Ha ha!!

Because I recently got food poisoning from eating some bad Thai food (and I hate that it was Thai food because I love Thai food and I don't like that it gives off the impression that ethnic cuisine is somehow unclean, not sanitary, full of unknown ingredients etc)....but sadly it was Thai food (vegetables, tofu, and sauce) that made me incredibly ill and now I never want to see or smell it again let alone ingest it into my body.

Once the throwing up eased I was privileged enough to drink all of my meals. The only thing I really wanted was purple Gatorade which I drank a shit ton of. In light of this I was debating with someone the other day whether or not if one drank enough colored beverages (for example purple Gatorade) if it would turn ones urine that color or any color other than a shade of yellow. The consensus was probably not. But I know that I have taken certain meds and they have changed the color of my urine...so I figured now was as good a time as any to try the experiment. I drank probably five large things of purple Gatorade in like three days maybe four or five and I can say my pee has not turned any interesting colors.

However, and this may gross some people out but I think it is fascinating-maybe Elka from the KELKA Planet Podcast would agree or offer some insight-but my poo turned NEON GREEN. I am not talking like baby poop green from eating too many green beans the night before (and believe me I would know) but I am talking like it lit up the toilet a little butt I mean bit. Is this from my Gatorade consumption? I mean I have to assume so but honestly it is a little mystifying. So if you know why ones poo would turn such a bright color please let me know all you wanna be doctors and scientists in my life?

Ok the end love muah or mua!!

stuff and nonsense, missy higgins

the thing about itunes as well as most websites these days is that they now are able to make predictions about music/book/products you will like from the things you purchase and browse. Now in some ways I think this is odd and Big Brotherish-however at least on itunes they tend to be fairly accurate and occasionally i run into an artist that I truly enjoy and am glad I was introduced even if it was in this way. Take for instance Missy Higgins who's EP Where I Stood was a recommendation. I listened, purchased, and am now in love with said EP, especially the song Stuff and Nonsense. I listened to her other stuff and I wasn't as inspired-so in the end i am very very glad that itunes is stalking me in this way...sometimes...

Lyrics

Missy Higgins, Stuff and Nonsense

Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally down to duo
But I've got no secrets that I babble in my sleep
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep

And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense

I once lived for the future
Everyday seemed one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes I believed before I met you
But I soon learned your love burned brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when, I know where and why

And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense

Hey Flirt With This...I am a Certified Hard Core Bitch

Recently a friend put this song on a cd for me and I love it a little bit. While I don't necessarily agree with the implications of violence I do understand why attitudes like this are at some points necessary to deal with the crap of sexism, heterosexism, homophobia, and misogyny alive and well in our culture. She seems to think this song reminds her of me to which I reply, "feminist bitch-yep you better believe it" I seem to wear it well I think...

Flirting, Jess Klein

The boss didn't like me
Cause I refused to flirt
He paid me peanuts
And treated me like dirt
He said but we could work it out
So what do you say
I thought I bet at 5pm
This gets subtracted from my pay

But I said Hey hey
Flirt with this I am a certified hardcore bitch
And I do not want approval from you
But I'll let you live and thats the only favor I'm gonna do

I sing myself to sleep
I sing myself awake
It's a woodenbelly hustle
He says shake a baby shake
And I guess I shook it too hard in a public place
Cause he was breathing down my neck
With his arm around my waist
And his slimey intentions were ozzing from his face
He said whats a pretty girl like you doing without a man
I said why don't you ask my girlfriend
She'll help you understand

And I said Hey Hey
Flirt with this
I am a certified hardcore bitch
And I do not want attention from you
But I'll let you live and that's the only favor I'm gonna do

Serving food to a man with a top ten list on his chest
Top ten reasons why beer is better than women
What? God
Reason number one beer always tastes fresh
I spit in his salad so that it was better dressed
Reason number two beer labels don't put up a fight
I looked at the carving knife and thought I just might
So I rang up his order and what did I say
Thank you for raping me with your shirt
And have a nice day
He said relax girly don't you like to flirt
And I said no bagels and lox for you pal

Yeah I said Hey Hey
Flirt with this
I am a certified hardcore bitch
And I do not care for your point of view
But I'll let you live and you'll consider yourself lucky too

So sing it with me ladies
Theres no need to be afraid
A bad attitude can really brighten up your day
Some man tries to get you to hang your head in shame
Just give him the boot
Yeah reclaim the name that brought you to fame

And say Hey Hey
Flirt with this
I am a certified hardcore bitch
And I do not want any shit from you
But I'll let you live and that's the only favor I'm gonna do

For Aidan...my beauty of a nephew...

Better, Toby Lightman

He'll be enough to make you cry
He'll be enough to open your eyes
To all the little things that make this world better
He'll give you love you never know
He'll give his heart only to you
And he'll make your life oh better

So when he comes to you in the middle of the night
Cause he's scared to be alone in the dark
You'll tell him everything's gonna be alright

Cause I will be your light
I will be your night
I will be that star in hte sky who watches over you

You'll tell him everything you know
You'll tell him "oh the plces you'll go"
So you can be a good man and
make this world better.
You'll give him all the love you have
Even when he makes you so mad
Keep in mind, that he made your life better.

So when he comes to you and he's so confused
Because he wants to give his heart to another
You'll tell him everything's gonna be just fine

Cause I will be your light
And when the years are going by too fast
and he's growing up to be big and strong
Know his love for you will last
Even when he doesn't say it to your face
Even when you have to put him in his place
Know that he's a love that nothing in this
world can ever replace

Gillian Welch, Look At Miss Ohio Lyrics

Oh me oh my oh, look at Miss Ohio
She’s a-running around with her rag-top down
She says I wanna do right but not right now

Gonna drive to Atlanta and live out this fantasy
Running around with the rag-top down
Yeah I wanna do right but not right now

Had your arm around her shoulder, a regimental soldier
An’ mamma starts pushing that wedding gown
Yeah you wanna do right but not right now

Oh me oh my oh, would ya look at Miss Ohio
She’s a-runnin’ around with the rag-top down
She says I wanna do right but not right now

I know all about it, so you don’t have to shout it
I’m gonna straighten it out somehow
Yeah I wanna do right but not right now

Oh me oh my oh, look at Miss Ohio
She a-runnin’ around with her rag-top down
She says I wanna do right , but not right now
Oh I wanna do right but not right now
