appetizers

goccia, in a mad advertising scheme, just spammed me their menu for a 5 course dinner. apparently, for $888, i can eat things like "crashed potatos" (mayday mayday!), "crayfish foam" (rabies adds just that extra soupcon of je ne sais quoi), dried cod mousse, and warm cherry soup. maybe i should've gone into chefery after all. i'm a pro at funny names on funny ingredients. lessee...we could have such delicacies as flicked spinach in clownfish (pants) sauce, airbladder stuffed with foie gras, and for dessert, squirted cinnamon.

but seriously, why all the innovation in food? do ppl's palates really get bored? mine certainly doesn't. i can eat tomato soups till the cows come home (and then i'll have a burger thankee). variety, sure, i'm all for variety. but at the end of the day, gimme the good ole classics.

oh, and in an update in my life, i'm hungry (all the time. no, even more so than usual. usually, i'm not hungry but can eat an inordinate amount b/c in a past life i was (briefly) a goldfish (until i popped)...now i'm actually physically panging in my tummy constantly...and regardless of what i eat, i seem to never be full...which is actually quite nice, but still weird).

an initiative: i am trying to work the interjections "sweet soya sauce!" and "dagnabit!" into my speech. if you talk to me, pls help out by telling me shocking/disappointing things.
