licking my chops

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.

'cloverfield' illness

nobody@vox.com(gamany) — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:12:23 -0500

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.

What's Behind ‘Cloverfield' Illness?

http://www.medicinenet.com/script/mai...

Jan. 22, 2008 -- Scan the news and blogs and not only do you see that Cloverfield had a record-breaking opening weekend, but there was an unforeseen side effect: nausea. And it didn't come from the popcorn, or the writing -- but the camerawork.

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.

note to self

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.

must resist

nobody@vox.com(gamany) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 13:49:09 -0500

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

here's a snippet of my meat-free, high-carb diet. *hangs head in shame* feel free to click on the images for a larger view/description over on flickr.

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.
