As the pie turns
My stomach is so full. I think I can probably go a day without eating. Serious. Of course I’m not because I’m apparently channeling a glutton but I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt if I kept my meals on the smaller side the next few days. Especially with the eat-a-thon that’s coming up this weekend!
But last night I feasted on burgers, fries, onion rings, and milkshakes. And that was just on my plate. I had dinner with the Baker and the Fire Lady at their house and was treated to some very delicious burgers that reminded me of our dinner at Barney’s. Utterly delicious.
Even though I came with an appetite, I couldn’t power through the rest of my burger. I ate about half and a couple bites before having to throw in the towel. And then I couldn’t move. So I sat on the couch and watch TV with the Baker. When the only part of your body you want to [or can] move is your head, you know you had a good meal.
Or maybe you just ate too much.
Have any of you seen Mental? Is one of the newer shows on Fox. We watched it last night [right after House] and let me tell you, it’s cheesy. And not in a delightful way either. First off, the timing of it is extremely unfortunate. Coming on after House, its way too easy to draw parallels between the two shows, and in this case, Mental is DEFINITELY the weaker of the two. It’s basically House in the Psych ward of a hospital but bad House. They have a House, Cutty, Foreman…practically everyone has a doppelganger. AND there’s a bit of Grey’s Anatomy thrown in with a philandering married psychologist and one of the doctors that we so called 15 minutes before anything was revealed.
And the “dream sequences” are HORRIBLE! And so obviously fake. I mean, I know it’s season one but I think Ally McBeal’s fantasy sequences were better than these during its first season. And what was up with the wardrobe? On Foreman lite, they had him in a jacket that was obviously too small. Like, he could only button one button and that button was STRAINING for dear life to stay closed. It was very distracting to say the least.
But man, my eating isn’t even over. I still have a key lime pie sitting in the fridge from the Baker AND I have two spam musubi left to eat [I ate one this morning] AND my mom was kind enough to bring home some kalbi and rice for my lunch. Oh, and I’m STILL full!
I think I might just finish off the rest of the musubi for lunch and then save the kalbi for tomorrow’s lunch. Aye. There is just too much food!
Thank goodness I opted for that tankini. It hides a multitude of sins!

I was going through my email this morning and went to empty the spam bucket, if you will as I do every morning [sometimes the spam builds up overnight]. Thanks email filters and the whatnot, receiving spam is now just nominally annoying. What’s not annoying is the wonderfully delicious spiced ham in a can Spam that I unabashedly and unapologetically love – dude, spam sandwiches rock this hapa girl’s heart. If I wasn’t currently full with grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup, breadsticks and sweet potato chips, I’d probably wish I had another Spam musubi right now. But I digress.
Since I have several different email accounts for specific purposes [my primary account, my mailing list account, my internet shopping account, etc] and because I have a healthy dose of cynicism to Internet offers/forwards and the like, the likelihood of my falling prey to the spammers is relatively low. Especially since they don’t know which account is for which so I’m always amused and tipped off when I receive a seemingly personal Re: Hey! email in one of my secondary accounts.
While I don’t open these messages, I do love reading the mysteriously humorous subject titles. Most are amusing, especially the ones for the enhancers and miracle pills. My favorite: “Make your intruder the best for her.” I kid you not. Of course, most are completely unintelligible when they’re not written in broken English. Sometimes I feel like I’m reading I Can Haz Cheezburger.
You gotta love the creativity in some of them. Even the ones that make you think you won some lottery thing. First off, I’m not a British citizen or even been to Britain so how would I ever win the lottery there? Second, these old Nigerian email scams, I’d just like to thank you for thinking I had that kind of money to begin with. And the newish Fed Ex scams. I deal with Fed Ex on a daily basis and never would they write you a long letter explaining how you have a package ready for pick up. Or the ones telling me I’ve won some kind of scholarship or award.
Um, yeah, whatever dude. As if I’m ever going to follow through with those directions. There are just too many steps that all require me to get out of the house and drive somewhere. Why do that when I can stay home and take a nap instead?
Who knew laziness could be so helpful?
