Swishing

I am so scared of getting sick right. My Death Cab For Cutie cover band has to record a new album in a few days and if I get sick, I will ruin everything. If I get sick, I won,t be able to hear because I'll be terribly congested. I,ll be super uncomfortable so I,ll just want to get everything done as quickly as possible so it,ll I won,t care about how bad everything is. I,ll be irritable and fussy so I,ll make everybody,s job harder. If I get sick, I,m just going to quit playing music. It,s the only appropriate response.

For how worried I am about getting sick, I sure don,t do much to prevent it. I eat a vitamin each day. That,s eat. I eat a vitamin and pretend that it counteracts my terrible bread and cheese diet. I really have been eating only bread and cheese lately. I,ve eaten pizza the past four days which is both gross and cool. Some of the pizza was exceptionally great and some was embarrassingly bad. I loved every bite.

The best part was when I bought a trash pizza and then dipped the entire thing in delicious, molten cheese sauce. That was an unheard of level of decadence that I never thought possible. It was incredible. Unfortunately, because my blood has now been replaced with melted cheese, I am probably going to get sick and ruin everything not only for myself, but for several other people.

What are people supposed to do when they don,t want to get sick other than eat healthy and get enough rest? I generally get enough rest. I go to bed as early as most seventy year olds. I eat those vitamins I mentioned earlier. I had a piece of broccoli last week. What else does my body want from me? I,m only one person. I can,t be expected to take care of an entire living person who is also me.

Breakfast For Lunch

My Death Cab For Cutie cover band is recording another dumb record in a couple of weeks and we played a dumb show the other night. We usually try to learn the songs we,re going to play before a show, but not this time. We hadn,t practiced them at all because we,re too busy trying to learn how to play the songs we have to record so it was a fun show.

It was nice to go from getting paid to play for zero people on a huge stage to getting paid nothing to play for a handful of people on a tiny stage. It just goes to show that music is stupid and not worth the effort or money it takes to do it. It is an incredible waste and I am an irrevocable fool for participating in any of it.

It was a surprisingly fun show to play, though. Our friends were hanging out and we didn,t care about how bad we sounded and we wiggled jubilantly. I think that,s what made it so fun - the wiggling. I mean, we generally wiggle while playing, but this time the wiggling was just right. Not to hot, not too cold.

Our last album took us six months to make. We are only giving ourselves two weeks to do this one so it will probably turn out way better (unlikely) or way, way worse (probably). It doesn,t really matter that much to me, though. We,re not paying for it. Now that we,re rock stars, we,ve got somebody else footing the bill. They are going to be so mad when we send them a bunch of trash.

Balsamic Reduction

I can,t believe how much Indian food I have been eating recently. It,s unreal. I guess it,s probably not that unreal to most people, especially Indian people, but it,s unreal for me. I used to really dislike Indian food and now all I ever do is wish that it was cheaper so I could eat it more often.

I ate it twice last week. Actually, I ate it three times. Once for dinner. Then I had leftovers the next day for lunch (still counts as another meal). Then I had it for lunch a few days later. That last one was intense. I ate so much colorful slop. What a treat. I love punishing my body. I love the feel of spices exiting my meaty vessel.

I thought about trying to learn how to make some myself because I figured that would be cheaper than going to a restaurant because that,s how food always works, but I looked up a recipe for something I wanted to make and it had thirty ingredients and I only had five of them so I decided that I am much too lazy for that kind of undertaking right now.

There is no way I,m going to go to a specialty grocery store and buy a bunch of stuff and get frustrated while cooking and have it end up terrible. That,s not what I want right now. What I want is for Indian food to be cheaper so I could eat it more often. If I keep wanting that, it might happen someday. That,s my attitude.
