Monday the 23rd
Higher Grounds Coffee
A forewarning – this will be a shorter post, as I am looking forward to a soup/coffee date with a girlfriend in a few minutes. It’s probably a good thing, because I realize that many of my writings have turned into essays of epic proportions. If only homework flowed so easily.
Here’s a brief list of new things in the life of DeGraff…
- I have started eating more organic food. I know, it’s shocking. I have always been the scoffer of vegans [and still am, mostly because I think their rants on soy and stealing honey from bees are oppressive], however I have recently gravitated towards a healthier and less-processed diet. Due to long hours spent in either a prayer room or a classroom, my body has decided to make some [ahem] changes…and so I am retaliating with some changes of my own. Plus organic milk tastes so much better! Trust me…it’s worth the extra dollar. Also on the list is this amazing organic granola with dark chocolate and almonds. I really can’t explain to you why it is lower in fat than regular granola but it is oh so tasty. Another thing I’m trying out is the Bragg’s raw vinegar. When mixed with all natural apple juice it is nice and tangy and actually gives me a great boost of energy. Supposedly the Bragg’s helps you detox..we’ll see. I’m also in the process of drinking a cup of chai tea in the AM instead of [approximately 32 oz of] coffee throughout the day.
- I am now on Twitter! This action-packed social networking tool [vice] gives me something to do for those 45 seconds of boredom at stop-lights, between sips of organic coffee [I mean chai], and while detoxing [n/c]. Actually I really love it because via Drudge Report and various news stations it keeps me up to date on news and gives me a great outlet for witty comments/observations/roasts/etc. Check it out by clicking on one of the many “Follow Me” birds floating around on my blog =)
- I have happily installed NetNewsWire on my laptop and am now following blogs! Yes that’s right, I am following you and reading about your mostest deepest darkest secrets that you have posted online ;) Actually this has become a highlight of my freetime! I am now feeling much more in-the-loop regarding my friends’ lives and hope it stirs me to start blogging more frequently. I have also taken a liking to several entertainment based blogs, including Totally Looks Like, Stuff White People Like, and Epic Wins (from when we were kids). Yeah, I’m a dork, but it’s just more fun that way.
- Ten minutes ago I had a [dyslexic] epiphany of why I have always confused Sigmund Freud and Siegfried & Roy. There’s your sign folks, it’s time for coff… err chai…and soup.
Until we meet again =)

I’m with you on the organic — I don’t like it when it becomes a religion, but I honestly think it’s more healthy…less pesticides, milk without the growth hormones…
