Matter over Mind

I keep falling asleep in the afternoons. I've been really tired all week, and no matter what I try, it just happens. I had every intention of translating some Greek, but even after I drank a cup of coffee, I was out like a light. *Sigh* Doesn't my body understand that I have work to do, and that it shouldn't just knock me out whenever it wants?? Mind over matter MY ASS.

Valentine's Day

This year, Michael and I plan to celebrate Valentine's Day as we have for the past three or so years. We are going to order a pizza (something a little more exotic than we usually get) and watch television as usual (we don't go out on Valentine's Day). For dessert, we will enjoy strawberry soda with strawberry ice cream (one of Michael's favorite desserts). Fun stuff. Tonight I'm making mini-cupcakes to put in the common room of the philosophy department. I like to bake, especially for people who don't get to enjoy baked goods very often (many graduate students). Hey, Peter....I just had a thought: too bad you aren't around the department anymore. Now that you aren't a raging vegan, you'd be able to partake of the joy. Why mini-cupcakes, some of you may wonder? Well, I received a nifty cake carrier for Christmas that has slots for mini muffins, but the biggest reason is that I feel like punching people who say, "Well, I would have had one, but I didn't feel like eating a whole cupcake." A whole cupcake. Like it's an effort. What are you, an infant?? A supermodel?? Just eat it or be truthful and say that you don't like sweet snacks, etc., or that you fear my cooking. Anyway, I'm excited about these cupcakes, because they are going to be chocolate sour cream cupcakes with cream cheese icing and sprinkles. Tasty.
