Etcetera

I tried getting myself veggie burgers from Trader Joe's, because I had veggie burgers for the first time in the company cafeteria and decided I liked the chewy bean-ness. Unfortunately, the ones I got this time attempt to pretend they are meat.

I do not understand this vegetarian-food-trying-to-be-meat thing. I like vegetable texture. For that matter, I like meat texture too. Vegetable-pretending-to-be-meat just sort of tastes odd. I'd much rather prefer to eat vegetables that taste like they're vegetables.

In other news, I cleaned the rat cage yesterday. This always generates much excitement from the rats, which in turn amuses me, seeing how the cage is basically exactly the same. I think wiping away all the old cage smell and starting with new cage smell is essentially the same as getting a brand new cage every week to them! Wah, sometimes I wish I were a rat! I could just laze around in my cage all day and be scritched and fed by my adoring owner.
