A Girl With a Sword

cage-free

well, my iPod stopped working again, but the good part of this is that I got to listen to This American Life today (it was the episode "That's Not What I Meant"). This American Life makes me miss Hope. I went grocery shopping today and grocery shopping is always such a confusing experience for me. I hate making decisions about whether or not to get the expensive mayonaise, even though it tastes better than all the other kinds. And should I get the cage-free eggs even though they are more expensive and buying cage-free eggs reminds me that there are bad things going on in Africa that I need to look up and figure out how I can help and then I wonder if any helping is just hypocrisy for me, the girl who buys an iBook because she wants to feel cool and then it all becomes this moral dilemma and so I move on to the tuna fish only to find that there are about thirty different kinds of tuna fish. I had a long conversation with the stock boy about what things like "light chunk" and "white solid" meant and ended up just getting the pretty green can with the mermaid on it. And they didn't have onion bagels today, why didn't they have onion bagels? But I got hummus and tomatoes and now I feel healthier. And I got granola because I'm not interested in any cereal that isn't granola, even if it does cost more. Gotta just make my own. I'm really really missing the Wilkerson dining hall at UND. They had about thirty different kinds of cereal and they had these amazing chicken strips called "chicken strips o' fire" that they would serve at least once a week. Okay, enough dwelling on food.

and for those who only read entries with pictures, here's one of a William Blake painting, since I am writing this while sitting among William Blake paintings:
