Fat spam

Categories:

Tue. August 8, 2006

I haven’t had Spam in a long while, so upon seeing the can of the stuff on the kitchen counter I went ahead and fried it up. I kind of regret it now. After starting, I looked at the label. It was the light variety of the….”meat”. However, 1/6 of the can contained 12g of fat. Holy crap. So, if you end up eating the whole thing, that’s 72g. Now, since it was already being cooked, I figured that I might as well eat it.

Now, there’s not much of it there. I mean, it’d be easy to eat the whole thing. It doesn’t feel ridiculously heavy, you know? Still, this meat is no part of a healthy diet–not even part of a semi-healthy diet.

I didn’t eat the whole thing. I passed a few slices to my parents. Even so, I feel guilty now. The scent of spam is stuck in my clothes as a reminder.

Restless mind

Categories:

Restless. If there’s any word to describe my current state of mind, it’s restless. I’m just about over my cold, and regaining my previous energy levels. The thing is, I don’t think my body has caught up yet. Let’s see…it’s like the fatigue is still plaguing myself, but the internal engines are burning away.

I’m waking up at normal hours, probably meaning that I’ve adjusted to this time zone already. I don’t think that’s an issue. However, during the day, I’m lacking in any activities that hold my interest. It’s gotten to the point where I’m just sleeping away the afternoon just because there’s nothing to do. So, I’ve taken this as an obvious sign that perhaps it’s time to start the job hunt again. It’s obviously a good thing. I need to get my mind going again.

Besides having a restless mind, I’m in desperate need of some socialization. I’ve been cooped up in the house for a very long time. I’m going insane.

Waiting at the starting line

Categories:

Tue. July 11, 2006

I think the cold is on its way out. My cough is starting to clear, and the headaches are weakening. I’m still sleeping excessively, but I’m hoping the fatigue will clear soon. I think the fatigue is really screwing with my ability to get over the time difference. I dunno. My body is so messed up right now.

I feel like I’m waiting at the starting line for the gunshot before scrambling, but the gunshot hasn’t come. There’s lots that I have to do. However, I’m having trouble envisioning any sort of resolution to my issues. Call it unfocused; I call it realistic.

Jet lag…maybe?

Categories:

Sat. July 8, 2006

More on my trip a little bit later. Meanwhile, I just wanted to say that I’m battling two evils right now. The first is jet lag. I’ve been knocked out for most of today. It’s not a good feeling. Although I’m not sure whether it’s the jet lag affecting me so much as it is the sickness that I’ve been afflicted with. I haven’t yet written about my last day in Tokyo–the day of my flight–but let me just say that I’ve become sick of it as a result. I have a cough, phlegm, and a fever. So, to tie that back to my tiredness, I’m not sure at all whether it’s the jet lag or the fever making me feel like crap. To be honest, it’s probably both.

I know, I know, I’ve been telling everyone that I’ll probably be out of service for at least a few days to get things back on track. However, I wasn’t expecting it to be this rough.
