Experiment gone right
Posted Apr 28, 2004
This was very nice, even if simple
Chop 1/2 onion and saute in oil. Throw in a little white wine and balsamic vinegar. Stir in 1-2 tsp marjoram, and pinches of salt, turmeric, and rosemary, and pepper as desired. Add 1/2 cup orzo and saute a couple minutes, then 1 cup long grain brown rice and saute another couple minutes. Add enough wine, water, vegetable stock (and whatever else sounds nice) to equal 2 1/4 c liquid. Cover and bring to boil, then reduce heat to very low. Let simmer 35-40 minutes. Fluff with fork. Sprinkle generously with grated parmesan and crumbled feta (loooots of feta 
). Turn the heat off, and put the lid back on. Let sit 5 minutes or so such that the cheese is nice and soft.
Ahh....

When his little icon in my messenger window lights up indicating he's come online my heart still flutters and my chest still tightens.

Still mad.

My insomnia has just gotten stupid. Stupider. Normally, I can fall asleep by 4 or 5, but the last couples nights, 6 or 7 rolls around, and I'm still not sleep.
I've resorted to red wine, wheat bread, and playing reggae softly. I feel like a sh*t though for drugging myself to accomplish basic functions. So this is what chronic depression is like, eh? Don't sleep, don't make eye contact, and slowly lose weight. I'm used to the free-fall sort of depression that almost kills you until enough time, babysitting, and drugs sets you right again.
Oh, I do go on. *quaffs wine* I love the word quaff. So rp.

SO MAD!!

So you know that the only way to communicate with my dear one is via internet right? Wellll...last night I went to hibernate the machine, and it froze. I didn't think anything of it; windows craps out all the time. But this morning, I turned the net on, but nothing. No IP address or anything. Cable modem appeared to be working, so I did the stupic power cycle routine a few dozen times, with several reboots and connection repair attempts for good measure. I called the cable company. She suggested more of the same. I called again, and was referred to tech support. He said he could talk to my modem but not my computer. Damn it. He faffed around a bit, had me flip around the ethernet cable, etc., then finally asked me to use it as a USB device (the cable for which I actually found, glory be) and said I would need the driver disk (which I couldn't find). So I toodle down to the Cable company to beg a disk off them. Oh, before this, I had the aggravating experience of restoring my computer to an earlier date, which did f*ck all, and tried to undo it, which it insisted would work, which didn't. So I also now have the joy of redoing my desktop cleaning. So anyway, got that disk, brung it home and the computer wouldn't read it. There was nothing in my CD-Rom drive. So I tried other CDs. Oh, they worked just fine. Thoroughly pissed off, I found one of those AOL startup disks that everyone has lying around and signed up for an account for the purpose of downloading drivers. Did that successfully, and tried to install, but had to call tech support again for my account info. *Then* I had to call and cancel f*cking AOL, hellish experience as usual, what with the 'why are you canceling?!?' and 'are you sure?!?!?!?!'s for half an hour. Lies upon lies came out of my mouth. I wasn't about to say I raped off them some free bandwidth for making another provider's sh*t work. Buahaha. So yeah, here I am *finally*. Didn't get here in time to talk to my dear one though

..or so it would seem. Do you guys have the boardgame 'Life'? Well, in any case, when it comes time to get married, they ask each other if they want to get married to a boy or a girl. 
They invariably choose the opposite sex, but they give each other the option at least. Pretty forward thinking for 4 and 5 year olds
