Brothers on a Hotel Bed

I was going to write something deep and meaningful but I am now distracted by the chat function of facebook. That and planning the demise of people I have never met. Today was an interesting day. I had to send some things to Amman, Jordan for my boss. Just so you know, sending things to Jordan is an expensive endeavour. But if you do send things to Jordan (in a hurry too) make sure you go to the FedEx Kinkos in Clarendon because then you will have a nice gentleman from Guinea to wait on you. Of course he might get a little too friendly and tell you that you are beautiful and that he wants  you to take him to the UK with you forever. But then of course, he might not. It's a bit of a lottery really. You win some, you lose some; I am not going to attempt to tell you which option is winning and which is losing. Hilarity in the form of men in the service sector follows me wherever I go. My bus driver asked for my number ab0ut a month ago (he never called) becuase it was his last day on the route. The thing that both these things have had in common is that I have had absolutley no makeup on. Interesting. Makeup insulates me from slightly creepy guys who choose inappropriate moments to try and chat me up. New rule: wear make at all times. Even to bed. Be safe ALL the time. 
Today lunch, courtesy of Omar, came from a store downstairs called "Organics To Go." Here is my review:
The menus and ordering process are unclear in this small To Go spot. The soups are worthy of the soup Nazi himself but my Yucatan Taco salad was smelly and disappointing though it did have a kick. The cookies are MASSIVE and quite delicious and the selection of chips is pleasing. Your order will come in a "unique lunch BAG (that) is made with additives which completely biodegrade the bag into harmless hydrocarbons" in other words, if you aren't happy with your meal you can at least know that you aren't harming the envirnoment too much while eating. Overall not a hugely satisfying experience - I will return to Chipotle next time.
