Bunny hop

[clevermanka]

Finding videos like this is the reason I still check FB once a day.

Because SERIOUSLY. How is your life not better for having seen that?

Today's Tumblr collection is Tuesday, January 14: Due South (part...4?). I had a ton of dS posts liked and I felt like I needed to prove I wasn't just a Sherlock tumblr after the past three weeks.

A long time ago I posted about how talking bad about yourself is bad for you and how I don't do it and I ask my friends not to do it, either. Here are some lovely words from Pat Cadigan about that issue and here is a comic about how ridiculous is the notion of "feeling fat."

I mentioned how I'm hungry, like, all the time, and after work yesterday was no different. When I got home I ate a can of sardines (yes, I know, but I like them, okay?) and twenty minutes later I was still hungry. Dinner wasn't going to be ready for another hour and a half, so I ate a handful of roasted pistachios. And I blew up like a balloon. It was hugely uncomfortable, crazy hard and tight across my belly, and I even had a bit of internal discomfort (rare). This was the first time I'd swollen more than an inch, tops, since the beginning of the month. Interesting, no? So now nuts are Off The Menu unless they're heavily incorporated into a dish, like using almond or sesame seed butter as a soup thickener, or roasted almonds sprinkled on a salad. I woke this morning still feeling a little uncomfortable in my belly and have had no desire to eat today (even though it's nearly noon).

Getting pretty hungry in here, though, so will break out the lunch soon. Nothing with nuts, though. Not today.

Cute.

Did you see the video going around for Knife Party - "Internet Friends"? I ask because it had a sound that made me think of you for some reason. It was a bit of a trainwreck of a video (NSFW). I honestly don't know if I like it but it really caught my attention.

Edit: After reading that I realized I should point out that we aren't that kind of "friends".

Edit 2: I actually like you.

Edit 3: Also I think the song could use a Sherlock video. THAT is all your fault. :)

Okay, well now I definitely have to check it out. BRB.

That was a damn fine song. =D

Go, bunny! Go!

ADORABLE, no? I desperately want to see one of these competitions in person.

They're actually going to have something similar at the Wyandotte County Fair this summer (July 22-26). The woman running the rabbit club is working on it now.

Have been following your swelling issues, and knowing how well you educate yourself, was just wondering if you had come across anything ncerning food combinations and how they affect people. My trainer had forwardedme an article on it, and I probably either still have it here somewhere or might be able to locate it online if you would be interested. In short, there is a lot of research coming out as to how our gut health is far more closely entwined with our overall health, particularly neurological health than we had ever imagined. Sometimes its not just individual foods, bit foods eaten in conjunction with or in close proximity to each other that can cause us the nasty side effects, and further reaching sequelae. It was fascinating but rather frightening at the same time.

Oh, I am firmly on board the gut/brain connection. I know when I'm stressed I swell more (whether it's physical or psychological stress), and it has been a long struggle to avoid falling into depressive states when I have intense and repeated swelling episodes like I experienced late last year.

So, yeah, I am completely with you and your trainer. I've never believed it was any one food in particular because I've tried eating the exact same thing on different days and experienced different levels of swelling.

However, since January 2, I haven't had nuts by themselves since I do my best to avoid snacking while on the Whole30. And the reaction was so immediate, I can't not make some sort of connection, there. Especially when things are really chill in my life at the moment and I've been sleeping well for over a week.

Thanks for chiming in, and I'm glad to see there are still people sticking around here, following My Wacky Health Saga!

SO much cute! The music kinda sounded like the muzak version of the Buck Rogers theme song tho.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

There was music in the background???

[pamelonian.livejournal.com]

I thought parts of the muzak sounded like Buck Rogers, too!

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

OMG bunnies!!
Can't watch any more than that video, I'll want one.

Nuts? NUTS! That's damned disappointing.

Nuts? NUTS! That's damned disappointing.

Yeah. After my body calms down (I'm still swelling after eating, now, more than I've been the past couple weeks), I'm going to try them incorporated into a dish and see if the same thing happens. I'm betting not, because I've been eating almond butter with other things since January 1 with no problems.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Pistachios in particular maybe?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

*shrug*

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling.

[renniemom.livejournal.com]

ahem
We'll have a litter in a few weeks. Six weeks to wean and they'll be looking for homes. Mini Rex--softest Velveteen Rabbit fur you can imagine. Nine pounds fully grown.
Just sayin'...

You can say all you like and I know that they are adorable, but Pablo is the Last of The Pets, for many reasons.
I am Very Fur-m on this subject. ;)

PS.. i love the sparkly eye-con, too.

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

The bun is totally adorable. Then there's the santa and sleigh crossing sign on the side of the jump and I'm all, "WTH?"

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Wow, I didn't notice any of that stuff. I was just all BUNNIES OMG BUNNIES!

[chalcedonygrey.livejournal.com]

ZOMG that video! Rin was enraptured by their little noses!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I KNOW ME TOO AUUUUUGGHGHGHGHGHGHG!

Also, perfect icon is perfect.

[pamelonian.livejournal.com]

I was NOT going to click on the bunny video. Then I clicked on the bunny video. So cute! And the winner's performance was outstanding! I loved the attitude of their human guardians.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

WHY WOULD YOU NOT CLICK THE BUNNY VIDEO. WHY.

[sherwood21.livejournal.com]

Because bunnies are terrifying and they will eat your face.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

*pet*pet*

I shall protect you when the bunny invasion comes, darling.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

Wow bunnies are cute and good at hopping! Who knew?
(loved the cute)

I found it odd I was eating a handful of almonds as I read your post about no more nuts from 3 days ago. O.o

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmm almonds.
