… but when I find Anger rearin’ its head, nothing makes me feel better than a combination of two or more of the following:

1) going running
2) watching an action/violence flick (in this case, Starship Troopers)
3) eating a bit of good chocolate
4) venting to a friend

Thankfully, tonight I was in the position to do ALL of them. And I have to say that I feel a bit better-prepared to sleep tonight. Not happy, but OK for slumber. And after I finish watching Johnny Rico and the gang shoot up some Bugs, I should be golden.

If you missed the whole “Putin rears his head” thing, check it out here (you’ll just have to wait to get past the Salon.com advertising screen… I apologize for my poor choice of link).

Back to a bit of the old ultra-violence for me (and that’s one movie I don’t have on DVD. I’ll need to rectify that sooner rather than later.)

So I did it. I left work early today (after getting in early) so that I could make my way to downtown Montclair before 6pm to stop at the London Food Company.

I walked in with my wallet in my hands. I meant business and I think the woman working at the counter could tell. I walked past the Walker’s Stem Ginger Biscuits (which I also love but which I can find at my local supermarket for a few cents cheaper) and straight to the shelves in the back - directly across from the cans of treacle pudding and spotted dick.

In about 60 seconds, I grabbed three (3) packages of Crawford’s Garibaldi biscuits, two (2) Cadbury Fruit and Nut bars (straight from the UK; none of this Hershey processed crap for me!) and one (1) canister of McVitie’s Hob Nobs with chocolate.

Twenty one dollars and 80 cents later, I am a happy happy girl. With a tummy full of Garibaldi biscuits.

I’ll have to do some food porn photography tomorrow to help express my love of the biscuit. And of the packaging. There’s something fun about that, too. I must also mention that I am forever indebted to my friend Sara for introducing me to the “squashed fly” biscuit in the first place.

And now, sleep. I have another one of those headaches coming on, so it’s probably best to take some painkillers now so I can sleep through the night.

(Never let it be said that I don’t follow through.)
