Things that are new with me

1. New job - yes, fucking finally. Will be making much more money, getting done at 4pm, working with nice folks, the whole shebang. Woop woop.

2. New blog - http://suchavegan.blogspot.com/. Check it out.

3. One of the cookbooks I tested for is out now! Immediately buy or order Viva Vegan! by the lovely Terry Hope Romero.

4. Working on my own cookbook. We'll see.

5. The cats are obsessed with (a) our bathroom rug, or rather, destroying our bathroom rug, (b) the kitchen clock, and (c) the various goings on of birds and squirrels in the fig tree outside our window.

He'll save children but not the British children

Washington in all his glory


So I got an IUD today. I was tired of the pill for many reasons, including the persistent headaches, the weight gain, the increase in PMS, the environmental problems, and the fact that the hormones in them are animal derived. An IUD is cheaper, more effective, and I don't have to even think about it. And it's good for TEN YEARS, woo!

Anyhoo. It hurt like a beeotch, but nothing I couldn't handle. If you've ever had horrible menstrual cramps, like the women in my family seem to do, that's what it seemed like except a little more intense.

I named it Washington, after this webcartoon. I figured if anyone's going to keep evil sperm out of my uterus, that motherfucker is.

Excerpt:
He’ll save children but not the British children
He had a pocket full of horses fucked the shit out of bears
He threw a knife into heaven
And could kill with a stare
He made love like an eagle falling out of the sky
Killed his sensei in a duel and he never said why
Washington
Washington
Twelve stories high made of radiation
The present beware
The future beware
He’s coming
He’s coming
He’s coming

Still sick (AND injured?)

So I'm still sick (yes it's been like three weeks now). I've been coughing uncontrollably for the last week, unable to sleep, and noticed that my right side right underneath my tit would hurt when I'd cough. Well it's gotten to the point where it feels like I've been kicked there by someone wearing heavy boots, and coughing and sneezing brings me close to tears. Even breathing isn't very much fun.

I think I have to admit defeat and go to the doctor on Monday and get antibiotics for whatever's keeping me full of nasty phlegm. I'm pretty sure I either cracked a rib or pulled a muscle from coughing so much. Either that or I have fucking tuberculosis.

Mehhhhh. And right before Dead Week too. :(

Still plague-y

I'm worse than I was yesterday. The only reason I'm up is because I have a lab I can't miss.

Fuck.

Run for the hills

I have the Black Death. No seriously, I'm watching my armpits for buboes, and hallucinating, and my neighbors have boarded up the place.

In other words I'm really fucking sick. I am skipping everything today and am laying in bed...doing HOMEWORK. I never relax, do I?

A little over a month until spring break and California!

It tastes like burning.

Blehhhhhhhh. I'm a sicky. My throat started getting really sore last night, and I couldn't sleep because it hurts so bad. I am an unhappy camper. Pity me.

Did everyone get nice loots for Christmas? I did!
