I bought yogurt and kefir today because i miss my good intestinal bacteria friends. i think the fermented milk products are making me feel better. afterall, kefir is the elixir of longevity. tomorrow i’ll feel sick again. the form of the gastrointestinal tract is similar to roller coaster tracks.

someone caught me a delicious trout. i don’t know how to cook whole fishes like that, unless i broil them whole koreanstyle like my mom does. but i don’t think you are supposed to cook trout like that, so i tried my best. it was scary chopping off the head! i was kind of grossed out and lame so when i was tossing out the head i used tongs to pick it up. haha. i also thought about saving it to use in a stew, but i quickly dismissed that idea. i baked the fish in a lemon cream sauce and it was very good. i’m going to cook more fish from now on. i used silk creamer.

i got email from my old friend dr. richard wang aka blair today. it has been so long since i heard from him. he is zany, i missed him. now it seems as though i have a lot of doctor friends. i only hate the ones who aren’t my friends. jeez, i didn’t know blairmag was still online. should i be embarrassed. haha.

i am really sleepy. this evening felt short, the lateness came too quickly. good night then.

Just chilled out today. after yesterday’s indulgarama, i felt i had to hoyjog. it felt weird leaving the gym when there was still daylight. i used the hamstring machine for the first time in a long time.

my stomach was messed up again today and one of my burps was an acid one. i’m losing faith in the therapy but i guess we’ll see.

nothing interesting. i’m kind of tired. i bet i could fall asleep right now.

my favorite scratch-and-sniff sticker was the grape one. it was a circular sticker of a piece of toast with grape jelly on it. i also liked the pizza one, just because it was weird to me. there were lots of weird ones. there was a tree one that i hated. i used to get bummed because the stickers never peeled neatly off my schoolwork. whoa, look at this! ::: the grape one. the tree one. man, all the trend ones are killing me. i want them all. the other bubbledog stuff seems cute too, “nice site,” as the comment spammers like to say.

I just baked a mini chocolate ganache cake. i couldn’t wait to use my new mini springform cake pan (thanks, jola!). it rules. the thing that makes a cake taste good is butter. i used very little (none =/) and it ended up being really dry. sugar also makes a cake taste good and I used only a small bit of that. haha, it must sound really gross to you. I made the ganache using some expensive ($10 per bar?) chocolate that marko bought and that part is good. i covered it with saran wrap and the glaze got messed up so it is not very photogenic. it used to be cute though. now she looks like pac-man. the cake will be fine if eaten with icecream or raspberry sorbet or something. but i’m not going to eat it. haha.

still awake.  watched three’s company season 3 (thanks, luke!).  i laughed a lot.  the kids make being broke and not having enough money to cover rent seem not so bad.

i can’t wait to wake up to take more antibiotics.

I spent the afternoon in old town.  i also spent the generous gift card to crate and barrel that jola the chola gave me.  I bought kitchen utensils and fake bundtlets.  Lots of good stuff.  then i went to lucky baldwin’s for aventinus.  that place is dangerous!  the drunk sneaks up behind you and tries to pull the wool over your eyes.  awesome.  I think the bartender with the pretty eyes hooked me up.  a pint of guinness is $7, but a giant aventinus was dollars less than that?  then I treated myself to all the sushi and beer and mochi icecream ballz i could eat.  just me and two of my best friends, myself and i.  buzzed, indulged, and oh so happy to be.

still awake. saturday morning. why aren’t any cartoons on?  what’s up with me.

I just got back from having appetizers, drinks, and delicious chocolate cake with todd (yearofglad) and dr. lara in brentwood. it was fun, i like those people a lot. we talked about activities of daily living, books, dying in two months, and going on a cruise on land. todd makes me laugh, i have to thank the liquid plumr snake for bringing us together. and i think the good dr. lara is my soul sister. she has the same birthday as me, but she was born in the year of the ox, which is one of my top favorite chinese zodiac signs. she is good at insane conversation too. haha. if i die in two months i’ll regret not hanging out with those two more frequently.

antibiotics make me feel drunk fast and put a funny taste in my mouth. kind of like the aftertaste of a cold-eeze lozenge. but i think the bastard bacterium are dying. i’ve been feeling a lot better.

so i started my ten-day triple-therapy medication this evening. the prescription says ten days, but the pharmacy would only sell me the 14-day package. the handsome pharmacist at our first-favorite supermarket said he is going to check with my doctor about how much i should use and then call me tomorrow. then he opened up a bag of cheddar jalapeno cheetos and said, “veronica, ring me up!”

i bought life cereal, which was a mistake because i nearly ate the entire box again. the h pylori are having a field day in there with it.

i felt better today. i got adequate sleep and felt a little bit of relief knowing that this stomach ordeal might be over soon. I can’t imagine eating something and then feeling fine afterwards. i read that patients gain significant amounts of weight after h pylori eradication because they feel like they can finally eat again. so they just hog out. i’ve been hogging out with the infection, imagine when i’m a free man. next stop brownie beefcake city the third.

i had lunch in old town with my good friend luna today. hadn’t seen or spoken with her in a long time. it was good. i didn’t tell her but i recently had a dream she got married. sweet. i also had dreams that darlene was having a baby. weird. and a dream that marko had pink and purple paint on his hands. faggy. haha.

i just burped and it was kind of nasty. but you know what it wasn’t? acidic.

i’m off to get my kung fu head busted now.

the laboratory results are in.  i have the helicobacter pylori infection in my gut.  I’ll have to pick up “antibiotics” tomorrow, lame.  everything else appears normal.  my doctor said I have very good cholesterol numbers.  but i’m not feeling very well again tonight.  sweet.

i’m tired.  i don’t feel like reading or writing anything.  i want to watch something funny on television.

I went on a high school campus today to drop off a vintage fox racing chest protector vest for the assistant principal of the school. she wasn’t even there, but it was kind of fun being inside a school. there’s something i like about bubble lettering cut out of colored construction paper.  also, i want to eat in a “cafeteria.” i want an alief cookie with the juice of the pickle spear on it.

I don’t have anything to talk about. Today was the first day in a long time where I didn’t have to eat any tums. i must be getting better.

hell’s kitchen was good tonight. they showed scallops and went to alhambra high school. I want to eat in a cafeteria.
