For breakfast I had creamy parmesan noodles, for lunch I had eggs and hashbrowns, for my healthy snack I had a mandarin and a sugar-free popsicle. I got in well over an hour of exercise walking from my place to merryperseis's place and back.

I would have made, except that my dinner wasn't exactly reasonable. I went to Rudy's with purpleglitter, zarthon, and Jeff. I ended up eating chili con queso, a jalapeño poppers, and a bean & cheese burrito. The popper and burrito would have been fine &ndash but the chips and chili con queso were not only too much, it's hard not to categorize them as junk food.

For breakfast yesterday I had mixed pasta in a jalapeño jack and parmesan sauce, for lunch I had 1¹/₂ 7-layer burritos from Taco Bell (mmm... lettuce), for dinner I had spaghetti in a tomatoe sauce with zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, peppers and parmesan cheese. For my first healthy snack I had cashews, for my second I had a clementine. I completed my exercise quota in the form of a cigar walk to Stop & Shop.

Food perfect. For breakfast I had spaghetti in tomatoe sauce with spinach and parmesan cheese; for lunch I had Spanish rice with faux pork; for dinner zarthon took me out to Rudy's where I had enchiladas verdes, chili con queso, and jalapeño poppers; for my healthy snack I had a caffeinated cliff bar. I wanted to walk home from Rudy's for my exercise, but both zarthon and purpleglitter were very much against the idea because of the number of spells I've been having lately. They insisted I ride home with them, which I did. Sooner or later I'm just going to have to say fuck it and get in my exercise regardless of the spells. I have to live my life, and that means taking risks.

I had spaghetti and tomatoe sauce with mushrooms for breakfast, chole kulcha with naan for lunch, an orange for my healthy snack, and jalapeño jack rotini for dinner. With my food, I drank several glasses of V8. I got 15 minutes of walking in, a bit shorter than my planned half hour, but still better than yesterday. I did good today, tomorrow I can do better.

life is this
this is life
where will i go?
what am i doing here?
right now i'm sitting at a keyboard.
having listened to the preachings of rev. jeremiah weed
jeremiah weed is a pleasant fellow
he ministers in a slurred voice
his company is fine
he makes me drunk

don't worry
i'm not going to do the three dots thing again

shut up
anyway.
sometimes
things are different
different inside
things freeze up
it's hot in here
but it's cold too.
they might seem opposite
but can exist together.
i'm thinking of jalapeño ice cream
interesting idea
hot and cold
i wonder if it would take off
popcorn flavored jelly beans did

dashes
see
not dots
the world is spinning a little
but that's just old rev. weed
asking me
what's up
i don't know where i am
i don't really care
i'm somewhere
that's all that matters for the moment
it's hot in here
i open the window.
it will be cold soon
winter is coming
one of the floaters doesn't like winter
finds it triggery
i wonder what happened in the winter
i wonder why the winter is so cold
the beast comes out in the cold
the beast is protective
the beast sees the cold as something to protect against
winters long march
through my bones
----
four even
and only once
so there

symmetry is overrated
i overrate it
i look at it as important
feel rebellious if i part my hair asymmetrically
fuck symmetry
-----
i hear the leaves
falling to the ground
winter is coming
coming fast
we need oil
do we have money for oil?
no.
but we need it
or we will freeze
i can keep the house heated with the gas stove and oven
but people need to cooperate
i have to stay up all night to make sure the pipes don't freeze some nights
winter is always about tending the fires
making sure everything stays warm
against the bitter cold
and here it comes
winter
