Day 326: Hunger Headaches

November 22nd, 2011I made the terrible mistake today of choosing not to eat, and saving my appetite for a later occasion. This only proved to be disappointing in the long run. I went to Vietnamese class in the morning, and then immediately went to work afterwards (providing myself with the ability to help Geetha pick up a package), and then video-editing for a couple more hours. Now, extremely hungry I prepared to wait for Bee-John at Geisel for ICRA’s Thanksgiving Dinner. He ran extremely late so I left without him, buying a can from the Sunshine Market. The food at the dinner was less than pleasing… the soup was decent, but the cold turkey was not at all what I envisioned. Perhaps I expected too much in the form of a) pumpkin pie and b) an actual turkey. I saw Louise there and we left to ultimately receive some free pumpkin pie at Warren. It was a super tiny slice so I went back to the Thanksgiving dinner where I met up with Bee-John and ultimately created (through arts and crafts), a wonderful turkey: pictured above. Afterwards, we went to Nikkei which was a terrible organization. I exaggerate, but it just wasn’t my thing: the whole idea of a bunch of people of one race gathering together just seems so stupid and racist to me. Some of the homemade videos they made were pretty entertaining. By the time I got out I was starving, and suffering from chronic headaches. I subsequently bused on over to Chipotle, ate extremely quickly, and then went home to finally relax, headaches ultimately gone forever.
