In which there’s yum. So today I made pinto beans, brown rice, enchilada sauce, salad, and spicy crumbled tofu, and here it all is assembled into a meal on a plate. Electric pressure cookers are amazing for making beans and brown rice, by the way. You can do beans from dry in 35 minutes and […]
In which a man suggests that women and men are, in fact, different. And gets fired for it. Isn’t there evidence that males tend to cluster, intellectually, more toward genius or idiocy, whereas females tend to cluster toward average? If so, this means that while there are, of course, both genius and idiot women, it […]
In which this is my first meal of the day, so it’s breakfast! Pink pinto soup and a brie sandwich on baguette. I didn’t get up until nearly four o’clock this afternoon. I was supposed to have gone to meet my aunt for lunch, but I was still asleep when she called around eleven-thirty, and […]
In which I’m not very good at this stuff. My aunt is in town and offered to take us out to dinner tonight. I picked the restaurant closest to her hotel and it turned out to be kind of expensive, so I thought, hell, I never leave the house, and we’re going somewhere nice. Maybe […]
In which I tell you how it felt to run medium-distance sprints as a tween. I have never enjoyed exercise. I remember being in junior high school on the track team. Sucked at sprinting, sucked at distance, so they put me on the 200 meter. It was miserable. I could not figure out what in […]
In which I deleted them, because fuck it, amirite? I live in Minneapolis. People get shot and killed by cops here. The other day, a white woman got shot and killed by a black cop. The mayor’s tweeted concern and calls to action several times since. Out of curiosity I did a couple of searches, […]
In which I’m so lazy I can’t even relax properly. Thought I’d do some relaxing and fun Sunday afternoon painting, but after a few minutes of doodling I got distracted by nothing and abandoned it. Watched TV. Scrolled social media. Ate a bunch. Drank coffee. Organized some of the crap at my desk. Ah, Sunday!
In which there’s white trash refined carbs! There are a lot of ways to make macaroni and cheese. Most of them are stupid, if you’re tryna get a meal on the table and not fuck with getting a bunch of extra dishes dirty, because they want you to do shit like make white sauces and […]
In which there’s travel! We went to New Hampshire! In a plane! We stayed in a hotel! This was the view! I wrote about it in my traveler’s notebook! Amma’s programs were in another hotel, so I had to walk back and forth twice a day! My Google Fit app told me I walked over […]
In which I think about what an asshole I’ve always been, even to myself. I’ve turned into very nearly everything for which I have ever felt contempt. Here are some examples: Fat? Check. Pampered and lazy, with a litany of psychosomatic, social, and political complaints anyway? Check. Reaches a certain age and, unoriginally, watches English […]
