Please...

Not the meatloaf. Anything but the meatloaf!

Anyway, has it really been a week since I updated? Shame on me. Since our last episode, I've restarted my RVLDP (...lmnopq) class.

I'm really glad I get the chance to go back and finish my course. When I dropped out, I really felt like a failure, but the simple fact is I had bitten off more than I could chew and it was a very difficult time in my life. And as good as it feels to get my toes back into the nonprofit world, I'm far more realistic now about how much I can commit to this work. Typically, my enthusiasm far exceeds my energy and skills, but I'm determined to keep it in perspective this time, learn as much as I can, help as much as I can, and still keep some sense of balance within my life.

I'm still in the process of negotiating the project with the Potential Employer. After a very long meeting scouting locations last week, I had expected to get a final decision on where the office would be located, but I haven't heard back yet, and now Mr. Maybe Boss is out of town for the remainder of the week. We shall see.

I managed to snag ten free days of fitness from a local gym. So far, they completely rock and you can guess the first thing I'll do when I get paying work again. (That is, after the manicure, pedicure, wax, hair styling...)

Oh, and if you're looking for the best raspberry martinis in the entire world, you can't go wrong here. Had a screaming good time Sunday, and can't wait to go again. Mmmmmm. West Hollywood.

That's it for now, off to the gym, then the grocery store.

Note:

You'll notice I still haven't posted the Eddie review. I can't. There aren't any words that convey the facial expressions, ad-libbing about dust motes, cha-chaing with the microphone stand, riffing about organized religion, the names of the saints & names of the books of the bible, and anthropomorphizing spiders. And the eyebrows. My lord, those eyebrows. ::sigh::

Damn, it's good to be me.

Fuck.

I left a comment this morning bemoaning the fact that you headed me off at the meatloaf pass by posting today.

Alas, the comment triple posted AND had spelling errors.

The comment I just left explaining my deletions had a significant grammar error, so I deleted it too.

You win. I hang my head in shame.

Damnit.

1. I WIN!

2. Whew. No meatloaf.

3. 'Headed you off at the meatloaf pass' has to be the greatest phrase yet committed to the internet. Wheee!

4. I'm too fussy, so I did you the favor of deleting the multiple 'this post has been removed by the author' messages. You can thank me later.

awwww... i was looking forward to hearing about the meatloaf...

(pulls cute sad puppy face which unfortunately none of you non-meatloaf-story-telling motherfuckers can see.)

btw, the next time i'm in LA you are SO taking me for rasberry martinis.

Lee: The first law of meatloaf thermodynamics is that meatloaf cannot be created or destroyed.

In other words, it just is. Meatloaf is apportioned out by the cosmos, like karma, and its absence here does not mean that it does not exist elsewhere. Because it does, it really does.

In other words, look for meatloaf-related comments on your blog sometime in the next couple of days.

To Her Kittyness:

1. Yes, you win. For now.

2. Well, technically I ended up leaving a meatloafy comment here anyway, after a fashion. But that doesn't really count as it was directed at Lee. I will unleash my meatloaf wrath upon him, sparing you. But if you go without blogging for an extended period of time again, one word: Sasquatch.

3. It's "the internets." Have you learned nothing from our president?

4. Thank you.

i'm still grappling with your meatloaf bombshell, the_bone. if what you say is true, meatloaf would appear to be some kind of cosmic substance somewhere between matter (dense, dentition-damaging foodstuff) and spirit (karmic ur-substance), not unlike like ectoplasm. but i'm still confused. like, is the earthly manifestation of meatloaf always as hard as a gansta's heart? is there like a guide to it's various incarnations - a sort of meatloaf periodic table, maybe? when victorian mediums conjured spirits, were they in actual fact made out of a sort of vaporous meatloaf? because that would be pretty gross. does eating meatloaf bring you closer to oneness with the universe, and if so, is 50 cent more godly than me?

i'm going to kill a goat now, and meditate on these things, secure in the knowledge that your answers will soon appear in random unexpected link captions.

your humble student.

Rolling up my rhetorical sleeves, diving in:

1. Your meatloaf-as-ectoplasm theory is intriguing. Personally, I think that meatloaf is actually the so-called dark matter of the universe.

2. I think a meatloaf periodic table, or something similar is appropriate. The meatloaf cooked by my sainted mother at el castillo del hueso was much lighter in texture than the meatloaf indigenous to Queens, NY upon which 50 Cent cut his teeth (ha!) as a youth. This implies that some sort of meatloaf classification system (possibly similar to the Linnean nomenclature used by the biological sciences) is long overdue.

3. 50 Cent is indeed more godly than you, but that has less to do the meatloaf and more to do with the fact that he was once shot nine times.

Having been raised as a good agnostic empiricist (i.e., an Episcopalian), I know that the first law of thermodynamics states (in a nutshell) that energy cannot be created or destroyed. And if meatloaf is just a dense and discrete form of dark matter (as I postulated previously), and if it follows that most dark matter in the universe is composed of a stranger element called "dark energy," then it is clear that meatloaf follows physical laws that we cannot even begin to comprehend.

This leads us to an obvious conclusion. Meatloaf is God.

I would do anything for the love of God... but I won't do that.

I don't think I've ever been so happy to have a blog. *basks in the meatloafiness of it all*

Cosmos Feline: Over on my site, you left a comment along the lines of "meatloaf-as-unified-field-theory." A fantastic insight. Well played.

Incidentally, that comment not only brought this whole line of scientific inquiry to its logical conclusion. but forced you to participate in your own meatloaf-facilitated humiliation.

I win.

As the lovely ladies of Veruca Salt once opined: "Can't fight the Seether." You win.
