beware the slumpy

So, remember the other night when I was talking about Ketchup Chips? Well, I was in the grocery store tonight, and I wasn’t even looking for snacks, and there, sitting with the cheese puffs, was one, lonely, single bag of:

Ketchup Chips!

Oh dear, I am doomed.

Actually, it’s been over ten years since I’ve been to Canada, so it has been that long since I’ve tasted them. I don’t want to open them tonight: I’m not hungry, and I want to enjoy them.

But sooooon. Probably tomorrow night.

The cashier said “Do you like those?” and I explained about getting them each time I went to Canada and not having them for a long time. She said that they were selling out fast, and I explained that it was the last bag that I saw. I’m torn between wanting them to carry these regularly, and these chips being a random sort of thing that I only have on occasion. It probably makes me appreciate them more.

So. Yeah. Ketchup chips! See you tomorrow!

Before I receive e-mails from angry folks from Georgia: Yes, I know that it isn’t all your fault.

If you want to see more about this, including a video that shows how far off the patch actually is,  NPR Science Friday has a good report on it.

See you tomorrow, dears.

Oh, you can look this one up yourself. Actually, there are apparently uses for jellyfish outside of the natural food chain, as a quick search reveals. My darling mentioned the whole jellyfish overpopulation and searching for uses line to me, and it stuck in my head.

Also, I’ve been trying to hit the beach now and then this summer. I love swimming in salt water. Lately, however, that has proven difficult with how many jellyfish there are in the water. They’re really pretty, but not when one wants to relax in the sun and surf and their stinging little tentacles are just in the most uncomfortable of places. Reminds me of an anime I once saw…
