We moved into the new house! The cats are back! Oliver and his family came to visit!

Damn, I found the most awesome book trolling Wikipedia for information on posionous mushrooms. Its theory is that Christianity was a sex/hallucinogenic drug cult and Jesus WAS the mushroom. OMG! Too bad it's so hard to get a hold of.

I bought The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook and I've basically been gorging myself on cheez. I am apparently "doin it wrong" because the agar (vegan gelatin) set up and it turned into a tasty but very uncheeselike spread. Also I have yet to get the right balance of lemon juice to citric acid, and my mozzarella turned out very sour...eww. The chedda had more or less the right amount of citric acid but it was still a little overpowering so I'll definitely cut down the next time I make it. I'm also an idiot and I don't know what cheese tastes like so I'm like "Whoa this tastes just like cheese!" and apparently it doesn't. I'm almost out of my nutritional yeast and my pee is turning neon yellow from the crazy B-Complex. Also, flax seed (not oil) is a LAXATIVE. Be aware.

The new house is pretty awesome. It's located really near everything and it's not on some twisty road in the mountains...I get my own bathroom and the cats have stopped fighting and love eachother again. Yay! I bought a desk from Craigslist so the only downside now is that I have a million boxes in my room and I have some nasty-ass bruises all over my legs....

It was really great having Oliver and his family come to visit...we went to hike at this place called Sugarloaf mountain and then went to Pearl Street and kind of passed out from the heat...

I was lonely after he left, so I put an ad on Craigslist looking for friends...I actually got one response from a pretty cool sounding guy so we might have coffee this weekend. I've also gotten a response from "grababootienpinch" and two guys from Texas, one of whom thought that Bubble tea was a Texas phenomenon. These have been quietly shoved aside. It's kind of embarrassing posting on Craigslist or whatever, but I figure if things go terribly wrong (a la my "showing Conspirators of Pleasure to a group of people I hardly knew" incident) I won't be in Boulder again for some time. So take that, bitches!

My mom brought home a CD today and asked if I knew the band. At first I thought it was Amandine and I got super excited, but then I realized it was the Arcade Fire album Funeral with an album cover I wasn't familiar with. So now my mom is turning into an indie snob, just like me! Although, I'm not sure if she'll honestly like them...She'll probably think they're bad singers.

Oliver lent me a book called Summerland which is sort of like American Gods for kids with baseball. The baseball is kind of turning me off, but there was a pixie in it, so I kept reading. We'll see if the faeries outweigh the baseball. It actually has kind of a Sam Snoozle feel to it, which I like (no one is gonna get this reference so just keep on movin'.)

Roger, over and out.
