your handshake is firm and manly, but your skin is soft as a velvet child
It's a lovely overcast morning here in Vancouver, and I am eating a pomegranate. My mother, having rediscovered Hinduism for some strange reason (boredom would be my guess), has pressed upon me that according to some astrological report she had made, I must consume four pieces of a pomegranate within four days in order to balance my karma.
I have no real objection to this, since pomegranates taste pretty good and if peeling back all those charming bits of creamy yellow lace to attain the little ruby droplets of grenadine is what I must do to offset negative karma that I've accrued, then it's a fairly toothsome task. Although, considering that I cannot -- as the Wee Sister does -- crunch down the seeds, it's something of a maximum effort for minimum gain venture.
A bunch of students came in to pick up their monologues today, and I got sweet-talked to within an inch of my life by some gorgeous tall boy in shades and that nouveau feathered hair that all the young lads are sporting lately. He wanted to know if I'd ever been to Brazil and his name was "Clifton" and you know how when really, really pretty people talk to you there's this moment of suspicion that they're making fun of you inside, so you just take their charming little banter with a grain of salt? mmm-hmmm. But it's sure fun to have cute young things doing a really obvious flirt-job on you, even if you both know it's bullshit. Maybe especially so.
In other news, work on actually constructing the bigazz page o'recs continues apace. It's so pretty, and I have![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Also, on the religion thing? Hinduism is all about the food, yo. The one time my sister and I went to the temple since leaving the Caribbean, we skipped the entire sermon and just showed up for the free food at the end. *g*

A pomegranate!

Re: Eee!
Ahhhh, now -- I doubt your karma would need it the way mine does. *g*

haha! I had to comment because that is me. I love the stuff but it's so much effort for such little fruit.
I haven't had a pomegranate in -- wow -- at least seven years.
