I've noticed that some people think it's ok to toot on a full tube. It's not. It's not even a little ok. When like 100 people are packed into one compartment and no one can move and everyone is trying not to make eye contact with the person whose face is just inches from theirs, this is not the time to ADD to the extreme discomfort by tooting. Especially if you know your toots are deadly. Hold that shiz in!!!
This evening on the tube an older man was sitting next to me, though there was one empty seat between us and he was asleep. He was snoring a little and then he suddenly let our the Mother of All Toots. I'm talking loud and extended. I actually jumped then turned to stare as it went on and on and on. Seriously, with all that air inside of him, I'm surprised he wasn't floating. He continued to sleep, not knowing how he had shocked the other passengers so deeply. Luckily there was no scent, or at least it didn't reach me. But it was hilarious. I totally started laughing cause HOW FUNNY IS THAT?! You had to have heard it cause it went on forever. By far the highlight of my week.
My weekend plans? Nothing. This stupid freaking weather has ruined my plans way too many times. I'm not going to give it another chance. Instead I will plan to spend my weekends indoors and so no plans can be ruined. Ha! Take that weather!!! I will spend the next couple months' weekends catching up on my reading, seeing the occasional play or movie and trying out wondrous new recipes. This weekend I'm not sure what I'm making yet. I'm contemplating trying for some goat water or 'mannish water' as the Jamaicans call it. Also thinking I might do some fish. Mmmmm, fish. And I'm thinking wraps with chicken, goat's cheese and various pestos for my lunches next week. Tasty!!! I forgot how much I LOVE experimenting with wraps.
I'm also contemplating swimming as a fitness routine. Maybe an hour two or three times a week. I just need to buy one of those caps for my hair because we all know I will NOT be dunking my hair under water three times a week any time soon. Anways, apparently it's the best exercise there is because it literally works every single muscle in your body. So either I swim or I do the 'swimming' Pilates exercise on my mat for an hour. Either way, I will become more fit. Cause so far, I've miraculously managed not to put on weight, or at least only put on two or three pounds then drop it right away, but that luck may run out now that it's Christmas. Time to buckle down!!!

Scary Randomness
Had a nice week. Working and such. Went for Thai last night for my friend's birthday. I've been eating a lot of Thai food since I came here. Thai food is great. You should eat some soon.
I'm sick also. Stuffy nose and sore throat and slight cough. I don't think it's H1N1 cause there's no headache or fever so it's all good. Except it sucks cause I hate being sick. I'm very lazy already and the sickness makes me even more tired. Today it took me four hours to work up the energy to get out of bed, shower and go to the grocery store. And it started pouring, which was LOVELY. So I got drenched. If I wasn't sick before, I am definitely sick now. Anyways, I decided to cook so that I'll have food to eat this week. I made this lamb dish that I'd been thinking of. Basically lamp steaks with coconut milk, spices, garlic, onions and button mushrooms in a dish and stuck it in the oven. Turned out great! Then I also made what I call 'Asian chicken'. I call it that because I made a it in a bit of a tangy sesame sauce. It's really good too actually. Both from scratch. I really may have to start a cook book while I'm out here so I don't forget these recipes. I also fried some plantain because I've been craving it for a while.
Random sighting to share: today at the grocery store, I looked over and this tall old man had dried blood all down the side of this ear and neck. It was disgusting. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't sure if he was aware of the blood but he had to be because there was a lot. And how do you say that? 'Um excuse me sir, are you aware that you seem to be bleeding?' I was actually scared that he was crazy or had been in some kind of fight, or worse, was just bleeding from his ears. I didn't want to be around in case he went beserk or dropped dead so I quickly left the aisle. I'm still pretty shook up though cause it was REALLY gross. Eeewww.
Another random event: yesterday, took the tube home late, around 12:30 from my friend's bday dinner in the East end. At one stop, this young guy with a shaved head got on the tube and sat directly across from me and started staring at me. He was probably about 17 or 18 and had the creepiest green eyes. He was holding a beer and wearing all black. CREEPY. I wasn't certain he was starting at me but when I risked a quick glance at him, he definitley was. And he had this horrid little half smile on his face like he totally knew he was creeping me out and seemed to be enjoying it. At the next stop I practically ran off the tube, walked down and then got into another compartment. He did not follow me, thank God. But then when I got off the tube at my station, I noticed that he got off too, but I was behind him so he couldn't have seen me. I didn't know what to do so I walked slowly hoping he would be long gone by the time i got out of the station. But then he veered off to the right, into a corner, and opted to urinate. I pretty much ran past while his back was turned and got the hell out of the station. I kept looking back but thank God, if he came out of the station, he went the other way. Soooo creepy though. He just looked totally evil, you know? I've never met anyone who actually gave me a feeling like that from the moment I saw them.
So that was a lot of scary randomness between last night and today so I'm hoping that's my quota for the rest of...my life, maybe? Really hope so. I prefer the funny randomness to the scary randomness.
