I ATE THE GRAPEFRUIT

And that was a very poor decision.

Remember when I said that cutting it in half and segmenting it with a knife would be "time consuming"?

Haha!

I peeled that betch like an orange. All the rind was off except that white stuff. So I peeled that off. 10 minutes later I ripped off a segment and took a bite.

My, was that fruit a Bitter Betty. Maybe it's because i dropped it on the floor and then tore all of its skin off. Or maybe it's because that's what Grapefruits do.

So I realized the see through skin that holds the whole fruit together was too bitter to eat so I had to get rid of it.

So i separated every little bead of grapefruit from the skin.
It was time consuming to say the least.

After 45 minutes I had a bowl full of shredded grapefruit and a pile of refuse.

I wanted neither.

THE GRAPEFRUIT QUANDARY

So I've been away from my blog for a while. It happens to everyone. Things come up.
School, daily bus rides, hunger pangs.
It was one of those aforementioned pangs of hunger that prompted me to write today. That image above is a picture of my grapefruit that I have selected for eating to quell the pangs.
Don't get excited though, this post is pretty much pointless; I just don't know how to eat my grapefruit.
It took me a few hours of Hungry to realize that I wanted to eat. And what better to eat than a large citrus that smells delicious and tastes sweet AND sour at the same time (and for real, not like the claims of the Red Sauce that comes with chicken balls)?
I went to the fridge, pulled out the bag of grapefruit, proceeded to drop one on the floor, whimpered as it bounced off the stove then picked it up and washed it.
Now I don't know what to do.
I could peel it like an orange, but the white pithy stuff on grapefruits is more obnoxious than that on oranges, and the skin is thicker. Plus your hands get all covered in wax and juice. It's a mess. But easy to eat.
I could (as is the usual case) slice this sucker in half then meticulously cut each segment free so that I can scoop 'em up with a spoon, but this method is time consuming and leaves much of the grapefruit stuck forever to the rind. However, if I don't want the whole thing I can save half for later. Contrariwise, I am pretty hungry after all of this quandering*.

Then there's the salt/sugar/plain dilemma.
I'm all in a tizzy.

I might just eat grapes.

WE MOVE IN 2 WEEKS!

That's it.

POLL!

This is Mikey, the teddybear I made for one of my besties a while back. Remember? I told you about it. Remember? Whatever, here's a picture so that you can determine whether he in fact does or does not look like a pig.

Regardless, he's cute.

TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT

When it's not being a bitch.

Wireless Router- busted

Antivirus Updater- not working due to aforementioned router issues

My Boyfriend's Hardrive- toast

T9 On My Cell- unbelievably slow for an impatient child such as myself

My Mp3 Player- keeps shorting out from the static in the freezer at work

Okay that's pretty much it, but it's a fairly long list when you just want something to work.

In other news: 5 Weeks Until moving day. Unbearably excited.

BOOM SHAKE NOW I'M AWAKE

Today was a freezer day at work. This was mostly because I didn't to deal with customers and partially because I was enjoying the knowledge that I was actually accomplishing something. What got me through hours spent in the -17 degree Celsius walk-in freezer was Rob Thomas' new album Cradlesong. Ooh my lordy, it's a good one. Now what tends to happen with my family and movies, music and inventions is we like something we've discovered and we tell people and they scoff. 2 months later it is THE BIGGEST THING EVER KNOWN. Harry Potter for example, I received the first book for my 8th birthday and my mother told me "the lady in the bookstore said her kids really enjoyed this book. I don't know if it's any good, but it looked interesting". Yeah it was good. BAM! Everyone adores Harry Potter. Anyway, Rob Thomas. Excellent new album. Fave tracks would have to be Gasoline, RealWorld 09, and Give Me the Meltdown. After Her Diamonds dies out a bit on radio one of those four are going to be ginormously popular. Guaranteed. I'm exhausted and will soon be sleeping, but I had to get that information out there to go on the record of the amazingness of this album.

OH THE CREATIVITY TO ENSUE!

One of my best friends cleaned out her closet last night and I was present for the proceedings. I collected a few articles of clothing to wear as well as some materials from which to invent and fabricate purses and gifts and wondrous things. I made a teddy bear today. It looks like a pig.

Whatever.
