I am actually making a post about oatmeal.

I hereby thank tylik for teaching me that if you dump some oat bran in a bowl with water and microwave it for 3 minutes, you get delicious hot breakfast cereal exactly the consistency that I like. This is not quite as exciting to me as the new flame, but it's surprisingly close.

I eat both breakfast and lunch at work every day. I strongly prefer to eat things that I can buy as 1 or 2 ingredients at the grocery store, keep in the freezer or desk drawer, dump in the microwave if necessary, and eat.

Because I've been doing this for a while, my available hot foods include broccoli, spinach, frozen peas, strawberry-and-cream soup, toast-and-cottage-cheese, sausage with potatoes, and scrambled eggs. And now hot cereal.

(I'll also eat canned stew and hot pockets, but I tend to keep those in reserve for when the fresh stuff runs out. I don't go to the store often enough to keep things like spinach constantly available.)

Me and Bert, baby. Me and Bert.

TODAY is the last day to support "Tulpa, or Anne&Me"

Last day signal boost for "Anne&Me". I'm still really excited about this project, and hope the funding comes through. Repost below.

On January 12 at 11:59pm EST, the IndieGoGo campaign for my play, Tulpa, or Anne&Me is ending. Although people have supported the project by contributing a total about $1,700, there is still $1,300 to go.

Let’s break this down mathematically. If only 130 people on LiveJournal each donate just $10 TODAY, Tulpa, or Anne&Me will reach its fundraising goal.

With so many conversations going on about who gets to tell POC stories, the importance of things like “Shit White Girls Say … To Black Girls,” the release of George Lucas’ Red Tails, and otherwise being an ally supporting POC voices in arts and entertainment, your contribution sends a message that it matters to you that POC stories find their way on stage and screen, that it matters who tells these stories, that it matters who benefits from these stories, and that it matters who gets to witness these stories.

Tell the world this matters to you. Take a couple of moments to say so now.

P.S. If you are sick and tired of first-person shooters starring square-jawed White dudes, you should check out and support the Arkh Project too.
