I Forgot
I forgot about my blog for a while. I’ve been on a blog vacation. I wish that I could say that I’ve been busy studying for the GRE, which I’m taking this Friday. But in actuality I’ve been watching The Hills, etc. Anyway, what’s going on now? Well, I’m sitting here, yes, watching The Hills (it’s on now!) thinking about quitting Splenda cold turkey. For a while I was quite ashamed of my Hills fanaticism. Jessi and Dan have it much, much worse, though. Much worse. These are two individuals who apparently are in charge of the MTV after show for the series each week and recapping what has just happened, like what has just happened is ever so complicated as to warrant commentary of this sort. This must be miserable. I am sad for Jessi and Dan and am even convinced that they have no input regarding what they wear. Because last week Dan had on some asymmetrical button-down shirt in a drab khaki color, with one collar off center, way larger, and twisted around the neckline. This is not a happy existence. Eating lots of Splenda is probably not a happy thing to be doing, either, so I’m going to try to quit. Part of the reason that I eat so much of it is that I have a wicked sweet tooth. But it’s also free, or rather freely available, in, well, many work places. Taking the Splenda and poisoning myself with it is passive aggressive. There must be another, healthier, way. Post Its?
Coincidentally, I gave up Splenda a few weeks ago for natural unprocessed cane sugar…so far, so good.
i’m with hrag. not romantically, but gastro-philosophically. organic cane sugar’s the way to go … you can eat it with a spoon! who knows how they make splenda, but i’m bettin’ it will show up somewhere between dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and thalidomide in the merck manual.
