In effort to conserve money, I started going to McDonald's last week for their $1 burgers. During one visit, I found the deliciousness of the McDonald's Double Cheeseburger. By this past Wednesday, I've sworn off the double cheeseburger for a while, and perhaps McDonald's, but we'll see how I feel next week. From last week to this Wednesday, I converted from 3 McChickens to 3 Double Cheeseburgers, and the result was Wednesday's lunch was the greasiest I've had in a very long time.
The next step in cost cutting measures is homemade sandwiches. There is, of course, the standard fair of putting eggs/tuna/turkey/ham, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes with mayonnaise or mustard on them. But I feel like something more outlandish, and something warm. I suppose I could just nuke the sandwich just before I eat it. Any suggestions? Then all I'd have to do is get to Safeway. Curses to not having a car!
A plot idea I came up with today is trapping people in an elevator after a power outage. I could trap one person in there as a frame story for the music sequences I've talked about previously. Or I could trap a few people, and either use that as a frame story for the music sequences or record their interaction. Maybe I'll cut one of the pieces, and have someone tell a story, and spend the rest of the time with the interaction.
Finished Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. There's no real plot to it, just meditations on time. A few were interesting, like "Time is local", but largely they were forgetable, such as "There is no time; there are only images." A very odd passage in 10 June 1905 ("Time cannot be measured; it is a quality.") has people who try to measure time turned to stone. Most people would probably find this book pretty pointless.
Next on the reading list is Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Though I have to wait til Tuesday before I can pick it up from the library.
