Age, wisdom, power, confusion...

Life can be fucking surreal at times.
Baked squash is good.
I'm tired of breaking in my shoes.
How much balsamic vinegar is enough anyhow?
I love my stereo.

This morning Ruth called randomly. I suppose she can sense when I have a need to talk to her. In fact, it's down right creepy. I suppose that is what happens when you have been friends since before they invented the wheel, but still...

After talking to her, I napped for quite a while, as I had a rather late and interesting night last night. Hopefully I didn't make a total fool of myself. Good news is that making a fool out of myself is one of my hobbies, so I'm used to dealing with the consequences. And no, I'm not going to mention any details, because being randomly mysterious and vague is another one of my hobbies. Let's just say nothing was burned down, and no one involved the cops.

Currently, I am eating squash doused in butter and cane sugar. Simple, yet tasty. I spent most of the rest of the day acquiring, and then creating what will soon be another of my marinated salads of doom. Sadly no cheese or bacon, as I made it vegan, but it will be damned good anyway. My Mexican avocados are perfectly ripe today as well, making it even more exciting. Here's what I've got going in the salad so far:

Steamed: Potatos, squash, red peppers, white onions, eggplant.
Fried savory: Mushrooms, tofu
Other: Pine nuts, walnuts, chopped green onions, chopped avocados

All this will be layered and marinated in a dressing made of random chopped herbs, olive oil, tahini, balsamic, and lemon

Before serving we'll add arugula and field greens with chopped apples.

It will be one hell of a salad, if I do say so. I hope it turns out well. I've done salads similar to this before and they've worked out pretty well in the past. I'm sorry for driveling on and on about a salad, but well, what can I say, vegetables and fruits excite me.

Besides all that, it is unknown what I'll get up to tonight. Maybe I'll wander down to the lake or something. I should be studying this stupid wine course, but wine can only hold my interest for so long (when I'm not drinking it anyway) and I've been in the mood to roam. It would be a change from entertaining the residents of the Annex by dancing around the apartment like a fool, which has been my other main entertainment for the day.
