What Happened
I went out with some friends tonight to a haunted house. Well, it wasn't actually a house, but rather some closed down stores in the mall that have been rented out to do a haunted 'place'. More specifically, it was a closed down Luby's. Yes, the name should sound familiar as the chain that some gun drove through the front of, and shot people. Creepy. Strange that my friend wanted to eat at Luby's before going there. I'm thinking he must have some sort of psychic connection to it all.
If you want to know if the house was fun, I'm totally the wrong person to ask. I so full of apathy that it is darned near impossible to scare me (although I did jump at an unexpected door opening). Being close to Halloween, there were many orange things there to enjoy being in the presence of. Of course I enjoyed myself regardless of how much orange there was, and I can totally appreciate the excellent craftsmanship that went into it all. I think my friends also enjoyed themselves, and while Josh would never admit it, I'm pretty sure he was scared dipless there for a while.
Oh, and UT took their sweet time getting around to stomping OSU. What was up with that?
Eating Schedule
Started off the day with a glass of fresh carrot juice and 2 thin raw carrots cut into pieces and in that dipping olive oil stuff. That kept me pretty placated my hunger for a while there, and after a nap around 4:00 pm, I went and did the same thing, but with 3 carrots.
For dinner I went out with my friends to Mongolian Barbeque. For the uninitiated, this is some pretty cool stuff. Basically you start with a bowl and got to what looks like a salad bar and start putting things in. They have all sorts of sliced vegetables like cabbage, bell peppers, those tiny things that look like little corn on the cobs, pineapple, etc. They also have pieces of thinly sliced steak, chicken and pork that you put on. After that there are a series of perhaps 20 different sauces and oils that you can pour on them. You give your bowl to the cook, and they put the food on this large round heated surface to cook it all. After cooking, the food is brought to you and you enjoy it. It's not only a lot of fun, but if you do it a lot you really start to develop a strong sense for what foods work well together with what sauces. I don't do it enough. One big goal for a lot of people is since you only get one trip through with your (rather shallow) bowl, it becomes a contest to see how high you can stack food in it.
Fortunately for me, one of the vegetables was carrot peelings. So, I loaded up a bowl with carrot peeling, poured some spicy sauces on top, and handed it to the man to cook. I'm not sure, but I think the cook gave me a look. I actually really enjoyed this meal, as it was one of the first to do a good job of making carrots taste less like carrots. Unfortunately my body must have disagreed with me because a few hours later it is doing it's darndest to make sure every last bit of it has finished the process of going through my digestive tract. Unpleasant.
Tonight, I ate one large raw carrot to make sure I had something in there.
How I Felt
Pretty good. I got hungry while being out with friends, so I ate. I was absolutely stuffed after being there. And now I feel empty again because, well, I am. I am really happy there aren't any headaches anymore. Also, my mind felt relatively clear. I keep expecting to start receiving the bits of incredible insight that dying people usually receive, but they never come. Well, I guess you can't have everything.
Weight Measurement
One vitamin, helped down with water from my new wonder glass, leaves me at a wondrous 235.6 lbs. Normally I try to do a few runs on the scale, but the bathroom smells like something died, aged beyond the point that even a Scandinavian would eat it, and gave birth to some new form of life which died shortly after because of the oderipherous scent. 2 more days left before E-Day (Eat Day, the day of eating real foods).
