Bite-Sized Baked Brie

SEE?? The joys of food. I need to make this (minus the popsicle sticks because they would just get in the way of eating). There is almost nothing better than baked brie.

(posting spree!) I made French toast last night which was supposed to be dessert, but turned into a second dinner at 10pm. Whoops. I didn’t have any milk because the milk in my fridge apparently expired two weeks ago, so I compensated with extra butter in the pan. More butter is always better, right? And I didn’t have any cinnamon so I borrowed my roommate’s pumpkin pie spice. Delicious substitution. I’m getting hungry again just thinking about it… French toast is one of my favorite foods.
I compensated for all those extra calories by only eating some fruit, a sushi roll, and some edamame today. All that was actually filling. I wish I could afford to eat sushi everyday. I love sushi.
Actually, I just love food in general. One of the great joys in life. Yay, food.
(This picture is disgustingly yellow because apparently the light in my kitchen is disgustingly yellow. I’m too lazy to correct the color in photoshop so just deal with it.)

This is my new purse. Isn’t it pretty? My old purse broke because it was cheap and because I abused it despite knowing that it couldn’t take such abuse (aka all the books I was shoving in it). I was very sad when it broke because I felt very trendy and pretty carrying it around. My boyfriend, knowing this, told me he would take me purse shopping to cheer me up. And take me purse shopping he did. We went to Nordstrom. (Actually, we went to three other stores first, but I didn’t like anything I saw. My boyfriend likes shopping with me because I am very efficient. I usually have a very specific idea of what I want and it takes me less than 5 minutes to determine whether the store has it. I shop with a goal.) Anyway, we didn’t go to the junior’s section, but to the real live designer handbag section. I kept asking him, “are you sure?” and checking the price tags, and he kept telling me, “Yes, pick whatever you want.” 
So I did. 
I picked this purse and even though it isn’t red like I wanted and it isn’t as big as I wanted, I LOVE IT. It is pink and pretty and I feel even more trendy and awesome carrying it around than I did my old one. It is the first designer bag I have ever owned and I feel so special when I put it on. 
I love my boyfriend. Not because he buys me things, but because he likes to do things that make me happy, even if they are completely ridiculous and extravagant. I like to make him happy too and I know the little drawings and letters I give him always make him smile, but I really wish I could take HIM shopping sometimes. Alas, I have no money for such things. One day I will.

What speed do you read at? (Remember, it’s not a race!)

“You read 658 words per minute. That makes you 163% faster than the average adult.”
Interesting.

I’ve laid out a whole series of areas that I will reduce spending. And I’m going to eliminate some programs that I think are duplicative and unnecessary. I’ve talked about Amtrak subsidies, subsidies to PBS, subsidies to the endowment for the arts, to the endowment for the humanities. I’ve laid out eliminating Obamacare, which by far and away is the largest – it’s $100 billion a year. And then another $100 billion by taking certain programs and having them run at a state level. I’ve talked about $50 billion by reducing the federal payroll, linking pay to government, government workers. So those are the great – that’s the overwhelming majority of the $500 billion.

New interview with Mitt Romney (via climateadaptation)

… I am disgusted that these are selling points for his campaign. There are people who will applaud this. Ew, Republicans.

Took about 20 pictures of myself for no reason except that I needed to touch my camera again, and this was the only one I liked.

Sometimes I look at my ex-boyfriend’s FB

And I am comforted by the fact that he is still a pretentious tool and I am still too good for him.

Yay me.

Completely unrelated, I am seriously craving french toast. I am very sad that I decided to hard boil all my eggs yesterday. 

Also unrelated, what am I supposed to watch now that everything is on summer hiatus? What do I do with all my free time?

Sometimes I draw penises on Draw Something. There’s something very enjoyable about drawing penises. I tried to draw a vagina too, but it looked weird. A jumbled pink mess. Penises are simple. Simple is nice.

It’s going to be really weird when a future employer finds this blog and asks me about this post. 

P.S. hi, mum
