Adventures in Food

[livejournal.com profile] coffeewench69 was kind enough to message me to make sure I hadn't totally disappeared, so I figured I should update.

I have food poisoning. I ate leftover shrimp fried rice what sat on the counter for several hours and then dumped Peking ravioli sauce I left out all night on it. It was totally delicious, but I knew I was in for trouble later. The main issue here is that I am stupid. So when I started feeling queasy and like I drank a gallon of fryalator grease about 4 hours later, I knew. I knew.

Amusing interlude: Now, I can eat this and be generally ok. I once had very bad rotissere chicken and didn't yak, but any time I ever ate at MIL's, I yakked and was down for a good 24 hours. Shows you how incredibly bad her food was.

I think my sinuses are frakked tonight. I was playing the tooth pain game earlier: popcorn, cavity, or sinuses, and I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I really should go to the dentist, but I'm so freaked out by them and their 8 foot needles. Plus, I think my teeth would hurt a lot more if I actually had a cavity. I probably also wouldn't've been blowing my nose every 15 seconds like I have been all day. Damn my eternal nememsis, the maple.

Steven totally hates me. Last week, I was watching 13 Going On 30, tonight I found Save the Last Dance (which is one of my favourite movies), and he was making The Face so bad. He just doesn't understand my love of bad teen coming of age movies. Alas. I bought

Oh, what the frak, giant wolf spider? You are so icky, but your skitter-skitter-FREEZE "Oh shit, she saw me. Maybe if I don't move, she'll forget I'm here," made me feel guilty about killing you for a moment. Now I have to clean your squished corpse off the floor. When will you learn that seeing you = death? I am not a T Rex, spider. Your holding skill does not make you magically invisible to me.

Why does Gwen Stefani's perfume have to smell so good? I tried a little sample today and damn... I am going to have to buy a little bottle when I eventually have money again. God, I despise her, but this and that song Sweet Escape? Might sway me just a teensy bit.

I need to not get sucked into watching Alfie. Yet another movie I wanted to catch and for whatever reason, never did. I really do like Jude Law, even if he did nail the nanny. Of course, If I were dating Sienna Miller, I probably would have gone for the nanny too. I can't stand her skinny blonde ass.

I met our new neighbours yesterday. Very nice, newlyweds like us, and parents of a Sphynx cat. I don't envy them for being in the moving process. We still have loads to unbox and I really, really want to seal the crack in the house to get cut back on our spider/bug problem. I think I should also spray round the doorframes too.

This just got rather boring, rather quick.

I took inventory of my stash tonight. It's filled a crate now, 32 skiens. I cast on for a new scarf for Steven, but I'm going to have to frog it since after a couple rows, it's way too big. It's cool, though, because I think I'd rather knit on circs than straight needles. Yarn of choice is Moda Dea Vixen in Green with Envy. I'm thinking it may end up being a scarf and hat combo, since I have 5 50g balls. I'll see how it shapes up. But yea, knitting season has started for me. Plus, it gives me something to do at school when not reading.

I think I might as well just watch the rest of Alfie. I've got the week-end off.

Oh, god, if only I could watch bad teen coming of age movies! Andy won't even let them in the house.

Ick, sorry to hear about the food poisoning. I've never had it, but I do have your hatred of dentists. And my teeth are ridiculous.

I love how you completely stopped your paragraph about coming of age teen movies to watch the spider. I go nuts when I know there's a bug in my house or car. The other day I opened my car door to get something out (and go right back inside), and a bee flew in JUST as I opened the door... as if it was waiting for me. Like, literally RIGHT AFTER I opened it, whoosh! I was so pissed. I ended up just leaving the windows cracked hoping it would get it's own ass out, and I went back inside.

It did, thank goodness. Either that, or it's waiting in the shadows to sting me when I least suspect it.

LOL, Chase and I watched half of 13 Going on 30 on FOX while we waited for his parents to come over. I had no idea what it was, but it was cracking me up. Then he goes, "Oh, I remember watching this once before." We have very eclectic movie tastes. Come watch movies with us. ;)

Where is your mouth pain? I feel like playing pre-dental hygienist!

8 foot needles

Dentist's do have the most intimidating instruments ever. They look like they were only made to bring on the pain.

I think the only reason I get to watch them is if a) they cost us nothing, b) there is nothing better to watch, and c) the planets align perfectly. It does help that we have a telly upstairs, as well as a couple laptops.

He watchs WWE (which drives me insane), so I figure this is payback.

I really have absolutely no attention span. I was actually thinking about finishing that other paragraph, but cleaning up spider guts really distracted me.

If that bee is lying in wait for you, it's going to have a very hot time of it this week-end.

Third molar in from the back of my mouth (no wisdom teeth) on both sides. No pain this morning, but it was kind of a throbbing ache yesterday.

I keep meaning to get down your way. I have a cousin living down there who I haven't seen in like 6 years.

I thought 13 Going on 30 was really cute and funny. Steven thought it was inane.

Oh, god, no kidding. Those little hook things get me too. Ugh, I'm getting chills just thinking about it.

Is it more in your gum area or like, does it feel like it's the tooth itself?

Where does your cousin live? If you don't mind me asking and all, lol.
