Same old story

Work schedule shenanigans prevent me from doing an in-depth post about ‘Twilight’ or Adore and I desperately need to get to those at some point.

However, can someone please explain dudes to me. I really don’t get them. AT. ALL. OK, I should say there’s just one in particular that stumps me. Otherwise known simply as The Boy, he’s well-known with my two besties. And they both think he’s an asshole. Yeah, they’re probably right. Whatever.

Anyway, I’ve known this dude since mid-March. He has this habit of coming around to play and then disappearing. I haven’t heard from him in weeks, then at about 8:30ish this morning I hear a rapping on my window. WTF, I say. No one wakes me up at that hour. Even Mom’s learned not to do that. Lo and behold, it’s The Boy. We hook up, he makes plans for later in the day, like an idiot I plan my day around it and now I’m sitting here waiting for a text message that’s not going to come. Yes, this is one of many proud moments where The Boy is concerned.

So to drown my confusion (and, I’ll admit it, sorrows), I’m baking. And it’s not going over so well. Instead of tofu as an egg replacer, I used ground flax seeds. This was a bad idea. I think I’m just going to break down and buy that damn egg replacer every vegan site I go to raves about. I can find a use for the flax seeds and tofu I guess.

However, I did have a fun food find today. Success 10-minute brown rice in portabello flavor. So friggin’ good. Probably unhealthier than I care to admit, but whatever. I miss rice. Weight Watchers has some evil vendetta against rice, but I love the shit. I also bought some whole wheat pasta today and as soon as I order some nutritional yeast, I’m going to try out this mac and cheese recipe I found.

Then to add to the fun and adventure, I dropped one of my roommate’s bowls as I was unloading the dishwasher and one of the shards gigged me good. Little bastard cut my hand in four places. I am unamused. I also burnt my hand taking my last batch of cookies out of the oven. I am a walking comedy of errors. Oh, and I haven’t done my laundry yet, and I don’t have a stitch of clean clothes. Yup, I’m killing ‘em today.

I was supposed to work out today, which I haven’t done in WEEKS, but considering it’s a quarter til 9 and I still have laundry to do, I don’t think it’s gonna happen.

It hasn’t all been bad though. I finally gave in to the siren call of Flyleaf and downloaded ‘All Around Me.’ I saw them live at Memphis in May and was kinda ambivalent about them until the end of their set when the singer decided to start getting preachy. I hate that shit. I don’t often get all ‘Shut up and sing!’ but I don’t like being preached at. But the radio stations around here kept playing the shit out of that song so I finally surrendered.

I also listened all the way through Blaqk Audio’s album again. God, it is fucking great. I really have to be in the mood for electronic music, even if it is boys from AFI. Today, I was apparently in the mood. ‘Again, Again and Again’ might very well have unseated ‘Where Would You Like Them Left?’ as my favorite off the record. It’d be a great motivator to exercise if I still had the will.

As far as exercise goes, I’m just bored to death with the treadmill and the elliptical does horrible things to my muscles. I’ve tried the DDR, but I suck at it so I’ll be at it for about five minutes before I get pissed off and give up. I’m seriously looking into this Wii Fit thing. But I don’t want to drop $90 on something for it to end up like DDR and Guitar Hero (which I’ve only played with twice since I bought it; I’m really a terrible person).
