Mar. 23rd, 2007 09:46 pmI have been press-ganged into a book club. Not that I don't want to join (although I am, as always, completely terrified of meeting new people and what will I say and what if they think I'm a loser?), but it was just a little amusing they way it happened - basically "here's the next book for the book club and here's when we're meeting" and I was all "book club? whaaa?". It also felt weirdly secretive. The scary part is that it's one of those grown-up book clubs where everyone takes turns hosting. My apartment is TINY and STUDENT "CHIC" and these people have real adult homes.*
Today I was re-certified for first aid, which was actually fun. Our instructor was a blond gay Newfoundlander who looked like a cross between a younger Brent Carver and a younger Wallace Langham, and he talked just as fast as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vestra and was hilarious. Also, I have decided to move to Newfoundland because I adore the accent. It's true love.
And then I walked home, because it's just so unbelievably beautiful out there right now. Also, I may have had a milkshake along the way. Hey, it's a long walk, I needed the energy.
The plan for tonight was to watch more Dead Like Me, but the next disc hasn't arrived. Boo, I say! I am very much in a serial television mood these days, although I'm also considering buying a Hot Docs pass -- apparently I can get extra free tickets through work if I buy some, and there are a few movies that look really interesting, including, oh yes, a documentary about Helvetica. Yes, the typeface. Oh, baby. However, none of that is useful to me tonight, when I really just want to watch more funny Grim Reaper tales.
I wish more fresh food was available in smaller quantities. I think this is part of the problem I have with eating healthily.** For instance, I decide I'm going to have a stirfry for dinner. I buy broccoli - that's at least 2 meals worth of food, more like 4 if I buy the organic that comes bundled in twos. Asparagus - 4 meals. Tofu - 3 meals. Celery - an eternity of meals. At least mushrooms provide the opposite problem for a nice change -- I would happily always have them in my fridge, but they don't last very long. I suppose this is all fine, except that I get bored of eating the same food for dinner every night, and after 2 or 3 meals in a row I come home and can't handle stirfry again. But I don't have any other food in the house, because then that's another ridiculous 4 meals worth of food that won't stay fresh, so I eat Mini Eggs, because I can buy them at the corner store. And I guess I could buy each night's dinner on the way home, but that wouldn't solve the problem of food that comes in too large quantities. It's frustrating! And I cannot come up with a solution. I want the tiny senior's portions of vegetables that they sold at Thrifty's, as sad and lonely as that would probably make me feel. :)
*I'm assuming. But one of them has a gorgeous condo, and at least one of them has a house with a pool. A POOL, people. You could fit my entire apartment into a pool.
**This, and the fact that I'm lazy and apparently don't like being upright for long enough to chop things.
