Medical studies in the obvious
It seems to me that most of the studies lately are studying the obvious. Take these studies for example:
- MILD SADNESS PROVOKES DEPRESSIVE THINKING IN SOME RECOVERED PATIENTS
- EARLY DRINKING LINKED TO RISK FOR ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE
Something I ate doesn't want to stay in (6-29-06)
There should be a public service campaign about picking your nose in public. I have seen WAY too many people lately just sticking their fingers in their nose and digging things out. Luckily, I haven't seen too much eating of the boogers, but there is still a lot of picking going on in the subway. Maybe people think that because they are in an enclosed space, underground, that it is okay to launch into the nasal canal. Most of the pickers are men, over the age of 20. Men who should know better. There are a few number of oldies - and maybe that is acceptable. But there are a large number of Gen X and Y picking their noses.
Now it is not all men who do this. I have seen one woman pick her nose on the subway. She looked like Alice in Wonderland. She had straight blond hair and was wearing this pretty pink sweater set, skirt and cute shoes. She was wearing hose as well. She was listening to her CD player, reading in her notebook, and sticking her finger up her nose, like she was digging for gold. She just relentlessly went up there, digging forward, then back, getting to a corner or two. I watched her for two whole stops and finally had to get off (it was my stop) but she probably kept digging in there after I left. I think it was comforting to her.

Did you know there is a product out there by Bald Guyz called HeadWipes? I love their name and the name of their product. There is absolutely no question as to who their market audience is and what they sell. They sell head wipes. Who are they? Bald Guyz. Simplicity at its best!

Comments from my bacon confession
Email from Oliver K:
I’m doing a little bacon dance, and a little bacon chant. Well, in my head I am.
I don’t think there are enough bacon tee shirts.
I have an “I love butter” shirt, but that’s only half way there.
Why don’t they have bacon perfume? Ok, I guess I can figure that one out.
But, I have yet to eat rotten bacon. You win the bacon loving contest… dammit.
Email from Matt S:
Wow, yeah ... stay on top of those expiration dates.
And later in the elevator at work:
What were you thinking? You just kept eating the bacon...Munch, this tastes funny, munch, it still tastes funny...

My eyeballs feel like two sandpaper covered ping pong balls (6/21/06)
I forgot to tell you: two weeks ago, I experienced something pretty gross. Now if you know me, then you KNOW how much a stickler I am about germs and cleanliness. I am also really careful about food -- if it smells bad/looks bad/remotely tastes wrong, then it's out.
Well, one morning I decided to microwave some bacon (past bacon frying incident
made me wary of frying it in a pan).
Well, I nuked the bacon and it looked a little strange. However I have never nuked bacon before so what do I know? I took a bit and thought, hmm, that's strange. It doesn't taste right. It tastes not so good. Dare I say, off. But I thought, hmm, maybe it was just that one piece. So I took another slice and ate it. That one tasted weird too. I thought -- maybe it's just the applewood smoke flavor. Needless to say, I ate all the bacon even though I felt there was something wrong with it. So AFTER I ate the bacon, I checked the fridge and lo and behold! I ate the bacon I meant to throw away because it was a month past its expiration date. Needless to say, I wasn't well after that.
Fortunately, I haven't gone off bacon. I just throw things out of my fridge quicker.

My houseguests, annie and dabney, and my housedog, fiedler, were a joy to have around. They were here for the Renegade Craft Fair. Ann and Dabney have a business called Mogo (http://mogogoods.com/) and they were here in NYC (Brooklyn to be exact) selling their goods ;) I got the chance to teach Fiedler a new trick -- folding laundry at my laundromat. He's quite good at it now. Check out A&D's blog for a recap of the weekend and check out my blog for my recap and photos as well.

Tricks You Shouldn't Teach Your Baby
This is Catriona and her mommy and daddy taught her how to stick out her tongue. And now, she sticks out her tongue a lot.
She also has a great smile.
XOXO to Mija, Kevin and Catriona!

I'm only 33% Southern -- I am definitely a Yankee!
Try the "Are you a Yankee or a Rebel" test . I didn't think I was a Rebel, but I didn't realize how much of a die-hard Yankee I am!

Disclaimer to previous post
Gobi is not married to a giant preppy Superman looking guy, but she has a guy and they have a truly beautiful son named Pado.
Beano works 50% of the time (6-14-06)
It's Flag Day and it is also somebody's birthday. I don't know whose though. If it is you, let me know.
+======================+
I have been VERY remiss with my reporting. So quickly:
>> Went to Clermont, FL, and spent time with the folks. Learned that I am really an 80 year old trapped in a 33 year old's body. Love walking up at the crack of dawn. Love aquacizing. Love the early bird specials. Love the golf carts and the weird outfits while out on the course. Love it, love it, love it.
>> New York may not feel like summer yet, but it certainly smells like summer. If you haven't smelled NYC in the summer time, imagine a barge filled with garbage (most probably NY's garbage) on a hot summer day.
>> People should not wear stretchy cotton/nylon pants in public. Most of the time, that loose kind of material gets bunched up the person's ass and you can't stop staring at it. My mind keeps thinking, don't they realize they have a couple of inches of material up their butt? And it is TOTALLY unprofessional at work.
>> Most of my dreams revolve around shopping. Usually I am at a mall and I lost something while shopping. Those are the most frustrating dreams. It's usually my jacket or my purse or even sometimes a person. I never actually lose any of those things in real life. Actually, I don't shop much anymore. Maybe this is why I am having MORE shopping dreams than usual. What's interesting is recently JK Rowling was in my dream. She was being interviewed in a cafe and I saw her in the window. That was it. Exciting, huh? I also dreamed that I ran into my friend Gobi with her child and her husband who was this giant preppy guy -- sort of like Superman. Oddly mundane, don't you think?

THANKS FOR THE IKEA-ING, BOB AND RUSSELL
WELCOME BACK, LISA D
KEEP ON SWIMMING, DR. CYNTHIA

The box of seafood fun!
I am in FL with my parents this week and to celebrate Memorial Day weekend, I ordered lobsters and fish chowder from Legal Seafood. I have ordered other lobsters online but I think the quality of the lobsters from Legal are better. Here is the box. Scroll down for the narrative.
Lobster - Memorial Day Weekend 2006
This is the seaweed that the lobsters were packed in. My parents kept looking at it and saying, "We could eat that." As Koreans, seaweed is edible in almost all forms. However, I expressed my dismay at eating packing materials.
Lobster - Memorial Day Weekend 2006
Fish chowder -- can't beat Legal's fish chowder. Well, I am sure someone can, but in terms of mail order food, Legal's fish chowder is up there!
Lobster - Memorial Day Weekend 2006
The table is set. Lobsters, butter, kimchee. What else do you need?
