Bleah, root canals. I'm all blah and low-energy today. I have great cooking plans (peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies and a batch of lentils), but really all I want to do is crash.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ugh, root canal. I say Crash. Cookies can wait!
Cookies will always be there for you, Consuela.
I'd be much worse off without Buffistas. This is the place I can talk about stuff and I know someone will listen and understand. I don't really have that anywhere else.
That sounds mean, I guess. I do have my sister and my BFF, but they have their own sh!t going on. It's not always easy to get my sis to listen. And G has so much to deal with in her life, I don't always want to demand more of her emotional energy to deal with my moods. Her life is so much harder than mine, I feel petty complaining to her.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I feel the same way. I'm so fucking lucky to have my Buffistas.

Because of certain talk on this board, I had a big takeout scarf of Indian last night. The butter chicken was okay, but the beef Madras was really spicy. I think channa masala is my favourite Indian dish. And naan.
Steph, you would have loved the butter chicken because they filled that container with sauce.

I am also having Indian food tonight because of Buffistas. And I am a hypochondriac who is beginning to think I have ADD, too. And man, was I inattentive in kindergarten and first grade, but somehow I snapped out of it and got good at school? But I feel like I am falling apart as a 40 something. Like, if I had kids or a relationship or anything, I could not do it. I just whirlwind cleaned my house for a rental inspection, and I somehow thought I would not be doing that any longer when I was a real grown up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Zen, there was something on Tumblr about language to use for a chronic illness to get doctors to take you seriously, and I believe the magic phrase was something like "It's affecting my ability to work/concentrate/enjoy my life/interact with my family", or whatever.
Yeah -- "The pain is affecting my ability to do my job" is usually what works for me, when I need it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I ate a normal amount at the 50th anniversary party cookout I was just at.... and then I could not stop shoving cookies in my piehole. WTF.

I ended up napping for an hour and then making cookies, while listening to my new favorite podcast: Science versus.... This episode was on Science versus Organic food, which was great. The premise is that this highly-cheerful Australian woman investigates the actual science behind various issues, like gun control, fracking, and organic food.
Turns out there isn't a ton of science supporting the individual health benefits of organic food. Which justifies me in my reluctance to spend $2.49 for a bunch of kale that costs under a dollar for the regular version.
And now I have a pile of peanut butter cookies, oh no.
