Allergy season is something that hasn't ever affected me. I don't get hayfever and pollen, to me, is something that other people are constantly annoyed with during the spiring and summer months. In my case, allergies mean something year-round and should be avoided at all costs. Here are my two allergies:
Coconut is something I wish I wasn't allergic to because I actually like the taste of it. When I was little, a friend of mine let me have a handful of shredded coconut at lunch, and I ended up sick for two days; it was the first and last time I tasted the stuff. My poor husband, who loves coconut desserts (especially cakes) ends up going without it most of time. It also makes eating Indian and Thai food quite difficult as this ingredient is used frequently in those recipes.
The other allergy I have is of the prescription drug variety: penicillin. This allergy was discovered when I was about five years old, and I was rushed to the hospital with a nasty case of tonsillitis. After the injection, I became even sicker and developed a horrible rash - I don't remember much, but I do know that I ended up having to stay in the hospital even longer because of it. It turned out that this allergy is hereditary - my great great grandfather was also allergic to penicillin, and sadly it was the cause of his death. Therefore, I'm always very careful to let people know about this allergy in case of an emergency.
You can now consider yourselves informed. =P
Let's see just how smart all you cookies are. Watch the video below, but remember: sometimes you need to be observing more than the announcer asks. Enjoy and good luck.
however you seriously can't help loving this little girl's three minute summary of the original film. She almost makes me want to pick up a copy....almost. Enjoy the cuteness.
Tired and weary from a long day and annoying commute home, I walked into to my apartment to find half of my signed Shaun of the Dead poster dangling to the floor. Buttons (our cat for those who are new), at some point during the day, managed to slice right through the center of the poster, almost tearing it into two separate pieces.
As soon as I realized what had happened, all I could find the strength to do was stand there with my mouth agape....then tears started to roll down my cheeks. After a few minutes of acting like an emotional nerd, I pulled myself together and inspected the damage closely - it wasn't looking good. Carefully I removed the poster from the wall and began the process of taping it back together. The poster, thankfully, wasn't destroyed, but there is a long tear that arcs across the entire length of the sheet - and it's completely visible.
I think Buttons knew he'd done something wrong when he looked at me, as his eyes immediately fixed to the floor like a small child in trouble. I can't blame him though, accidents happen....I just wish it hadn't been with this one poster. This isn't exactly how I wanted to start the week. >_<
This is for the Gladys Knight fans I know. Enjoy!
One thing I haven't had a great deal of time for, but miss terribly, is taking pictures. Whether it's of new toys I've acquired or interesting events going on throughout the city, I really enjoy snapping lots of pictures.
The picture to the left is one of my new photos; I'm still working on the rest (editing, editing, editing). The more I work on editing the photos, the more I wish had programs such as aperture and Photoshop....a girl can dream, right? Until then, I will grumble and make do with my copy of iPhoto. Admittedly, I do like the way this picture came out after a little tweaking. ;)
So, I just finished Growing Pains by Billie Piper. As far as autobiographies go, it's one of the best ones I've read. I would recommend it to anyone who's interested knowing more about Billie, and how her career has been shaped over the years. Although Billie has persevered and triumphed in the entertainment industry, her early years were quite harrowing. I truly respect her and applaud her success - she deserves every good thing she gets!
Next on the list, thanks to my wonderful friend Kelly, is The Golden Compass. I'm really looking forward to reading it - I've been wanting to do so for years! Kelly was kind enough to get me the trilogy in it's entirety, so the other two books will be next on my list. Thanks again for the books - you totally rock!
Due to the creation of the video iPod and Nintendo DS, the last few years have been spent playing games or watching TV shows/Movies while I eat lunch and make my daily subway commute. This year however, thanks to inspiration from my good friend Kelly, I've decided to read more books. I don't have a pre-made list of the books I hope to get through, but here's a run down of what I've read thus far and the book I'm currently reading:
Currently Reading:
Growing Pains by Billie Piper
Book Completed:
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
The 2008 goal is a book a week - let's see if I can do it! I'll keep all of you posted. ;)
It's really hard to go to sleep when you fear that another car will come through your front yard fence and almost hit your house. Yes, this actually happened today. I probably won't sleep tonight.
