Goodbye, Livejournal (sort of)
Sep. 2nd, 2010 10:38 pmThis is the last post I'll be cross-posting to LJ. One too many security snafus there. I'll be keeping my LJ account for commenting purposes, and continuing to read my LJ friendslist. Also, I won't be opting into anything that connects my LJ with other social media sites, but I can't guarantee LJ won't do it for me.
Catching up on the IGD thing
Sep. 2nd, 2010 10:50 pmDay 04: What you ate today, in great detail.
Hmm, let me think. We went to three grocery stores yesterday, including Costco and Grocery Outlet, so it's junk-food-o-rama around here.
Breakfast (at work): chicken-rice piroshki; cinnabon cereal bar
Lunch (at Guy's): tortellini with mushroom cream sauce (butter, garlic, mushrooms, half-and-half, and a dab of goat cheese); some cran-raspberry juice; some pomegranate hansen's soda
Dinner (at home): Pork chops, applesauce, red-pepper chowder (I made it for a recipe contest, but it's boring. I'll punch it up tomorrow)
After-dinner snackage: more cinnabon bars (2, I think); another piroshki; the tomato paste off the lid of the can while making spaghetti sauce

Day 05 – Your definition of love, in great detail
I'm not being avoidant when I say I don't have one. I have ideas about what love means to me, but whenever I've given some kind of definition a try, I've decided that I'm okay with an "I know it when I see it" approach to this particular question, although I don't mind geeking about it.
Some things I think about love:
Love isn't enough to make a relationship on.
The kind of love I feel toward general humanity (the kind![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
piranha calls "Hare Krishna love") is different in both intensity and quality from the love I have for actual people.
For me, New Relationship Energy goes away; love doesn't go with it, but intensity does. This is a bug, not a feature, to me, but it's probably best for my productivity and calm.
I have been known to say "I love you" too soon, before I was really able to tell the difference between NRE and love, or for other suboptimal reasons. But I don't really regret it, because I do love just about everyone, to varying degrees, and I'd rather love too much than too little.

Day 06 – Your day, in great detail
Sep. 2nd, 2010 11:21 pmWoke up at 6:25 to the sound of the recycling truck and an "Oh, shit!" reaction. Rushed out and took the trash to the curb, in time for pickup (too late for recycling).
Went to work and worked as hard as the massive heat would let me; heat sucks my brain out. Listened to the person in the next cubicle answer a million questions about their recent wedding. Got a couple flyers done, and a few other things, so it wasn't a complete wash.
Left work at noon, and took the BART and a bus tostonebender's house. Ate lunch, hung out with him, whined on him about my current pain levels, checked out his spiffy new back yard. Accepted the very kind offer of a ride home from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loracs. Made pork chops and red-pepper chowder for dinner. Ate dinner. Wrote tomorrow's Mom Food post. Caught up with email for the first time in days (internet was out for a couple days, and then yesterday we were out shopping all evening, so I never got online).
Started mom's spaghetti sauce, which takes about a day to make; it's bubbling away and giving off a lovely aroma. About to brush my teeth and go to bed.
How was YOUR day?
