crab rangoons, you heal all wounds

is it any wonder i've packed on 12 pounds in 3 weeks, when my last 2 posts are dedicated to greasy foods?

it's back to plain yogurt, green tea and woodland creature grazings for the next couple of weeks. having had the firm intentions of initiating this effort precisely this morning, the healthy train was derailed by a series of events beginning with realizing i had bolted my door panel back on *over* my seatbelt, making me almost late for my misfortunate trip to the orthopedist, where they basically fucked everything up again and had no appointment for me, rendering me late for work for no reason whatsoever.

once at work, i had 3 people clamoring for my attention over this dire matter concerning a freezer where the top shelf is an entire 7 degrees warmer than the bottom shelf. clearly these types of things hindered the progression of science in newton's day, as well.

so 6 phone calls and 9 emails and one stomach ache later, when my coworker invited me out for chinese buffet, i was there faster than you can say "oh rearry?"

and i could feel the MSG-laden fat deposits coating my arteries, spawning upriver to flock to my thighs and buttocks. and at the same time a golden aura - nay, a patina of cholesterol - encompassed my soul and i knew exactly why people love the buffet.

we start on the all-asparagus regime tomorrow.
