Right. I'm okay. Mom stayed home with me yesterday and made sure I slept/ate and got me on the phone with my shrink. I was going to have an appointment with him yesterday, anyway, but yesterday was my Nice Day where I didn't have to do difficult things like go to therapy on two hours of sleep. So on the phone instead. He recommended I get out of the house for any reason I like, so I'm not OFFICIALLY okay until I go raid CVS for something frivolous. I'm thinking nail polish and shampoo. Or my books. Mom's gonna take me to Sasuga on Saturday. We'll see what their new digs are like.

I have three boxes of instant almond jelly from Sunday, too, so I'm going to put those to good use today.

What? -.-??? I never told you that they're so popular w/ the rest of the world that they are the mainstay of Chinese bakeries....at least I don't remember. However, I DO remember telling you [at the Super 88 last Sunday] that they're made in China mostly for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. And then made in such overwhelming quantities that it constitutes what is essentially an annual menstruation of the Chinese bakery industry. And then you commented "so we're the pad...."

But they ARE so popular w/ the rest of the world b/c the rest of the world hasn't fully realized that Moon Cakes are simply well-dressed delivery vehicles for lard. Yep. LARD

But it's kinda yummy lard. And so pretty.

No, I'm not being a pinhead American, I thought that if the quantities were OVERWHELMING, that meant they overwhelmed Chinatown and spilled out into the rest of Boston. You know, moon cakes! In the street! In the war zone! Covering the Boston Commons! And that it was a REALLY BIG DEAL, and EVERYBODY ELSE had to buy some, to get rid of them all. And then the hullaballoo would die down and the little people would go back to their normal lives...until HALLOWEEN. Man, these bakeries need a pad with wings. (Isn't it fun to live in my head? :D Or maybe just stupid. I feel like Osaka.)
