Food yesterday¹:

What I ate: 1 vitamin water (defense flavour), 1 small bag of potato chips, 3 fruit roll-ups, 8 mini chicken tacos with salsa, 10 mini gluten-free turkey basil meatballs with marinara sauce, 2 slices of swiss cheese, several handfuls of chocolate covered pomegranate jelly candy, 2 glasses of apple raspberry juice.

Reactions: This is a bit less than I normally eat. If I have those tacos for lunch, I usually have 9, but I didn't feel like opening a new box. Also, I usually snack a lot more after dinner, but went to bed early. The fruit roll-ups are new, and I am addicted. For me, shockingly, this was a low sugar day.

On the subway this morning, discussing my university:

Patty: "He says it's really different from when you where there."
Me: "Yeah, it's all liberal and dykes with shaved heads now."
Patty: "Did you just say 'dinosaur shaped eggs?'"
Me: "No, I said 'dykes with shaved heads.'"
Patty: "Oh, that makes more sense. I mean, you like dinos, so...."
Me: "I like dykes too."
Patty: "True, true. I just thought it might be a new fandom expression for, you know, WOW or something."
Me: "We can make it one, if you want."

We have met the enemy and it is PowerPoint. I've worked at a lot of companies over the years that have banned PowerPoint for the very reasons cited here.

Blogging death.

Arizona can go fuck itself.

Have finally started writing down actual words, in actual order, for the Bristol paper. Right now my poetic introduction is proving to be totally complex to write elegantly because of inside/outside (CoE takes place in September, but aired in July and both sets of dates matter intensely) timeline issues.

To the relevant parties: are any of you going to the Regency Ball in Essex on May 8?

More as it appears, but for now I need to go be constructive today.

¹ In case you missed it I'm doing a food diary for a week in response to both "OH MY GOD YOU'RE GLUTEN-FREE, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EAT? and assumptions about what my habits must be due to my size. Yes, I'm posting a food diary to show that I'm an unhealthy freak with a sugar addictionequating size and health is kinda crap.

I find it ironic that you posted a link to an article about PowerPoint in a bulleted list. *grin*

Having read that article, I appreciate even more that my company actually provides courses in Powerpoint and Presentations to anyone who wants to take them, and it's mandatory form management. :-)
