Staying awake to keep this taste in my mouth

Comfort food is a brilliant thing. Especially at 3 in the morning.

I mean, really. Who doesn't love a good grilled cheese sandwich? Crispy yet gooey. Flavorful and not uncomfortably heavy, paired with the salty-sweet globbing of ketchup. Plus, Pooja had the ingenius idea to put garlic powder on the cheese. I have not lived up until this moment!

I am so glad to be passionate about my food.

I can't really imagine mechanically feeding myself simply to fulfill a hunger void.
To be chubby and happy, is so much better than being skinny IF eating is just a muted task. Of course skinny and eating passionately at the same time.......

Well, that's metabolism. (Dear friend from long ago.)

I have no photograph of this sandwich because it went down my throat in 30 glorious seconds flat.

Thursday Things I Like

It's kind of a cop out, but today's thing I like is sunshine and having a little time to do paint. Here's what I did today:

(This piece is still potentially unfinished. I can't make up my mind on whether or not to fill in the sunglasses, hair, and gum.)

Monday is for Motivation

Mondays are for Motivation. Counteract the gloom.

Today's motivation: London Fogs and Gen X.

I spent my morning dealing with necessary unpleasantries(sp?) like Bell and financial stuff, resume revisions and the like. I'll be honest, it's a must, but it's getting me down. Sometimes I feel like no matter what, I'm going to be in this hole. And I've been having a hard time understanding why life just shits on you and shits on you even if you really try hard to be a good person... which really is such a cliched question, but an true one.

Monday decided to provide me with a little lift, though. Kat and I met up and went to Princess Cinema Cafe. If you haven't been there, it's one of my absolute favorite cafes in the city. They serve comforting beverages and bomb paninis, and famed soup. Indie without being cheesy, you know? I had a London Fog and vented about life. Afterward we went to Gen X and I rented Precious and The Princess and the Frog. And then we stopped at the dollar store and Kat bought me various items. Resume tool free for all. :)

It's nice to catch up. And it's nice to know that you have friends/family that have your back, and are willing to pick you up a little once in a while. It feels less lonely for sure.

And now, I'm going to disappear into a night of movie watching and life ignoring! Turrah!

Moment of Weakness

As anti-relationship/marriage I am right now, I do have to give it one point against me:

I want someone to take care of me when I feel like shit.

Don't need no beat, I can sing it with piano...

I am armed and ready (and disguised). Coffee. File. Game face. Ego.
