*On the phone with a good friend yesterday*
Me: Hey, can you hold on for a while? I need to pee.
FG: Oh ok ok. I need to use the toilet too!
Me: So what? Do we hang up and I call you back or we just hold on?
FG: Hold on lah! And we just see who comes back first!
Me: Ok! I need to go NOW! Talk to you in a bit!
Although I could easily have brought the phone into the toilet with me, I just don't feel comfortable in doing so even though, technically, the person on the other end of the line can't see what you're doing. But it's just weird to be talking to someone on the phone in the toilet, don't you think?
On another note, girls' bladders always seem to synchronize. We like to go to the toilet in pairs/groups. It's like one of those laws in the universe. Guys never understand why girls like to go to the toilet together. Maybe it's a sisterhood thing. We like to have someone to talk to when we stroll to the toilet. And if you somehow don't like some of the people you're with, you can bitch about these undesirable beings with your trusted companion. Heh.
Anyway, there's some silly musings for you on a wet Monday morning on the first work day of 2005.

Posted by: Woof! at January 3, 2005 3:42 PMI'm not sure if I should be mentioning food in the same entry as the bathroom, but I was glancing at the covers of the books you're reading, and, remembering what a food buff you are, I wanted to recommend you read this writer for the year ahead. Maybe you've already read her work. MFK Fisher is famous in the literary world for her books and essays on food. Her body of work is rather large but you could start with "The Art of Eating." I read her non-food stuff before, I even taught one of her essays last year, but it was only recently that I recalled that she's mainly a culinary writer. Oh, and she was born in Michigan. =)
