Egg Salad

Wawa, I am disappointed.

How could you let me get this, a most bland and rubbery horror that, once I tasted it, made me instantly regret getting it? I say, I would have rather gotten a turkey sandwich, and that, for me, is saying quite a bit.

Unless it's the turkey and stuffing sandwich they have.

That's pretty good.

In any case, everyone is talking about how the economy is terrible and we're all going to be living in cardboard boxes a week from now and if we don't do something it will all be terrible!

Yeeeah.

Isn't it even more important, then, to focus on what you have right now? Then even little things will seem to be blessings; who knows, perhaps this economic crisis will actually teach some people the value of a dollar!

Or maybe we're all gonna be invaded by russia.

Which we will see.

Fall and attitudes

The air always changes in scent when it gets around autumn; the warm syrupy spring air turns to a crisp, icy tang, tinged with the scent of leaves and open skies.

It seems that whenever this time comes around, I tend to think differently, somehow; not so much how I think, but the climate of my thoughts change in a way that I can't really say, but it isn't a sad or anxious turn.

Maybe people just change with the seasons, like trees do; the outer part changes while their essence stays the same.

Have you ever just been?

It seems people are so wrapped up in their minds that they never get to USE them, and even worse feel that if they have certain thoughts, that makes them bad or something.

When people have invested themselves in the idea of gender, anyone who acts outside that expectation shows them that there are more possibilities than they had previously supposed; they'll either adapt and allow others to be, or try to put it out of mind, by whatever means necessary.

Midnight Blogging (Trannies Doo doo DOO)

It's actually 1:00 AM but hey, I just got off work!

Shaving and Nair just redouble my determination to get electrolysis; granted, it'd be painful financially and physically, but at least it'd get it done, right?

I don't even know the rates of places around here yet, and I still have to stablize my job situation before I can do anything other than research information about it; I wonder if there are any places that do it charitably?

It's getting cooler, and the trees are just beginning to show their oranges and yellows. A few are growing bald before my eyes, and the sky seems to be lit much more dramatically now that the sun sets earlier. I hear a lot of people complain about the end of summer, but really fall and winter have their own positive qualities too.

During a snowfall in the suburbs, it is the stillest I ever have seen, except for the occasional car or vehicle passing by, which just punctuates it. The sky is a uniform gray, and haze is all around, but it makes it seem otherworldly, magical somehow.

In fall, it becomes bearably cool again, and the forest seems to catch on fire with the colors, and the gaudiness of spring and summer matures into the wisdom of harvest.

Of course, once I go through winter, I am glad to see the first blades of grass return, and to feel the warmth of the sun penetrate my frozen bones.

The world comes alive again.

Chicken and Rice

It's a relatively simple dish, but also relatively easy to make, which I suppose is why it's generally included among comfort foods. With a vegetable (broccoli, in this case) to the side, it concisely provides protein, carbohydrates, and fat (Yes, you do need fat in your diet, albeit a controlled amount!)

Broccoli might not be number one on your list of favorite foods, but it contains essential nutrients that you could not live without. Similarly, the chicken has fat inside it, which tends to have a bad rap, but without it, you too would be at risk for malnutrition, or even disease; too much of either the vitamins, or the fat and carbohydrates, can cause harm as well.

It's all about balance, after all; it applies to everything in life, it seems.
