Unemployment Day 1: I went grocery shopping
And also, I need to practice pan searing scallops. Unless I die of undercooked shellfish in the next few days. Then I guess I don't need to bother ( Read more... ) -
To Do List
I'm going to have a lot of time. So I thought I'd post a to-do list for myself. There are some things I'd like to finally get through.
+ Finally finish Dune. I started it and got about an eighth through it?
+ Finally finish Shriek. I'm so close to the end, I just stopped reading it for some reason.
+ Finally finish The United States of Arugula. I'm ( Read more... ) -

Writing for Script Frenzy. On track so far. I've decided to write five 20 page scenes on a theme. My theme is vaginas, but I'll only let two of the scenes include sex. Dunno how I'm going to do this. Maybe giant vagina monsters? We'll see ( Read more... ) -
Sing
I found my bottle opener ring over the weekend, a relic from another time. I used to wear it everywhere in the post-Ari period, and there was always a longneck that needed just a bit of force to reveal the often frosty brew within. What I missed most about it, besides the time that it represented, when Rich and I spent most of our time examining ( Read more... ) -
Fucking HELL
So I had started a post here with some really good stuff, and I lost it. So, fucking HELL.
Let me sum up.
I've been feeling down, and whether or not this has anything to do with the countdown to what you people with significiant others call Valentine's Day and I call Buy and Drink a Bottle of the Cheapest Alcohol You Can Find Day, I don't know. My ( Read more... ) -

Contact with a chindi could cause sickness. If I had known that, would I ( Read more... ) -
Voodoo
Been cooking more formally recently. Instead of just wandering in and making a pizza or something, I've made a variation on one of Julia Child's soup recipes; also made clam chowder and fish and chips. Fish and chips never gets old.
The oil in my deep fryer, though...needs to be replaced.
I'm in the open beta for Star Trek Online, in theory, a ( Read more... ) -

Everybody scream
I'm dissatisfied with my job. I'm having a tough time getting myself to care. I'm thinking I might just be burnt out - I don't really take a lot of time off. I'm thinking I should start. But I don't know what to do with time off - traveling to do stuff with friends and family burns me out, too, and laying around...well, fuck, I do that every night ( Read more... )
