"No. It's margarine."
A couple days ago I made Bacon Tofu Yakisoba. That may sound a bit strange to you, but belive me when I say that it's absolutely delicious. Tofu is, when it starts out, a nearly tasteless white brick of soybean protein, not unlike the blank canvas of the food world. When marinated in a soy sauce and hot sauce mixture and fried in bacon fat, however, it comes alive with flavor. With shredded bacon, fried onions, and noodles, it's quite a treat. I recommend it to anyone, especially vegetarians.
I just finished American Gods, and as it usually happens after reading several books, I have the urge to write. Writing, for me, is an exercise in removing distractions. To focus solely on my work, I use a certain word processor that has been near and dear to my heart for the past 20 years: Galaxy. Galaxy was a WordStar clone for DOS that I used back on our first IBM PC compatible. It's simple and useful, providing no distractions or obstructions when pounding out a stream of text. I have Galaxy 3.0 installed on my server, and I use it over SSH running in DOSEMU. That's right, I'm using a dual Opteron machine to run a DOS word processor. :D
Somewhat relatedly, I've screwed up my sleep schedule. I'm trying slowly to get it back to "normal," but my plan of waking up early requires the kind of discipline I just don't have when I'm asleep.
Last Sunday, our basement flooded. The sump pump was working, but due to the way the basement is, water pooled in lower sections anyway, leading to about an inch of water on my bedroom floor. As I peered out from my bed (which is lofted a good three feet above the floor), I noticed dirt on the white tile floor that wasn't there before. "That's odd," I said to myself, and leaped down from the loft. *sploosh* "Well shit. It's going to be one of those days." The dirt wasn't actually on the floor, it turns out, it merely rode in on a stream of water. With some help from our landlord, I got it cleaned up, but we're still not sure where the leak is.
Every time I get up now, though, I check to make sure the floor isn't covered in water.
