I was avoiding my cold kitchen. I was catching up on my blog reading. Then I saw this precious gem on My Paper Crane’s blog.

Now I’m starving.

I’m off to go warm up the kitchen.

Since I’m feeling better I thought it best to post one more entry before I log off and attend to life.

The strangest thing I come to know is how entwined my apartment is to my well being. I’m not a particularly lonely creature but its true when I say that it doesn’t affect anyone when I get sick.

I have no one who depends on me. But after a few days I just had to look around the place. The piles of dishes. The bags of trash. The mess.

At one point the thought of standing in the kitchen preparing coffee made me want to shudder. And I’m a girl who loves her coffee.

Just the other day I attempted to make a stir fry chicken. I say attempt because I fell asleep. The soy sauce, chicken and vegetables burned onto the pan. I woke up in time to turn off the burner. I still couldn’t breathe out of my nose so I had no idea what had happened until I shuffled over to the stove.

Sad to say but I scraped some of that gunk into a bowl of beautiful rice and tried to eat it.

All that matters now is my health. For my kitchen’s sake I will try to keep from making anymore mistakes.

*The picture reminded me of going to the grocery store…which was impossible before today.*

The answer to all of life’s problems, is not pizza but escape. I played with a puppy, ate some pizza and I hooked up the scanner.
My descent into madness is officially documented.

The first stage is filled with good humor as the computer restarts,
Stoop its what you eat
And then time passes and I become whimsical,
There is nothing more lovely than bangs
The whimsy stretches on to my imagination.
Coffee and Jane Austen
The computer restarts suddenly after freezing up for 20 minutes.
The Monitor was a smug...
While the computer was frozen a message like this was plastered across its face:
Installing new software
A bout of hysteria brings to mind something I heard in a class:
Best question made by University Professor
*An adorable 70 year old professor from S. Africa said this, she had misunderstood a student when he told her he cashed his check at a pawn shop. She went on to ask us all why we went to Porn Shops.

Upon restart I am told to that the software/download is working but this is all I see:
Design Meets Evil
**There is something so insulting by the image of a great logo representing a great evil**

Hours later my body is revolting.
Anger leads to hunger

The ipod does the best it can to distract from the whole situation leading me to pay homage to my favorite band.
Oh Arctic Monekys! You are my muse.

The audio struggle is over…and yet the scanner has disappeared.
The most offensive icons
At the sight of this icon I finally ran away from the computer.

I just update this blog’s theme. I have been obsessed with cold weather, always feel like I’m missing out on all the snow related fun. So the current header is a bleak white winter day.
Besides I’ve been longing to shed my old garish colors (blood red/police tape yellow) for something cleaner.

So now here is some Natalie Dee fun, to ensure for a good week to come.

I was saddened this morning when I tried to shake a few spices into my whole-grain oatmeal. Totally empty.
Spice bottles a plenty
But I do have various storage needs so I began to visualize a few beads or silver hoops rolling around inside the bottles. Fun.
Just another effort to recycle/upcycle.
