u smell dat? o_O

before this past week, i would've been the first person to ask about ANY foreign smell.. people who know me well KNOW that i can smell people cookin' oatmeal in Siberia.

and yet.. i've burnt things this week.

dude.. all that brown is CHEESE. o_O

you know how people say frozen pizzas taste like cardboard..? well, they're wrong. they taste fine until you burn them.. then they taste like BURNT cardboard.

don't worry, i'm not proud of that. 

seriously.

i'm tellin' you.. & this may sound craZy, but literally, when things are "done" i could smell the "doneness" before what happened two weeks ago..

and NOW. my sense of smell is BROKE. BUSTED. JACKED UP.

ha.

this isn't funny. i'm disturbed.

j-boy #1 says it's probably got sumthin to do with that good 'ol dentist maxillofacial surgeon visit i made not too long ago.. you can read about it here..

and yea.. i know what you're probably thinkin'

"here we go again!  girl, get over it!!"

but, you'd be bugged out too if all of a sudden part of you is not workin' right.. wouldn't you??

and you KNOW they say the ear, nose & throat are ALL connected.

  o___O

we 'gone be eatin' sum burnt EVERYthing 'til i get this worked out.

God help me. & my nose.

maybe i'm overreacting, right..?

okay.. to be fair.

either it's the surgery OR me just getting too distracted writing to you about all of my drama..

hmm..  ;)

how do YOU spell relief??

sorry.. yesterday i got home too late to write. but i come to you now bearing GOOD news!!

my cheek is free!!  ^.^ (read thursday's post for details..)

i decided to do a photo blog post to walk you thru my outing.. it was kinda fun...

left me with lots of appreciation for photographers..  heh heh..

if there's one thing i appreciate about the city is that people go out of their way to make every tiny patch of green beautiful..  <3

see what i mean?

you ever seen the movie "stand by me?"  this pic reminds me of that movie sumhow.. "wanna see a dead body?"

as i walked behind these guys lookin' all touristy together, i couldn't help but wonder if they color coordinated on purpose.. 

i think dressin' alike on purpose is nauseating, but these guys made me smile.

.... they both had white hair.. ;) 

cute. 

not to mention, i've blogged about purses like the one she's carrying!! how insane is that!?  check it out here!

people trying to make it seem like spring time.. with a bunch o' fake flowers mixed in with leaves. 

*tsk tsk tsk*

i'm a BIG fan of mums. they welcome autumn sO warmly. 

:)

i felt like such an awesome photographer after taking this shot.. don'tcha LOVE the shadow & sun beamin' thru..?  

(maybe i'm secretly awesome) lol

i came back to this spot a few hours later... PACKED.. 

people EVERYwhere..

 i also enjoy that about the city.. 

:)

wouldn't you be? them shoes is bootleg. O_o

on broadway or 6th ave.. no gas, though.. lol

well.. i don't know if i'll ever do this again.. it was kinda fun takin' the pics, but honestly, i'm NO photographer..  maybe i should make up stories for each one.. 

oh, & btw.. remember what my FIRST question would be when i arrived at the maxillofacial surgeon (ie., people that jack up yO mouf)??  

WHY is my cheek in my pit??

she had the NERVE to tell me that it wasn't my cheek. O_o

then WHAT was it? lol

it "disappeared" when she took the stitches out.. & NOW i can open my mouth. 

whatever. -_-

tee hee.

oh.. btw.. happy October 1st!  

;)

about as UNcreative as it gets..

do you ever spend HOURs reading other peoples' blogs while you could be working on awesome projects? *sigh*
