So, I'm alergic to mushrooms. I've known this for YEARS. I'm scared of mushrooms. But still have an odd fascination with them. Like I want to beat them. I have mushroom ornaments at home. Maybe it's like some messed up shrine I need to set up to be reminded daily of their control over me and my bowels. So anyway, I'm in NYC right now (I didn't just drop that in, it's important to the story). Last night I went to one of my favorite restaurants here. Actually, the only reason it's one of my favorite restaurants is because it's in the lobby of my hotel so I can justify writing off a couple more glasses of wine since I didn't have to pay for a cab. But those 2 extra glasses of wine sure make everything taste SOLID. I digress... So last night, in this dark restaurant, I ate a great steak. 3/4 the way through the meal, I ask the bartendress (who actually recognized me finally after 2 years of eating there... according to her, I'm from the West Coast - first California, then Vancouver when I said I'm from Canada... drink red wine, not white... and own my own business... in finance... whatever, f*** close enough) what the wonderful sauce is. It turns out it's mushroom sauce, OH BOY! And the even better part is how mushrooms are mingling conspicuously with my squash as really tiny unidentifiable objects I THOUGHT were capers. DOUBLE OH BOY! So I finished the meal because, really, 1/4 more really couldn't make that big of a difference and the sauce did taste awesome. Long story short, I didn't die or poop my pants. Joel says it's simply 'mind over matter' but I know for a FACT I don't have enough mind to cover the amount of 'matter' mushrooms cause my body to expel. Inteeeeeeeeeeeeeeresting. I actually can't wait to experiment some more!! About the celebrities... So Perez Hilton of Perezhilton.com fame (pretty creative URL, hmmmm) seemingly has coined the phrase 'Celebretard' on one of his postings today. I have to admit, it's a pretty funny term, I even chuckled a bit. BUT REALLY, he used this clever term for a celebrity who covered their face from a shot from the Papzos... come on. Oh, and the celebrity is 'Sluttyienna'... who's career is 'over already'... so if her career is over, why did he waste the time and real-estate on her? Oh wait, he didn't waste that much time because a) he probably has been pocketing 'Celebretard' for a while and b) 'Sluttyienna' just really, really couldn't have taken much time. Good job!! I really need to get Celebritydefense.com up and running NOW! Peace. |
