Two unrelated posts, all wrapped up in one...

1) I've been trying to eat less meat lately. I think I feel better for it. People say that vegetarians have health problems, but I don't think it's true. I think only people with an unbalanced diet have health problems.

2) Had a really weird dream last night. One of the Suicide Girls had invited me over;...

Rock 'n roll weekend. Cooking. Yardwork. House cleaning. Grocery shopping.

I used to rock.

Paraphrasing my friend Arnie; the perils of doing yardwork in the desert are:
1) Hundred-degree or hotter temperatures.
2) Sharp, spiny things that tear your skin.
3) Tough, thick branches.
4) The seeming pointlessness of it all.

Also, Scion wants me to fill out a survey about my car. That's right....

I'm learning how to cook Indian food. Maybe I'm a total lame-o, but I really enjoy cooking. Plus, Indian food is tasty. I make a decent potato-cauliflower curry.

It's good to spend time with some of your best friends, especially when they live elsewhere...

EDIT:
One of my best friends, who moved to Phoenix after she graduated, came to Tucson with her boyfriend last night. I got pizza with them. It was fun but now I'm cleaning the house.

UNRELATED EDIT:
Have you ever done something and then so very many conversations in your life revolve around it simultaneously?...

Ok, so no more boozing posts for a while, I promise...

A funny exchange from last night:

ME: So I finally caved and got a subscription to SuicideGirls.com. And you know what? I'm regretting not having done it years ago, when I first thought about it.

FRIEND: I can't believe it. You're a sucker.

ME: Why?

FRIEND: All the girls on there want to be...

Too much beer again tonight. That's how it goes sometimes.

Time for sleep again. It's all I do these days. I'm ok with that.

Actually, I played Diablo 2 tonight before bed. I accomplished something!

As I anticipated, small crowd.

Oddly, last night, I slept far, far better than I have in weeks.

I'm going to see Richard Buckner in Tucson tonight. I don't expect a huge crowd on a Monday.

There are some perks to living in a place no one cares about.
