April 17
So tired today. The only reason I am awake right now is because I promised Anna I'd meet her for tea at 10. Missed a poem yesterday, oops. Gonna take me a bit to find the positive side of today, but I'm sure I will. Might skip pushups, too. I will feel guilty about this, but such is life.
I'm going to have to start reminding myself that fencing doesn't mean I can eat whatever I want. There were two 12" pizzas and 4 people last night. I'm not sure how many pieces I ate, since they were cut into funny squares, but I am fairly certain I ate most of them - after eating most of the salad, too. The pizza wasn't even that good. I think some of that was emotional eating. I was feeling like crumbling. need to stop all of that, yes sir. At least I had the salad. Mmm, salad.
Now I'm going to plug the Looking Glass cafe. It opened just up the street from me on Main, next to Cycle 9. They've only been open two weeks, and their menu is pretty simple (coffee, tea, some simple sandwiches and pastries - I think they're getting Kelley's Cupcakes, which is AWESOME and would be awesomer if I ate cupcakes), but the owner seems to be a very nice young lady who is dedicated to local (they get their coffee from Carrboro Coffee Co). They plan on having music. The decor is awesome. One of their coffee table magazines is Giant Robot. And - this is the best part - THEY AREN'T OPEN EYE. It's not like I loathe the Eye, it's just that it feels like a big grad student warehouse most of the time. Yuuuuck. Glass is cosier by far, the baristas aren't 'too cool for you', and it's nice and quiet (for now). A great place for a conversation. I highly recommend.
