Remembering that 8 AM Class
I kind of spaced off eating breakfast this morning. It happens. I got to work early and hungry. First things first – coffee. Next, walk all over the building looking for my favorite sinful breakfast, Dunkin Sticks, at one of the many vending machines.
No luck on the Dunkin Sticks. I chose a Pop Tart package instead.
Back at my desk eating the Tart uncooked, I had a college flashback, when I would eat uncooked Tarts in class because I wanted that 30 seconds of extra sleep instead of popping them in the toaster. I glanced at the package for the nutritional value. Not good. Then I thought about how I used to eat fast food almost everyday in college because the cafeteria sucked so badly (remember Barth’s kitchen from You Can’t Do That On Television?), and then how I would polish off every meal with a couple of smokes.
How am I not obese and/or dead?
I find myself using bargaining chips when my alarm goes off
See, now, I just make myself get up – I’m usually surly though.
A book that really showed me the light, as far as fast food is concerned, was Fast Food Nation.
I’ve seen Super Size Me also, but it is hard to swear it off when I don’t seem to have any adverse effects. However, I’m thinking cholesterol is going to get me, just like my dad. He ate terribly my whole life and had gained maybe 10 lbs., but his cholesterol was really bad. He stopped eating salami, donut gems (his breakfast of choice), and fast food. Not only is his cholesterol down but he’s thinner than me now.

I find myself using bargaining chips when my alarm goes off like “okay..if I brush my teeth really quikcly then I can stay in bed another 30 seconds. And…if I wear the shoes that the lace don’t need to be tied then that’s another 45 seconds I can lay here.
Regarding your post over at our webkit:
“Max said…
Cool space, as always. Are those a couple eMacs in there? You guys practically have your own computer lab now, don’t you?
9:29 AM ”
It’s actually a G5 (Kate), an eMac (me), and a Powerbook working together in a networked jamboree.
