Margaret, meat, veggies
Zuul is currently using my arm as a pillow. So cute! Must type in non-disruptive fashion.
Margaret Atwood was awesome. She had people performing the hymns from the novel and doing dramatic readings. She only had about 10 minutes of Q&A, though. I wish it had been more of that. She's so famous, though. This was stop 13 of 20 on her tour. She must get tired of answering questions.
I am pretty tired now. Still getting over my cold.
Here's a conversation I had with my boss the other day. She forgets that I'm a veggie on a nearly daily basis, but this was a new record.
Her: So, being a vegetarian, what kinds of things do you put in your food to give it flavour?
Me: Oh, spices, things like that.
Her: You must be a pretty good cook by now.
Me: I think a lot of women my age are pretty experienced with cooking.
Her: Do you ever buy a cooked chicken from the supermarket and then just add your own flavours and spices to it?
Me: No, I've never done that.
Her: Oh.
Me: You know why?
Her: Why?
Me: Because I'm a vegetarian.
That's right, she forgot about it in four sentences (and yes, she is aware that chicken is not vegetarian). Actually, she's very similar to my dad in that way. Not with the veggie thing, but my dad has these weird mental blocks on certain things where you can tell him the same thing 17 times and he still won't remember. I think it's hilarious.
My roommate is roasting a sow in our backyard for his birthday this weekend. Lots of people will be coming over. V exciting.
