New Job What!
I have a new job! It consists of selling cupcakes and answering the phone, and I am extremely content about the situation. Customers will no longer scream my ear off that their non-fat-sugar-free-vanilla-extra-hot-extra-foam-wet-cappuccino isn't ready in under 1 minute. And I get paid to sell a simple, already-baked treat that delights the majority of the population. Awesome.

Rainy Days
If you haven't noticed, I took the opportunity to clean up my blog. I cheated and "transferred" entries from my Tumblr, but at least I set the dates back for authenticity. I'm also going to be adding in a few pictures from my travels, because I finally figured out how to export photos from iPhoto to my external hard drive (don't laugh, ImageCapture has failed me).
Here's a teaser picture from Berlin. Geniessen Sie!

Bakesales for Japan
image from Bakesale for Japan
On April 2nd, San Francisco chef Samin Nosrot will be hosting bake sales across the Bay Area for Japan.
They are looking for volunteers, please help if you can! Unfortunately, I will be in Portland, OR looking at graduate programs during that time. Trust me, I'd rather be putting my otherwise useless origami skills to work.

Chronicle Books is also having a bake sale.
For all you Gators: The Japanese Student Association at San Francisco State University is hosting a bake sale on campus TODAY from 11-1PM. The table will be located in the Village Quad by the Subway (you know where that is). Subway doesn't need your money, buy a cookie!

Racist Tuesday
It's difficult to return to an essay on the Philosophy of Mind if you think you've lost your sanity + faith in humanity.
First it was the viral Rebecca Black music video for her song 'Friday' that distracted me. By distracted, I mean sit there dumbfounded with a stupid 'herp derp' look on my face.
After washing my ears out with hydrochloric acid, I turned to ONTD_Political to catch up on daily political happenings, in attempt to regain the IQ points I had lost in the last 10 minutes.
Instead, I found Karma Japan's Tumblr page, which is uploading a majority of the racist tweets directed at Japan. I found a few images of racist Twitter updates earlier this week, but didn't think there were enough to have a Tumblr dedicated to new ones. Ignorant assholes always prove me wrong.
Then, a student at UCLA decided to upload a rant about Asians in the library talking on their cell phones, saying "Oh! Ching chong ling long ting tong!" But she said at the beginning of the video that she wasn't racist, so... no offense taken.
I thought it was over. But once again. Proven wrong.
A 10-year old student from Ohio was chosen to be a "slave," while the "masters" inspected the "slaves" during a mock slave auction during class.
After I awoke from slamming my head into my desk with a bit too much force, I continued scrolling down the ONTD_Political page with a hand somewhat covering my eyes.
Kansas State GOP Rep. Virgil Peck SUGGESTED SHOOTING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS FROM THE SKY, COMPARING THEM TO PIGS. And he REFUSES TO APOLOGIZE.
I'm sorry. Caps lock was necessary.
\\ What worries me is the fact that we live in a society where this is accepted. We allow those who make racist remarks to get away with what they said. Sure, Miss Racist UCLA dropped out due to a large amount of hate mail, but the fact that she thought it was okay to make those remarks in the first place, and the fact that the Rep. Peck didn't believe he had to make an apology is proof that our country enables these fuckers.
I know my references to Europe are old and probably flawed, but the time I spent in the Netherlands was proof that not all humans are filthy stupid in-breds who believe on capitalizing on minorities. Every country/nationality has problems, but America specifically has deep-seated discipline issues.

Oatmeal Project
Canned Tuna and Egg with Soy Sauce
Holy crap holy crap holy crap. How did I not know about this sooner??
Above is an image and recipe from tastespotting.com, who recently devoted the month of February (National Heart Health Month) to eating oatmeal every day. Of course, they had to come up with interesting recipes, serving oatmeal topped with nacho ingredients or salmon and avocado or even carrot cake!! You all know what I'll be eating for the next few days...
