waitmate
So, my housemate Evan is prone to giving these hilariously rambling, seemingly unrelated movie and show synopses and one of his favorite shows back home is apparently called Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job! I think the title is enough to say a great deal about it, but T&EAS,GJ! apparently had a gag advertisement for a product called Waitmate! which allows you to sleep away the...

Just made tentative reservations for our week of travel. We’ll stay at a geodome for four nights. It’s basically a sort of pavilion thing open on one side with a porch on the lake—one of the few lakes in Uganda reputed to be without hippos, crocs, and schisto. We’ll stop back in Kagando one night, then travel on to Kampala for three nights at a sunny little hostel we really...

My boyfriend sent me this earlier today. What gets me?

Officially the worst Valentines day ever. Instead of enjoying Western food, cool weather and a bed not designed for pygmies, we are stuck at home after I developed johns stomach bug with a vengeance. Though my romantic first Valentines day married meal has involved Sprite and tufts of bread, I guess I’m more reminded of John’s love than I would have been on our much-anticipated bed and...

Hey everybody — just curious: What’s your favorite word (or one of your favorite words)?
One of my favorite words is acquiesce. It means to accept, comply, give in to, etc.
If any of you folks reblog w/ your favorite word, please include a definition; I’m in a learning mood.

But you can consciously work against it, it says! My mom had some serious issues with her dad and chose someone who’s pretty much the exact opposite. I think it’s worked out for her, on the whole. Don’t fear!

In a noble attempt to not try to find a clean bowl or create a clean bowl out of a not clean bowl and an attempt in cahoots with using as little energy as possible (both related to the JEA bill and my physical body), I gave heating up my black beans in the microwave in its tiny pot a go. Bad call, maybe. Luckily, I only zapped it for one minute. The kitchen filled with the smell of frying...
reason #23 God did not ordain me to be single
When left to my own defenses, I think a meal of complete and terrifying junk is sufficient. When John is around I make nice things for lunch, like lentil soup, or cheesy sausage soup, and peanut butter cookies or bread. When I am alone, I make up this thing:
The Astronaut Special (or, extremely bastardized corned beef hash)
one serving instant mashed potatoes (with requisite water)
one generous...

I dunno, I just feel sort of uneasy about the Kindle because I might go blind from constantly staring at a screen (my cellphone screen, TV, laptop…) And shit, what if it ran out of batteries in the middle of my day?!
lol @ comparing something as useless as a Kindle to something as useful as an iPod. I can carry around 120gigs of media in my purse with the...
