* Yesterday afternoon, [livejournal.com profile] doomsey and I went to see the play, "The Sins of Sor Juana," at the Goodman Theater. My in-laws really liked the play and told me that I was going to enjoy it, but neither [livejournal.com profile] doomsey nor I were very impressed. I think part of the problem is that I'm familiar with her history and her writings and I didn't feel as if the play really did her any justice.

* After the play, [livejournal.com profile] doomsey and I went down to 79th Street to get dinner at Yassa, a Sengalese restaurant. I ordered what I always get when I go there: Maffe. Yes...it is that good that I only order that and nothing else when I go there. *drools at the thought of eating her leftovers Wednesday night*

* My crappy neck muscles have been triggering more headaches / migraines. I had another one last night and wasn't able to go out on my walk.

* This evening I went for my usual walk and saw what I thought were three squirrels climbing a tree. The thing is, they were a little bit too big to be squirrels. I turned on my little flashlight-- great for avoiding skunks and getting hit by cars in general-- and saw three young raccoons blinking down at me. So cute! Too bad I didn't have a decent camera.

* Speaking of walks, I'm down between 15 and 20 pounds thanks to all the exercise I've been getting. Whee!

Here's an article on how the Cajuns living near the Gulf have been affected by the oil spill. Very sad. (Link via [livejournal.com profile] rm)

Was it Squirrels, (That' you mentioned here,) or was it raccoons? (As you posted in Twitter)
*Iz Confused!*

Congrats on losing 15-20lbs! That's wonderful and maybe it will inspire me to get off my butt. lol

I'm sorry to hear about your migraines/neck pain/headaches. I have TMJ issues so I feel your pain. I use one of these for mine and it has really helped me: Bed Buddy (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=10573050). If your pain responds well to heat, it might be worth a try!

As a Cajun living near the Gulf, I thank you for posting that link. Thankfully my family and I don't make our living off of the Gulf but many ppl here do and many are despairing. It's a sad thing when someone whose roots go back 300+ years in a place may have to leave the land they love b/c of this man-made disaster. Especially when many here, especially in the poorer coastal communities are still reeling from Katrina.

PS: Cosette is adorable. What a sweet little tortie!

I have you tried yoga? I used to do it every day (I got really in to it and set aside 2 hours a day) but just 20 minutes a day can really help your next and back! I have scoliosis and when I was doing yoga it never once bothered me. I've seen fallen off the wagon though - I really need to start again D:
