a bit of a grind
do you ever think about going vegan? or is it just me? because david is a vegetarian, there is no meat in the house (unless i bring it in, as i did last night with the barbeque take-out), though there are eggs and dairy (no ice cream, though, or butter, and rarely there is cow's milk for david's tea). that means that most of the time, i am an ovo-lacto vegetarian. before moving to japan, i had all but given up meat and dairy--only eating these foods very rarely. in japan, however, my eating habits changed so that i began to incorporate more familiar foods like yogurt and even sometimes ice cream. (i ate yogurt almost everyday, but ice cream very rarely.) when i came back, i continued to eat yogurt (or drink kefir) almost every day. anyway, as i said, most days i am a vegetarian, but i really lack the commitment to vegetarianism that david has. if there's meat, i'll eat it. (though i find myself totally unable to eat fish anymore, which is strange because i hoovered up fish in the form of sushi in japan regularly.) and if i lack the commitemnt to vegetarianism, i know that i would lack the commitment to veganism. but i still am tempted by veganism. it's not so much the food as the philosophy, though in general, i lack the commitment to philosophy in all forms. yawn. today was a slow day. judi lent me a novel (amy tan's saving fish from drowning that i have been working my way through very slowly. it's not a very interesting book. all the characters in tan's novels all seem to selfish. there isn't one of them who is ultimately likeable, and i have a lot of trouble feeling any sympathy for any of them. of course, this analysis is based on having read two of tan's previous novels (the joy luck club and the kitchen god's wife). mostly i'm reading it because judi lent it to me. it's a bit of a grind at the moment.
