It took me forty minutes to turn on my laptop today. It’s fine when I’m at home and it’s plugged in. It beeps, whirs, asks for a swip of my finger and I’m all set. But for some reason it freaks when I take it around town. Do computer suffer from social anxiety? Maybe performance [...]
Oh Lordy me! Time goes by so quickly and Elle and I cooked this meal so long ago, back before nights were blustery and the prospect of staying in to do homework while staying warm was actually intriguing. But that was then and this is now.
A sidenote: I drank less than a cup of coffee [...]
It’s been awhile dudes. Sometime in mid-july I decided to remove the words “should” and “need to” from my vocabulary. Ergo, sentences such as “Man… I should update my blog…” or “There are all these pictures I need to write about…” Suddenly were illogical and did not register in my brain. So there’s a bit [...]
Listening to music, warm days, darkening skin from the actual SUN, this is what summer is! The joy that comes from feeling like a human again, I totally welcome it. I am back from the woods! They were wonderful, full of mosquitos, deer, broken cabin things and dogs eating fly carcasses. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, [...]
…I sleep all night and I work all day. Or I will be tomorrow. Except not. But I’ll be in Canada! In the woods! An automatic Lumberjackization for me. My family and I are heading up into the depths of the even-more-North-than-Minnesota for a week. Or two… or something. We won’t have internet, dear electronic friends! [...]
Does taking pictures of cooked lentils freak you guys out too? I hate that it makes me feel this way, because I love eating it so, so much. And it’s easy to make, too. Why, why oh why, must I feel this way? It’s just the pictures. sit me down in front of a nice bowl of lentils [...]
Hey dudes and dudettes, the lack of posting has been due my complete preoccupation with June 2008: The Awesome Summer of Sickness. Super-fun so far! It’s that kind of cold where one finally feels better, plans and executes an actual social activity, only to wake up the next day completely broken and battered. And then the [...]
Is that homework is a very useful, powerful procrastination tool. One must obviously be wise in summoning the power that is all things food. This time it was the eggplant parmesan gods who shone down on me. It all started, per usual, as I lounged around near the TV, guiltily avoiding my homework. I flipped [...]
Sometimes I think so much about myself that I forget that other people like to eat. Or, more specifically, other things like to eat. As in my homework. As in me… alive. My homework likes to eat me alive, chewing the fatty pieces extra hard, just for the fun of it. I knew there was [...]
(Perhaps that title would be better suited for my “Beans Beans, the Magical Fruit” post) What is it with taking pictures of soup? Why does the suckage always seem to happen? I could have this fantastic, warm and filling soup and the photos would do it no justice. Either the top collects the soup’s oil [...]
