the girly who shall end all girls

the diet is succeeding, despite the influence of Satan ;)

we had dinner at the grown ups' table on Friday, even if we did make the lounge singer do Bohemian Rhapsody. he was quite game, i nearly cried with laughter, and i think he got five bucks' tip from everyone at the table. the food was good too.

Saturday was super-loungey, slept in, got groceries & videos. i watched stuff C would never sit through while he wrote - ( Far From Heaven )( and The Business of Fancydancing )
finally saw Alien on the big screen, and met raevnos in the process.
today was about dim sum brunch, tasty and "gelatinous, " winetasting, peacocks, and doughnut temptation. we got some vitamins and muffin mix on the way home, and then slept until five or so. i may be staying home from work tomorrow, depending. can't breathe through my nose anymore, even with drugs.
i'm reading this nifty little book called The Fox Woman more magic realism than fantasy about a kitsune in love with the man who owns the estate she grew up on. seems to be just post-Genji in setting...layered silk robes, animals, poetry, sex. good so far. i'm thinking it would make great bunraku or maybe noh, with a kyogen as brother fox and a great dance for our heroine's journey to get a human skull so that she can work her transformation from fox to human. yeah.

Dunkin' Donuts. You know you want one.

Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.

last night left me so knackered i couldn't tell cervantes from armendariz at work, so i came home.
i slept this afternoon and it wasn't enough, & decided to skip chorus rehearsal tonight in favor of lounging. kept the tv off and made chicken smothered in salsa con queso and steamed green beans (seven net carbs). then i read The Crystal Cave to C while he fixed tomorrow's lunch. i forgot how good it is.
