Trying out 20 - 40 minutes of Meditation a day

 I'll be trying out meditation everyday tracking how it goes. 

What I ate- Monday & Friday dinner

Friday we ate at Lalo. Mexi-Bibimbap and Mexi-Pad Thai. Subbed out eggs for avocado on both. The new location was nice and we sat in the big open window spot in the front.

 Today I was super full from yesterday! I didn't eat until 4pm!

Coffee with silk caramel creamer. Seltzer with diet sprite drops.

I ate with my friend Dora. 

Grilled cheese with simple truth pepper jack and pumfu sausage crumbles, homemade potato salad, and some tomato soup.

Then a chocolate covered oreo.

Then african peanut stew served over white rice with green peas and some red lentils. Just one bowl.

Then I ate the head off my chocolate bunny from chocolat latours.

And a black tea from Churchills called "Moscow Nights" with Silk caramel creamer. 

Uff. Good night.

What I ate today - Sunday Funday

 Stressed. Hanging in there. 

Breakfast: Just egg folded egg, coffee with silk caramel almond creamer, fried potatoes w/ onion, bell pepper and mushrooms, pumfu sausage crumbles, half a slice of white bread, couple bites of potato salad, lots of ketchup

Lunch: Coffee with soymilk with rachel <3 at coffee emporium, half of CE vegan brownie. Was so good and moist, haven't had one in forever.

Dinner: Taquiera Mercado-- small burrito no cheese no sour cream add avocado, lots of tortilla chips and salsa, house margarita split with Steven because it was a little too strong and too sweet! (I was craving one all week.ha did not hit the spot) 

Some cigs, not much exercise. Shaved my legs.

I haven't been reading much for years! I can't even call myself a vocabularian. I've been working and working on my masters thesis. So I could share some physics words like plasmon and magnetoresistance. A plasmon is a plasma oscillation. Plasmonics are electronics that use plasmons. 

I've been thinking about picking up German again. It just seems important to me that I know another language. I think I was too self-conscious before about not being perfect. 

I was planning on skating this week but got worried since I realized it could be packed even with limited numbers. I'll wait a couple of weeks. I don't get vaccinated until Saturday. Ugh. Sucks scrolling through fb and people knowing how stressed everyone is and then shaming everyone. I get it. We all want to get of this. There's probably so many opinions on this and it's exhausting. I thought I would blog to relieve some stress and keep stock of what I've been eating. I haven't been exercising and eating as healthy as I wanted. Once quarantine started, buying more fun foods was making me happy.

Actually, I found a word I liked from Vonnegut's "Hocus Pocus" but I forgot it. I found "crurifragium" though. Which means breaking the lower leg bones during crucifixion. Terrible. I'm reading "Cat's Cradle" now. 

Ok, goodnight.

                  

Review of Nice Knees- "Falling into Sand"

I'm free-bleeding on my fake oriental rug while my foot falls asleep listening to this new band. Or maybe it's just one person.

Do you know what it feels like to miss your past so much but realize you could never go back? Because you're too different. It wouldn't be the same.

Nice Knees is the kind of music I fawn over. It gives me more of a feeling I try to tap into. It makes me feel like the depravity of the commercialism ridden 90s and idyllic summers of my teen years before social media and internet made it different. It's like I know I'm going to die and everything sucks and not everything is safe but it's ok. I'm going to love myself and live my life while I have it.

This EP is called "Falling into Sand". "Sss" track is on repeat for me. The oscillating beats of "Yeah/Uh" bounces me back and forth on light waves.

Find this on bandcamp.

I made that zine btw

making short posts to guide the way to better posts. My Chromebook keyboard crapped out making it not fun to type on. Blah
