Steaming teabags

Another quote:

Robert Fulghum: "One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire-then you have a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference."

I saw it in Friday's Daily Cal in an opinion piece. It really puts things in perspective.

I was telling Ian that I didn't have enough to do and was looking for some sort of weekend job or volunteer position. He told me that I could get $100,000 for donating eggs. Erp? I'm sort of confused...
On the upside, he lent me a spare bike, and it's going to be wonderful! I can go grocery shopping so much more easily and get to places I don't usually get to outside of the stuff walkable from Berkeley. Yesterday I went biking up to Grizzly Peak. Maybe next weekend I'll go to the Marina.
