it's the last monday of may and things are getting even more hectic at casa sandrita. quick update:1) still coughing, which is scary. so i'm going vegan for the next 3 weeks to speed up the healing. will have to be vigilant also about hidden dairy and sugar in stuff i eat. to make the vegan vow feasible, i've stocked up on leafy veggies and mushrooms and salad stuff. will commence chopping herbs (basil & coriander) after i post this. i would kill to have fresher produce but i live in the big bad city. since my flat is spitting distance from a mall (and a new one across the street from that), i buy my nosh from the grocery. i try to shop on days when they've just replenished their veggie stock; otherwise i might end up with dead & wilted greens.
2) my friend partybread is in england right now for a conference. he sent me some photos of castle coombe, a village near bath, with an old crumbling church. but he's in london now, and just sent a video of the poet's corner (at westminster abbey?). lots of dead white guys there, all the names we read in school. methinks my friend is going on an english major's pilgrimage, as watching othello at the old globe theater (a replica) is also on his itinerary.
3) went to church last night after a long-ish spell of not going. sat with my cousins, R & G (due to give birth july). G asked how the wedding plans are going and when i said we haven't done anything actual planning, she gave me an earful. she told me to at least imagine what kind of wedding i want, to draw up a wish list. some ideas:
- wedding in may 2008
- on a rooftop, with maybe kites (balloons are evil)
- ceremony ends at sunset
- no color theme, just cream or bone or ivory, maybe old gold accents
- paper planes for invitations
- no wedding cake, just a big stack of iced cupcakes with little flowers so everyone can eat
- easy sings capital I, cel sings lowercase N, polymath picks the music to eat by
- marby is best man, ricky is maid of honor
- kitty is flower dog
