what up. i felt sick to my stomach again. nausea. i had to stop in at rite aid for a bottle of diet coke to release the belches. i feel a little better now.
i guess i should go to sleep. it got late fast. i was at marco’s house watching another bollywood movie. i liked it. some of those movies are really great. perfect combination of cheerfulness, cheesiness, action, art, and beautiful people. just like here, right.
have a safe and happy hulloween.
sup. my gi tract is wack. i felt really sick after dinner and then i drank a mixed berry 7up plus from a can that has been in my mom’s refrigerator since 2004 and burped all death metal style. then i felt burning in my stomach like jack daniels for breakfast and my nose got runny and i sneezed as though i was having some sort of allergic reaction. i ate flied lice with a million things in it so who knows what i could be allergic to. what if it’s eggs. my brother suddenly developed an intolerance/allergy to eggs and avocados. ugh. i also forgot to take my align capsule today.
i’m receiving the influenza vaccine tomorrow. let’s see what happens. if i die, come one, come all to my funeral. bring snacks.
i took one of marco’s movie prop shotguns to my mom’s house so my brother could accessorize his halloween costume with it. while i was cooking at the stove he used it behind my back to pretend he was bashing my head in with the butt of the gun. my mom was outside watering the plants but she saw him through the window and got really mad at him. haha! a couple of christmases ago he held a knife up to edna when she wasn’t looking:
haha.
what’s up. i made lemon bars today but they came out gross. the shortbread had trader joe’s pizza dough syndrome and didn’t cook all the way through and the lemon goo was way too sweet because i used meyers lemons and meyers lemons are sweeter than they look. i spread cream cheese on the bars to cut the sweetness so maybe my mom and brother will find them to be edible.
i went to kung fu class tonight and it was fun. i like that class. i told marco that if i died all of my kung fu classmates would attend my funeral. well, ken and sam probably wouldn’t because we never talk or fight in class but funerals are weird so maybe they would show up. i’d be cool with it.
i’m going to read and sleep now. i’ve been going to bed early lately which has been great. i’ve been doing pilates in the morning before work, but i’m sure that won’t last much longer. i’m not much of an early bird, never really cared for worms.
i went to the gastroenterologist today. the clerk held up two little boxes and asked me, “were you supposed to pick these up?” it was the samples of expensive antibiotics. nobody ever called me to get them. lame. the doctor still doesn’t know what’s wrong with me. she drew more blood to test for celiac disease. she will probably refer me to an allergist. lame.
i’m getting tired now. i will sleep early tonight.
well, the staycation was great and now it’s over. that was fast. during the past few days i mostly spent time with my family. one of the days was my brother’s birthday, but we always end up pulling a kiem dang and celebrate it for several days in a row, so we had lots of food and drinks and it was just happy family fun. edna visited and brought the dogs too so there was lots of life in my mom’s house. i spent a couple of nights there, which made my staycation feel more like a vacation. charlotte and the dogs got along better this time around. i think our charlotte is finally growing up a little.
one of the nights i watched gone with the wind. for the first time. it was so great. will you make me a scarlett o’hara costume in time for halloween. i’ll wear it to the nicoteens show. thanks.
tonight we all went out to koreatown for korean barbecue. then we went to pipers for dessert. i’ve never been to pipers before but it was pretty cool. i like places that have a bar and are open 24 hours a day. i ate pat bingsoo which reminded me of dr. terry for some reason. do you know what pat bingsoo is.
i went to the pub tonight, which was mellow and funny. residue.
well, i’m off to squeeze in some final relaxation before returning to my normal life. i’m already getting excited about the holidays now.
also, during my staycation i said the word “staycation” about 1000 times.
guess what. i’m on vacation. or “staycation,” since i will be staying around here. i’m taking the rest of the week off to sleep in, couch surf, celebrate, and do what i do best (nothing). i have a really cool boss.
just chilled tonight. watched a gene kelly documentary with marco. he is cute. which.
i guess i should go to sleep now. i want to wake up late tomorrow, but not too late.
i just chill. after work i relaxed and exercised and then i couch surfed. i’m already in my pajamas. i’m going to walk charlotte and hop into bed. super early.
i had fun at the baby shower. ended up spending pretty much the whole day there. beer, food, and homies. simple and good.
mike v. has the cutest puppy ever. she reminds me of charlotte, but with a short velvety chocolate coat and cute puppy face with bright eyes. and zero social anxiety. beatrix and charlotte both have the white chest stripe too, which signifies high intelligence:
me and chris c.:
happy sunday. i just woke up a few minutes ago and now i’m drinking coffee and eating a banana. i feel tired even though i slept a lot.
turbodave sent me one of those digital television converter boxes. those things are neat. all of my local channels come in very clear with no need to adjust the rabbit ears. and i even pick up a few new channels like ion life, which airs lots of terrible cooking programs. soon i will buy converter boxes for the rest of my television sets. why wait until february 17. turbodave said, “let the couch surfing begin!”
the terrible cooking programs look like videos made by high school students for extra credit. except the students in the videos are old people. one home chef who looked like santa claus was cooking sausages in a skillet, but he was burning them and didn’t know because he was too busy slicing mango. then the telephone on his wall rang and he answered it with his sticky fingers. apparently the person on the other end told him he was burning them. he hung up and looked into the camera and said, “oh, she said it’s time to flip them.” what the.
i’m going to get ready and head out to the local park for jocelyn and chris c.’s baby shower. i made vegetarian pasta for the pot luck. i want to take charlotte, but she has no table manners. also, if i have to play poopy diaper games, i’m going to party poop and leave. talk to you later.
my brother finally prepared his surf ‘n’ turf meal. the filet came out perfectly cooked (or uncooked) and the jumbo scallops were excellent. we drank a delicious wine (we didn’t get around to trying the 99-cent store one yet) and ate the dessert that i created. it was great. it had been a while since i’ve eaten a steak. i said, “brother, this is worth living for” like dexter’s sister in dexter.
i started taking the align today. i feel all right, a little swellybellied, but it could just be the meat and potatoes sitting in there.
i guess i’ll go to bed early again.
