Appetizer
What is your favorite herb or spice?
I love the flavor of oregeno, though it doesn’t really pair well with many non-Italian dishes.

Soup
Name a song you like but haven’t heard in a long time.
“Three Days” by Jane’s Addiction

Salad
If you were to take just one minute to write down as many things as you can think of that you need (not want) to do, approximately how many things would there be?
Three…two…one…go!
Pay bills…clean out boxes of crap at the end of the hall…scoop litter boxes…fill up cat water bowl…finish speech…practice speech a million times before Tuesday…go to ECERS training in the morning (on a Saturday, YUCK!)…finish straightening up desk and organizing office…drink more water…go for a walk.

Main Course
Tell something interesting about one of your family members (nothing scandalous, please, just something unique).
My paternal grandfather was a prisoner of war and survived the Bataan-Corregidor Death March during WWII. He didn’t like to talk about it much while he was alive but I heard stories from my grandmother and father. Understandably, Grandpa always lived by the code: That which does not kill me makes me stronger.

Dessert
What’s the latest you’ve ever stayed awake?
A couple times in high school some friends and I stayed up all night, smoking pot, watching movies, listening to music, discussing our lives, and driving out to a good spot to watch the sunrise. That was over 10 years ago, though. These days, I’m lucky if I make it past 10pm!

You, too, can play along at Friday’s Feast! But let me know here if you do so I can come see!

For my next speech in my Public Speaking class, I am assigned to present three websites that I frequent or that I find very interesting/fun/etc. I have a couple of ideas already, which include, but are not limited to: my blog, Apple Movie Trailers, Strongbad, PostSecret and Isis Bookstore.

What are some other web sites that you think I should consider?

He ate my night guard.

$175 worth of dental science immediately turned into a chew toy and gone in an instant. I told you he was spoiled!

Honey and I used to have great health insurance through his place of employment. But earlier this year, they switched insurance companies and they have finally pissed me off!
To summarize: Remember last month when I was having all that trouble with my painful teeth? Well, with all the pain and bouncing back and forth between two or three dentists, I ended up getting three different prescriptions for pain killers. The last one I only asked for six pills because the previous two scripts didn’t even work and I didn’t want to waste the money or the pills if this one didn’t work. It’s irrelivant but they did work and I only took two and everything’s fine now. But I guess the insurance company threw up some red flags when they saw these three prescriptions go through for me withing two weeks. So they called to offer me some kind of helpful-nurse-who-will-call-to-check-on-my-well-being bullshit. Basically, it’s a registered nurse who was supposed to call and help me manage my pain by offering me helpful photocopies through the mail and other such magical medical nonsense. They never SAID that they knew about the pain killers but I’m pretty sure that’s why they called in the first place.

So here’s where it starts to get interesting… (more…)
