Apollymi

Well, you know what they say: another day, another donut. Dime? No, donut. That's a lot better anyway.

I seem to have caught some sort of mild stomach bug (yet again), so I have been frightfully unproductive today. Mostly, it's just been trying to nap, trying to stop shaking, and trying not to be ill. I still need to do my homework reading, but I can't do anything with the memo part of it until I can get my hands on an ad of some sort. At least it isn't due until Tuesday.

Mum sends me some of the weirdest forwards ever. It can be anything from a video of a dog doing its best impression of a cadaver on national TV to the latest: there was a crash in Roswell and 9 months later these people were born (all Democrats) with a coda of 'this is what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses -- no wonder they support the bill for illegal aliens". How big of an eyeroll can I insert here? Yes, my family is staunchly conservative; I, on the other hand, have things I am conservative about but more things I'm liberal about. I find it's better to be more balanced. And that's probably the most political you will ever hear/see me say anything about. I hate politics. I don't talk about them, and I hate hearing/seeing them talked about.

There is grey, black, white, and orange kitty fur all over my keyboard. Roo was engaging in his daily love-love. Aya, had to take a nap on me earlier. And Boo, surprisingly enough, came and got my desk to try to steal some macaroni and cheese -- or rather the cheese. The little girl is obsessed with cheese.

I did a little wikabout again today. I started off on the entry for Hulk Versus, trying to find out how big a role Deadpool plays in it -- and somehow ended up on the entry for Wonder Years, without using the search button. Somehow that was all clicking links within articles.

I've been debating on renting a storage room at a storage facility to get some of these boxes out of the way since we have no real room otherwise. It's not like we really have all that much that would need to be stored. We just don't have that space under the stairs to stash stuff anymore.

I'm to wake katsuko up at 6:00 from her nap. Really, I could use one of those as well, but I'm holding off. See if maybe I feel better once I've eaten something else. But honestly, I know I have Kashmir Spinach I bought at New Leaf for tonight's dinner, and I have the feeling it will not be any further assistance to my stomach. Maybe I'll just make some spaghetti sauce and we can eat those pizza rolls from Dante's for dinner. You may scoff, but those things are FILLING. Or more miso. Miso is good... even if the New Leaf kind isn't as good as the stuff from Mike's Oriental Market. I swear: I'm just going to start using AsianFoodGrocer.com or something to get the ingredients I use. Mike's closes too early in the day, and New Leaf's aren't comparable -- and they charge an arm and half a leg for wakame. Any recommendations for an online store where I can get a good brand of miso paste, wakame, and hon tsuyu for a decent price?

(You see, for my miso paste, I usually use either Maruman or Honzukuri brand miso paste, usually Honzukuri. I mean, at least generally they're produced in Japan! What I get at New Leaf, though, is Cold Mountain brand, out of California. The flavoring, though... It lacks.)

One of these days, I'm going to lose my temper at the people who love driving slow up and down our road with the stereos blaring so loudly that their bass systems rattle what's inside my house. Tallahassee has a zero tolerance noise policy; you screw up and be too loud once, and TPD comes to visit you.

Okay, this is getting a bit long. Maybe I'll just order some Chinese or go pick up some fast food for dinner, and then I'll settle in to do the reading part of my homework -- then write. This new project isn't going to write itself, and I have big plans for it, depending on how porny I can get it. It probably won't be much, so I probably will self-published it instead of trying to pitch it to Loose Id or some of the other similar houses. Oh, the ideas I have... Now to find time.

So tomorrow's Saturday (AT LAST!), and katsuko and I are planning to go out and buy stuff. Actually, more specifically, we're planning to drive over to the outlet mall in Graceville (which, it turns out, is in Florida after all). We're going to go through the Corelle flatware store, the Vanity Fair/Wrangler/Lee outlet, and a few others -- and lunch at Dante's Pizza. It'll just be nice to get out of Tallahassee for a while, you know?

After that, we'll make the drive home and do homework. I have reading and another memo to do.

And now to go figure out what I have left to spend. It won't be enough, that much I already know.
