On Saturday I had a meal in a house sitting at a proper table with other people. Alex and Kat and Eric concocted an orgiastic smorgasboard of eggs and cheese and bread and everything else that is good with the world. Sarah and I were the happy guests. I think the last time I sat and ate food at a table with other people in a house was breakfast at my house just before I drove out of Vancouver to come to LA in July. Delightful.
Especially compared to the things that I constantly eat because they are easy to pack in lunches: yogurt (boring), nuts (ugh), carrots (mealy, and involves cow-like chewing), apple (never end up eating it), cliff bar (uuuuuugh). I've been eating the same lunch, give or take a few elements, for a year and a half (give or take a few summer months). I need some sort of lunch revolution in which I discover a whole new set of cheap, healthy, easy things to pack in my food sack every day. They need to invent a new vegetable that is handy and small and pre-cut and cheap. Maybe I'll starting hardboiling eggs a lot. And then have a Ramona Quimby episode.
I just played a song that I've had in my head all day (Light & Day of the Polyphonic Spree, with the video from E Sunshine of the S Mind with all of the funny things like clocks and potato people singing the words; euphoric) really loudly. Which is bad apartment karma (12:12am), but what is better than playing a song you are obsessed with really Really REALLY LOUD!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING!!!

I still eat corn and rice some days, and have been eating a variation of that lunch since grade eight when I learned about the eight essential amino acids. In university, Jade used to laugh at my lunch every day between honours lecture and seminar. (We had too much time on our hands between classes, and not enough amibition to study for two and a half hours.)
Some days I end up spending too much money on food at work because I'm so sick of my cheap eats.
Ramona Quimby!
