Even More Wrecked

On Monday we had a visit from some of the people from the film Star Wreck. We had met Timo Vuorensola, the Director, before so it was really fun to have them here at our house.

They brought us t-shirts and a copy of their new Imperial Edition dvd of the remastered film with newer, more fabulous, special effects. That film is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I laugh ever single time. And as a Star Trek fanatic and huge fan of Babylon 5, I think it's brilliant and ingenious. I hope I get to meet The Emperor, er... I mean, Captain Pirk someday...

And this is a first: the t-shirt fits. They brought me a size small in pink! Yay! People are always giving me t-shirts and they are usually black (yuck) and size large or xtra-large which looks completely ridiculous on me. This t-shirt is something I will actually wear (yes, in Real Life too). I love it. Thanks, guys!

Yesterday I woke up with the beginnings of a cold. The one where your voice is hoarse and you can't talk. Yea, I know, that's a good thing in some people's minds. Haha.

I felt pretty crappy most of the day. After a terrible night's sleep where I woke up multiple times, today I feel worse. It has moved up into my sinuses and my face feels like it is going to explode. Ouch! Although my voice is better I still can't talk much because the resonance makes my face hurt. Ouch, stop that! I barely have the energy to sit at my computer so I guess I'll just veg on the sofa today and hope I feel better by Saturday when we fly back to California. I have never been sick when flying and I dread the possiblity.

Meanwhile, John is going to lunch and a long walking excursion with our friend Ramsay so I have to fend for myself for food today. Note the photo of the refrigerator.

Ok, here's the thing. John turns the food sideways, with the labels facing forward, so I can find it. Really. I tend to not eat right when he's not around. (Let's not even think about those 5 weeks he was away in September). I go to the refrigerator and say "there isn't anything to eat, it's all just a bunch of containers." Well, I don't really say that, I'm not that stupid, but I do have a mental block about going to the refrigerator to find appropriate food. I end up eating pretzels all day and then complaining when I gain 3 pounds.

So his turning the labels forward means I can't miss that curry chicken salad, or the cabbage and corn salad, etc. Yummy! I feel better already.

John and Jan- Glad you're coming back! Cool video. Come to our piano trio concert at St John's in Berkely at 3 pm (you'll be jet-lagged...so maybe not) Let's go out and eat soon. I still need to try Nina's. xx-Tanya
