So just in case anyone is wondering what we have been up to...
Tasha is still "damaged" her cast stinks so bad that sometimes when we are sitting on the couch I get a whiff of it and it reminds me of a stale box of "bits and bites" fried bacon and wet dog combined. So let's just say I'm not sure who is more anxious to get it taken off. Also she has not done any dishes for weeks, or made any food, she just looks at me with puppy dog eyes, raises her cast and says I can't.
I have been insanely grumpy, losing weight, not fun. I am in Shwarma withdrawls...they said smoking was hard to kick,not like I smoke, but if it's harder than giving up Shwarma Palace chicken platter, man thank you baby Jesus that I never started!
So I am almost content with my manorexia. Hopefully it will pay off later this year. I know it may not seem obvious, but when I was in Europe, I was looking around at the start line and this voice said "You are 10 lbs too heavy to race these guys". I wanted to tell the person to F off, until I realized it was my own voice. So instead of making excuses, I had to take matters into my own hands and take some goodness out of my mouth. I'm so friggin sick of eating carrots and celery...not to mention it would be nice to be full, but I just remeber how bad I got my ass kicked in Europe and I cut up some more celery and pour a tall glass of water...mmmmmm oh how I love vegetables.
So other than that....You have to watch "The Peaceful Warrior" with Nick Nolte, he looks kinda ruff, not sure if he's on the wagon or out of rehab, but this movie is about a gymnast and it's actually suprisingly good. There are pretty intense moments in the movie and it has to have some of the greatest quotes ever for athletes.
"A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does"
"A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulernerability, he is about absolute invulnerability"
Other than that I've also been reading "The gum thief" by Canadian author and artist, Douglas Copeland...the book looks kinda girly, it has a white and pink cover but it's about this goth chick that works at Staples and this older man who's life has gone to shit. Natasha made fun of me for buying a book that looks like a chick book, but I'm sure this guy wasn't thinking "yah I'll write this book and make a white and pink cover", I'm sure that's some young advo type person's idea. So what ever, so it looks girly, it's pink big deal it's not like I'm reading Sisterhood of the travelling pants or the Yah Yah sisters or a book with Fabio on the cover.
It sounds kind lame but it's quite clever and it's worth the twenty three bucks, it's quite whitty and you'll find yourself lauhing alot. I'm not really one to read fiction, I usually read books that are observations on society and that make me look highly intelligent and usually regard much popular fiction as boring and lose interest after 100 pages, but hopefully this one will keep me interested in all 237 pages.
Can't wait to see how the Canaucks do at World's this weekend...Good luck.

Stop, Stop Now. You are making me laugh too much. Is there an arm equivalent of the velcro boot? Could you dump scented oil or something inside the cast?
In an effort not to become portly while crippled I've made some rules for myself. No wine on weekdays and no chocolate on weekends. How ever I can substitute wine for chocolate on even days during the week.
Josh totally covets my Erwin mug but he can never have it.

Go swimming if the cast is fiber glass! Does the arm wonders! Cleans it up completely!
