i added a new shortcut.

yesterday, i hit up the food pyramid. meat and beans, it tells me, is seriously lacking in my diet. and too much salt. apparently, i eat more vegetables than most of the known world. the problem i'm having now is i want to go back to the food pyramid and show it how good i really can be. which sort of feels like a relationship, doesn't it? like i'm begging the food pyramid to take me back, please take me back, i know i got a neutral face on my milk intake, but i'll do better next time! i promise, baby!

i can only imagine what this is like for others, unnamed others, who are already embroiled in a steamy, long-term, forever-and-ever-amen relationship with the "pyr."

tomorrow marks another beginning, as i start back up the endless toil towards making professors happy. i will pack up this here computer like i always do, put it in its nice carrying case, trudge across the street to the coffee shop, order a double latte with extra gasoline, and settling in for a nice afternoon of running searches, filling in boxes, and frowning for three hours. it's an honor, they say, so i try not to knock it. but. i mean. come on.

anything that gets me where i want to go though, i suppose. i was told i need a long-term plan by one of those lawyerly types. you know those types. he told me it was a good start to want to be a pro-see-cute-or. and then he said, "after that?" and i said "complete burnout, in which i re-evaluate the human race and my desire to be any part of it, and then walk dogs for a living?"

laugh. i can always get the laugh.
