Christ, that is a wall of Japanese that I should translate later today. Or tomorrow. Eek.

So, after the cat pee incident and the Schroedinger's Website incident and the corporations are lying fucktards incident, the day is starting to go better. The widget did not lie to me, I found out that we now can, in fact, do redirects easily. The extra lunch stuff came, and my god that is an eyeblinding, pull your eyeballs out and scream down the sockets lime. I managed to get Japanese posted, my little digital dragons didn't die, or some of them didn't, which would be about the equivalent of my goldfish dying that one day from hell. We finally, finally got rid of the old bitch of a car, my Ford. A '93 Ford whose transmission was being held together by tacky transmission fluid and the grace of the Goddess. It's being donated to the something veteran's something something, why can I never remember that damn name. Boy's choice, I like it. I like doing shit to help my veterans.

I'm actually more back into the writing groove than I thought I would be, given a chance for a quiet day at work. I like this, this makes me feel good. I also, at some point, should post a ramble on the virtues of the Courtesan and shit like that, but that's definitely a ramble for another day. Suffice to say that, right now, my Timing needs work, but I feel I've also been building my Grace and my Brilliance. And at some point this week there needs to be some time devoted to Joie before Cheek takes more than its fair share.

(See why this all needs explained?)

I need a personal trainer. Or someone to tell me why it feels like half the fat in my body is detaching from the rest of my body and jiggling in annoying places. I'm not gaining weight, I know what gaining weight looks like and it doesn't look like my jeans being slightly looser from one week to the next, I just am apparently not gaining any muscle tone whatsoever. Or if I do it's all being hidden in my loose fat doing a happy little dance around my body. Words cannot describe how irritating this is.

Note: For the record, I am choosing to disbelieve that this has anything to do with me not exercising for a week due to plague. This is my fantasy world where my body does what I tell it to and if it doesn't, that's because it's evil. Shaddup.

Oogh. Right. Organization needs to happen. We need to figure out something to do about the TV, now that we've done something about the car. I am... really liking this whole bento, thing. Oh! That was the other thing I meant to do. Pay no attention to the text behind the curtain.

Bento Ideas Transcribed from Laptop Lunch book )

... no, the rest of this is fruits and vegetables and that I can figure out on my own. Shrimp salad, by the way, is ew because the first couple times I had shrimp I had gross rubbery shrimp and I haven't been able to get over that since. I hear people do the same things with sushi, but I haven't been one of those, thankfully.

No, Jag, stop screwing around and do your damn Japanese.

I think what I may do at this point is look ahead or in the other book for some exercises that deal with grammar points I remember more clearly and also use the plain present form of verbs so that I can practice this. Because I'm running out of sentences and I'd really like to get the construction of this form down.

Spanish rice did NOT need to be in the big box (I'm actually finding it hard to find things that do need to be in the big box, maybe because I eat more small meals than any one big meal?) but at least it's good cold? So I can leave it on my desk and just sort of nibble. Still have a crapton of stuff to get done today, but first, some bento note-taking.

お弁当 )

What? I can write bentou in kanji if I want. :)

Right. Packing stuff in a blitz attack because after I do that then I can do writing stuff, and this is my last day to get all that done. Well, except for maybe a couple hours tomorrow, but still.

I've discovered a semi-serious problem. I'm getting bored with my bento already. Not in the overall concept but what I have in my fridge is not interesting. It needs to be more interesting. Currently the plan is to buy groceries for the week of bento this weekend, and then assemble them. And then hopefully repeat for the next week! Right now, though, I'm just looking for ideas. I'm not sure how I'm going to organize these ideas, but it's worth a shot?

Bento stuff )

That was a surprisingly short shopping list. Okay! Also, if anyone else has any other suggestions for things to go in my bento, do let me know? Obviously, my enthusiasm for doing this hasn't really waned. I'm just getting a little tired of what's available to me. I do note, however, that actually it looks like I can make most of that week's meals with a little advance planning and very little throwing out of ingredients. Hopefully. We'll see if I really am as badass efficient as I think I am.

... No, yeah, still enthused about my bento. I just need more ingredients and things to put into it.

All registered for Dragon Con means I need to start contemplating my costumes. I will go as Silk Spectre again and this time I will actually have a costume that is not ghetto! Which means there will be pictures! But I don't know what else I want to go as, on Thursday if I go in costume or Friday (or Saturday, whenever I end up going as Silk Spectre) or Sunday if I go in costume or whatever. I could always put on a bodice and jam my fairy wings down my back, but that seems so cheap. And I am not sewing myself a set of Jedi bathrobes because they're the easiest costume ever to sew, short of being a pirate. Which is only less easy because it requires a shitton of accouterments. Hmmmmmmm.

Okay. Lunch time. Actually packing time and then lunch time because, I wanted quiet? I got it. Oi.. But, better get work out of the way before I start doing other shit just in case the masses descend.

Oh. And. Heh. Nameless (another Also Me) is now offering endless commentary about how I should ask the wolf's advice on bento lunches. I keep telling him he doesn't live here. It doesn't seem to be working.

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

Bento, Day 1. Rang bell, cat fucked off... )

Bento, Day 2. Rang bell, cat ate my food. )

I'm discovering the really awesome thing about bento is that I can eat my main meal and my fruit and my dessert, and feel full. I used to, when I brought leftovers in, eat a lot more than that, but now I can pretty much just eat that and even on a fucking insane day of work, I didn't snack. I didn't run to the candy basket. I didn't nick pieces of challah or find out what tasty cookie the Lurking Bandit brought in from home today. I just drank a litre and a half of water and kept going. And then I had merienda.

(Merienda, for those of you who don't remember or in case I didn't explain before, is a Spanish word roughly meaning afternoon snack. It's like the kind of snack you give kindergarteners. I don't think there actually is a specific equivalent word in English like breakfast, lunch, etc, unless you count tea, but that's what it is.)

I do need to start putting something in there for second breakfast, some sort of fruit or something. That's how I've been eating for a while, ideally five meals a day, cereal or toast or something small first thing in the morning, second breakfast I can carry around with me when I get to work while I see what's what. Lunch, merienda, and then the biggest (relatively speaking) meal of the day is dinner. It'd be awesome if I can do all three of the at-work meals in my bento, but we'll see!

Also, this is my chip-case. Because I AM FROM THE FUTURE )

Why yes. I am easily and cheaply amused. Why do you ask.
