this is probably old news, but this seminal zine of zines is supposed to be relaunching again this year, possibly around march or april 2006. i'm stumbling around the web in a zine nostalgia-induced stupor. i miss the 90's Epic Era of Zines, and the fact that my blogging experiences have never made me feel quite as connected or a part of something as making a plain old xerox zine did.

- don't do so much complicated grocery shopping and cooking. i have to admit i just don't have a shopping-every-week-cooki ng-every-night kind of life. even if i sort of want one. so i just won't do it anymore. we go out to eat at least 2x a week anyway, mostly because we have to in order to get to meetings on time. i will make about four big batches of dishes once a month (like a couple of different types of beans, a soup or stew, a pasta dish), divide them into portions, and freeze them. everything else can be fruit, salad, snacky stuff. i love obsessively poring over new recipes every week, but at this point in my life i don't have time! and i'd rather spend more time on art and spiritual stuff and my family and so many other things. so ¡YA! se acabo.
- maybe i should just buy a bus pass once and for all, instead of this expensive and time-consuming waffling between transit and driving. i feel so much more relaxed when i take the bus, mostly, so maybe i should just break down, bite the bus bullet, and buy a bus bass. (i just wanted the last word to alliterate, too.) (even if it doesn't make sense.)
- take our laundry to get done once a week. this feels a little (ok, very) self-indulgent but we are obviously not good at keeping up with our laundry. this would cost about $15-20/week, which tampoco is cheap, in fact not at all, but it might be a sacrifice i am willing to make for less house stuff to do and more peace of mind!
- ask for help more! tell people when i am having trouble thinking of what to ask for help for!
that's it for now.
