Dear Diary,
I have become obsessively clean. The psych major in me wants to know what this means. Today i did 12 dollars worth of laundry. (two small loads! yay for the exchange rate!!) I moved every word document I've ever written into a folder. I also have been brushing my teeth a lot. If i had to choose between what I am turning into, organization obsessed procrastinator who wants to strangle those who crack their knuckles, and what my sister is, messy but creative smartipants, I would choose the latter. Although actually I don't think we're as different as I am making it sound.
I watched this show last night on the BBC about this family that tried to cut their energy use by some tremendous percentage for a year- going "green" or whatever they are calling it. They got rid of their car, ate local, composted, didn't fly, and insulated the leaky parts of their house, among other things. The best part was that the dad was instructed by this composting guru to try and pee in their compost box as much as possible. How terrific!! I think every man should have to do that. imagine the water the world would conserve! and the happy worms! But I learned something amazing. Apparently 10% of global warming can be attributed to COW FARTS and COW BURPS. just farts and burps!! methane gas! I really want to get shirts made that say "10% of global warming caused by cow farts." on the front, and "eat less beef" on the back. Or I could stage a protest in front of the Angus steak house in Picadilly Circus. I bet the London Lite would cover it.
Love,
Diana
