Adventures in Gastronomy

Trigger West Bay is apparently my porn or drag name (my first pet’s name and chilchood street address) and that’s who I was yesterday as I woke up with a bit of laryngitis. Of course, I didn’t realize this until a few hours later while at work when my phone rang. Since I live alone and work in a private office, I’ve come to realize that I have very little communication with other people.

Then my phone rang, I picked it up, and I sounded like a drag queen. It caught both me and my caller by surprise.

The funny thing is this little speaking issue isn’t accompanied by any other symptoms. Maybe it’s because I’ve had the fan blowing on me at night? There is a bit of pain if I try talking too much (but living the solitary and antisocial life that I lead prevents that from happening).

Oh, my plans tonight with high school friends have been postponed due to family issues. And for once, they’re not mine! I guess Jessie needs to take care of the kids while her husband has some law school thing to attend.

OK – so here’s a List of Five type thing I snarfed from Karyn’s blog (Vexed in the City):

Five Things in My Closet

• an Aibo robot dog. I inherited this in the break-up with Matt because he owed me money (it in no way comes close to the amount he owed, unfortunately). It scared him because it had red eyes or something. I meant to sell it on ebay but it’s just sat in my closet for a year and a half
• Original Beatles toys/magazines/cards from the 1960’s. I discovered these while cleaning out my friend, Regina’s closets after she died.
• Clothes. More than I ever wear. I should probably go through and weed some out
• Games. Like Scrabble, Clue (Simpsons version), Gayopoly, Pervartistry. Plus playing cards (some with nude men)
• Zwiffer.

Five Things in My Car

• NOTHING. I don’t own a car.

Five Things in My Freezer

• Fish (from Whole Foods)
• Trader Joe’s broccoli (I wrote that just for you Karyn!)
• Edy’s “all-fruit” popsicles…that had apparently melted in transit so now the sticks are completely surrounded by popsicle so I haven’t figured out how to eat them yet.
• Eggo blueberry waffles (over a year old…must be freezer burned)
• Trader Joe’s organic asparagus

Five Things in My Bag

• Magazine (Boston Spirit)
• Aspirin
• Blue pen.
• Business cards
• coupon to Herrell’s Ice Cream Shop

Books on My Nightstand

• Um – I don’t really have a nightstand. Just a mini file cabinet. But on it you’ll find “The Life and Times of Harvey Milk” (the only book there), plus an alarm clock, table lamp, ear plugs, and a remote control for my bed (it’s a Sleep Number bed).
