As most of you know, I love antioxidants, and lately have been ceremoniously immersing myself in pomegranates much like John Malkovich did with his fake hair in Dangerous Liaisons. For some reason, pomegranates call to me, call to me ever so eerily like sirens atop the jagged, certain-death rocks of deliciousness. My teeth will never be the same. They will be pink from now on, that's why.
In other news, I'm getting sick and it feels like some sort of glandular irritation which means I'll probably die soon so savor this post because it might be my last. I probably picked up the illness from my New Years Eve kiss vis-a-vis Maurice, my latest hamster puppet. Never again!
I'd also like to just throw in an apartment-renovation update for the mortally curious among you and tell you all that yes, I am still sleeping in the sleeping bag of doom atop the sagging sofa bed of the universe. It sags to the left side, FYI. The worst. I'm always dreaming about leaning on stuff now and I don't like it one bit, not one bit.
Hopefully you are all reading this in good health, eating some sort of chocolate-dipped item in the embrace of the sexy, sexy soulmate person of your choosing who loves you just the way you are. I'll just be here, spooning with my eventual spinal cord damage. Siiiiigh.

mmmmmm pomegranates...
Hope the sleeping bag venture is going well, it's kind of like camping.... but indoors and roasting hot dogs over a camp fire isn't really an option.
Love the picture, hamster puppets can be the devil!

You and your hamster love.
You should take more precautions or you'll end up with some disease like H.I.D.S.; Hamster's Inconceivable Dude Syndrome.

No, no, and no.
Damn; zero for three. Now I'm depressed and sick.

You can spoon spinal cord damage? AWESOME, I should never be lonely again with this revelation. Teach me, teach me how to spoon my spoiled spine.

nope. reading it alone in the dark. always pleasant reading your blog, though always in this case is only a few weeks time, as before that I was not aware you existed. how unbelievable ignorant of me.
try leaning a bit to the other side. might help.

Mmmm pomegranates soo good! I love how messy they get, and I also love having conversations with my boyfriend while he watches the juice drip off my face. I hope all is well. You seem like you'd be a great person. Hopefully one day our paths will cross.

"I'll just be here, spooning with my eventual spinal cord damage."
I strongly recommend you don't curl up when you sleep unless you're enamored of physical therapy office visits. For real. Straighten out.

You are priceless.
And so is your new hampster puppet.
I got two new hampsters yesterday acutally. One ,Luna ,is the sweetest hampster that could be. Looks all innocent face and loving. The other, Molly, is a ninja hampster.
You think i'm joking but NO! She actually swung her cute little foot around in the air and ninja kicked me. I tried to give her some sort of treat but she would grab it with her crazy hampster reflexes and toss behind her then go for my finger.
I'm kind of afraid to sleep at night. She gives me the evil eye. haha.
TRUE STORY!

Hohoho, I like the picture, It's so funny ;)

Living on a couch is the worst! :D Well, I guess to look on the bright side, at least the couch is long enough for you to lay flat.
I always seem to end up sleeping on a couch that is like 4 inchs to short and end up being the most uncomfortable night ever!
Posted by: Jonny D | January 16, 2009 at 12:17 PM
Kat, you always manage to make me smile. Feel better!
Posted by: kells | January 16, 2009 at 03:50 PM
Kat how did you know? I'm actually eating chocolaty toffee. Alas, no sexy soulmate here though. Though I may accompany you on the journey to eventual spinal cord damage thanks to my obnoxiously heavy school backpack.

hmmm, I think i'll have some chocolate covered pomegranates now.
Posted by: larry | January 17, 2009 at 02:35 AM
Funny, I'm eating Lambertz little wishes (filled wafers covered in chocolate). Don't hamsters like pomegranates too? I know my little Dwarf Hamster swarm ate any veggie/fruit I gave em.

Kat, you always make my day! Why dont you write a book? Or several...
My friends say you're my soul mate hehe...

I am an antioxidant junkie myself.

Sadly, I too suffer from illlness. I'm so stopped up I wouldn't be surprised if micro-sized beavers have infiltrated by nasal cavity and constructed a dam there. Hopefully, the beavers decide to move out soon. Also, my illness, or rather cold, has apparently given me super powers; my hearing seems heighten and sounds seem clearer. I'll have to get used to close, loud sounds if I retain my super hearing.
As for soulmate person, she has yet to be found but chocolate covered items may be attainable.
Hope you feel better and your renovations go well. Try seeking new koi pond or perhaps a zen rock garden.

You know Kandahar is the best place in the whole world for pomegranates. I'll email you a photo...where do you get your pomegranates from?
