Lisa and The Beasts

Feelin very Bridget Jonesish. Telling ya'll about my food consumption and eating habits.

Listening to Crossing Muddy Waters. It was the first Hiatt concert I saw. He was solo and played at the Aladdin in Portland. I was so excited I barely remember much about it. It was November 3 or something of 2000.

So listening to JH, eating dinner (which could be a whole paper alone. i cooked and i love to cook. there is something so wholesome and wonderful about it. just because i know everyone is dying to read my philiosophy on food here goes. i believe when cooking for myself that limiting the number of items to 3 is good. for health and time. that means that i made brown basmati rice, roasted brussel sprouts (one of jinx's favorites) and cajun fried tofu (jinx prefers beef suet to tofu and raw yams to rice). sure tell me that tofu is not cajun. that is okay. because now i have a cajun seasoning and everything that isn't already cajun can be in a matter of moments.

cajun tofu is the best. i am very excited by my domestic skills. sure it was nothing extreme on the cooking end but it was something that was incredibly pleasurable to eat. i ate alone but i did let the fried chicken eating housemate sample the tofu and the brussel sprouts. he is using my cranberry juice to drink his vodka. oh, well, that means that he is not pestering me.

feeling very sleepy and thinking about spend the rest of the evening in my pajamas. it is too easy to make yourself tired here. i have done wore myself out. too many late night coffees. but today, i had no coffee. i will probably go through withdrawal (oh, don't worry, I have not quit...just giving myself a break) but I hope that this will allow me to sleep better. maybe i can convince the anole that lives in my room that i need a snuggly pet....probably getting a cold blooded animal to snuggle with is a bad idea.

I am also job hunting. Sure, I am here as long as I want to stay and can take other internships. I am not getting any younger and this is starting to feel pathetic. I just want to work for one year straight before I let myself think about grad school too much, otherwise....well i have left my options open to return to Oregon for a graduate program but being here in Louisiana is amazing. I want to stay. Tell them to keep me. I don't always eat tofu. I like the alligators.

Any advice on setting a picture in my post? Ya'll must see an anole.
