Microwave... Day 5.

The last day was yesterday. Sorry to my loyal...reader...for not posting on time. The Lady Friend is sick, so we had a night of movies and ice cream last night. Anyhoot, on to the last fun-filled post until Monday. I haven't quite decided what to give up yet, and I think I'm going to start leaving it a surprise until Mondays from now on. Also, no pics. My camera has officially shuffled off this mortal coil...

Things that suck(ed)...

1. Not being able to eat the foods I want in a short amount of time. As Mitch Hedberg once famously said. "I love baked potatoes, but I don't have a microwave. Sometimes I'll throw a potato in the oven even if I'm not hungry, because by the time it's done, who knows?" I definitely have a little of that going on. I got on to a big oatmeal kick, and you can forget making it on the stove (what a MESS). I've been eating Honey Nut Cheerios, which aren't bad, but still. The worst part? I don't eat breakfast, like, ever. I eat oatmeal (or cheerios, as the case was this week) at midnight or later. So I am fully conscious of the absence of oatmeal.

Things that (didn't)...

1. I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would. Unlike the computer, it is possible to live without the microwave, and do so quite easily. By the end of the week, I barely noticed it was gone. I almost slipped up when i was going to fire up some left-overs, but I was fine waiting.

P.S. If anyone likes, or hates this, or thinks it's stupid, or the coolest thing since sliced bread, leave comments! I'd love some feedback from reader(s)!

Day 5 without the Computer...

Preface: I think I'm going to do a post every other day, barring any special circumstances. I mean, there are only a few ways you can say something sucks, or doesn't. That said...

Things that suck:

1. Work! BORING! I want to stab like 2/3 of the people I work with...

2. Not being able to erase things easily...(use a pencil, you say? Sucks to your ass-mar!)

3. People keep telling me about websites. I have to say "I can't use the computer." You can't use the computer? What are you, Amish? Yes, I'm Amish in a Puma jacket...douche.

4. No Porn. Can't do it the old-fashioned way. No imagination left. I close my eyes and...bupkis. Thank God for the GF...

Things that don't:

1. Still reading, still sweet. The Tipping Point, highly recommended. Malcolm Gladwell. If you don't know, "you'd better axe sumbuddy," as the kids say.

2. Go Blue Ink. I forgot what a whole written page looked like that had nothing to do with school...
