1. Was 2011 a good year for you ( Read more... )

Sunday through Wednesday were unusually good days, actually. I ate well, slept less, and made it to 3 meetings.Thing sort of crashed Thursday, as I was tired and somewhat sleep-deprived and really didn't have much to do. I slept most of that day and even ate a lot of carbs. It was decidedly decadent and low-keep. In retrospect, I suppose, one could ( Read more... )

I went for a walk today, to THE bookstore. Modesto really only has 2 bookstores --one used and the other a Barnes and Noble, which are across the street from each other --and, technically, a third one that is primarily a comic shop ( Read more... )

I walked the 3 miles to the doughnut shop, again. Yes, I did eat a doughnut --after telling Gail I would not. I also drank an obnoxiously large Sierra Mist ( Read more... )

Aside from eating, sleeping, talking, moving, and masturbation, there are few things that constitute a typical day for me. That being said, I've been known to get into patterns and ruts. Despite loathing ruts, I seem to do my best when I'm transitioning into one. It's pulling myself out of the ditch that I have the greatest difficulty ( Read more... )

Pizza is an interesting food, to say the least. I'd like to see some academic research done on its impact as a food.

I feel much better. I had a meal that didn't involve grilled cheese, and something that I cooked. Of course I must admit it was something as simple as spaghetti. I also had some coffee. It takes a longer time for caffeine to work its way out of one's system than I recall ( Read more... )

It is week 8 in the quarter. While most of my friends have enjoyed semester systems throughout their college education, I have was dealt the cruel blow of the UC quarter [the exceptions are Berkeley and Merced]. The quarter is a grueling experience; for me, regardless of what goals I set, regardless of how hard I try, something conspires against me ( Read more... )

By week 3 of a 10 week term, I think it's pretty safe to say that patterns are established and that one should begin stressing about mid-terms. Damn ( Read more... )

Everybody really is working for the weekend. I forgot to mention that cliché when I listed cliches in my last entry, however I'm not sure anyone read it. A week is a long time without an update, and one long update ain't what most people go to read. Fortunately, aside from communities, there are only four journals that update regularly and I read ( Read more... )
