There's a midget apple on my desk from Panera Bread. I think they use a reverse steroidal treatment on the apples to stunt their growth. I have never seen such small apples before in my whole life. They are even smaller than the apples we had in my elementary school cafeteria. One would think that the flavor of these apples would be more tasty, considering the flavor should be concentrated in a smaller volume. However, this is not the case. Oh well, their speciality is bread, not fruit for goshsakes. Maybe I should think of it like a giant crabapple... not a midget apple. Then I can be joyous again.

I have to type in here so that I can test whether this blog post will get extra line breaks inserted automatically into it. I wonder why it would do that? I am glad it's Friday. Puppies are cute. Happy mother's day to all you moms out there. The paper flowers on my desk are springy. I am drinking Costco green tea. It's yummy.

The public has it all wrong about the "sexy" Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photo. I think she's probably just paying tribute to the late Heath Ledger and expressing her fanaticism about the Batman movies. With her pasty white skin and smudged red lipstick, Miley could pass for the super villain's niece or something.
