a fantastic meal
awwwww shit. today was one of the longer work days i've experienced in a while because i simply could not wake up. i got a good 6 hours of sleep last night but i think it was all fitful. i woke up in the middle of this strange dream where i was hanging out with elvis costello and then he randomly became jeff goldbloom, which i found disappointing. i woke up feeling like i hadn't slept at all.
the thing about work is that no matter how endless a particular day feels, it will eventually be over and done and in the past. i took a bus home, so convinced was i with my fatigue that i felt i couldn't even manage a two-mile walk. then i picked up my car and ran right to outpost for a substantial meal and fancy beer for a work buddy. here's what's for dinner:
-grilled chicken breast sandwich with artichoke spread, goat cheese, spinach, and tomato
-peach-ginger smoothie
-black cherry belgian kriek beer
-1.25 oz lake champlain organic chocolate bar with milk sea salt and almonds
DAMN i feel good now. not the healthiest meal in the world, but it could have been worse. (of course, it could ALWAYS be worse so that reasoning is pretty useless.) i've been doing this thing lately where on a regular basis i'll eat ridiculously simple food like rice and beans or a salad. but then every once in a while i'll splurge on a fancy restaurant or too much booze or take-out. i feel like this system's really working out for my mercurial nature. my exercise habits have been a similarly unholy combination of epic 2-hour bike rides one day followed by nothing but slothing around the house on the next. i seem to have really hit a stride with my lifestyle here. excess and restraint in satisfying proportions.
now i'm slothing around on my bed in front of a star trek episode and will probably be asleep within the hour. this is probably the awesomest end to a long day that i could ever hope for.
just a few more things:
-my class starts on monday. it'll be pretty intensive, but only four weeks long with straightforward familiar content. something about conservation and environmentalism.
-i'm inspired to take a legitimate yoga class and have been researching up on it a bit. one studio is only 2 miles from my house so i might go with that. we'll see.
-i am obsessed with massive attack's "blue lines" right now. i might like it even more than mezzanine. i've also been into discovering new music as of late ("my brightest diamond," "cold war kids"), revisiting old favorites ("ladytron," "chromeo"), and checking out what new music old bands have come up with ("rilo kiley," conor oberst's pretentious new band called.. no joke: "mystic valley band"). if you want to contribute to my listening pleasure, shout me a holla dawg.
mmk, sorry bout a basically pointless blog. i got some time on my hands, see.
