* i have had warm banana-chocolate crêpes as a meal two days in a row.

* conversely, two bananas died on my counter this morning. cause of death: a case of unmonitored ripening that progressed into terminal inedible mushiness within, it seems, 24 hours.

* i took the night off from the documentary festival because i was very tired.

* conversely, today was the first day at the fest when the strangers i met in line and in theatres were very chatty and friendly. and, for those of you who have followed my film festivalling in the past: i ran into mouthy martha at a screening this afternoon. she sat down next to a ticket scammer. i looked at both of them and thought, "that's sort of perfect."

* i have a huge craving for a fresh, well-done sirloin burger with lettuce, tomato and red onion.

* there is no "conversely" for that one. i really do want a burger.
