Istanbul's blog

Every year come November comes a shopaholistic attack. What is that you ask? Shopaholism is "compulsive shopping motivated by irresistible impulses, characterized by spending that is excessive and inappropriate, usually has harmful consequences for the individual, and tends to be chronic."

I don't need a new car, can't afford a new car but I have a new car shopaholic attack in progress. Last year when I had a similar attack I was impaled for weeks on the horns of a soul disturbing dilemma, Honda or Chevy? so I did the unthinkable.
I sought automobile advice from my friend Emmy Lou.

"Have a cold shower, get laid, masturbate if you must then go smoke some weed" was her considered advisement. Must have worked even though I only managed 2 of her suggestions.
Now Emmy Lou is vacationing in Constantinople and is not answering her email.
I don't think her previous advice will work this year. Besides I do not smoke.

Honda or GM? I will decide while I boil my egg in the morning. Tonight I will take it out of the fridge and lay it on it's side. That way as it gets to room temp the yolk will center. Nothing spoils a new sunny day than discovering your breakfast egg's yolk is all scrunched up to one side.
