Time may change me, but I can't...

After about 17 years of vegetarianism, I've started eating fish. It was a tough decision, and has taken some work in getting my body re-acclimated, but I'm enjoying the new options. The real driver was my lactose intolerance...going out to eat was getting very difficult and repetitive

Fish was the one thing I never gave up (though I really don't eat much of it), so technically I'm a pescatarian. Sushi rocks my face and there's no way I could stop eating it.

I find the term "vegequarium" way more amusing than I should.

By the time I discovered sushi, I was already a vegetarian. So this was the first time I got to experience real sushi.

If the zine isn't going to be free anymore, does this mean that an opportunity to subscribe may be in the works?

Good question...I actually didn't even think of that. Maybe!

1. http://www.urbanspoon.com/t/23/2/Pittsburgh/Vegan-Friendly-restaurants - i don't believe your reason. eating vegetarian and dairy free/eating vegan is only becoming easier. this is not to say that i think it's fucked up that you started eating fish or anything. that's whatever.

2. burnt out. burnt library. haaaaa.
i was getting so sad reading about how you are not going to be doing the zine for a while, but... this fall is only a season away! it seems like you are still motivated. awesome. i will be excited to see the new form things take.

even though i don't live in pittsburgh.

1. Oh, it's definitely easier eating vegan than it would've been years ago. One of my favorite restaurants will always be the Double-wide Grill, which is super-vegan friendly. I just suppose I got tired of being-doubly limited by my lactose intolerance. If it had been my decision, that'd be different, but instead my body started being a jerk to me.

2. You know, it always begins somewhere. It's not the first time I've taken a break. But sooner or later, I listen to an album or go to a concert that I feel like I need to tell the world about.

do you like march violets?

i got their new EP in the mail to review for graceless and had the kind of experience you describe here. so awesome!! i'm glad that after all these years i can still get this excited about the music.

maybe i'll be around when the next issue comes out and i'll pick one up! i'm not sure what the hell is going on with my life right now...

[jdecay]

They're a band I've always meant to pick something up by them, but have never gotten around to it. It's good to know they're still around, putting out new music.

bacon-wrapped scallops is still considered fish, right?

[jdecay]

Heh! So far, I don't think I like scallops, actually.
