Malloreigh isn't very good at performing her culture's gender role norms.

My ill has turned to very ill. Boo! I think I have the flu - it's the vegan flu, but still, it's rotten. For those of you who don't have the same sweet situation going on that I do - because I'm a tough, thick-skinned, super-healthy vegan warrior, I very rarely get sick and when I have a cold, I often just have sore limbs and I'm more tired than usual rather than sharing the symptoms my friends and family will have (sore throat, stuffy nose, cough and sneezes). So right now, with the flu that laid up my roommate in bed for days, I am disoriented and dizzy and a bit sniffly with a somewhat hoarse voice. And I'm very tired. But by and large I am okay.

I think I made it worse because today was sunny and lovely and I figured I could wear just a sweater and spend the evening fixing my flat tire on the back porch, but then it started to get pretty cold and I toughed it out and then I got all sniffly.

Anyway, today I saw a great talk by Dr Vandana Shiva, got a new job (I now have two part-time web design/development jobs just to keep things interesting), and bought eggplant which I am about to roast with chilies and olive oil before panfrying it with some mint.

Jealous of my life? I thought so.

That's a half-finished painting. I call it "Always remember to wear your helmet!" I think it's hot.

Well aren't you Ms. Toughy McHardass! (That should be your Bond girl name). I never used to get sick either, until I moved here. I think it's the lack of sun, and subsequent lack of Vitamin E plus I think I have a sinus infection that I've yet to take care of.

Hey, so after my last comment I went to linds page, and I saw some pictures of Nikala's set with "rejected" as the caption. frown Bummer, because it was really pretty, especially the location. So then I went to your Flickr to see if there were any more, and I saw some pictures of another rejected set.

Will either of these ever see the light of day? I'm kind of bummed because I was looking forward to seeing her set; she said it was a done deal back when I was up there.

wow that sounds delicious. wearing of the helmets is ALWAYS a good idea...you don't want to know what happened to the kid in the hospital bed next to mine * shivers *. it's a good thing he WAS wearing a helmet or he would have been dead meat.
in any case, get better soon! if you have what i had, it clears up in a day or 2 with lots of tea and sleep.

I don't mind being sick. I know this sounds crazy, but it helps me realize how fragile our bodies can get and to appreciate being healthy a little more (we take this for granted). Hope you feel better soon! Its nice to see a different side is creative lately. smile

when i get sick i usually just get some wierd sinus things and get maddd tired. I wish i was a hardened vegan warrior.
You're a very interesting person. The kind of person i wish i knew in person. You'd be a very good influence on me. And yes. I am (a little) jealous of your life.

really like the painting too. Why's it only half-done?

You're right, that is a completely kickass painting! Just out of curiosity, what's the mediums?

I hope you feel better soon and can fix flat tires as much as you want. smile
