Well, it finally happened- a punctuation mark. This whole thing with me and The Letters actually had me ruminating on the frequency of the characters i am (and will be) seeing. Sort of like Scrabble, with its plentiful E's and N's; sure, you're gonna see more than a few O's and S's occur in everyday natural objects, and maybe T's, but when are you ever gonna see a freakin' Q or a capital R? ::shrug::
i told myself not to worry about it so damn much and just take it as it comes. For f**k's sake, does anyone else think such trivial ideas to pieces as much as i do (please say yes)? i mean, many of the letters i see actually are letters that are simply removed from whatever box or page or marquee they belong to in the world- as opposed to the amazing AMPERSAND i saw today in a fallen buckwheat soba noodle.
Yeah, you heard me. An ampersand... how very! i'd extracted a test noodle from the roiling water and watched as it fell off of my fork and onto the cutting board below, only to form a perfect printer's mark:
the "&".
...awesome ;) Certainly never saw that one coming.
Anyway, the noodle was overdone, but i was so glad that i'd waited to check them until that one particular moment. This happening was also much more palatable than the unmistakable "S" i saw in the bathroom sink today; an errant hair, a bit of whimsy.
