Musings on a Winter's Day in Autumn

My brother has been cramping my cooking style in the kitchen recently with his little better than tinned boot-camp stews and more tasteless than manufactured tomato based pasta sauces, but what has been bothering me is life in general. Maybe its because its winter (its cold in Aus right now, while technically being Autumn [its not called fall - in Australia that's a verb!! and a noun, but still, Autumn, doesn't it have a nice ring to it?]), maybe its because I was clothslined a few days ago and was seen to have a "Marcia-style" nose, and puppy-dog eyes (due to the swelling), and was hence feeling like a 70's dog-man, however it could have been because some crazy woman just kept walking into me as I crossed the road, despite the fact that I made every effort to get out of her way, and ended up clipping my muscley shoulder (too bad for her), today, and hence therefore in conclusion, well make up your own minds, but I really just think we need to start cooking better food, using better ingredients, watching Iron Chef more often, creating an Iron Chef channel for cable (wouldn't help me I don't have cable, 80% of it's CRAP anyway), and generally life would get better for everyone; that crazy woman wouldn't be so peeved, and my brother would be inspired to learn some cooking skills to catch up with his peers. Hey some car just beeped its way past my house (in suburbia)! Dammit he obviously wanted a better dinner!
