today i made the coffee much too strong, but am drinking it resolutely.
i added the remains of the vegan whipped kreme from saturday's grill-out, but it's not really helping, just making me drink faster. when you give something up, it is better to let it go completely, instead of hanging onto semblances of it. black coffee is better than coffee with soymilk, fruit is better than vegan jello, and when you cleanse yourself of earthly things, it's really all got to go. detachment implies attachment, right?*
today marks the beginning of my third week as food ambassador at outpost, until the end of which i swore i would not pass judgment on whether or not i enjoy the position/will stay on. i am dangerously ambivalent on the subject. i sort of dread going to work, but i cannot tell if it is me, the nature of the work, of the combination of the two.
if anyone needs an interpreter/printmaker/seamstress, you do not need to knock down my door, it is unlocked.
*i hope this isn't an inappropriate reference, but yesterday i got stuck on the first page of the Iqan, and it was bound to come out somehow.
