Truth on a Tuesday

What I've eaten: Oh wow, I was soooo full from yesterday's food I couldn't even eat my birthday cake until this morning. Cake is an accepted breakfast food right? Yesterday I ate 4 bowls of Honeycomb cereal. A mango slushie. A big bowl of Nalley's chili with 1/4 loaf of french bread. And dinner was lobster bisque, seared ahi and, fish and chips. No way was I able to then eat cake on top of that.

My breakfast of birthday cake was angel food cake with whip cream and strawberries btw. With some fresh pineapple as well. After all of this eating excess I think I am only going to have liquids for all of my meals each day but for dinner. Give my guts a rest and limit my calories a bit before I also go on vacation and most likely eat high calorie foods.

What I've watched: The indie movie with Jack Black, Bernie. It's about a super nice guy funeral director who hooks up with one of the little old widow ladies. Except she is a beast and he snaps and kills her. Though told in the typically funny A. Linkletter manner for any story in Texas. Hilarious. Rated R for swearing.

I speak Spanish OK. Enough to not be totally clueless and hold a basic, present tense conversation. So I enjoy watching the Mun2 spanish language television channel as lots of it is in english with spanish subtitles or the other way around. And unknowingly I'm into the two shows that in 2011 made huge waves.

Decisiones Extremas. This is like the wildest 'After School Special' you've ever seen! The Boston Herald called it 'The most outrageous show of 2011', and it is! Or was. These teenage kids all make the most horrible decisions and suffer the most horrible of consequences in the 1 hour show. Rape, murder, drug use, suicide, kidnapping. It covers them all. Extreme decisions indeed!

La Reina del Sur. Evidently this show crushed all other shows, often even mainstream english programming, in the ratings. It is fantastical and filled with crazy characters. Go ahead, Google it, you'll find all sorts of fan information. Basically it is about a woman's rise through the international drug trade. This show was huge! I'm enjoying its many twists and turns. Really, a super telenovela. And if you hate TV, you can always read the book by the same title on which the show is based.

What I've said: So I started with, "I'm gonna ask Oliva (my housekeeper) about my favorite show, see what she thinks."

To which Super D replied, "What makes you think she watches those kinds of trashy shows?"

My reply, "Have you seen her much younger boyfriend? Anyone who dates guys that much younger than her is totally the type to watch these shows. She's like a Mexican cougar. Er, well I guess that would maker her a puma technically."

What I look like as I officially become "old":
