Day 335- More Chips

So I totally shouldn't have, but I bought more chips yesterday and nommed them. I nommed them a lot. Not the best diet, but I'll start making up for that today/ tomorrow. I know I *should* eat the healthy stuff every day. I know that I *could* buy a whole bunch of yummy tasty food for the price of a bag of chips.

I just don't *wanna*.

Meanwhile, I've been cruising foodgawker and came across a shiny new blog to chase. All because of some tasty looking palak paneer. Not *really* a budget recipe, but you can almost definitely swap out the paneer for firm silken tofu (the stuff in the aseptic pack, like those pomi tomatoes) without *too* much change in flavor. Just salt it first, eh?

Now, back to napping and serenit-... er, work. Yeah, that's it. Work.

Day 332- Accidentally Work Free Day

Yesterday. It was going to be a day of work, and maybe cooking.

Instead I had noodles, leftover bean salad (all gone now) and tea.

And I watched the Vin Diesel Live chat-thing. Fell asleep before (I think) it was totally over, but that was a good 3 hours in. Just a "normal" guy chatting randomly over the internet. Sort of...

Now, today, I *really* need to get some work done. And some cooking. I don't think I can eat noodles and nothing else much longer. Back to oatmeal, I guess. And Saturday, I think, A bag of chips.

Also, *still* watching Boys Over Flowers. I think I put less time into leveling my first WoW toon than it's taking to watch this show.

Day 330- Geek TV

Turns out that flurries count as a blizzard down here. Everything in all of Charleston seems to have been closed yesterday. Wimps.

Anyway, that meant that my 2 hours of appointments were cancelled. And while I might rather have known they were canceled before I wasted a gallon of gas trying to get to them, it turned out pretty good.

You see, I used the money I was going to spend at my appointments (all $4 of it) to pick up a bag of tortilla chips and a tomato. Once I got the cashier to weigh the tomato without the chips on the scale things went much better. (quote: "guess I would have noticed that if I ate tomatoes." Since when do you need to eat tomatoes to know that anything *on the scale* gets weighted... grrr) Then I made black bean salad (black beans, tomato, 1/4 onion, avocado, oil, vinegar, salt) and watched bad TV all day.

Ok, actually I started the night before, but close enough, right?

Anyway, I was watching Boys Before Flowers (IMDB, Amazon), which is a South Korean adaptation of a Japanese Manga. And while live action is no substitute for the real thing (hello LA sailor moon), it has *real live* attractive boys. Some of them are even old enough that I don't feel letchy looking at them. Most of them are 20-25 though.

Still, better than thinking "gee, if that were a real guy (you know, not animated...), and he were old enough to drink in this country, I'd totally kidnap him and use him for his body." Which is just a little weird, right?

Best part is, I've got a friend over in S. Korea teaching English. She told me that next I should watch You're Beautiful. I guess all the teenage girls over there went crazy for it. Ooh, found it on Hulu, even. Win!

Wait, what? I'm supposed to work? That's just crazy talk.

Public geeking is over. Move along.
