    Max is all better

    May 7, 2009 /

    Thanks for everyone’s well wishes and thoughts and prayers; here at cosmicbuddha.com we welcome positive energy of all denominations… As special thanks, I present all of you with this very, very special video: If you are a Nagi Noda fan, you know this is one of her best-known pieces of work. The description on the YouTube page is: It’s a word-for-word parody of Susan Powter’s first workout video, featuring poodles and a crazy poodle-woman. Absolutely surreal. It was made by Nagi Noda for Panasonic. It was part of 10 films they made for the 2004 Athens Olympics. Excellent. UPDATE: Here’s the wikipedia article for this vid: LINK

    Max has been having a rough week

    May 5, 2009 /

    It seems he had a bad reaction to an MMR vaccine two weekends ago. It caused a fever five days or so after the shot and now he’s broken out in a rash all over his torso… We are monitoring him closely, and he’s been in an understandably grumpy mood for the past five days or so. Was it a hot shot? Or just a bad reaction? There’s no way to tell. We took every precaution possible, but it still AAAAAAAARRRRGH… worrying about him drives us crazy. Everything’s all right for now though, I think.

    Monster freshwater shrimp trying to get away on Max’s birthday a couple weeks ago. They were delicious, especially the ones rich with roe. Nam made a traditional nam chim dip with lime, chili, vinegar, fish sauce, and sugar. I secretly added pork bouillon for the hell of it, and it turned out very well.
