Brunch! Scrambled eggs, veggie Italian sausage with parsley, and a delectable homegrown heirloom tomato bruschetta. AND a couple bottles of Gruet (one Brut, one Blanc de Noirs) laced with vanilla bean gelato.
does that not look scrumptious?!
Part 2: A Shitty Day
Still full from the huge brunch and burping up about a liter's worth of bubbly, I decided to take a pleasant walk (no pleasant talk, but still a sheer delight) to free up some space and remind my legs and lungs what they're supposed to be doing. Is it just me or does the pace at which you walk affect your thought process? If I walk quickly I become self-absorbed (even by my lofty standards), though I usually create my most brilliant literary/linguistic works of art (most of which I am unable to recollect once in the midst of pen and paper). Walking quickly is dangerous; I think so internally and so heavily that I see life in a more existential light. But slacken my pace and I almost forget about my existence, so enveloped am I by my surroundings, boring though I may normally find them. Such as: stink bugs! Have you ever watched these buggers in their natural environment? They were bountiful, and as such on my mind, but I didn't pay close heed until I found two embroiled in what I can only assume was an epic brawl. Apparently they are very territorial, at least according to my own personal beetle sociology studies, and these two were ready to cut throat for a slice of new land. These two were wrestling something fierce for maybe 30 seconds and then split up and the loser retreated about a foot and a half to what was most likely his original plot. Then I looked around and noticed a fair few little patches of rocky dirt each being carefully patrolled by a keen-eyed, fisticuffed beetle. But they were all fairly stoic under my gaze, causing me to wonder if I had witnessed the end or interrupted the climax of the aforementioned beetle brawl. So, having successfully disrupted the natural order of the sting bug, I continued on my journey. Anyway, I took a bunch of pictures and here they are!
Sky!
Now for the Shitty Part!
