monday monday

this is my horoscope today: 

Gemini (May 21 — June 21)

Your outlook today implies a strong need to look out for problems that have no basis in reality. Your imagination is powerful now. You must make sure it doesn't cook up some scary monster that could limit your ability to enjoy life.

a scary monster? it really is a horror-scope. it took me years to realize that it was spelled horoscope and not horrorscope. 

last night i took some liquid melatonin to help me sleep. today i am really out of it - time to reduce the dose!

blame it on the rain

it's raining today. i have hangover feelings, even though i only drank two glasses of wine last night. i have three options here: 

1) i am a lightweight who can only handle one drink. we all know this to be false ... i mean, come on. i have years of wine-drinking training under my belt. that can't just disappear in a few days. 

2) the house white at McVeigh's is of very poor quality. number two makes more sense than number one. 

3) the weather today (very rainy) is creating some sort of crazy pressure on my skull, causing my brain to get squished, resulting in a headache that is similar to a hangover. 

i guess a fourth option would be not enough sleep, but i got as much as i usually do. i think. my acting debut was a success. i was told some really nice things and now my ego is even bigger. i'm so great. thanks everybody. ha! everyone laughed and it was a lot of fun. now i am happy to have free time back. what will i do with myself? read a thousand novels, of course. adymm took some photos of me in action but they are on his camera. hopefully he will post them soon so i can steal them. 

do not eat

do you want to know what is sick and disgusting? anything that precedes the word "tartare." don't confuse this with the tasty "tartar" sauce, which is a thick white sauce made from mayonnaise and finely chopped pickled cucumber, capers, onions (or chives), and fresh parsley. thanks wikipedia! 

tartare means a preparation of finely chopped raw meat or fish optionally with seasonings and sauces. typically, a tartare is served as a spread for toast. the name is popularly derived from the tatars. The dish is very popular in poland. HA! 

 

last week adymm took me to this fancy french restaurant to celebrate our 29 monthaverski and for an appetizer i ordered the venison tartare not knowing that tartare means RAW MEAT. i am not french and i dropped out of french class in grade nine at my earliest possible opportunity. the idea that it could be raw never even crossed my mind. i mean, what kind of place would serve a gross concoction of raw meat in a weird gelatinous bubble shape? i tried it and adymm spat his out in the napkin. can you even call cloth napkins napkins or would they be serviettes? i will look into that another day. 

take a big bite! 

mysterious tongue

today i made it my mission to drink a lot of water - i'm trying to flush out my system. by the way, i should mention that every day i take several large vitamin pills that are as big as my head. they are seriously hard to swallow, but at least they are made from that gelatinous pill material instead of the hard kind. you must know what i'm talking about. some pills seem to have a nice soft coating with an oil-like substance inside and some have no coating at all - they just look like someone took a bunch of healthy junk and put it in one of those machine that sucks out the air really fast, sort of like when they pressure-marinate foods on iron chef. anyway, i've been taking omega 3-6-9 pills and they are big.

i was drinking water from the same metal bottle all day. just tap water from the kitchen at work. i bought the bottle at chapters and it should be high quality because it's the gaiam yoga brand but it's the worst. it has this blue design on it that is constantly coming off on my hands. for a while i thought every pen i had used was leaky ... can you imagine? i was on my fourth water bottle today, on the drive home from work, having a pretty good time, listening to a new jackie collins audiobook. i take a swig and something touches my mouth. something from ... inside ... the bottle. luckily i was waiting for this advanced green light that takes forever and could look into the bottle. inside was this white blob, a big white blob that looked like a giant tongue. i tried to touch it but the neck of the bottle was so small. what could it be?

i opened my car door and poured out some of the water. out came the mysterious tongue. i touched it (i know, gross, but i can't let it go without knowing what it was, it was in the bottle i was drinking out of all day). for a split second i thought that adymm had plopped something in as a joke or a favour. he loves putting things in drinks to make them tastier, like butterscotch chips in coffee or berries in wine, that sort of stuff. but then i realized it was actually a pill that i must have spit back into the bottle by mistake, thinking i swallowed it. i can't imagine that happening but there is no other explanation. the pill tripled in size and was all jelly and weird. grossed out!
