stalking the photos of my beloved misfit world-washed friends is perhaps the closest I have to freedom at the moment. receiving them as greetings is just precious.

I'm on puzzle 271 on 'unblock me' since a friend kindly installed it on to my iphone during work today. this is perhaps the best game I have encountered and will potentially conquer since sudoku. I will take a screenshot via completion.

my 1 month vegetarian diet is going into effect starting today. thanksgiving is going to be hard.

Chick peas (200g or 7oz)	16.0g	Brown rice (200g or 7oz)	4.4g	1 Carrot	0.4g
Baked beans (225g or 8oz)	11.5g	Broccoli (100g or 3½oz)	3.1g	1 Apple	0.3g
Tofu (140g or 5oz)	10.3g	Potatoes (200g or 7oz)	2.8g	Cream, double (20g or 2/3oz)	0.3g
Cow's milk (½ pint)	9.2g	Porridge [water] (160g or 6oz)	2.4g	Butter/margarine	None
Lentils (120g or 4¼oz)	9.1g	-	-	Vegetable oil	None
Soya milk (½ pint)	8.2g	-	-	Sugar or syrup	None
Muesli (60g or 2¼oz)	7.7g	-	-	-	-
Egg, boiled	7.5g	-	-	-	-
Peanuts (30g or 1oz)	7.3g	-	-	-	-

Sample one day's meal plan to meet the RNI of 45g for an adult women.
Breakfast		Lunch		Evening meal
Muesli (60g or 2oz)	7.7g	Two slices of toast (80g or 3oz)	7.0g	Brown rice (200g or 7oz)	4.4g
Milk (¼ pint)	4.6g	Baked beans (225g or 8oz)	11.5g	Tofu (140g or 5oz)	10.3g
-	-	-	-	Vegetables, Fruit
TOTAL PROTEIN INTAKE 45.5g
An extra two slices of bread and ¼ pint of milk gives 11.6g protein and would easily reach male requirements of 55.5g/day.

I love seeing more freckles on my face. Sometimes I don't even want to wear make-ups anymore. not a fan of cake-faces. it's all make belief, anyways.

Hmm. My cat snores really loud. I love the sound of snoring, it's so comforting.

I thought this was ridiculously funny:

Dynamic Programming Algorithms: This class remembers older results and attempts to use this to speed the process of finding new results.

Greedy Algorithms: Greedy algorithms attempt not only to find a solution, but to find the ideal solution to any given problem.

Brute Force Algorithms: The brute force approach starts at some random point and iterates through every possibility until it finds the solution.

Randomized Algorithms: This class includes any algorithm that uses a random number at any point during its process.

Branch and Bound Algorithms: Branch and bound algorithms form a tree of subproblems to the primary problem, following each branch until it is either solved or lumped in with another branch.

Simple Recursive Algorithms: This type of algorithm goes for a direct solution immediately, then backtracks to find a simpler solution.

Backtracking Algorithms: Backtracking algorithms test for a solution, if one is found the algorithm has solved, if not it recurs once and tests again, continuing until a solution is found.

Divide and Conquer Algorithms: A divide and conquer algorithm is similar to a branch and bound algorithm, except it uses the backtracking method of recurring in tandem with dividing a problem into subproblems.

pretty sure I will need a "FFFFOUND" account, somewhere somehow. meanwhile, this will do.

I'm really sorry for reposting this, but this is just way, way cool and it would be a big waste to not spread the words. drug-electricity combo makes paralysed rats sprint.stole from/courtesy of janet melnyk & her friend daniel. :)

thumbs up from me!

mind is a razor blade:

- lotions, I need to buy some with this weather.
- feels like a techy lately with all these software configuration. much to learn, thank you google.
- BWIO = bottled water information office.

- I really want a custom balisong
- Photoshop-loving. Always something new to discover and enjoy.

- Animals prints, loving 'em.

- Energizing electro kittens

- I can totally change fuses now, thanks to my car. don't waste your money.

- great films lately: where the wild things are, the cove ( please go watch it.)
- bills bills bills
- mosa is getting really fat

- bengal cats, ashera = amazing

- god loves ugly

- they should totally impose the talking fish thing on children ( japanese prank). excessive mercury consumption can lead to minamata disease ( the film 'the cove' actually gives great details in regards to this)
- discovered an estuary by work. :) it was pretty.

