Fat Tuesday

Today we had King Cake at work. It is a cake that they put a little plastic baby inside of it, and if your piece has the baby, you have good luck for the rest of the year. I got the baby! :D

I saw the Oliver Twist last weekend. I never had a chance to read that book. I asked someone once how it ended, and they said, "I don't know - he gets shot or something and dies." I can tell now they only read half of the book, or cliff notes.

I thought it was a sad ending. I may read the book, though.

I'm getting sleepy now. My days and nights got mixed up while I was on a mini-vacation last weekend. I took Friday off to sew my costume and relax, and see my allergist. I'm doing great - and I have great news -

My blood pressure is now 184. Six months ago it was 223. I've gone down 40 points! Yay!

And I'm still waiting for all the new year's people to clear out of my gym. It's super crowded now, and I have a hard time getting a good workout because you have to wait, and it's crawling with people.

I think I'll go take a nap now. Bye.

Isn't that also known as Epiphany cake? I've heard about it. I think it was also on the Finale of Top Chef this season. It does look like a really fun game.

I wish I could do something similar for GS.

I saw the Oliver Twist showings. Dunno, the ending just didn't really feel satisfactory for me. Oliver himself is really such a dull child. No personality. The more interesting aspects that draws in the audience is what's going on around him. Kinda like the eye of a tornado. Didn't really care for Fagen. I kept seeing the Wormtail guy from Harry Potter instead. I couldn't really buy that he was Jewish. And since he pretty much was involved in and guilty for the charges at the end, I thought that he kinda got what he deserved. He broke the law, so he got punished. Sure, the people in the court house were assholes about it, but eh, what can you do? Poor treatment of Jews was sadly common at the time.

Congrats on lowering your blood pressure!
