Short list tonight (she says sarcastically).

1. Last Crit for DII
2. Situps Week 1, Day 1

3. Write paper for Criminal Law
4. Assemble Bento Lunch for tomorrow

I can do this and be in bed by 11 pm. I can...

Edit: Week 1, Day 1 = THIRTY EIGHT situps!!!!

Edit 2: Paper half-written, but outlined the rest of the way. I'm going to bed. No bento tomorrow, but did pack a lunch. Go me.

I thought I'd share what I've been eating for lunch lately - I'm sure some of you have heard me talking about bentos. I'm uploading them (when I make them) to [livejournal.com profile] bentolunch, which is a fabulous comm and has some amazing lunches. Mine are pretty utilitarian, but they're yummy.

Tomorrow, I have homemade minestrone soup in another container, and an apple blossom that's packed in its own container, so I only have one container:




I have, starting from the upper left, a small container of pomegranate seeds, two grape tomatoes, two slices of bread in plastic wrap, 5 more grape tomatoes, four goat cheese balls rolled in mint and sesame seeds and cucumbers. It's not a lot of food, but it's really filling.

So now you know what I mean when I say bento! :) If I do any really cool ones, I'll post them, but I don't want to use up everyone's bandwith. Unless people want me to keep posting them, that is.

Well, it finally broke, around 7:30 pm. Bleah. At least I won't have to fight a migraine while fighting the snowstorm. I even got a bit written on a new short story that wouldn't leave me alone while I was trying to sleep off said migraine. I don't know what it's going to come out as yet - it's gone through several incarnations already. I'll post metrics tomorrow.

Bentos were made and even posted to [livejournal.com profile] bentolunch. Hubby and I watched The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which were cool, because River (from Serenity and Firefly) is in them, and she rocks. The second half is tomorrow night.

Now off to bed. I have to be up in (checks clock) 4 hours.

So, yesterday was a VERY good mail day. Got my new bento stuff in the mail, and my Princess Tutu thinpak. Watched the preview disk (oh man. I MUST have Le Chevalier D'Eon. MUST.) and started wondering what exactly was in the coffee cups some of these animators were drinking from. (I don't remember the exact name, but the one with the girl who kept repeating, "Did I mention that I'm hot?" in a true hillbilly accent? Yeah. And don't get me started on the 11-year-old teacher. 'Nuff said.)

Then, I popped the first disk of Princess Tutu in. Wow. I...wow.

This stuff is serious crack. SERIOUS. It's the Nutcracker on Acid. I've watched the first two episodes and I am hooked. I love Duck. I love Roue. And I'm not real sure about emo-boy (the prince), but I love the storyline.

[livejournal.com profile] beard5, you have to see this on Thursday. Your head will explode. It's quite possible that this is more insane than Zim.

More later.

So, I'm working 3 12-hr shifts Monday through Wednesday next week. This requires planning on my part, because I will be damned if:

a) I will eat out every lunch break and/or dinner break.
b) I will have soda again.

This means that I have to do a few things - hey, [livejournal.com profile] beard5, what's your thoughts on stopping at a Family Dollar tomorrow and looking at some Bento Boxes? I'm going to get either some of the Hello Kitty ones that they supposedly have (it's either them or Dollar Tree) or some Lock-n-Locks from Target/Walmart. I'm going to be packing bentos for lunch and dinner for all three days.

I want to make up some peanut noodles (yummy!) and maybe I'll try some furikake rice or some rice balls (I think they're called onigri). I'm also going to see if I can find some cookie cutters I can use to shape the rice and do some hard-boiled eggs.

I need to get some fillers for the boxes (cherry tomatoes, grapes, etc) and some paper cupcake cups.

I'm also going to make some cranberry bread and maybe some chicken casserole for the week.

More later.

Oh, and my bento shipped already!!!
