what i do all day long

so someone asked me if i prefer people's company in person or on the internet. i don't know why this is bothering me so much but it's probably because i spend an overwhelming amount of time on the internet and feel like i need to justify why. it's mostly because of this.

i had to sign up for an online class to make it as a full time student. it's women's studies/ethnic studies... focus on asian and hawaiian women. i have to literally sit in front of the computer for at least ten hours a week listening to podcasts, reading papers and watching videos for this class alone. so i get bored really easily and end up posting stupid shit on facebook all day. consequence, really.

if i didn't have this online class i probably would be playing more video games or going out more or maybe even working more. this class alone takes up 50% of my study time and it has all these ridiculous deadlines. right now i'm trying to write a paper on a person i never even interviewed. ugh! so yeah that's why i'm writing this. because i'm avoiding that paper. oh and i'm bored of facebook.

in other news: it is crazy hot in my room right now and i would do anything to be at the beach. i downloaded faraquet's anthology and am in love. fallout new vegas release in three days. i am looking into making a pizza from scratch! i bought soy beans for tofu but lack a blender. this is just a ramble.

p.s. if you want to see my desktop... well here you go.

i could sit here and sulk

i totally got food poisoning on monday from yummy's korean bbq. i need to figure it out. the last three times i've had food poisoning it's been from korean food. coincidence? i think not. it's probably because their sides sit out in the heat for prolonged periods of time without proper refrigeration. shouldn't be legal. whatever.

i'm fully recovered now! my body took a real hit and i've been trying to sleep it off/self medicate with aspirin but to little avail. i even had to call in sick to work on wednesday because i was still feeling so wonky. ughh. thank god it's finally over. just in time for the weekend!

anyway i've been really addicted to foursquare. i don't really understand what the points system is for (because i don't even know where i can see my total). there are sometimes deals/coupons so that's kind of cool.

oh and i'm back to shooting with my LC-A and sticking with kodak for the moment. but they only had 400 speed at longs... we'll see how this roll turns out.

a song about breaking up.

wearing pants in the kitchen

so on tuesday i woke up really late and missed all my classes. sometimes you just need days like that, you know? when you sleep in and let the body do it's thing. okay, so maybe my sleeping in might have had something to do with drinking the night before and getting in bed at 1:30am. but really, who are you to judge?

so back to the story. oh. i forgot to add this. i don't like to wear pants when i'm at home. is that weird? i don't know. i've talked about this with friends and no, it's not weird. i mean if my brother or mom are around then yes, of course, i throw on some shorts. but otherwise i am in boxers or underwear. you know. whatever.

so i was making bacon and eggs in my kitchen without pants on (because uh, it was 12pm and i was home alone) and BAM. just like that. the bacon crackled and the oil shot up in the air and hit my thigh. now i have this awful burn on my leg! okay, it's not that bad. but still. this is the point i was trying to get to.

always wear pants in the kitchen. always.

being ~healthy~

so my mom wants to try this whole eating better, save the planet, blah blah lifestyle. which is fine by me, don't get me wrong. but one of things she's been doing is cutting rice out of her diet (she doesn't eat it at dinner anymore) and cutting out meat/seafood/chicken from her diet. essentially just veggies ALL THE TIME.

i don't really dig it. it's mostly the lack of starch that bugs me. i love rice! potatos! noodles! bread! everything! i cannot let these things go as easily as i have let go of beefy-ness. but that's alright. i made this yesterday and it was really good. "tandoori tofu." i got the recipe from this site called eCurry. it's a veg website and everything looks super good. i wonder what kind of camera she uses.

anyway this morning i ate fried chicken from zippys with goma sauce all over. i have this new insane love for everything sesame. it's probably going to be horribly unhealthy for me in the long run since it's really high in phytic acid.

i should ~fill~ this void but i won't. because i can't.
