hello hello and what's what?
sorry again for not posting in, like, forever. but mom, i know you're not disappointed because i've been calling you every day anyway! and i'm pretty sure that you're the only one who reads anymore. wah wahhhhh.
anyway, i felt led to post today because i just ordered chipotle for delivery. that sounds reasonable, right? chipotle is yummy. but. but! guess how much it costs to have chipotle delivered to your door?
20 buckaroos.
that's right.
20 hot ones!
wow.
well, that happened. and i had to share. the reason i felt ok about it is because i am not feeling well. do you know what it's like when you feel a cold coming on and start to feel really sorry for yourself and get really lazy and there is only one thing in the world that sounds palatable? that is that and on its way it is.
i guess we'll see if it even arrives. that is definitely iffy due to the third party nature of the website from which i ordered it.
in other news, it was fun to watch the announcement of the newest pope master funk today. perhaps i haven't talked about it much on my blerg, but i'm slightly and inherently skeptical of a religion that is solely run by gentleman folk (of course i love gentleman folk but i think there is room for lady folks in the hierarchy of religion most assuredly and always). therefore, i sat with bated breath to see if they'd choose a rabble rouser (yeahh!) or a ceremonial figurehead (boo!).
when cardinal jorge bergoglio was announced in all the high church (=latin) pomp and circumstance, i think it took everyone a bit to get their bearings. who is this guy and why does his name sound south american?
ok, ok his name doesn't necessarily sound south american. but maybe it does? ok. so it's spanish. could have been european or south american. or african? why do i think an african person can't have a spanish name?
anyway. way off the point. so far, what do we know of this new pope francis? well, we know that he named himself after st. francis of assisi. you know this girl likes that right off the bat because st francis was a lover of the poor, the disenfranchised, and those who couldn't speak for themselves (especially animals and the environment). he was basically a tree hugging hippie. i'm praying that this choice of name was a nod in that direction.
he's also a jesuit, which typically conveys a more social justice minded cleric. the "jevvies" are known as scholars and gentlemen who like to "shake things up" (per my grandfather via my mother). here's to hoping.
signing off,
k and e (this dog couldn't be less interested in popes or more interested in burritos)
here's a fire to listen to as you're reading and digesting
