my love for...

By Tonight: Say AnythingI am absolutely obsessed with this song right now...it is quite bad but honestly so great.  I mean I have loved Say Anything for years now and they keep on surprising me and winning me over with Max Bemis's sexy voice. 

I also sketched out my next painting.  I am unsure of the size of the pattern, maybe bigger?  I do not know.  I am doing this just for the heck of it and to get it out of my mind.  Hopefully sometime during the summer I can have a show up in the coffee shop and work towards being in the DM Art Festival as an Emerging Artist.  There probably is underlying meaning in this piece but, honestly, I just love patterns and just feel that the work I want to do currently is based mainly for home decor, not to be avant-garde off the wall business. (eat that sir)

Anywho I need to write some Art History assignment quick and head back to my apartment and eat some g-f stuff.

adieu.

not my rye bread reubens!

Today is my first day of my two week attempt of being Gluten-Free!  I just had lunch so no big task, I just do not know what I am going to do with the pop-tarts, pancakes and pizza rolls that I still have, I really am gonna miss them.  I am trying this due to a suspicion that I have this intolerance.  This all sprung about last semester after I had a bad stomach cramp-like-thing that lasted over 24 hours and a random bump appear under my left rib.  Low and behold all miraculous doctor (not trying to discredit any doctors, it just was not my usual one I saw since I was freaking that my pancreas or something was bursting-I just am not thrilled by his diagnosis) diagnosed me with heart burn... .... ...really...heart burn, for 24+ hours and no other case of it before this bad(?!)...even with this strange hard bump...yep heart burn.  And the strange bump just happened to be a joyful little piece of cartilage floating in my abdomen, I was given no reason why it was possibly there just casually brushed off...for him, I on the other hand am still quite irritated that I wasn't given a possible reason how it got there and still wonder how. 


But any who, I talked to a professor who I know is gluten-free and she advised me to try and go a few weeks without gluten.  I am thinking this is going to be quite a difficult task since (a) I am quite broke and fancy food is expensive, (b) I have no clue really what to get - besides what is in the designated 'Gluten-Free' section of Hy-Vee, and (c) my pizza rolls are taunting me.  So I bought some gluten-free brownie mix and bread and made myself an egg and cheese sandwich for lunch...

  ...yeah, did not hold together so well.  And if you may not know, I hate foods that are difficult to eat, ie. muffins...how the hell do you eat them, thus making them my nemesis for life (I will occasionally eat them but I will rip them apart piece by piece in angst).  Only time will tell how long I am able to stick to this, I might relapse soon to devour the gluten food I have already in my cupboards.  So now I am going to be looking at recipes so I can eat.
