Most Delicious Salad

Turkey (Honey-Roasted from Costco), raisins, cinnamon, balsmaic vinegar and kale stalks (save the actual leaves for kale chips!). Let the raisins soak up some of the vinegar before gorging.

It tastes about exactly as it sounds, so if you don't like the ingredients or think they don't belong together-- well, I can't help you. Go pour some mayonnaise on your bland taste! 

I feel so high class, drinking water out of a wine glass.

Have not been productive at all today. At least not in the traditional sense.

Productivity depends on the end goal, n'est-ce pas?

My end goal was to have all of my assignments done tonight so that I could get a good night's sleep and wake up early tomorrow, ready to face my laundry list of destinations.

Instead I did a different kind of laundry. The real kind. And cooked (sweet potato fries, kale chips and more kale chips), cleaned, and frogged around en ligne. I had my heart broken over cancer stories. I became depressed over my lack of romantic affairs. And I wondered if I'd ever get married, be skinny or have a job.

This wasn't the kind of productivity I intended, but I suppose I cannot un-live the day. I must march forth-- and maybe accomplish at least one tangible thing!

"If only I could sue my body for breach of contract with the natural order of things."

I've been reading a lot about cancer today.

From this series about a 22-year old woman who returns from Paris only to find out she has leukemia

to bawling over this video, which shows Josh Ritter's girlfriend and her former husband.

Life is so transient. And unexpected. Maybe being alone today has made me extra sensitive-- I feel so disconnected from The Outside and in some ways I hope I don't lose this feeling, because maybe then I'll also lose appreciation.

That's all for today, folks. Not sure how much longer my derby hiatus will continue, but this urge to blog has persisted.

Love and derby smooches,

Why, hello there!

I've relocated to a big city and become big stuff.

Well, I do enjoy pretending I'm a local. Anyway I'll be here for the rest of the month and then possibly returning to derby, or possibly returning to the fatherland. I really don't know much about my future and certainly don't understand a lot of my present.

I'll get back to you with more vague thoughts directly. Until, enjoy...
