Random Twitter-like Thoughts

- My back hurts from running.

- Yay new bus pass!

- I made kaya. Coconut egg jam. I need a blender for it to be properly smooth but I guess it's okay. I'll have a go at eating it for a bit and see how it turned out.

- I made kaya because I made curry, and I didn't want remaining half can of the coconut milk to go to waste.

- Although now that I think of it, I could have just used it for the rice. Oops.

- Went round the Common with _juju_ this evening. Total of four rounds around the North Common, walked twice, jogged once, walked a final round.

- My back really hurts from running.

- I was gonna write my Seven Sins blog series this weekend but my brain is so tired. It's the vita activa versus the vita contemplativa again!!

- ... Which you'd only get if you were in my Honours class on Democratic Individualism or were following my posts on it.

- lady_zip is now glassfishgirl. I wish my cheque to LJ got through the mail and I got my rename token =(

- I will now go cook rice, and turn off the computer to continue my sewing. I need to fix my bag.

- I went grocery shopping amd bought Bagefuls. OMG THEY ARE SO YUMMY. This time I bought the ones with CHIVES in the creamcheese omg.

ETA: Just saw this line over at Pandagon:

"Well, we depressed people are self-centered, insufferable, boring, neurotic assholes."

I LOL'd. I'll have to keep this line in mind for the next time I get into a depressive rut, so I can have a good laugh at myself.
