It's Friday! and Vegan Woes

And  I am home doing nothing...except relaxing and maybe I will finish up some hw. Well, not maybe. I'm going to do a little yoga and 100 squats and an hour of rebounding. Sigh.

Beyond Meat's Beast Burger is available at my job. And the Daiya Gouda block is amazing. Uncle Eddie still has the best vegan cookie. A lot of people are loving Chao cheese, but not me. I can't remember if I had it melted though.

I've been having lots of trouble ordering vegan while I'm eating out. Servers just do not understand what vegan means or what is in their food. I am trying hard not to just only eat at home again. Sadly, at least I know my food will be 100% vegan if I do. I've tried explaining what vegan means and then they tell me they know and then they don't really.

I've joined some vegan facebook groups. It's been helping when I feel like I can't vent about the things I care about.

I can't wait to try Happy Chicks Bakery for lunch. Another all vegan restaurant?! I am so stoked.

Being Healthy in School

My school life is too busy. I can't wait for summer.
Right now I am drinking a green smoothie in the morning, trying to eat fruit (dates and figs mostly), and eating rice/steamed veggies or Cilantro's vegan soup(Pho).
I've been running on Saturday for at least 1 and a half hours.
Physics has been really interesting. All the math I've learned is coming into play to explain quantum mechanics.

I'm thinking about using Red Bike to ride home from school. To get some extra exercise.
I gotta cut down my coffee. One day last week I tried to go without and I had the worst head ache and couldn't do any homework.

Sigh. I gotta go to bed.

Using Shredded Paper as Cat Litter

It didn't work for me!

Actually, my less picky cat was fine. He's just fluffy so he would take a lot of the paper with him and I'm not sure if the poopy clumps on my kitchen bench were from my short-haired cat or Jared.

But this morning Bilf (short-haired cat) shat behind my television! Aaaah! He usually poops in the bath tub when he's upset with the litter situation. So I know it was really bad. Anyway, back to litter.
It just costs me more money because I try to only shop local, but it's totally worth it. The shredded paper still works for my mouse though so that saves me $16 a month.

My poor Jared is also puking a lot. And he puked in front of my tv. What a day. I learned he cannot eat so much wet food at one time. He eats too fast.

Yes, my cats are so sexy with their bodily functions.

I'm glad this happened though because it's forcing me to winter clean. I can't let my cats in my room without me because I have a couple of cluttered spaces and I think these are their favorite places to do nasty things (because they feel hidden?).

"Oculus" Review

I give this 2014 movie an 11. It was super creepy and scary. The premise was completely original except for the disorientation part which I don't usually LOVE, but I liked how it switched back and forth between the past and the present. What really would have made it a 12 would have been if they got their revenge, but hey, it's a scary movie.

"Nightbreed" Review

This movie is from 1990 by Clive Barker. It was pretty good. I'm making my scale from 1-12, 12 being the best. I give this movie a 9. The weaving of serial killer meets destined hero meets breed of super creeps of the night who are actually "good" was intriguing.

The main character had a crazy big, elongated face which was kinda cool because I wonder if he was cast because it would be easier to change his make-up to creepy.

I definitely recommend this movie.

Mexican Exam Madness

WOTD is ensorcell.

Vegan Creepmas and Mac

One more week of exams and then I'm done. Yes! My health has been downhill. I haven't been exercising at all. I have been trying to drink green smoothies though. My sweet Bakersfield got me a green juice today. But I've been eating whatever I want. Which is kind of ok because I would like to start the Raw til 4 lifestyle. Sort of. And for that I don't want to gain weight. And I eat 2000+ calories now so I probably wouldn't see a difference in weight. It really turns me off to think I could totally super clean and healthy and gain weight. I might change my mind about how concerned I am with weight, but oh, well for now.

 

 

Here's my cats. Bilf is all over Jared. Jared doesn't care.

 

My friend Robin!

 

So after exams I plan to participate in some Creepmas activities like halloweenizing some xmas stuff.

 

My healthy meal (not) of Earth Balance Cheddar Mac and Tofurky BBQ Chkn Pockets. Mmmm. Good thing I had a 16 oz green juice today. That was about 1000 calories (!).

 

 

My favorite cookies!
