Still Bored

Job is starting to piss me off. Taking up too much time doing nothing. When I was a kid I got Nintendo Power magazine. I don't anymore, and don't really want to anymore. The only game I really play is Madden and Legend of Zelda games. And the occsional old school style RPG (Golden Sun being one of them). Advance Wars was also tight. I wish I had my gameboy right now. I'd be playing Mario Kart or Golden Sun. Sitting here doing jack shit is particularly agravating today. I want to leave right now. And I am hungry. I am trying to get rid of these speakers. I've fully loaded my 1GB MP3 player with 215 songs. I like putting in on shuffle and having random songs come up. I have everything on there from Stevie Wonder to Enrique Iglesias and Andrew W.K. I am using the Nickle Metal-Hydride recharable batteries in it now. They are holding up as well as the alkaline. I added an automatic random picture selector for the banner pic on the site. Now all I have to do to add a picture is drop the right size picture into a folder and it automatically adds it to the rotation. Oh yeah I started taking pictures of my meals so soon they will be apart of the rotation. I found replacements for the software I use on Windows for Mac OSX. Everything is covered there. Sitting here doing nothing is annoying. Particularly because I have a lot of things I need to do. Weekend will be busy no doubt. According to FedEx my Powerbook is still sitting in some Shanghai facility. Creep from Radiohead just finished playing.

I am really hungry. What am I going to have for lunch? I was thinking about a restuarant/fast food place that sold fruit and steamed vegetables. Also sides of meat and fish. I'd make it so that you ordered set meals with a variety of different foods. Like one meal would include, steamed brocolli, dates, jerk chicken breast and sweet potatoes. Another might include cantelope slices, strawberries, sashimi and a croisant. All meals would be combinations of discrete things in a plastic divided container. Basically what I am describing is my favorite types of things to prepare myself. A particular favorite is jerk chicken, baby spinach and grape tomatoes, sweet potatoes and a few dates. Another favorite is strawberries, bananas, cantelope and croissants. Another one could be sauteed string beans, brown rice, steamed vegatable mix and grilled salmon or those boneless spare ribs they have at Chinese restaurants. I also like dates with a bagel and cream cheese. Add some really high quality dried figs to that also. When I do cook it usually involves those things, mainly because they require little preperation. They are just simple. I still need to get that steamer. I don't even remeber why I started talking about this. Oh yeah the fast food join. All fresh fruit and steamed vegetables. Often times I want something to east fast and I could care less about the taste. I just need something to fill me up. This kind of place would be perfect because it wouldn't leave me feeling like I want to roll over and die. As what happens when I eat too much food that is too greasy. I do enjoy a hot piece of fatty meat though, but not too much, because then I feel like suck afterwards.

I was just thinking about this last night. I was thinking about fast food resturants and the waste they produce from their packaging. Coudln't they recyle just about all of the packaging they use in their resturants. The plastic from the straws, utensils and wrapping could be recylced. They could even put everything except burger wrappers in plastic so that you could have two containers in the store. One for plastic one for paper. I've read that you can't recyle paper once it has come into contact with food. But plastic is ok. Recyling is probably something that isn't look at as seriously as say, coming up with a new type of chicken nugget. I am trying to look at this as fairly as possible. Why aren't you given the option to recyle in-store plastic products? Japan has much stricter waste disposal and recyling laws I should research how their system works and its effectiveness. I do know that they still have big trash problems though.
