Jen, I'm honestly not making light of your statement, but it made me giggle b/c I remembered my rant about commercials with anthropomorphized food -- I mean, take Charlie the Tuna from Starkist Tuna. Here we have a sentient fish that talks and wears a little hat and eyeglasses that call to mind Charles Nelson Reilly. But he talks, and hangs out, and knows other fish -- he's involved in the undersea community. BUT HE'S GOING TO BE LUNCH. And the thing is, he seems really happy to be Starkist tuna, which in turn makes him happy to be someone's future lunch, which would involve, one assumes, his death at the end of a hook. This is really disturbing.

Back in Canberra, there used to be commercials for Cut-Pirce Delli that featured an aggressively cheerful pig with a fixed, staring grin, armed with a meat cleaver that he swished about with abandon. I was never convinced watching the ads that said pig had any intention of winding up on the menu.

t now earwormed with "Cows With Guns"

I think I'm just tired. But, I'm crashing quickly.

vw, I get like that sometimes. Have you eaten dinner? When I'm overtired and/or need to eat a meal, my mood plummets so quickly that it's a little frightening, even when I recognize what's happening.

Yup. BLT and two ears of corn about an hour ago. And it was yummy! Best corn I've had all season (ok...it may very well be the only corn I've had all season). Maybe I need some ice cream. And tea.

ETA: This has been happening recently. I think it's just stress. I go, go, go all day, then I just crash when I let myself sit for five minutes.

Gris, I lurve Zen Palate, but I think Angelica Kitchen is a better vegan restaurant. It's very worth checking out if you're into vegan food.

Or the Canadian HP commercial with the cow with a microphone - Can you imagine, how much I love youuuu, do do de do, do do de dooooo - and the tag line: "Makes Beef Sing"

All sorts of vibes to GC and her family, and a gentle passing to her grandmother.

And Susan gets all the job-ma I've got, unless P-C still needs any.

I miss bacon dreadfully. I'll be all over that vat-grown bacon the instant it's out.

I want to see the cow singing "Bad To The Bone".

I'm having a The Island moment.

MIL hadn’t seen her GYN in 30 YEARS

Good LORD! Well, here's sending -ma that she might be sensible about all this, and in return the stuff might go smoothly as it can!

If you were in Boston right now I would totally give you your birthday spanking.

Oooh. Damn, I AM missing out!!

Happy Birthday to meara and Jen! (I've slept on both of their couches!)

Hah! Sadly for David, I have a much comfier couch, now (and a much less sketchy house, too).

Thank you all for the birthday wishes, they make me smile muchly! Work was very nice and gave me cards and prezzies, and I brought in two yummy yummy cakes, and they appreciate them. Tomorrow night, work people are going out for karaoke that I organized. Heheheheh.

YAY!!!! I have been approved for CommonHealth, a version of MassHealth, insurance. I can buy my drugs again!

Go VW! That's awesome!

but now I'm worried for Biloxi/Gulfport. That's even closer to home for me, and I definitely have friends there, and friends with family there

Yeah, MinneapolisGirl (who will be here Thursday!)'s parent live in Hattiesburg, MS, and she told me their plan was to hide in the walk-in closet, which was the only place in the house without windows, and they have a tiny generator for her mom's medication. Eep.

I've made Sunday my baby food making day. Last night I did:

OK, the sad part is, all of Aimee's baby food she's making sounds better than what I eat most days...

(Though not today, cause I have leftover goat stew and rice and peas!)

The photogs told me on Friday that I should have online pics 2 weeks after the wedding

Ooh, Maria, will be looking forward to that!

What I found most interesting was watching Bride try to reconcile the different parts of her personality that she shows different groups of friends.

Ooh, that's always tough. I have some friends that I would really never have hang out together...(though it does mean any new friends get bonus points if they seem the sort who would be cool with any/all of my friends!)

Good luck with teh interview Susan!

And -ma to Gloomcookie's family too.
