Is That Something?
It had been my habbit these many years to break my eggs against the side of the frying pan, until I saw Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers. In that movie, the character Theo nonchalantly fries a few eggs while his sister and her lover have sex on the kitchen floor. The audience is shocked and outraged when, in a masterful twist, Bertolucci has the brother break the eggs not on the side of the pan, but, rather, by tapping them sharply with the edge of a spatula!
Since then I have follwed Theo's example, as I did this morning. Tap Tap went the spatula, and Crack went the shell. Inserting my thumbs into the narrow crevice, I carefully pulled the egg apart and watched as not one, but two yolks fell to the sizzling butter below.
What does this mean? Is it an omen? What do the ancients tell us?

Or else it means you will soon give birth to a two-headed chicken.
Or perhaps that there will be a marriage.

Well, here's hope to more breakfast and a wedding.
