For dinner last night, I ate a wonderful ceaser salad of baby-leaf lettuce and spinach, marinated chicken breast, and garlic croutons. I really enjoyed it too.

I just thought I'd note that here since it's probably one of the few things I could write in my journal that would shock my mother, who has been trying to get me to eat such stuff my whole life and meeting little success.

I have a lot of problems with fruit and vegetables that are probably related to the rest of the strangeness in my brain (one of the more common problems people on the AS/autism spectrum have is difficulty eating some kinds of foods. For me it's mostly a texture problem.), but I'm getting better. I've determined that, as long as the leaves don't have any of the thicker stem parts I'm able to get through them and, in fact, enjoy them. I feel really good about this! I don't eat nearly enough healthy stuff.

Having done as much studying and practice test-taking as I can today without my head blowing up, I'm cleaning up my computer in preparation for a Windows reinstall on my primary system. I say primary but in actuality I hardly ever boot the thing up anymore 'cause my server is always on and it's much more convenient to just sit down there and check Livejournal and stuff. My main system, which I built for games with a 2GHZ AMD XP3000 and 512 MB, mainly just sits there because I never feel like I have enough time to play games. *sigh* Need to finish those classes. And get the apartment cleaned up. But ANYWAY...

While cleaing up my desktop, I found a book review I wrote up some time ago and never got around to posting. If I remember correctly, I wrote it over the course of a week or so while sitting in front of my computer at New Horizons before class started. I must have sucked it off my floppy disk when I got home (I didn't have a USB drive yet), plopped it on the desktop, and forgotten about it. So without further ado...

( My thoughts on Robin Cook's Abduction, just as they were written six months ago. (Hmm. Apparently there is no easy way to either emphasize something inside of an LJ-CUT tag or to put qoutation marks around it. I'll have to look into that at some point...) )

More miscellaneous junk that's been sitting on my desktop. Anybody want to see our cute, grey, mildly retarded kitty?
