i spent the afternoon working on my comps lists (168 books! too many),
although to do so at this point is not necessary and i should be working
on a seminar paper/presentation. i thought for awhile about getting an
ebook reader but then the library is free. so. i went out and
had a molasses sundae.

maybe i will take the train (california zephyr) back from los angeles in december. 40 hours! we did it before,
from la to seattle, but this time i'd be by myself, unless braxton
decides to come to ca instead of going to minnesota. the train
might be fun, tho, & pretty, & is only $50 more than a plane ticket.

snowstorm!!



so pretty. classes were cancelled! even better.
we were out running errands & i didn't know, so
i ran up to the classroom but no one was there :o



i love the chili i made last night. i think it will become a staple.

2 cans black beans
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1 red bell pepper (seeded)
1 jalapeño (seeded)
2 carrots
2 sticks celery

1 tbls marjoram
1 tbls oregano
1 tbls chili powder
1 tbls cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 1/2 salt
1/2 tsp coriander
juice of 1/2 lemon

onion+ garlic in olive oil 3-5 min
add carrots, celery, bell pepper, jalapeno & cook till tender
add beans (the whole can, with the water they're in)
add spices, lemon juice
cook 20-30 mins

the recipe is from the cafe brenda cookbook, and she adds 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate which i didn't have, but i bet that wld be good, too.

i went to whole foods to get stuff
for making chili tonight & a basmati rice/red lentil
soup tomorrow, and when i was waiting for the bus
to come back home i kept thinking everything
smelled like dog shit and trying to hold
my breath. then when i got off the bus
near our house the world still smelled like
shit. there is a wind coming from a certain direction;
it is the stockyards. i haven't ever seen them
but there must be a horde of cattle, to smell so bad.

halloween [Oct. 25th, 2009|04:55 pm]
we need to go get pumpkins still... i miss the east coast & the beautiful
apple orchard with the tiny graveyard in the midst of it, where we got
our pumpkins when we lived in providence. i don't know anywhere in denver
to get pumpkins that's like that. even in ca. the pumpkin patch was magic, pumpkins
swooping between citrus trees near the sea.



this year i'm going to be a pioneer girl with a fox mask. were-pioneer?

this, someday soon.
otherwise, computing. impressed by snow.
i wore my fur coat and braxton said i looked
like a teddy bear wandering the neighborhood
(+ dome umbrella) when i left for the bus stop.
i will try to watch some dark shadows now, suck
a few cups of tea. the cat is slightly damp.

butternut squash soup. i was going to draw a face on the squash and
dub it 'sammy chan junior' and send a photo to marc & yuri, but
i peeled it before i recalled we'd wanted to do that. so it
is roasting in the oven now with an onion, garlic and carrots.
i ought to start making braxton's halloween shirt (we're
going to be be pioneers in wolf/fox masks) & email
a professor re: a seminar paper topic... it is cold out & cozy here.

tomorrow to the mountains.
yesterday we went to black & read
& i shopped at goodwill while braxton
browsed records. i got a couch (i hate
the one we've had all year, this one is cuter)
& ski gloves to replace the ones i lost
when we went skiing in march. then he dropped
me off in boulder to meet christine, joanna &
corrine for christian bok's reading at the cu
campus. he was wonderful. here is a video
of him performing the aria of the three horned enemy
from an opera called 'princess of the stars' whilst inside
a large puppet upon the prow of a canoe upon a remote lake
in northern canada, to which the audience had to backpack.
i read parts of eunoia on google books last night;
it is surprisingly narrative.

my laptop will be here wednesday and then i will be functioning again.

i got this book & i am excited.




visit [info]birdsoflace to get one.

i also got this game, & when my laptop comes i'll
be able to play it.




otherwise, coiling in a sweater,
drowning in tea, reading loving with a
vengeance
, feeling drifty
and wishing my laptop wld come now.
and then sometimes i look at guerlain lipstick,
and yesterday i made yam soup by roasting 4 yams
and then pureeing them with 2 c milk and 1.5 c
stock and 2 tblspns of coriander. it was sweet,
and warm. also yesterday, an update
http://persephassa.com and more to come,
but now i think i will take a moment away.

there is snow all over everyone's roof,
up & down the street. when i woke
up, it was there.

my laptop is busted so it is hard to do anything.
i'm using braxton's desktop but i'm not used to it.
a new laptop will come in some days.

i have gravenstein apple juice & cinnamon sticks.
it is winter i guess. i have my red thermals on and
the heat is on and the cats are sleeping.
