I thought this drive would be a good opportunity to work on sustained activity sans sleep so I went for 18 ½ hours, all the way to Reed’s house in Redlands (1 hour from home) and without too much trouble. Probably cuz of my diet. I was mentioning not eating correctly, wasn’t I? Well, today I had:

2 - sausage biscuits (2 for .99, McD’s)

2 – egg biscuits (.99 Mc D)

2 – Whoppers (.99)

2 – Filet-O-Fish (.99)

1 – Root Beer float (.99)

2 – Coke’s (for the sodium)

Lots of coffee

The Nacirema drink of the month trifecta (at Reed’s)

I think all the fat kept me going.

Every since we made the film and I had to live on no money I haven’t been able to shake the cheap food syndrome. I rarely buy something that costs more than 99 cents, unless it’s Mexican and I have a hard time buying anything at the store that isn’t on sale. I was with my dad in the market a while back and he tried to buy a $4 box of cereal and I was like,

"What are you doing? You can get this for $1.49." He said he didn’t like that kind of cereal and I was like, "What does that have to do with anything. It’s cheap."
