I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Trader Joe's, btw, has Hollandaise sauce in a jar. So I don't need to try making it again for a bit.

What. my extensive knowledge of their selections good for wine night or my *sigh* lovely days in Spain?

Discovered I don't have a copy of A Brief History of Time. Must be at my parents'. Was looking for it for my neighbor's 9 year old (!!!) Yeah, he could handle it. But if he ever wants to do bios on women in science, I'm his girl. (Or anything on the Balkans. Or genocide and the philosophies of war and humanitarianism.) Have shelves of it. Perusing those beloved titles made me realize I'd actually burnt out on it. I found myself grabbing titles, remembering passages and then being hit with this tiredness. I wonder at the people who can stay in it. I once wanted to be them. The stuff in the Ukraine is dredging up my Soviet brain stuff, I'm finishing sentences for the commentators on npr, usually sarcastically. Some things just don't change. Ah, Crimea. Anyway, odd night.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You are a good brain (thanks autocorrect) to have on tap, sara.

Refrigerated one in a tub? It's tasty. I am not allowed to buy it often. I'd eat it.

That's the one. I'm excited to try it.

Bit of both, but more Spain.

It's an odd brain.

Also, latino/a lit features heavily on my shelves. Largely SW US, but also Allende and Mexico. I need to reorg my shelves. I once had a system, possibly opaque except to me, but shelving issues means it is a bit mixed up. I have my version of travel mixed with adventure and MidEast nonfic and fic and I like to keep my angsty modern AmLit in another section and...

Bah. I cooked up all the remaining tortellini in the house and ate it. Woops. But it's pasta, so yummy and filling.

Mmm, tortellini.

I want tortellini! I had the dregs of the grocery store macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight. So unfulfilling. But, student drama, so oh well, that's all I could manage.

After all the exotic stuff I bought, I had 2 oz of macadamia nuts and part of a chocolate bar for dinner, because that was easiest. And yummy.

Downton Abbey sure does nice Christmas Specials.

I got to my destination, went to Whole Foods, and suddenly my tummy revolted. Boo. Decided not to work out and just take some pepto (yay my varied pill case?) and chill. Though I'm wondering if it was because my nose is kinda running. Which had BETTER not signal I'm getting sick again. I'm drinking EmergenC and bought Ricola.
