Well, I went shopping after work and got a buncha food. Then I came up with this idea of planning all my meals for the week why not. Never done that before. And it actually is a smart idea because sometimes I buy food and then forget about it or I come home and have no idea what to make and we end up going out or something. Also my roommate is gone for the week so it’s a hell of a lot easier. ALSO I want to cook more often! Here it is, for those who are just fascinated…

Monday:
lunch: green salad, beef patty with cheese and mustard
dinner: marinated salmon filet, two small steamed artichokes

Tuesday:
lunch: salmon leftovers, peeled carrot sticks
dinner: turkey taco salad del grande

Wednesday:
lunch: asian tofu salad, piece of fruit
dinner: grilled cheese on wheat & asparagus (have to rush because of class)

Thursday:
lunch: green salad, rice, almonds
dinner: marinated chicken breasts with hummus, steamed baby squash and bell peppers

Friday:
lunch: chicken leftovers, soup
dinner: homemade caesar salad, whole wheat pasta with cream sauce and mushrooms

Yes, I am now hungry. And of course, all the meat described above is of the organic or natural variety. I never buy meat from Safeway or Cala. It’s crap I tells ye.

Breakfast is always cereal or wheat toast with fruit, as well as occasional Niman Ranch bacon. I can’t believe how long it’s been since I have had coffee. OVER A WEEK!

I took the morning off to save myself from my hideous office chair. YES THEY STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED IT. In spite of doctor’s orders. After lunch at home, I met Brian at the gym and we had a good workout. I am (eek) feeling better. I went to work and sat stiffly in the chair for three hours, then left.

Last night we went to the screening of Gojira in its glorious original 1954 incarnation, subtitled, and unedited. No lame and racist insertion of “American reporter” Raymond Burr. They left in all the politically charged anti-nuke testing scenes. It’s funny, for most Americans who haven’t seen the original cut of this film, you would have no idea what an incredibly dark and controversial picture it really was.

Sure we all laughed at the poor special effects of the monster in his rubber suit, but the scenes of fire and mayhem and suffering were truly harrowing, and the comparisons to the atomic bombing of Japan only nine years earlier were practically mentioned out loud.

Sadly, it was after this movie’s success that the Godzilla pictures that followed became increasingly campy and silly. If you get the chance, see it as it was intended, see it in Japanese.
