Sore throat, stuffed nose, pounding headache, exhaustion. Slightly delirious.

Windy outside, makes it sound like someone is breaking into the house.

Had some tapioca pudding. Tapioca pudding makes me nervous. It has those little chunks in it. What are those little chunks? I like them, but they make me nervous. I'm afraid to ask what they really are.

I have a headache from lack of sleep, but the headache is keeping me from sleeping. Who designed this f'ed up system? Easy unconsciennous should be compulsary with every ailment. It's not like I live in a cave and have to worry about the bears. Bears don't freaquent the burbs. I wish that evolutionary protective systems would kindly cacth-up with the times.

I had to look up how to spell bears. You'd think I would have learned that by now. Bears, Bares, beers,bayers. Too many possibilities.

ackkk! pooh!

Does anyone know what the chunks in Tapioca pudding are? Don't tell me if it's something icky.

the chunks are actually pasta

Alphonsus 02/12/2009

Pasta! It's not icky, but wtf is pasta doing in my pudding? Who the heck gave them permission to put pasta in pudding? There should be a law about that..

I never really cared for tapioca. I enjoy a good bannana pudding, though. I definatly feel for you with all the wind outside. It's pretty windy here where I am too. It can get creepy with an old house. Hope you're doing ok. :-)

Alphonsus 02/12/2009

Sorry. Thank you. I ain't doing okay. Miserable is the word.

I'm going to try to sleep again. With luck there will be no more tapioca comments tonight.

I always thought it was frog spawn. That's what Agnes the dinner lady told me at school.

I hope that you feel better soon and that sleep comes to you just as quickly.

deleted_user 02/12/2009

I prefer rice pudding. Kozy Shack sells them in individual servings now. Hope you get some sleep soon, I usually have to knock myself out with lunesta if I have a bad migraine and I can't sleep.

deleted_user 02/12/2009

LOL GoneWalk - you're funny! rice cakes and pasta pudding!

Do I HAVE to sing you a lullaby Alph? rofl

omfg, what a night. Weird dreams. Dreams about the note "la". La is the most mysterious note. All we know about it is that it's a note to follow So.

And the entire Do Re Mi scale is screwed up, if you ask me. No one ever talks about a Re sharp or a Mi natural. And what about the notes on the upper scale. "That brings us back to Do". So there are two "Do"s. How do we distinguish between them when we're talking about them. Is one of them, like, do prime? High do? Do Re Mi takes the entire musical scale and grossly over-simplifies it.

Is there really pasta in pudding, or is someone just screwing with me?

You are so right. I wish when I was sick I could justsleep through it & magically be better. But no I am usually so miserable I dont want to sleep, read watch tv. My hubby gets sick wakes up & he better. Now if only I could catch some of that

deleted_user 02/12/2009

apparently those chunky things are tapioca "pearls"

I never cared for tapioca either.....and WTH are pearls.

could be pasta I suppose.....

GROSS

Feel better soon Alph.....

Alph.. Im a bear.. that is spelled BEAR.. and yes, they do come to the *burbs* bringing you some homemade chicken soup..

deleted_user 02/12/2009

They put "bread" in pudding, they put "rice" in pudding (I love Kozy Shack, too), why NOT pasta?

deleted_user 02/12/2009

Tapioca is a starch derived from the cassava plant. The starch naturally forms little balls so in a way they are pasta like in that they are basically just "pearls" of starch.

Weird dreams - maybe blame it on the full moon. I have been having weird dreams lately too.

Hope things get better for you soon! Huggles!
