In which it’s a lazy Sunday. It’s so shitty outside there’s a heat warning on! Stay inside, stay hydrated, check on your neighbors, that sort of thing! Temperature in the mid-90’s with a heat index of one hundred degrees! A big-ass line of storms tonight! Large hail possible! So I’m staying inside with the A/C […]
In which IT WAS BASICALLY QUICKSAND. Yesterday, I stepped into wet concrete. I’d walked to Las Geel (the Somalian bodega on the corner) and seen the cement truck and guys pouring the stuff right in front of the store. I went in, shopped, paid, and exited. I carefully skirted the fresh section of sidewalk and […]
In which there’s a diary entry. Yesterday I was messing about on YouTube in order to watch videos of Amma bhajans; I found Breakfast Lunch and Dinner and ended up watching all three episodes because HOW COOL IS THAT SHIT. It led me to the diary of Samuel Pepys and awakened in me the desire […]
In which there was a long-ass road trip for both of us, some hotel lounging for him, and some much-needed spiritual renewal for me. Tuesday we slept in and then packed and drove to St. Charles, IL. It took forever, or about six hours. Checked into our hotel and slept. I was so excited to […]
In which Scott came home for lunch and told me it’s now confirmed that we can actually move this weekend. Today: pack. Tomorrow: pack. The day after: pack and clean. Saturday: MOVE. RENT A TRUCK AND MOVE TO UPTOWN. Sunday: unpack. Monday: unpack. Tuesday: drive to Chicago for a 3-day Amma program. I blew off […]
[NOTE: I wrote this garbage years ago. It was a stage in my development as I learned to understand something I didn’t. I’m now ashamed of most of it, but I choose not to delete it because it’s proof that people can and do grow and change over time. So if someone you know still […]
In which many exciting changes — a move, a job change, and not one but two opportunities for travel — are afoot! The lease is up here, and while this apartment has some incredible amenities — such as southern exposure, a gas range, amazing cross-ventilation, and a wonderful view of a park with a pond […]
In which I rode my bike to work, and four-and-a-quarter hours later I rode it home again. My apartment is technically only six blocks from work; it’s just that they’re such gigantic, industrial blocks that those six blocks actually equal 1.2 miles. (A mile usually contains 17 typical city blocks, that’s how big these blocks […]
In which I’ve been tracking what I eat. According to the BMR Calculator, to maintain my weight I should be eating 1,920 calories per day. To lose a pound a week, it should be 1,420. Out of curiosity, without doing any kind of dieting except avoiding white bread, I tracked what I ate this week. […]
In which there’s a process more than a recipe. A pudla [ pooda, poodla, puda, chila, cheela, chilla ] is a savory pancake made from lentils, rice, and/or flour. They’re cheap, easy, delicious, and I think it’s weird that I’d never even heard of them until last year. (Apparently they’re a breakfast food in India, […]
