Getting rid of the scale in my apartment was a big contributor to my own personal body acceptance. It was actually relieving not knowing how much I weigh, because I won’t think of...

Everything is coming up Eryka
My old coffee maker broke ~tearz~ but we had such good times making coffee together, drinking coffee together, spilling coffee together, burning myself with coffee together. Unfortunately I didn’t appreciate him enough and I never took care of him, I over worked him, I never turned him off or cleaned him and he just died on me one morning (that fucking bastard).
But now I have a new love in...

Raisins are the worst.

Does Airport Security Really Make Us Safer? |... →
“Not only has the actual threat from terror been exaggerated, they say, but the great bulk of the post-9/11 measures to contain it are little more than what Schneier mocks as “security theater”: actions that accomplish nothing but are designed to make the government look like it is on the job. In fact, the continuing expenditure on security may actually have made the United States less...

I wake up in the mornings and tell myself, today you are going to be a better person than yesterday. January is getting to me, guys. I never want to leave my apartment. It’s too cold to go out from under my bed covers, but laying in bed all day makes me feel worse about myself. I keep disengaging from friends to sulk in my head and I’m distancing myself from the people I really love....

New Years Resolutions
I really love New Years Resolutions. I make one every year and it took me a really long time to learn how to make the right resolutions. When you make resolutions you can’t keep to- like some of my previous resolutions of losing weight, doing yoga twice a week, and watching 300 movies in a year- you always feel bad about yourself in the end. Resolutions shouldn’t be too specific or...

My whole house reaks of mushrooms.
This is what Polish Christmas smells like. Right now we’re boiling dried mushrooms we picked in the fall. These will go into gulombpki, pierogi (for red borsch) and gravy. Does anyone else celebrate a meatless Christmas Eve?
