Steam 2 cups chopped mustard greens. Turn off the heat when the greens go limp. Toss with a little malt vinegar.
Halve and remove the yolks from four hard-boiled eggs. Mash the yolks with 1 tablespoon of mayonaise, 1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger, a dash of salt and 1 teaspoon paprika. Add a dash of vinegar.
Spoon the yolk filling into the halved eggs, and place on top of the greens in a bowl.
Serve warm, with soup and a splash of vinaigrette.
I just stood in a rainstorm, wearing my bathrobe and clogs, staring up at the night sky and down at the four inches of snow on the ground, getting dripped on and grinning like a madwoman. I’m remembering rainstorms past, dancing in the rain. I’m remembering water drops hitting my skin after a sweat lodge.
It’s crazy to have weather like this right now. And I don’t care, because I love it.
I was just realizing that I have two people to thank for my joyful disposition. My mother for giving me the desire, the craving for it, and ananadabrat, for teaching me how.

A friend of mine asked
does anybody actually feel confident?
I replied
I’ve been thinking about confidence lately. I’ve been talking to a friend a lot, trying to just help through a rough time, and working on confidence. -Being sure to the point where it feels reasonable to not expect everyone to hate em, expect that people will be decent and kind. It’s hard work, and it got me thinking.
Confidence in what, exactly? I’m starting to think there’s no magical “I have confidence”. I think it’s situational. In my last couple years, I realize that I feel confident that when I meet someone new, they’re going to at least like my personality. Confident that I don’t come across as arrogant like I used to. Sometimes those are small things, sometimes bigger. I’m slowly getting confident that my body moves how I think it does, and that I’m not unpleasant to look at. It’s a process, and it started being easier to see when I started breaking it apart.
Working with this friend, we work on confidence that people like em. Confidence that people won’t just up and leave em abruptly. Small things, but important. There’s others to be tackled.
I have a Tiger for x86 VMWare Image that I’ve been playing with for a while. Turns out that the latest QEMU can run it. All it took was using the Darwin boot loader, setting platform=X86PC, and then qemu -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -hda myimagefile. I’m pretty impressed. Go QEMU!

Don’t use GoDaddy. Besides, do you like looking at all those ads to register a name? For that matter, don’t use Network Solutions either, because they’re pain.
MouseHole is a personal web proxy written in Ruby. Some ideas for scripts I had were:
I wish that mouseHole scripts could intercept by MIME type rather than by URL. That’d be awesome.
