Oh look! A decoy! 27 February 2007 9:41 pm
Posted by Tracy in : eugene, meta, pictures, sundance , trackbackDear readers,
In lieu of a post of substance, I am posting an embarrasing photo of myself. But first, a question: when I signed into WordPress just now, it showed yesterday’s post as “private,” meaning maybe none of you saw it until I changed the status a few minutes ago. Anybody care to report whether Monkey Monday actually happened on, y’know, Monday this week? I’d sure appreciate it. And now, the decoy:
Yes, that’s me dressed up as a tomato in the 2005 Eugene Celebration parade, picture courtesy of Peter. Of course there’s a little bit of a story there, but it’s all too well-summarized by Peter’s Flickr comments on his post of the photo: “Note the green vine holding her to the other tomatoes (not pictured, to the right).” Yes, I was trying to drag the group along. I was in marching band in high school, okay? And no, hippies do not parade well. Like herding cats and all that. You get the idea.
While you’re all distracted with laughing, I’m going to brain dump some future substantial post topics that haven’t even made it into the rough draft stage yet: field report on my awesome new knife, the split pea soup I made for dinner last night and how it grew out of control because I was so excited to be using my new knife, adventures in measurement conversions, Ripe For Change (so much better than The Future of Food!), cast iron cookery (sorry, Liz! I’ve been thinking but not writing!), and oatmeal. There. Writing down ideas in public isn’t as good as freaking doing them already, but it’s better than keeping them all hidden to myself like some kind of brain crack addict.
And now I MUST SLEEP.

Monkey Monday happened, and then disappeared. I thought maybe you’d retracted your random thoughts. I was sad.
I didn’t mean it! I don’t even know how I did it! It should be back as of last night…
Cute costume!
What you can’t see in this picture is that the hat part of the costume is actually folded up all funny because it included a very scary green face mask. There were three of us dressed as tomatoes in all, plus a carrot, an eggplant, and I think an asparagus, but they weren’t tied together on a vine so they were a lot more free to move than I was.
