The acupuncturist wants me to avoid spicy and heating-generating (from a chi-perspective) foods, and these are the stuff that makes my diet go. Luckily, wasabi seems to be ok. But acu-dude winced visibly when I described last weekend's one-two birthday party punch: the 30 year old's party was at a tasty (and spicy as all get out) Jamaican restaurant in West Oakland on Friday eve, and the 1 year old's dol sang was at a Korean restaurant Saturday. So, stuff me full of tofu and cucumbers and green tea for a while.

Wednesday's PT session featured both the domestic and martial flare-up contributors--the physical therapist critiqued my knitting technique (verdict: my knitting form needs major work) and let me do one run-through of the first jo kata on Wednesday with a mini-jo, after which she said said: "That's so cool.... Don't do that for a while, though." Although I've been sitting out large chunks of aikido classes of late and not knitting, the pain isn't going away really. Filing hurt today. Filing? Should not hurt. Today, she threatened to put my arm in a sling to make me rest. I told her maybe we'd consider that after the B-squatch's test Sunday. Oh, and the softball game Monday (we have a bye the following week, so this might work out).

I need to exercise; my weight's not great, my aerobic fitness level is craptastic, and my blood pressure's in that not-so-good creeping towards 140-90 again. Sounds like it's gonna be a lot of exercise biking for a while though. Any of the locals want to walk around the lake, say next Thursday?

Upon retiring to Chez Rissysquatch after a nice sushi dinner this evening, Ms. EC and Bobsquatch and I are sitting around eating ice cream with several chocolate sauces (thanks stealthmuffin and thomascantor for the tasty spiced chocolate verion!).

We get to talking about (amongst other things such as deer gutting illustrating and the best way, per Martha Stewart, to collect and kill fruit flies*) superheroes and cooking books, and I have a Scathingly Brilliant Idea, which we proceed to flesh out.**

This is a zine/webcomic. "Heddy Hopper"*** starts off each episode by putting a casserole in the oven (or slow cooker for variety), is called to defuse a bomb or save the children or some such Adventure, and must then race back a la Ferris Bueller in time to serve up dinner for her family/friends/the Swedish Ambassador/etc. I now also realize that each episode/strip should feature a recipe.

There is severe crossover potential in the TV realm for a comic drama with 42 minute episodes, and 24 style real time unfolding of events.


* Martha is a stone cold killa, and recommends boiling water for the killing portion.
** Am I smoking the crack? Or is this idea just crazy enough to work?
*** This name bears less resemblance to Betty Crocker in print than when said aloud. I think it'd skate under the radar.
