Writer's Block: Wake up and smell the coffee

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I face this choice every morning (seeing as how I am in charge of my own breakfast), and I have to say, sleep always wins. I would rather get the extra fifteen minutes and eat something perfunctory and fast (or on the go) than spend that time cooking up something snazzy.

If I get to bed early enough or it's a weekend so I'm not in a rush in the morning, I'll sometimes make a nice breakfast-- but even then it's rare, because I'm usually just not in the mood for a lot of food first in the morning. There are meals that are good at other times of the day, but not in the morning; I can't stomach much more than cereal and milk. Potein products feel hard to digest (and usually require cooking) and fruits and vegetables frankly taste bad in my just-woken-up mouth. In my ideal world-- and this is what I did in college-- I would eat something small when I woke up and then have a larger, more filling lunch just a couple hours later. Unfortunately, my present world is the opposite of that: I eat lunch around 7:00 am and Japanese schools don't break for lunch until 12:30-- and after nothing but a bowl of cereal, I'm starving by the end of first hour. I bring snacks, but I can't think Potapotayaki or a package of dried persimmon seeds is really doing me all that well.

In other news, I recently discovered this song and it is so an Amy-Robert song. Seeing as how we each live on the respective west coasts of our countries. . . and really far away from each other in general )-:
