we have wind gusts of 30mph and the lights were flickering earlier. can't shake the feeling that the power will go out while i'm watching lost. man i hope this season is good.
my craving for meat finally manifested itself in a dream. there was steak, sweet barbeque chicken, bulgogi... i didn't crave any of these things until i woke up this morning. just two more days to go until my month long, no meat challenge ends. i've already decided i'm going to visit the nearest korean restaurant for some chigae and kalbi. can't wait.

Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub:
"The real Charles Burnside has come up for air, perhaps in honor of Strawberry Fest!
And speaking of strawberries, Burny has apparently been into them already. There are traces of red on his lips and tucked into the deep fold at the corners of his mouth."
anyone who hasn't done this and wants to, consider yourself tagged.
if you plan on seeing cloverfield at a theater, sit back. and i mean way in the back. i saw it last weekend with my brother and a friend of ours. half way through the movie, she felt ill and had to leave because of motion sickness.
i did feel like i was on a roller
coaster ride but i didn't mind. i did, however, have a hard time
focusing on a few scenes and somehow i overlooked one small detail at the end. my brother asked if i'd seen it and when he described it, i had to find out for myself. there was another showing that was about to end so i popped in to see what i had missed. good thing i did because it answered the whole "where the hell did it come from" question.
anyway, the movie was entertaining and it did live up
to my expectation--it was intense...very blair witch meets godzilla in the mist.
i'm jealous. this kid dances WAY better than me.
never leave a burning candle unattended.
this actually happened a couple of weeks ago but i laughed at myself all over again as i was uploading the photo to flickr. i heard what sounded like a ticking time bomb coming from the living room, walked in to find the candle i left burning for about an hour had sprung a leak and was dripping onto the carpet. i need to stop multitasking at times like this, and find a better candle holder.
the temptation to read reviews about cloverfield is killing me. i'll be checking it out this weekend, and i hope it's good.
speaking of temptation, i've managed to stay away from beef, pork and poultry for 18 days now. and i haven't found myself craving it either. can't say the same about foods loaded with carbs. i suppose cutting back will be my next challenge come february. it'll be hard considering my sweet tooth has been acting up lately.
ice cream and amaretti
oh, and the photos are from week one of my semi-vegetarian diet. i did not photograph everything i ate, but after i looked at these images, i adjusted my meals to include more fresh vegetables and fruits. you'd think i would have done that from the get go. *sigh*
anyway, have a great weekend everyone.
