Feta

Mike: Eggplant yogurt and feta spread...?
Me: Did you just say "Fetus Bread?"
Mike: No I said 'Feta Spread'.
Me: *looks at carton of greek yogurt*  ...That's feh-tuh, dear.

Art

Sometimes art is about finding your idea, then finding your audience and backtracking to them through this confusing muck of cultural excess, and then drawing them a map, either literally or figuratively.  And sometimes it's about being a member of the audience, and this is an easier but less reliable way, picking a directions and just going and hoping you find something worthwhile, and if you do, you report back to your people how to get there.  Does that makes sense?
No.
Well, see there, I'm not a very good artist.

Moving

Any day now we'll be packing up this 10 year experiment and moving on to phase 2 in a new location.... yep, any day now.  Apparently it's totally normal to jump through endless hoops for your mortgage company, wait indefinitely for them to tell you, "Okay, you can start giving us 20% of your income now," and then begin trudging your meager possessions through the snow drifts to move them to the new house.  Any day we'll be doing that.  We were supposed to be moving 3 weeks ago.  We'll be lucky if we get to the new place by Christmas.

Baked Tostitos

Why do baked tostitos get warm when you chew them?
Anybody else notice this? I don't see anything in the ingredients that would likely cause a noticeable exothermic reaction with saliva....maybe I'm just weird.

...time passes...

Upon further consideration... my best guess is that it is a mechanical effect caused by the particles of corn crunching against each other. You would get the same effect in any other corn chip, sure, but Baked Tostitos have very little fat, and so little place for the heat to go in those high-friction movements. Perhaps the fat in corn chips acts as a lubricant for the corn particles.
Though, I'm sitting here with a piece of a chip just in my mouth, not chewing...and it's getting a little warm, but not as warm as it does if I chew. So maybe it has two causes.... wow this is a dull day at work, huh?

Under-appreciated Phenomenon

Boiling.  It's something you come to just accept as normal, like gravity, or opossums, but it's actually really kinda weird.  Watch a pan of water boil on the stove.  (It'll happen, no matter what they say.)  Where do the bubbles come from?  They start on the bottom, UNDER the water.  Where does the air come from?  How does it get under there?  It's rapid vaporization of the water and the bubbles really only form because the pressure from the expanding steam is greater than the pressure of the water.  So that's not all that weird, when you think about it, but until you've read or deduced the explanation..just LOOK at it.  We learn pretty early on that you can't get something from nothing, but this every-day phenomenon seems to defy that.
