My whole life I have been infected with 'when it rains it pours' syndrome.
This usually has been a shitty fact of life that I try to deal with.
In May, I got dumped in a pretty horrific fashion, graduated from college, moved back in with my parents (who live in the middle of the woods far from anyone i know), have taken up some stressful part time jobs, and went to the hospital (which later resulted in a multitude of tests, medication that makes me sick, and having to pay for health insurance). I'm leaving out the little things that really do add up, trust me i'm an expert.
Well, when you have this syndrome, the one up-side is that usually things will turn around for you one day. Maybe one day it is just really nice outside and you don't feel so miserable. Maybe a guy you have a crush on tells you that you have the nicest ass he's ever seen. maybe you discover a new hobby that makes you really really happy. Then you have a fun halloween weekend with your best friends, and after an afternoon where everything you cooked (lentils and squash with goat cheese and pumpkin bread pudding, thank you smittenkitchen) turns out just perfect you get an email saying that you got that real job you interviewed for. The job where you get to do something productive in society and feel worth-while.
Maybe i'm pre-disposed, but it seems that i experience high highs and low lows. I'm just pretty dam happy that after what feels like forever, i'm starting to reach the good parts again.

so i have a crush on my co-worker which i think is totally innocent because nothing has happened between us and im too much of a pussy to let anything happen. case in point: he invited me to a halloween party tonight and im sitting here at 8:15 in my pajama pants writing on my blog about how im lame.
i just don't really have the confidence to roll up to a party dressed in a costume by myself at a party where the only person i know is my work crush (who will prob be entertaining all his friends).
This is what i miss about college. If you have a crush on some random and he's throwing a party, you can always get your partner in crime to throw back a shot with you and go crash it. hook up or not, you know you will have a smashing time with your friend. usually the party will suck and the two of you will end up hitting up your friendly neighborhood bar to get smashed and order cheesy fries.
the great thing about the interwebs is that i still get to bitch to said partner in crime on g-chat. she's trying to get me to go. updates will be made later if i actually do. happy halloweekend kids

so i've been keeping myself out of trouble by taking a lot of photographs with my 35mm. it's been a really fun hobby that I never knew I would enjoy as much as a do. Interestingly, i've gotten into some really happy, calm shots. trees, my family, pumpkins... It's good to find the joy in life.
There are lots of wonderful aspects to a semi-cloudy day, and i'm keen on capturing them.

The thing about cooking:
I love the experimentation. I love trying 5 recipes before coming up with your personal best version for yourself. Sometimes its a disaster (like when i tried to make cheddar broccoli soup from memory and with no measurements), and sometimes you actually make something work (get prepared for an epic mac and cheese recipe coming soon).
Speaking of which, I love old school jamie oliver back when he was the naked chef. i honestly used to watch the food network back when the only iron chef on was the original from japan that played every friday night. ming tsai had a show, and so did mario batali. There was none of this cutting corners crap that has overrun the network. I love to browse recipes for things, but the difficult homemade versions are hard to find (minus tyler florence, who i dream will one day come and rescue me atop a white horse and feed me his ultimate brunch menu). I digress. let's watch some naked chef.
