so my winning poker streak continues, as I handily beat kerryn, tracey, and j by…well, i don’t want to embarrass them, but suffice to say a *lot*. like the good sport that i am, i tried to contain my glee.

then i made a lovely pasta salad for dinner, followed by fresh strawberries and cream. there really is nothing better than british strawberries.

k&t rented the movie, “perfume” which totally sucked ass. it was a marginally plausible, if boring movie (this nutjob murderer guy makes perfume out of dead women – yes, they even made that storyline boring) up until the last half hour – at which point the perfume incites mass orgies in the public square while the murderer acts like the pope, and then the murderer gets eaten alive by a hoarde of homeless people who descend upon him because of the perfume. ludicrous and still boring. i would have written “spoiler” at the top of this paragraph before i gave the whole movie away… but trust me when i tell you i’ve done you a favour by revealing the ending. dustin hoffman deserves to have his oscar revoked. you can thank me later for the 2 and a half hours of cinematic agony i just spared you from enduring. i accept cash and paypal.

finally, this lovely piece of info:

People with migraines also may be suffering from some brain damage as brain cells swell and become starved of oxygen — a finding that may help explain why migraine sufferers have a higher risk of stroke, researchers reported on Sunday.

Similar brain damage can occur with concussions and after strokes, the researchers said

which really just explains way too much.
