agrees with Connie.

Tom is awesome. That was a truly, truly thoughtful thing to do.

Well, I do waste a lot of time on weeknights. Although now that the days are longer, I should probably try to do some yard work on weeknights, even if it's just pruning or pulling weeds for half an hour, instead of flopping on the couch to watch Jon Stewart.

When I get home from work, all I want to do is flop, no matter how much daylight is left.

Oy. Vegan internet drama is ridiculous. There have been a whole bunch of books in the past few years advocating going vegan as a way to lose weight and get healthy, most of them also advocating no sugar, no oil, no processed foods, often no soy, no white flour, and a whole bunch of other things that these books claim will cure all your health problems and make you live until you're 120 or whatever. And now, in vegan food forums, just about any time that anyone posts a photo of delicious-looking food, it's met with a ton of, "That has tofu! Don't you know that tofu will destroy your fertility?" and "How can you possibly feed something containing SUGAR to your children?" and, my favorite, "Being vegan is about being healthy, so processed food like that is NOT vegan" comments. But I think this just hit a new level of ridic. VegNews magazine posted a photo of some vegan food they found at JazzFest -- a really yummy-looking Gambian dish with tofu and vegetables and peanut sauce, over rice. And, in addition to the usual comments about the tofu, someone posted that the vegetables look like they've been cooked until they're soft, and he only likes crispy vegetables, and therefore this photo is not at all appetizing, and they shouldn't post an unappetizing photo like that because it's not a good advertisement for veganism.

Religious orthodoxy comes in all flavors.

Mostly I just sit around, regardless of day or time.

Ah ha ha! People are ridic.

The whole "veganism will cure all your health problems!" thing really annoys me. There have been a ton of books in the past few years making that claim, all of them with a bunch of "testimonials" from people who say they became vegan and their supposedly terminal cancer disappeared. And just about all of these authors have been on Oprah promoting their books, some of them multiple times. And it's garbage, and it makes veganism look like a completely unscientific fad diet, rather than an ethical stance.

exercise
stretching
meditation
wrangling the clutter a bit in my room
and also eating more

resting before heading to my room to meditate, then wrangle. I fear I may fall asleep before that though.

Exercising everyday is gonna be HARD for my outta shape self.
