In which there’s, like, not much.
Apparently my brain is broken. I mean, I’m doing stuff – making bentos, knitting a hat, doing Xmas shopping online – but I can’t think of a single thing to write about. All my creativity is going into my tweets, I guess… there is a lot to be said for brevity (pun intended).
This dearth of stuff to write might be due to what I’m reading, which is pretty much nothing. In the past week I’ve consumed few nice sci-fi shorts and some cheesy erotica, but not enough to get my brain going. (I can tell I’m not reading enough when my in-use vocabulary drops to twelve single-syllable words.)
In keeping with the aimless, disjointed tenor of this entry, here are a few unrelated items:
– I want to buy a tiny little Christmas tree and hang tiny little lights and tiny little ornaments on it, and then plug it in and stare at it. For about nine hours. In the dark. With a cup of hot chocolate. Yeah.
– I need to figure out something to bring for the potluck tomorrow. Suggestions, anyone?
– Since I can no longer read anything more than ten feet away, I’ve decided it’s time for new contacts and some glasses. I have an eye appointment on Monday. It’ll probably take about two hours because I’m 40 and have astigmatism and floaters, which means A FULL EXAM WITH PRESSURE TEST AND DILATION. I seriously hate having my eyes dilated, but I’ll get to pick new frames for the first time in twenty years.
– It’s so slow at work today that I can barely keep my eyes open. But I’ve noticed that if I pick up my knitting, the phone will ring within eight stitches.
– Freaked out about the number of hits I get from people googling “my little pony porn,” I googled it myself. And it’s this. Naw, just kidding! It’s actually a game where you try to determine if a name belongs to either a My Little Pony item or a porn star. While I understand why my site is the first hit when people google the phrase (because GOOGLE IS MY BOYFRIEND), what I can’t figure out is why everyone’s googling it IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE.

I have that tiny little Christmas tree. With tiny little white lights and red and gold ornaments and a glass angel on the top. You can come over any time and stare at it. I’ll make you hot chocolate.
Perfect! I’ll be there in nine hours! You’ll need to pick me up at the Seetherabbits airport. *smooch* -m
1. My biggest hits are nursing students looking at “raw hamburger”, which is the ultimate state of wound porno.
2. I hate Xmas.
3. I would never suggest lunch items to a vegetarian.
4. It is late and I am waiting to see if the cig I dropped somewhere on the floor of my car when I was 1/4 of a mile away from home is going to die or turn my only connection with the outside world into a cinder.
5. Heart you.
“Wound porno.” Gack! *shudder* I made veggie chili. DON’T BLOW UP YOUR CAR, WOMAN. I heart you too! -m
Oye, something is wrong with me. I had to read “there is a lot to be said for brevity” six times before I finally got it. But it was well worth struggling with on this frosty Friday morning.
Can I hang with you and V? Christmas trees and hot chocolate might do my grinchiness some good.
Bring a mixed greens salad. Toss in some some feta and olives. Douse with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Boom! Quick and easy, plus potlucks (at least the ones I go to) never have enough veggies anyway.
LOL! Yes. And true that: most potlucks are all starch. -m
Too late, I know, but I’m totally making this tomorrow:

Slorp.
Oooh. Recipe porn! -m
Oh – and brava on the jizz cookbook link. Just when I thought I’d seen it all…
I know, right. Did you read the comments?! -m
I’ll only tell you this once:
Quart of 2% large curd cottage cheese
2 firm Roma tomatoes, cubed
1/2 cup diced Walla Walla sweet onion
1/2 cup diced red pepper
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
Paprika to taste
Mix first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Sprinkle with pepper & paprika.
Eat.
THAT SOUNDS TOTALLY YUM! -m
I’ve been doing hot chocolate (dark chocolate!) with black raspberry liqueur fairly regularly lately. No tree or pretty lights to look at though.
Dark hot chocolate with black raspberry sounds brilliant! -m
I thought about buying a small little tree, same plan as you, I just can’t decide. Carpet plus pine needles = oddness.
I’ve finally given in to cosmetic surgery and will go have lasik next month. Maybe I’ll not need -10 Rx glasses when I hit 50, just reading glasses.
Dilation used to be a once in every couple of years thing, now it’s every damn year and I hate it. I don’t like people touching my eyes, I like looking like I’m on crystal meth in the middle of the day even less.
Potluck: Fresh bread goes well with the season. If you want I’ll send you a recipe for slightly sweet bread for dipping in coffee.
You’re doing Lasik! So brave! I’ve been told I’m an ideal candidate but never went through with it. -m
Now see, I had the PERFECT thing for you to take to potluck…SIAP, the recipe is on my blog…to make vegetarian, substitute tofu for the ground meat part!
Gggggrrruuuggghhhh you already know how I feel about Christmas. I now have to go clear snow off the boughs so that I can make a giant wreath for the front of the house..it’ll have clear and blue lights and bells with a big red ribbon.
I’m so proud! You’re doing wreaths even though you loathe Xmas! You go! *smooch* -m
that game is awesome, i played it years ago and totally lost. yes, it’s true, i could not tell the difference between a pony and a porn star. this greatly reduced the number of play parties i was invited to.
(just kidding, never actually been invited to a play party, tho i’d like to be 🙂 )
ummm so… i missed the part about the jizz cookbook, where was that? (should i say “i got yer jizz cooker right here baby,” or would that be too tasteless?)
ps did u get yer tree yet? we dint get ours…
Naw, G’ma likes to wait until after the 11th to put up a tree. -m
