I just ate some grapefruit. These titles are so irrelevant. Or barely relevant.

Hi. Me again. How are you? I’ve been all freaked out and stressed out and busy, so I haven’t written in here. I missed it, though. I like rambling on with no organization or focus. Weee!

I started my new herbal/natural blog. It’s cool. It’s fun. I write in an organized way there, though, like I’m trying to make sense and be articulate. Nothing like this place. I also finally released my romance novel. It’s doing well. At least as well as expected. Making no sales, but I’m serializing it, and I get more readers with each chapter. Nice. People like romance. Mandra continues to beat the crap out of anything else I’ve ever written, in terms of how many downloads it’s gotten. Wowsers. That’s kind of nice. Weird, but kind of nice.

I made a booootiful cover for my new romance novel. Very pretty. Very simple. Strangely noir. Hmm.

I finally got my car registered. Turns out in my state you can’t get a title until you register the car. ???? In most other places I think it’s the other way around? So I was waiting for a car title to come to me, and that was never gonna happen. The county treasurer’s office finally wrote to me and said, “Come register your car already!” Oh, okay. ???!

Habitat for Humanity picked up my old car finally. Turns out I needed a lien release from ten years ago to go with the title. Hahahaha! The bank didn’t even have a record of the loan anymore. They had to create a new lien release. GARR! Lot of trouble. I thought my new car didn’t have heat, but it turns out it does have heat. My stress level is lower now.

So, let’s talk Dollhouse! It bugs the crap out of me that fans, critics, creators of the show are always putting down the first 5 episodes or so. “It had a weak beginning” blah blah blah. The first episode is my favorite. I hate it especially when the creators of a thing put it down. Are you insulting me for liking it or what?! “Ghost” (the first episode) is just perfectly perfect. For me anyway. I do love the Alpha episodes. Who wouldn’t? But “Ghost” is the bestest.

I’ve read reviews of last night’s episode. People seem to be utterly amazed that Topher could make a woman able to breastfeed without having given birth. We already have that technology, people. It’s called hormone pills. Lots of women breastfeed their adopted babies. Don’t piss me off, America! Oops. I’m moody. Plus that’s not the only reason Echo went back for the baby. She was already glitching and remembering all her imprints. Hmm… complex. Oh, those were spoilers, by the way. WHOOPS. I think you need a treatment.

I’m watching last year’s Smallville. It is so damn good! Eeeee! And I thought it wouldn’t work without Lex. Bah! Very nice! I must see what happens next. I can’t afford to buy the season right now, so I’m renting. And I don’t have the channel Smallville is on anymore, so I can’t watch it now even if I want to. Same with Supernatural. Maybe I’ll write more novels. Pfft. Whatever.

I just bought my monthly batch of vitamins and herbs. I spend $50 a month on that stuff. Damn! So funny. Years ago, when I was on Prozac for 3 weeks, it cost $50 a month. And that’s for one pill. That does one thing. Vitamins and herbs each do many things. And are apparently cheaper, cuz I take a lot of them. Still, how many people have a $50 vitamin budget? Weird.

This reminds me of a chat I had with my mother the other day.

Me: Did you know marshmallow is an herb?
Mom: No, it’s not.
Me: Yes, it is.
Mom: No, it’s not.
Me: Yes, it is.
Mom: Marshmallows don’t grow on trees.
Me: I didn’t say marshmallows grew on trees.

Pause.

Me: Marshmallows at some point probably had the herb marshmallow in them.
Mom: That’s ridiculous.

Hee hee. So weird! Sigh. Anyway, marshmallow is apparently good for the lungs and stomachaches, among other things. Interesting.

You know what’s bizarre?! I bought these things, taquito type things, that were supposed to be full of cheese and vegetables. I microwave one and bite into it and there are all these cubes. Cream colored. I think, “Is that potato?” I put one in my mouth. It’s kind of chewy. Hey, it tastes like that fake tofu chicken–AHHH! I realize it’s real chicken and spit it out. Yeck! There were three taquitos in the package. I cooked them all up so I could look inside to see what was in them. Sure enough, cheese and chicken. No vegetables anywhere! I look on the box. Yes, indeed, the box says they are cheese and vegetable. Unbelievable! So, yeah, they put them in the wrong box. Bummer! Not buying that brand again. It’s funny my fake tofu chicken really does taste like chicken. I haven’t had meat in years. I assumed my tofu stuff was just an approximate meat-like flavor. Yeeks!

I should probably not be eating cheese anyway. I fell off the wagon. Hey, I have a strawberry banana soy protein shake. I’m having it!

That was anti-climactic. I’m waiting ’til after this blog entry to have it. Hmph.

This seems like a longer ramble than usual, but have you been to alice.com???!!!! It’s awesome! It is the land of cheapness with no crowds. Suck it, Walmart! Not that Walmart doesn’t have its charm, but crowds, yeck. I just bought a bunch of household crap there (alice.com). Every two weeks I buy stuff from them. Payday. Shampoo, Kleenex, body wash, paper plates, moisturizer. Etc. Yes!

I’m a little weirded out that I think I swallowed a piece of chicken. Before I knew I was eating chicken. YUUUUUUccckkkkk!!! No!!!!

Wow. Calm down. I ate a bunch of grapefruit afterwards. It seemed like the anti-meat. Heh. And now we’ve come full circle. See what I did there? Unplanned! Rambling is the best. Hee!

I think I’m in a better mood. Certainly better than I have been. Must go now. Gotta have that protein shake. Yummeeeeyyyy!

Later.
