     I made it to Georgia in one piece, and I think all my stuff is still in one piece, too.  Most of my stuff will stay packed for a while, but I've been able to unpack a view things just so that I'll feel at home here in my family's house until I get my own place around here.  As it turns out, I can fit into my old room with two of my sisters, but it's taking a lot of hardcore organizing and rearranging-- constantly.  It's amazing what a difference it makes to have lots of organizing things; you really can get triple the space sometimes.      In other news, I am trying out this whole cold brew craze.  Tomorrow we'll see whether I made it right or not.      I also love Owl City's new album, Cinematic .  "Firebird," and "Lucid Dream" are my favorites, but "Fiji Water" reminds me a little of his earlier song, "Dental Care."  I am just so excited that Adam Young is still putting out songs!  (I'm h...

Writing and Hallmark

     It has been exactly six months since I started up this blog, and I am happy to say that it is still going!  I have posted at least three times every month since my first post-- with the exception of April, when I did not post at all.  This is the most amount of regular for-other-people-and-not-just-me writing I have done in years , so this is very exciting.      What's also exciting is that I have a new favorite game (which I did not invent): creating Hallmark movie synopses for your single friends.  Two friends of mine began this, and now I can't stop.  I just finished planning one in which my friend meets her soulmate while criticizing clothes at the mall, and then gets rescued from a tornado AND from a three-nose-ringed barista wearing moss and lichen on his face instead of a beard.  I need to write this out straight away before I forget it, actually.  All in all, I highly recommend the game.

Food Fads

     People like to talk about "Fast Fashion," in regards to clothing and accessories, but has anyone thought about it in relation to food?  Think about how many food fads there are: avocado, quinoa, coconut oil, fruit-infused water, etc.  Have you ever noticed that restaurants with the same price range and "target audience" all tend to copy each other?  That's not a coincidence.      People who are 30 probably cook and eat differently than people who are 50-60; and those who are 60+?  Apparently, there's such thing as "old people food."  Why is this?  Why can't it just be...... I don't know..... food?  I had some horseradish the other day at work, and I realized that I couldn't remember the last time I had eaten horseradish, or seen anyone else eat it, either.  People have been eating that stuff for hundreds of years, and they were on to something: it's really good with meat.  Why do we never eat it...

Newsflash!

     And now for the big reveal:  I am moving back to Georgia!  I have been away for some years, and it will be good to go back for some time.  I will now have new kinds of adventures to report, and new sources of inspiration.... and new things to criticize, let's be honest.  :)

Limeade and Medeival Music

       Today my roommate asked whether I was cooking or conducting a science experiment.  It's a fair question, actually, especially if you had seen how ridiculously I was going about my culinary endeavor.      I am attempting to create a coconut and Thai basil limeade, but I'm not sure how well it's going thus far.  I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if the coconut and Thai basil flavors have infused the limeade or not.  I feel pretty justified in my flavor combination, but I also feel like the contestants on the Great British Baking Show when they struggle to balance all the flavors in a given dish.  I would really love for this to turn out well, but we'll see.  At least I won't lose anything but a little bit of time and ingredients should I fail to achieve the perfect coconut Thai basil limeade.          I've also been listening to more random stuff on YouTube, wh...
