How To De-Bone Your Quail (And Other Unneccessary Capitalization)

Because I'm sick today, here is what's on my agenda, and what each step entails:

1. Watch last night's episode of MasterChef. Laugh at the ridiculousness. Become obsessed with the word quail. Note to self how important it is to sucessfully de-bone your quail, as per the title of this post. Pretend to be Matt Preston. Get hungry. Feel nauseous at the thought of excessively rich food. Remember that acorns are poisonous to humans. Damn squirrels. Love the use of the word "pillowy" as a serious adjective for food. Love the pronunciation of the word "gnochi" but be unsure how to spell it.


2. Take a couple of panadol, which was my intention this morning until I forgot, and then accidentally kept forgetting. I will get there. Once MasterChef's finished (is it sad that MasterChef is one of my most frequently used labels?). Alternatively, a cold and fly tablet. I might do that.


3. Watch Lost (again) - "Everybody Loves Hurley" (ESPECIALLY ME!) - so I can liveblog it (I really should post my liveblogs. Maybe I'll add a page to my blog) even though I've seen it already and just felt too sick to write about it.


4. Heat up a mug of soup and eat it, after a brief confusion about which spoon to use. Hopefully manage to add a correct amount of salt and pepper without accidentally heaping the entire salt shaker into my mug, as per last time.


5. Check the mail. There won't be any mail, because our post man (lady?) is a lazy bugger and appears to just decide not to do it some days. Check again periodically, if I can drag myself off the couch.


6. Start watching some meaningless fluff - Win A Date With Tad Hamilton, anyone? Probably fall asleep. Overheat, thrash around a bit, change pants.


7. Determine whether or not I'm well enough to attend Friday Night dinner - my grandparents don't want me there because I could spray my aerosol germs around and infect them all with the plague before they go to Canada/Chicago/Singapore OH MY GOD MYSTERY BOX CHANLLENGE NET WEEK anyway as I was saying everybody hates me.


8. Try and sleep. Fail. Eat chips.


9. Salvage three month old episodes of The IT Crowd out of TiVo's "Recently Deleted" folder because it never fails to make me laugh.


10. Sigh.


11. Repeat step 10. Multiple times. Cough a bit as well. Sniffle. Think about doing something else. Repeat step 10 again.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'm off to possibly add another page. Don't go eating any acorns on me.
