My contribution to this weekend’s Super Bowl party. I have never made this before, so I hope it doesn’t turn out crappy.
new workout music
My X-Bike instructor got a new CD to play during class. I thought it couldn’t get any better after I heard Madonna’s “Ray of Light” mashed up with The Cure’s “Boys Don’t Cry.”
But then, for the entire duration of our five-minute standing climb, we listened to Alanis Morissette’s “Uninvited.” Not even a techno remix. The original.

So, I think I have changed my mind about which marathon I’m going to do. This one starts in the U.S. and ends in Canada. How bitchin’ is that?!? My aunt and uncle live right near there besides, so I’ll have a place to stay, and it’s about the same time of year as the one I had planned to do.

This is actually a really smart idea. I might do this after my week of giving it up cold turkey has passed. (Twenty-four hours down! Six days to go.)

coffee.
Whenever I am really tired, drinking more coffee only makes me panicky and nauseous. It does not make me more alert whatsoever. This is something I should really keep in mind.
WHAT?
animosa:
Why are people always smiling at me? Seriously, sometimes I have days where EVERYONE looks at me and smiles. Sometimes they even grin, or say “hi.” I always wonder, “Am I dressed really oddly? Am I just funny looking? Did I accidentally pull a Quail Man? Is there something stamped on my face? Is it a full moon?”
But no. Some days people are just really, really friendly some reason. I...
Is "Queen of the Supermarket" The Worst... →
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh my goodness this is terrible.
"deam, i look good" days:
Pros:
Feeling extra-good about yourself is fun.
License to eat ginormous cheese quesadilla with extra sour cream, followed by a Girl Scout cookie dessert, sans-guilt.
Cons:
Little to no motivation to spend 30 minutes on a treadmill.
Not terribly useful on a Tuesday when I have no post-work social engagements.
Around 3:30 p.m. I decided I should stop checking Facebook, at least at work. (I might like to cut down in general for good, but I’ve said that before.)
I have already gone to type in “www.facebook.com” in my address bar three times. I have stopped myself, but gee whiz. It’s like crack.
(Or so I’d imagine. I have never done crack so I can’t say for sure.)
“But as we’ve mentioned before, what is ultimately the worst part about...”

It’s a Monday, and that means I deserve a treat.

DELICIOUS.
Rebecca claims it’s National Potato Month, and there are only a few more days in which I can celebrate. What better way than waffle fries?
Nermal woke me up early this morning, so I’m tired, and that means I deserve a treat.

Hahaha. Yeah. ‘Cause this is going to stop people from having parties and get them interested in the academic stuff that’s happening on their day without classes. Totally.

I was trying to find advice as to how to make Nermal shut the hell up while I was trying to sleep - four nights in a row, now, he’s woken me at 5 a.m. - and I found this alarming website. All the people who belong to it talk as if they are their cats. Yiiiiiikes.
facebook.
I have a friend who is always like, “Facebook is dangerous. Anyone can see what’s up there. You gotta be careful.” He detags like every photo and has basically no information in his profile.
I used to be like, “Psh, you ridiculous.”
But now, my mother has joined Facebook. And I am starting to think my friend’s method of Facebook-maintenance might be a good...
