I NEED MOVEMENT!!!! Sunday and Monday were spent on the computer and in my pajamas the entire day looking at apartments in California. I'm totally stoked about moving there, but WOW apartment shopping is a finicky business. One place I was looking into had pipe issues earlier this month and they finally burst, spewing waste and puke all in the building. Management did nothing and many of the tenants got sick as a result. Won't be moving there. Another place is roach infested. Hell no. Another place has rats. And many are just ridiculously expensive. I've found three so far that look really good and the rates are nice. Hopefully I'll find more as well to ease me and the parents up.
So the headline has to do with a 30-day vegetarian diet that I'm starting this week. Started yesterday, but then my family all wanted to go out to sushi together tonight, and then tomorrow my aunt is making dolmades (lamb stuffed grape leaves) and I cannot resist those in the slightest bit. Lamb is my weakness. Sushi, I'm actually getting a little bored with, but lamb. Never. What made me want to do this is that my friend showed me a PETA video narrated by Paul McCartney that shows footage of what life is like for an animal in the slaughterhouses and how messed up the treatment of the animals is. It's not the eating of meat I'm against, as a species, we've been doing that for a very long time. It's the way cows, chickens, pigs, and even fish are treated in these places, bred to make them extra fat and produce more product. Then they're slaughtered while some are even still conscious! It's absolutely horrifying to watch! As a meat-eater my whole life, it's going to be a challenge, but I want to do it. Wish me luck!
