SB, day... 46, I think.

Overall, anyway. Yesterday was a really awful food day for me (no breakfast, 2 slices mushroom pizza, a coke -- I know, I know, my first real one since this started -- a banana, and a tuna melt sandwich) so I've decided that for now I'll be reviving the food diary, just to give myself a little focus and not let it become a habit.

Breakfast: 1 slice 100% whole wheat bread with a drizzle of honey (no honey's not actually allowed, but it was less than a teaspoon, so nyah), one stick of string cheese, green tea (no additions).

Morning snack: Nothing.

Lunch: Taco salad, no beans -- shredded pork, rice, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, salsa. Oh, and water. Did good on eating the salad (though I should have skipped the rice or substituted, but it was relatively small and so I ended up eating some of the tortilla bowl too.

Afternoon snack: 2/3 oz bittersweet chocolate.

Evening snack: organic cheese popcorn, water.

Dinner.... it's 10:35 and I haven't had it yet. Of course, I'm not hungry either.

I need to have more veggies. I need to have more fruit. I need to go to the grocery store really badly so that I can have more of both of the above. I also need to be having more protein, but that's a different thing (see needing more cheese and grocery store issues again). I will see what I can do about tomorrow.

Non-food update

So. Today. Not enough hours at work this week. I'm not getting enough done while I'm at home to make up for not being there, and Will is, frankly, honestly not feeling well enough to go back tomorrow. This sucks. It's going to take me months to make up all the extra time I'm needing to take off.

On the up side, had lunch with Brannon and Scott, late of MGS. His last day is tomorrow. Doing the contracter lunch thing seemed like a good plan, and it was good to see them both. I definitely need to get up to see Brannon and his boy more often.

Went to class. Left my paper at home (oops). S'okay, I got the argument about the theory essay we discussed better than more than half the class regardless, and he didn't insist on seeing the papers either. Also, my group presentation for the other class got pushed back to Tuesday through the kindness of my professor. Yay for kind professors. :)

I'm really digging my classes to an unseemly degree. I'm coming up with weird juxtapositions and branching off into things I'd like to do some research on, like:

• H. P. Lovecraft and Burke's theory of the Sublime


• How does universality apply to the online world?


• The connections between Barthes insistence on the death of the author and the way we converse online, specifically on forums and message boards, where conversations have multiple random authors and are a snapshot in time...

And let's not even get into the implications of the Romantic notion of the Picturesque on Austen's novels, or the omnipresence, even requirement, of the cult of personality throughout the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era. It's just... fun. It's good to be a student again. :)
