What a way to start Mardi Gras

Woke up after dreaming that I had a date with Dan Aykroyd. That's a little weird all by itself, but as the dream progressed it was revealed that I was actively polyamorous, because I brought him home to hang out with my primary partner, Gregory House. Not Hugh Laurie. House. Who started bench pressing me.

Yeah okay, I don't even know what the red and spicy hell, subconscious.

Also it's finally snowing - we're due to get around 2-4 inches. Somehow after being shafted for snowpocalypse and snomageddon I'm just not all that impressed, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers. We'll ignore the fact that THIS IS NEW ENGLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND and we shouldn't be standing on the corners of New York and DC with little signs that say "Will work for snow." But hey.

I was super happy that Shen and Zhao won Pairs Figure skating. I have a very sneaking suspicion the judges might have willingly overlooked them screwing up a lift to do so, but I doubt they'll get any protest from anyone else. I love big romantic overwrought Olympic Dream stories like theirs. Tonight, the men go, and I get to happily ogle skater man-buttocks coated in unicorn jizz glitter.

I got a crapton done yesterday, here's hoping I can keep that trend going today.

(no subject)

I'm doing my never will be/never was psuedo Catholic/Christian half assed observation of Lent again this year and most of my "giving up" shit is internet related so if I seem to have vanished or am just real quiet you know why.

Things I will still be checking/logged into:

Gmail/Google Talk
Skype
Twitter (reading)
LJ
Fetlife
text messages

Everything else (mainly Facebook, AIM and Y!M) I'm offline unless it's Sunday. I've been off AIM and Yahoo since this past weekend, actually.

Generally this is a noise/distraction reduction measure in hopes that if I stop wanking myself with the Internet, I'll get other shit done. I'm just kinda appropriating Lent as a convenient excuse to do so.

This is why I love figure skating

You bet your sweet muscley squeezable skater assmeats I will be watching Evgeny Plushenko tonight (though I really doubt he'll be COMPETING with this routine.)

hattip to padparadscha for the vid. Also for your super burning eyeballs pleasure, watch it in high def.

Food crankies

Methinks I'm going to have to suck it up and start making honey dijon marinade from scratch. Mostly because I'm pissed to find that my favorite off the shelf stuff, much like any other commercial food product, has HFCS in it. Le Sigh. Not that I don't already more or less shop the edges of the store as it is, but still, gah. Unless someone knows of another brand that doesn't a) have the usual crap in it b) doesn't cost an all natural tree hugging hippie fortune. Fucking food industry.

Nevertheless, some very tasty chicken and rice was achieved this afternoon. Gonna have to do something like that again at some point. Nom.

In other news, my digestion's slightly less cranky and hurty this evening, so that's a bonus. I've been changing up how I eat in self-defense with this latest offensive ploy by my intestines. I suppose it's a hidden blessing, as eating crap makes me hurt so I don't so much; problem is eating the good stuff also hurts. Things that don't seem to hurt - smoothies, coffee, cheese, soy, chicken and rice. Guess what I've been eating a lot of. :P I won't lie, I've been sneaking the occasional cookie and glass of pepsi throwback in there. but not as much as I was in, say, December. So... progress. *sigh* I'm annoyed that it took having eating hurt for me to change up how I eat, but hey, whatever works.

Alas, skipping the skating and LOST tonight due to Cara having company and a raging headache that may be related to the HFCS adventure earlier. I'm getting super sensitive to that shit. :( Really miss having a nerf revolver at hand for when the obnoxious corn lobby commercials come on saying that the goop isn't bad for you.

...It was also pancake day today. Goddamn, but I am FIENDING for crêpes right now. We used to make them on Mardi Gras in French class every year.
