all i wanted was peanut butter

i spent the day being bored out of my mind and while watching an episode of "The Nanny", i suddenly have a craving for peanut butter sandwiches.  so that's what i did at precisely 8pm today... i ventured out to find peanut butter.

i guess i could have gone to the nearest 7/11 and see if they have peanut butter, but as i've spent the whole day at home, i need fresh air.  so i went for a walk... 

after finding peanut butter about an hour later, i realized that 
1.) i'm tired
2.) i'm thirsty
3.) i'm a bit further from home than i expected
4.) i have no idea which direction to continue walking, and
5.) i forgot to bring my train ticket so i couldn't (or wouldn't) take the train back.

so... after a stop over at starbucks, i started finding my way back with the help of signs on top of high-rise buildings - because i don't remember the street names....

while wandering around the city, taking random turns at buildings that look familiar, i realized that i wasn't worried that i was lost.  in fact, i was quite thrilled.  it's a bit exciting to be lost - mind you, if i were to be lost in a deserted area i would freak, but i was lost in a city filled with skyscrapers so it was amusing.

anyway, what started out as a quick trip to get peanut butter turned out to be a very fulfilling 2 hour walk around the city.

hmmm... maybe i should get out more....
