arksterHey friendslist, few questions.
One, sparked by the same grandma who eats potato skins: do you eat the orange peel? 'Cuz I tried the potato skin after about a dozen of you told me how awesome it was, but orange peels strike me as marginally less likely to be good eatin'.
Two, I should totally not be feeling anything after a single glass of wine with dinner, right? Not that I'm feeling much, and what little disorientation there is is easy to compensate for, but the fact that I'm compensating at all is what startled me.
Three, is wine supposed to cure headaches? 'Cause I've had a whopper of a Sunday afternoon headache the likes of which would make Murakami Haruki wince (my grandma watches 60 Minutes without her hearing aid, turning it up to a volume audible down the street, and the kitchen sink in this house emits a high-pitched whine that is apparently inaudible to everyone here but me. That, and there is so much flower perfume in the air I can almost feel it sticking to my skin.) That glass of wine, aside from the slight destabilization, actually made me feel a bit better. Coincidence? I ask you.

Date: 2006-05-08 03:28 am (UTC)i could say that i find the orange peel completely gross, too strong, and as soon as i bite into it to start peeling the orange, i have to spit out all traces of that awful taste because i find it repulsive. i hate marmalade with inordinate passion.
i could relate to you how i was completely aghast when i found my gf admit that she eats the orange peel because as a child it was the only logical thing to do after having eaten the skin on apples as well.
but i can't since i eat the paper that comes with muffins. it's so delicious. so it would make me a hypocrite (maybe)
for the second bit, i would go with the tension headache relaxant. i dunno about you, but i can enjoy a basement gig from a shitty band thats far too loud and talentless much more when i'm punch-silly off of whiskey.

Date: 2006-05-09 03:05 am (UTC)because after all it is delicious unlike the orange peel.
i dont even know how people figured out it even tastes good. back in the DAYS they must have picked up this fruit, bit into it, though "oh JESUS put it back," resulting in our complete ignorance of its deliciousness.
but no... somehow we know.
people tell me i'll have stomach problems later.
