I've discovered the world's best TV dinners: Marie Callender's Complete Dinner. A three course meal with meat, a staple, and veggies, easily prepared in the microwave in under 10 minutes. Last night I had roast beef in gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, and crisp green beans. And you know what? The dinner was exactly that! Tasted restaurant quality. Even the potatoes had nearly the right texture. 4 for $10 at Safeway this week. How do you do it, Marie Callender?

Speaking of TV dinners, I noticed a phenomenon. ALL makers of TV dinners include among their choices Salsbury Steak. It must be some kind of inside joke.

I had my first and only experience of motion sickness on the way back from Mexico. More info to come.

I've been really wishing I could just totally abandon the idea of relationships with women. I've been through the "Want it gotta have it" phase, and the "Damn, I'm lonely, I wish I had someone" phase, and the "It's a big waste of time and energy" phase, and now I'm moving into an "I wish those feelings would just stop bothering me." phase. I'm growing bitter, and that's not good, but there seems to be no other path. I question whether or not I will ever surrender the topic to the Lord enough for Him to let me actually build a lasting relationship (i.e. marriage). But is the Lord's arm really so short that my unconscious refusal to let Him handle it can actually prevent Him from doing so? I hope not.

I'm wearing my favorite shirt today, and I enjoy reading science textbooks.
