100 Words: Day 19 by SD
[…]
These days, I spend a lot of time on food blogs, gojee, epicurious, and foodnetwork.com looking for recipes. It means that I make a lot more white people food, such as pot roast or meatballs, and that I bake a lot more. I’ve slowly gathered a collection, which I’ve streamlined to all of my mobile devices by clipping them onto Evernote. Some of them have been fails. But many more have been wins. I won’t go through all of them today, but here’s one that’s really awful for your waistline and one that’s actually not bad for it.

I spent a lot of time writing today about food I cook on the 100words blog. Feel the need to reblog it here. Also, I added a Facebook like and Tweet button to the page. Because I’m a tool.

100 Words or More
A couple friends and I are trying to write at least 100 words every day. Just to do it. Follow us here.

Glee-fever
- me: last night i finished watching the holiday glee after we hung up
- and then was so upset at how awful it was that i made a video and tried to post it to my tumblr
- but it didn't work so i had to delete it
- Sam: a video of yourself railing against it?
- me: yes HAHAH
- Sam: oh my
- baby, you are getting cabin fever
- me: probably
- i spent all night tweeting about glee
- but i think i'm leaving the house today to meet with some hs people that i wasn't really friends with until after hs
- Sam: hmm
- that should be fun?
- me: i'm not sure
- it means i'll have to shower
Ladies and gentleman: My brother
- Me: Wait, why are you only wearing one sock?
- Eric: Because the other one falls off.
- Me: What do you mean the other one falls off? How does it fall off?
- Eric: I don't know, I guess I walk weird. It just comes off.
- Me: So you don't, like, put it back on when it falls off?
- Eric: I guess I don't notice.
ON TELEVISION: I forgot to post this when I wrote it, so I’m posting it now.
You know how when someone obviously watches too much TV—like, 12 shows at the same time—and you start thinking “Jesus, does this person do anything else? Does this person have no life?” I’m here to answer that question: No, no this person does not have a life.
Shows I’ve watched at least four episodes of in Summer 2011, thus not counting the embarrassing number of shitty Hulu pilots I’ve seen:
- The Glee Project
- Awkward
- Misfits
- Love in the Wild
- MasterChef
- True Blood
- Weeds
- The Wire
I have a guilty suspicion that I’ve left some out, as if my memory is saving myself from being more incriminating than following eight shows at one time. Seven of which, by the way, are hour-long. Moreover, I’ve emotionally attached myself to one of them: The Glee Project, a reality competition spin-off of Glee that was far superior to Glee itself until its best contestant went all emotional and left the show. I speak of Cameron, the guitar-playing hipster with a breathy, sultry, voice, shown above. After watching his dramatic departure, I proceeded to play his rendition of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” four times in a row, which is how long it took before I felt better. I even stopped writing to watch the video again. Not because I’m depressed, it’s just good. I mean, I’m still holding out for Ryan Murphy to write a character for him anyway, but that’s a different story.
My mom tells me I have trouble relaxing. This is probably the last real summer vacation of my life, and all I’m thinking about is when it will end, or feeling guilty about things I should be doing, like pitching stories and writing them, or starting that novel whose (good!) idea has been festering for some time now.
Unless I’m watching TV. Then I’m not thinking about these things. I’m thinking about how Cameron would be the most charming Glee character ever created and how Ryan Murphy is an asshole and how I can’t wait till Christian leaves MasterChef and Love in the Wild is a huge scam because it’s ridiculous to send a couple who met ten days ago on a romantic vacation.
