Miracle

Miracle

Multiplying the loaves and the fishes.

For those of you who like to keep current on the mundane aspects of my life, the consumable items pictured above (at least those on this side of the looking glass) have been the staples of my special “bread and tuna” diet, a practical survival strategy throughout my infamous eight-month “lost weekend” from the workforce in 2007. I have re-entered said force, but the diet remains prudent while I play catch-up. In addition to the pictured items, the diet is supplemented by water, vitamin pills, cereal, coffee, soda, and the occasional excursion into madness, in which I am defeated by the irresistible urge to eat out.

I am supposed to get my first paycheck this week.  (Please don’t let something go wonky with the deposit!) Until then, no such excursions into madness are permissible.

I’m currently reading a book about the history of animation (thanks, Santa!) and it’s helping to unclog my brainstorming pipes; even though I’m not lifting techniques directly from the pages, the mere fact that I’m reading about them helps my own ideas to swim around in my mind more freely.  Does that make sense?

In the meantime, be sure to chew something for a little longer than usual today… and while it’s smooshing around in your mouth, think about how awesome it is to eat.

Happy new year!
