I'm coming to you with more Random Tuesday Thoughts...
From the "Only in LA" file...
My friend Elizabeth sent this to me the other day - the Magic Restroom Cafe, the nations first bathroom-themed restaurant, opened a couple of weeks ago in the City of Industry, part of the Greater Los Angeles Area. The Taiwanese cafe offers such delectable dishes as "Golden Poop", a runny brown curry served over rice, and "Bloody Number Two", a strawberry/vanilla sundae. Apparently, themed restaurants such as this are SUPER funny in Asia. I'm afraid I will not be indulging.

This weekend, Jude had to build a model of an animal cell for his science project. Cast your eyes upon...
I'm thinking it was pretty inventive. The nucleus was a giant meatball, with angel hair pasta baked into it which represented chromosomes. Vacuoles = black olives. Mitochondria = pepperoni. Cytoplasm = cheese and the Cell Membrane = crust. And it was completely edible!

Hey, weird question for everybody...do kids still get their tonsils out? When I was a kid, every other child had a tonsillectomy. I used to get tonsillitis twice a year, but they never took them out. But I haven't heard of one kid at Jude's school having it. Does tonsillitis still exist? Has medical science done away with it? Or did they change the name of it, like the way manic depression is now called bi-polar disorder? One of y'all must know this.

Why didn't anybody tell me how good Scandal is? I have been Netflixing it and I'm totally hooked! SO addicting! And I now have a terrible girl-crush on Kerry Washington. If I don't have my lesbian affair with Christina Hendricks, then Kerry's next on the list.

Okay, prepare yourselves. Jude's cross country coach sent out this video and asked all the kids to watch it. It's supposed to teach the kids to never give up, but it made me sob uncontrollably. So, grab the tissues...

My son ought to watch that. He and I are running now and he wants to but quits easily. I think he'll get over that once he begins doing actual races though.

No, they don't take kids' tonsils out any more. They wait until you're 47 and remove them unnecessarily these days. (Not that I'd know anything about that. Ahem.)
My stomach did a slow roll over the "bathroom-themed" restaurant and their culinary offerings. Asians are weird, and I will be joining you in not partaking. The whole thing is just...gross.
Did Jude get a good grade on his pizza? It was such a GREAT idea!

Those Mammo-grahams are cute. And a reminder that I need to make the appointment to go have my girls squashed for the first time. So, thanks?

Great post and so nicely random. Youngest Grandson had his tonsils removed when he was 5, just two years ago. The video is a tear jerker for sure. First cousin, Jerry Miller, was most handsome in highschool, played college level football in Texas, was later the superintendent of Richardson, TX, Lake Highlands and Pearse schools and just a nice all around guy. We watched as Parkinson's took everything about his physical and, eventually, mental being from him. He is buried next to my folks gravesite. Both ALS and Parkinson take the ones we love in a tortured way.

The restaurant = ewwww... I'm not sure why they thought it would work in the U.S. We're pretty squeamish about that sort of thing.
Love the pizza turned animal cell. Y'all are so clever.
Yeah, I do her too. If I ever had that lesbian affair. Of course, with my luck she wouldn't be into me.

Yes, kids still get their tonsils out but the standards to justify it are much higher. Two infections a year don't cut it. I had mine out in 1990 and the higher standard applied. I think I had to have 5 infections within a year. I was basicly was sick for 6 months straight and the doctor said enough and took them out. A little boy in Enzo's preschool when through the same thing and had then taken out.

Those are too funny. I think Jude's project is ingenious! Not sure I'll ever look at pizza the same way!
