I must apologize, but the post about my rehearsal process will have to come later. I have something much more interesting to talk about right now.

I have a bowl. I got it at Target. I’ve been needing one for a while now, and this week I finally got it. It’s not associated with any particular club or brand, and it doesn’t advertise any particular product, but it is red and black by a lucky coincidence, and therefore (almost) matches my red-and-black Angels coffee mug.

I’m really thrilled to have the bowl, not just because it looks so bad-ass, but because I feel like a better person for it. Happier, even. More productive.

For one thing, I am not using a ton of disposable bowls anymore; with my money-saving, low-cholesterol routine of oatmeal in the morning and soup for lunch, I am practically in constant need of a bowl. They have bowls at work that are made of some material that’s barely a step up from Ikea-lantern rice paper, and they are too small for one can of Progresso. On some days I could go through three bowls – it never happened, but I could have gone through four or more, because sometimes the bowls just collapse under their own weight I and would need to double up.

But my new bowl is big, strong, and reusable, just like a good American. And it’s microwave safe, just like a good American. So I’m totally saving the environment, and I can heat a whole can of soup all at the same time with room to spare.

Air.
Oatmeal.
Soup.
Repeat.

I may get a spoon in the near future, too.
