Dear Diary

[Cooking]
I have long been in search for healthy food to eat that doesn't go bad. In this paragraph, healthy food means actual vegetables and other things that grow, as opposed to food inside packaging with moderately bold but effectively false claims about healthiness. My first discovery was carrots: they last for weeks.

Tonight I discovered that you can cut up a red pepper and dump it into the pasta while it is cooking and when it has three minutes left. The three minutes was an accident, as I meant to dump them in when I started the pasta, but forgot. Fortunately, three minutes in boiling water tasted like the perfect amount of time to cook a red pepper. Next time, I'll use alfredo sauce that isn't about to expire.


[Tragic Flaws]
Nothing can be done about the fact that all the wrong people know I am allergic to an undefined set of beers in some way that I don't understand and hate explaining. However, something has been done about the wine problem. I mentioned to Jordan how I seemed to have recently become allergic to wine (not actually allergic, but actually asthmatic, but don't even get me started on that because I'll start ranting about the first Dollhouse episode I watched) since moving here, and how I wasn't allergic to it at first. Ever the wine connoisseur, Jordan suggested I try some foreign wines because of something about sulfates babysitting all those rowdy wine molecules during shipping. Turns out, he was right. I don't know what wine I had with dinner tonight, but it was white and $11 and tasted delicious.


[Plans]
The legal drinking age in Canada is 19. I probably shouldn't open with that sentence. Nonetheless, the next big trip is Vancouver. Why Vancouver? Because it is technically a foreign city and I can go there without using vacation days and Luke says there are more girls there than Seattle.

Also, I think I finally figured out a way to start having fun parties at my place that won't be awkward even if only like 4 people come: Mario Kart. Everybody loves mario kart, and it is one of the few videogames that girls like. Also, we could probably make a drinking game out of it. Like, you have to drink every time somebody wipes out. Now the only question is, should I pony up for a wii or just get an old N64? I am one of those people that likes to whine about how newer games aren't as good anymore, but I don't just whine about it: I regularly play videogames from the 90s. Like Duke Nukem 3D. Man, I wonder if there is any way someone could finish Duke Forever....


[The Fourth Section]
There really isn't anything else in my life even worth mentioning. I just thought this post needed a fourth section. To balance it out. I like Legos. And I cleaned my bathroom mirror today. Today is a monday. I don't like mondays. Have you ever had a case of the mondays? I believe you get your ass kicked for saying something like that. I filled out an "anonymous" survey about what I think of my manager today, but if he sees my answers verbatim, I'm pretty sure the satire will render their authorship unmistakeable. Yeah, I'm on call tonight. I am bored.
