Problem: I never feel like preparing dinner for myself, and if I motivate myself to do it, then I don't feel enthusiastic about eating it. I love making breakfast and lunch and then eating them, but not dinner. Just not really a productive evening person. Solution: Don't prepare dinner; prepare lunch for tomorrow.

living here
I don't know who's here. This blog doesn't connect with my real name in any way that I'm aware of. I've decided to use it again as a pseudo-anonymous blog that is known about by people I know in real life and not connected in neon to my name. I haven't decided what to do with this blog exactly.

The fact that my bathroom is down the hall instead of inside my room doesn't mean that I don't rent it too. The rent I pay INCLUDES having access to that bathroom. You can't just CLOSE the bathroom ( Read more... ) -

Because see, when I have a proper apartment, then I will have decent food in it. Remember that chili and remember those biscuits and remember the potato-leek soup and the squash soup and the veggie stew and the sandwiches with baby greens and home-made dressing and remember all the smoothies? It's all about kitchen appliances. Really, they're great ( Read more... ) -
tattoo considerations
I'm thinking about getting this tattooed on me:
We lay on a hillside underneath the moon
and the whistles kept blowing and the dawn came soon --
We were very tired, we were very merry;
we had gone back and forth all night on the ferry....Those four lines of text, as an armband, around my right upper arm. Later, on the other upper arm, I get a ( Read more... )
