Little bits of my life

I type in the community name as if it were a personal journal name, knowing LJ will redirect to community.livejournal.com/exampleusername from that.

http://community.livejournal.com/note_to_cat/2302512.html is painful and hilarious, and involves tea.

My sleeping habits have not been so good lately, but I'm working on that.


At the writers dinner on Wednesday night, I managed to completely win at whipped cream. We were sharing desserts, and I wound up putting some whipped cream on M's finger, and licking it off. Now, rhea_windrider had just done essentially the same. I am a competitive type, and if I have skills in an area, I do want to be able to showcase them. So, I wound up doing a very skilled job at removing the whipped cream from the finger.

The rest of the people at the table tell me that M was about one step from needing some private time.

I win at whipped cream.


The grocery store on the corner is evidently closing. Alas! This means bad things for the household. It's not screamingly horrid, but it is not good either. If I did not have a car, it would suck hardcore. There are enough people in this apartment complex who do not have cars that it will really suck being them.

Why is it so awful? It's not *that* hard to get groceries with no car, tho if it were more than 2 of us I might want a better backpack. Or a cargo rack for my bike.

I've done it before, and I wasn't all that fond of it then. I liked having a grocery store that was only a few minutes' walk rather than a mile away. It's nice to not have to plan out the logistics when you find you need strawberries at 10pm. I have a nice big backpack and an insulated bag, and I've done the groceries on the bus thing before, and it annoyed me.

Yeah, I did that for too long in Los Angeles and, frankly, in Oakland. Getting on a bus to schlep the groceries is a pain in the ass. It helps to live really close to a store. Otherwise, you might as well drive. Of course, that's if you can afford to drive.

I like having the easy option of walking. If I'm getting a whole lot of groceries from the store on the corner, it's more practical to drive if it's something fragile or heat-sensitive, but if it's not, I always could walk and then walk back with a cart. (I love that they've allowed that.) I'm less inclined to want to walk a mile there and a mile back if all I want is a bunch of grapes.

Err, um, I mean "I think you should get an outside judge. I'm sure I could find a volunteer." *weg*

And on you, I'm not sure I was even *trying*.