- oh yeah. I made a word.
- I don't watch tv, but if I do now, I think I'll watch taxi cab only.
- I need to cut down my meat consumption ( beef rather ).
- I love epaulettes. I love them so much.
- I love oversized shirts and cardigans
- hello kitty ruined my life
- 7
- obsessed with unique prints. esp. the ones with hidden symmetry.
- finally went all out on halloween and made something and dressed up. couldn't find blood in time. still can't explain what I was but Im glad people liked it. Getting old now, ya know? :)
- I have 9 cameras that I don't use anymore since my G10 is taking over my soul. But I want to use them again. Don't want them to sit there and collect dust. these faithful babies don't deserve that, no.

- this foggy weather, I wish it was every single day.
- yaris
- November is 1029

edit : a few more things:

- amadou & mariam. they are rocking my soul. je pense a toi. et sobali.

- my beloved alpaca-wool flannel print blanket vest is keeping me warm in the cold morning. thanks k-san for hooking it up. :)

- must find my compass bracelet that went missing. that was my favorite bracelet. I feel very incomplete without it.

- 100 miles a day, nothing to me now.

- I feel like I should get tea in a cafe in NYC or SF or something and have a good conversation with lingering strangers. you can't really do that here can you? brainwashed by hype is the saddest thing. I wish people can have more things to talk about rather than what other people talk about.

- note: things to do via china-girl's return, as we planned to( did I mention gmail chat is the greatest thing, ever?) : vegas, rock climbing, petting zoo, cupcake decorating, home-made korean bbq, big sur (possibly again in the spring?), neeew york city.

- I still think Portuguese is the most beautiful language ever. Seu Jorge can serenade me, anytime, really.

- Turnoffs - dishonesty, name droppers.

- LED, they saved my life.

- My headphones, they saved my life, too.

- I miss you, you, and you. maybe.

- RIP, Dash Snow.

- haptic feedback is now something I use to describe quality.

- Galapagos syndrome (or Jalapagos) , one of the most interesting study in my humble opinion. here's an article on Japan.

- I want to go somewhere I have not yet been before.

- this google mobile app is beyond awesome. shazam, however, is pretty useless since it can never identify the music I listen to. sigh.

- buy it use it break it fix it

- I want to make love to Prince - Kiss, still. while intoxicated on wine, of course. my bum turns on automatically whenever I hear this song.

- Is it just me or lobster hunters are extremely smexy?

- There is nothing sexier than a geek and his/her computers. I'd like to have 7 monitors at least in the future. Although their purposes are still undefined.

- mmm. sexual chocolates

- shitmydadsays : "son, no one gives a shit about all the things your cell phone does. You didn't invent it, you just bought it. Anyone can do that."

- janzilla is triggered by incompetent technology

- sobali sobali

- major OCDs as of today: fire, door-knob locks, dishes.

- rolling around on the floor with a puppy and a kitty on each side can be incredibly fun. how can anyone not like animals?

- I want a tiger.

- I need new glasses and I will never get one of those big-framed korean pop star looking ones.

- angelino, i like this word.

- I'd like to take more pictures. yup.

- I wonder how hard a djembe is.

- loving my iPhone. Still refuses to buy games because with my ADD I will get carried away. I just updated this post with it ( and can provide much efficient updates from now on). booyakasha.

peace is, personal.

p.s. I talk to myself a lot, hope this is not a problem.
p.s.s. I will update this as much as I can. blogging is therapeutic.

"We are focusing on the small details and hiding the misery in the world. Look at the smoker and we miss global warming, war, and the crap we eat--not the bad guys but smoking. I smoke and they talk about cancer, I eat and they talk about cholesterol, I make love, it's AIDS. Before AIDS and cholesterol and cancer there's the pleasure of making love and eating and smoking. I have to die someday, so if the thing that gave me pleasure all of my life kills me instead of me going under a truck, that's fine. Besides, why should I live so that when I die I give fresh meat to the worms? I hope that I am rotted and they don't want to eat me. FUCK the worms.'It's fear that makes us lose our conscience. It's also what transforms us into cowards'. 'Life is absolutely unbearable. And we, are going to die. Life is life.'" - Marjane Satrapi.
