raisins in gothic

the choice was supposed to be easy over what dried raisins' brand i would buy to make an oatmeal breakfast interesting and not to grow sick of it. my first choice was sun maid california raisins and i already bought it once.


but something caught my eye on the periphery and it resembled a painting of a american farm couple, entitled american gothic and painted in the 1930s. what i saw actually was not the real portrait but a spoof. the couple was not as remote in time as the american gothic , the couple, in reality, was paul newman and joanne woodward. to make the story short, i ended up grabbing the raisins from the farm of the hollywood philantrophist who has made 200 million dollars in donation which includes sales from dried raisins.

(getting) high on blood

as of date, i am still hypertensive (officially now that i admit it and in reality bordering around prehypertensive and stage 1) and got nowhere to vent off my frustration about it.

i see hypertension at this age as a sign of lack of discipline. i do not overeat. i do not eat junk foods. at the average i drink two bottles of beer a month. my bmi ratio is at the ideal. i smoked for a year but only one stick per day and i have stopped since march. however, my lipid profile's results show that my total cholesterol level is above the normal levels and exposing me to cardiovascular diseases.

one of the instances life throws a joke on me. i do not look obese but my blood is. its like i should have been obese, a chain-smoker, and from-dusk-till-dawn drinker instead, there is no difference anyway.

torrent download: dandy warhols

what i consider as the best studio album of the dandy warhols after i have listened to six of their album is thirteen tales from urban bohemia. this also contains the song bohemian like you which introduced me to the band.

new band discoveries (or rediscoveries):
