First note to myself: never EVER eat expired food in the US!
Two weekends ago I ate some eggs which were 2 days over their expiration date. Have done that before in the Netherlands and never caused any problems.
Well, I guess I found out the hard way that the expiration date really is the expiration date in the US. Ate the eggs on a Friday evening so soon after I got sick and subsequently I had some serious throwing up and diarrhea to deal with during the entire weekend. Fun times!
It had been almost exactly 4 years since the last time I had to throw up so I guess I'm doing fine with serious short term illnesses :-)
As everyone knows Heath Ledger died last week which for some reason was more shocking than the average celebrity death. I did like his acting, especially in the not so mainstream movie "Monster's ball".
Whatever the cause of death, accidental OD on prescribed drugs seems likely, it is a shame that he had to go at the age of 28.
To end this post on a more positive note: there will be another carnaval party at my place!
It will take place in exactly one week from now so it's going to lots of fun and I will be drunk. Hopefully I'll be able to have such a perfect after drinking experience like the few times I actually drank alcohol last year.
And who knows, maybe drinking booze will finally make the swelling in my left nostril go away? Sure enough the septum is still not healed, much to my (and the doctor's) surprise. But the doc assured there's nothing to worry about since it's still clearly healing. It's just healing rather slowly. Oh well.
Gonna see "Rambo" later on tonight! That's going to be AWESOME as hell!!!
