I slept soundly until 9am today, and worked all day at my computer wearing my yutaka, setting up students’ blogs and doing beginning-of-term administration. There are part-time teachers out there who teach twice as much as I and travel twice as far. I don’t understand how they do it. I suspect a lot of content repetition, correcting on train rides, and lack of sleep. Until now I’ve always worked full time, which entails less teaching but oodles of administrative work all the same. Both pay the bills better than I am currently doing, but it is nice to have the time to do a proper job.
I kept to fruit in the earlier part of the day. Frutarians must be constantly eating, as no sooner does fruit enter my digestive track do I feel famished again. I had to do a shop to replenish my depleted fridge. Must get more mangoes at Costco….
Today I ate:
2 mangoes
water, frozen berries, molassis smoothie
natto, kimuchi, and dried nori
2 kiwis
one slowly rock-roasted sweet potato (Kagoshima-style)
1 big glass red wine (organic)
pumpkin seeds
I googled more on the title “Food Matters” and found that Mark Bittman has unsurprisingly written a book with this name. I have no idea if the movie mentioned in an earlier blog is based on this, but I suspect it might be.
