Not for us veggie-ers or the vegan-types

From my officemate:

So, I was hungry at work today and went to the vending machine to get a snack. I usually don’t do such things, but I figured I could find something. I passed up the granola bars that I knew had honey in them in everything. I decided barbeque chips were probably safe. I got the package out and in the fucking ingredients for baked lays bbq chips were EGGS, MILK, and fucking CHICKEN FAT! Are you kidding me? VEGAN FAIL.




I'm glad I didn't do the vending machines but instead went to the trucks for a fresh spring roll!

Down Time

Your result for The Attachment Style Test...

The Free Agent

11% Anxiety Over Abandonment and 28% Avoidance Of Intimacy

You like to be independent, to play by your own rules. You're not terribly interested in finding a partner and settling down, and it makes you nervous to imagine that someone might depend on you for anything. Were you to find the right partner--someone as independent as you, probably--you'd not be too put out about sharing your adventures with him/her.



Fictional characters with whom you might identify: Han Solo (Star Wars), Beatrice ("Much Ado About Nothing")

Fearful: The Doormat | The Leper | The Exile

Things that made me smile today

-  I am looking after Walter (the bunny) while  [info]robots_suck is away.  This morning Walter was playing in his little cardboard house and wouldn't come out.  I have chosen to interpret this as he enjoys my company (obviously) and was protesting my absence.  He's a bit stoic, so I'm not 100% on that but I'm pretty sure I'm right :D

- My favorite fan of the band just got married in Victoria.  The pictures posted were adorable.  Yay happiness!

- The next thing is a secret.  I will update when things have developed a little more, but I am very excited!

- A guy in the elevator overheard me talking about being in a band.  When I told him we were postapocalyptic folk his response was "Like Sun Ra, funkadelic stuff?"  I laughed on the inside.  I will post music when we have some good recordings...recorded.

- I have dark chocolate and strawberries.  I love the summer and being able to eat tons of fruits and veggies on the cheap :P

- It is Bastille Day!  I will be at a French dinner-picnic thing later and will have lots of good wine.

-  Also, it is a gorgeous day.

That is all.

Why I feel the way I do about my research...

Thoughts at 2am

#1 - I am happy because I have the intertubes whenever I want instead of pirating off of someone's linksys. Yay for Le Chat coming back into town! Still, my internets have been disrupted like 3 times while I've tried to post this. I mean, come on!

#2 - I have the hiccups! This is why I can't slepp.  The closer I get to 30, the more my tolerance for alcohol decreases.  I mean, come on!  I only had 2 drinks tonight ([info]purple_fiction:  guess which one had 3 OLIVES!!! I didn't even have to say I like it dirty!

#3 - It's easy to get a ride from Shadyside to Squill if you say:

1.) you're from Seattle and you lived on Capital Hill,
2.) you're in a post-apocalyptic folk band and play recorder, and
3.) you're in an evening gown (note: you don't actually have to say this)

Only one of these three things probably intrigued Bob from Honolulu, the Lead Singer and Composer of some Generic Pgh Rock Band to drive me home.  As some of you may gasp, I say that there was no problem because my ability to judge trustworthiness is pretty accurate. He dropped me off at Squill Cage without incident (note, this bar is not, and never has been, my home.  But I am tricksie like that).

4# - I like to plan, but I can only do this superbly if I know what I'm planning for. Like, planning on finding a home before 5 days ago because my "sublease" ends on Tuesday. I blame the French Government for stealing the ability of my prefrontal cortext to function for the past 2 months. Merci, merci tambourine shaker, bell ringer, drum beater, duct banger for agreeing to giving me a home! Like all my adjectives? I'm quite pleased with myself...

#5 - This post has waaay too many exclamation points! I mean, come on (says the guy in the $3000.00 suit)!

Tee-hee, I love GOB.  And, why aren't my hiccups gone?

Quote of the Night

"Hey Melissa! You disappeared like a gray donkey into the mist! What's happening to you? Are you still in Pittsburgh?"

Tee-hee. Gray donkey...

And yes, I am still in Pittsburgh. Though after much MUCH waiting I finally have my visa and can leave for France at any moment. But I'm not going to do that. With the band getting gigs and the whole the-longer-I-stay-the-more-money-I-save (damn you weak dollar!) I'll be around until August. It turns out I'm actually going to miss Pittsburgh. That was my major discovery last week Friday. So I'm working right up to the end. And soaking up every moment with the awesome people that are still in town. There will definitely be some sort of to-do in August, so watch lj for more info.

Animal Rescue League - Help!

Anyone, anyone?

*******************

Hi volunteers,

This is urgent...the kennel is full and we need to make space for incoming dogs! We have a 10yr old lab mix that could go to a foster as well as as a couple of beagle mixes. Please, if you can help by fostering one or some dogs, let me know as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Monica

I hope this will get sorted out.  Completely different from this.  Or maybe not.
