Apparently yesterday was mardi gras, and I had no clue. Even after seeing that ellen at work made beignets and went to town with the decorations in her office, I figured she must be celebrating early for some odd reason. Not once did i think that it was actually mardi gras. In my head i was certain that the actual Mardi Gras wasn't til march, but i must've been getting that mixed up with leprechaun day...even though in my head i was really thinking of brazilian-naked-dancing-bootay-shaking-til-you-drop Day, which is the same as mardi gras...
Apparently, mardi gras is also Pancake day, as the brit informed me. Since I am never one to argue with days that celebrate food, I complied to this bit of information, even though it was way too late to be eating. So we made pancakes, flipped them, then ate them.
Work is still full speed ahead, and everyday i have mini heart attacks when i think about what's to be done before next thursday when the show airs. There's not much time. Suddenly i'm transported back in time to 2005, a time when the idea of someone "ruling a remote" was the least of my worries, but at the same time, killing me softly, and very slowly. This now isn't half as bad as that time was, but every once in a while, something will spark a memory, which leads me to shudder in my seat.
And now i'm tired, so i bid thee adieu.

ah look at you all employed and everything. i must get one of those...
oh and some pancakes. yum.
tuesday was also known as "fat tuesday," going in line with the pancakes. and mardi gras is the same thing. all in "preparation" for the season of lent, when catholics and other christians engage in various forms of fasting as a way to honor Christ's sacrifice. and it all ends at easter with a big ol' feast. the pancakes are because most traditions restricted the use of certain ingredients like fat, sugar, and eggs so you had to use them all up before lent began.
this has been your lesson for the day, brought to you by the number 7 and the letter g. : )
