Dreams and Food
Oct. 30th, 2007 06:58 pmOkay, last night was awesome and I will definitely post more after I'm out of work, but for now...
Last night I had a weird dream that I was eating plain yogurt with bananas. I loved it. I was just eating it all up and loving every bite. I thought this was peculiar because in real life I usually eat a snack of one cup of plain yogurt with 17 grapes in it. Why grapes? Because it's the only way I can eat plain yogurt.
Usually plain yogurt's bitterness grosses me out and the only way it tastes remotely appealing is if I balance it off with the sweetness of grapes. The two flavors just work and I can get the benefits of yogurt without the added sugar. Only just barely, though. I tried plain yogurt with bananas once before but the bananas were too mild. I swallowed that snack down very reluctantly and was glad to have finished.
So tonight I just ate my usual yogurt snack and the yogurt didn't bother me at all. The usual distaste for the bitter flavor didn't strike me at all, which I also found peculiar. All I can figure is that my body decided it wanted or needed something in the yogurt so it used my dreams to tell me to start eating it again. It had been a few days since I last had this snack. Curiouser and curiouser...

Night of the Living Who?
Oct. 30th, 2007 07:33 pmLast night ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ciliandis and risingfire joined us for dinner at PHOP and assorted mayhem and chaos. It was a splendid time!
First we went to dinner. I used my open meal for the week so I wouldn't have to worry about counting exchanges, et cetera, and so we could just have a good time without worrying if I could eat something or not. Lots of fun discussions and fangeeking and general polite jackassery ensued. It was brilliant!
After dinner we headed to watch Doctor Who at our place. The whole drive there we had a sing along to Abbey Road, which was just awesome. When we got home we ended up looking through artwork and having more fun chatting first and then settled on watching The Five Doctors. Oh my dear stars was it an interesting experienced. We realized very quick (andpainted_wolf and I should have remembered this) that everything in the damned episode was "of Rassilon." We started referring to everything we saw around us as "The ______ of Rassilon." There was The Comfy Chair of Rassilon, The Guitar Stand of Rassilon, The Alien in Disguise as a Hat of Rassilon, et cetera. We figure if we took a shot of some liquor for every time something in the episode was "of Rassilon" then we'd all be pretty well pissed before too long. If there isn't a Five Doctors drinking game already I shall have to write one because it is so doable.
After The Five Doctors we decided to play a game of Carcassonne. Unfortunately us other three leftrisingfire way behind in score (sorry!) but we all had fun. painted_wolf took the game with ciliandis a close second. We only used the 24 extra tiles from the Games Quarterly expansion and the River, but no other expansions.
Then it was time forciliandis and risingfire to go, so I drove them back to Plymouth. On the way we listened to the mix CD that ciliandis made for me. It's a fantastic assortment! It starts with "Chick Habit" by April March (which some of you may remember from Death Proof) which is just an awesome song. It only got better from there. Sadly I had to leave them in Plymouth (no can has ciliandis and risingfire 4evar) and started the drive home.
On the way home I ended up rocking out to "Grace Kelly" by Mika all by my lonesome. I really must get that album. I've had a chance to hear most of Mika's album and it is simply wonderful. I must have, but I digress. Some Pepe Deluxe came on and I realized why I enjoyed them so much: they managed to capture the sound of early prog/art/psychadelic rock that I enjoy so much in early Yes (especially reminiscent of pre-Howe Yes), early Pink Floyd (especially Piper- and Saucer- era stuff) and just stuff like that in general. I love it. Thanks so much for the mix CDciliandis! ^_^
