45th - the three G's: gingerale, glucose and gravol are all GROSS

when i was little, i was afraid of ninjas. now that i think about it, i don't know why. ninjas aren't scary. plus, a pirate can totally kick a ninja's ass. i was stupid when i was little.

i can't sleep. so here i am blogging. I realized, i haven't done any recommendations, songs or books. so tonight, i'm going to do a bit of catching up. we'll start off with books. i figure one book a week is good. so i'm going to recommend four books tonight to catch up. i'll do quick reads. if you've read any of the books, feel free to leave your opinions about them.

creep - i. muderman
not the greatest book ever writen, but an interesting idea for one. it's a really quick twenty minute read. i remember reading this book out loud to a bunch of people.

the stupidest angel - christopher moore
really fun christmas book. it's a very quick read. this kid sees this woman kill santa [someone in a santa suit] and wishes santa wasn't dead. enter the bloody stupid angel to grant his wish. there's domestic violence, a fruit bat, zombies and ton's more. it's not remotely scary. nadia is reading it right now. very funny book.

the alchemist - paulo coelho
absolutely beautiful book. it's a really simple story about a poor shepard who loves a girl. he goes out looking for a treasure so he would be worthy enough to ask her father to marry the girl. along the way, stuff happens. that wasn't a great description but whatever. read the book. not optional. shiv gave me this book. it's part of my top five.

good omens - terry prachett & neil gaimen
also one of my all time favourite books. it's about this angel and demon who've been enemies since the beginning of time, but they see more of each other than their own, they're basically best friends. both have a liking for the universe as it is. so when it's about to end, they do whatever they can do not let that happen. really really entertaining book by two really really good authors. prachett is more the light-hearted one and gaimen is more the darker one. it's not everyone's thing but most people who i've gotten to read this, love it.

ok, those are my book recommendations. now to my song recommendations. like anyone cares about these. today's category is "love songs", the darker kind. i know, i definitely could have come up with a more original theme but it's almost 4am. eat me.

06 - air - playground love
05 - the cult - painted on my heart
04 - garbage - number one crush
03 - kidney thieves - s+m
02 - oasis - wonderwall
01 - nine inch nails - closer

ok, i could have made that list entirely out of NIN songs [we're in the together now, the fragile, la mer, perfect drug], but i didn't.

as the title of this blog suggests. i'm sick. have been feeling so for the past few days. it all started on sunday morning. i was coming out of my bathroom when i suddenly got really nauseous. i decided it's a good idea to get back into bed. i took about 2 steps because a bed seemed like a distant hope and finding the floor would do nicely at this point. i found it, about a foot above where it was actually located and hit the floor, chest first with a thud. it hurt, but i didn't care. i had found the floor. that was the worst of it. i'm much better now but i'm still getting boughts of nausea and random stomach pains.

mother made me drink some glucose water because i looked a little pale and some gravol to combat the nausea. shiv gave me a six-pack of ginger ale, which i thought was sweet. also disgusting, but the gesture is appreciated nonetheless. all three things are nasty.

we've got this thing from the motherland which is basically like metamucil but without the orangey flavour. it's called "spae-ghul" which if you literally translate in pushto [one of the languages we speak] means dog-shit. im not sure if this is a joke or this is based on what it tastes like. for the past few weeks, my dad has been trying to get me to drink this stuff every time i get a stomach issue. i can't. it's soo nasty and slimy and then there's the name. it's just not right.

ok, this is totally rude but i was talking to shiv today and we were somehow talking about dog shows and then somehow about koreans [yes, you can see where this is going] which lead to the question. do korean people watch dog shows wondering if these people are fu*king with them, by parading around dinner? also, do you think rich korean guys would pay top dollar to eat one of those show dogs? ok, i know that was jackassy and rude and racist and all that other good shit but it was just a joke. ok, it's not funny. here - i've probably eaten cat before.

so, i had a random dream about one of my friend's friends. not a sex-dream but close. long story short, the whole thing was brought to an abrupt end by her having very dry chappy lips. that's gross. lip balm/chap stick/lip gloss/etc isn't expensive or hard to use. use it.

ok - i'm tired. i'm going to go now. good night.

be good.
