Kiran and Shaan's World

The day planner is empty today because everyone’s either recovering from herpangina and/or gearing up for the 4th of July. – Shaan

All Elmo wanted last night was a low-stress, no-drama party, where everybody just showed up and had a ball. Except his caterer went and got arrested the night before the party. Still, the do-it-yourself “candied bacon balls” were sorta tasty. They were like gobstoppers… made of bacon? – Kiran

5 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT KIRAN


1.) I can solve complex math equations, reference obscure movies/books/songs/bible passages/Christmas specials and shoot a potato gun all while simultaneously singing the theme songs from nationally syndicated television programs of the early 80’s.

2.) I commonly say things like “Move over barnacle!!”

3.) I graduated with my degree in Music Theory, Composition, and Production—and minored in Physics. I don’t know what I’m trying to tell you except that I like useless degrees.

4.) I appreciate all genres of music. I know everyone says that, and sure, maybe some of them even mean it—but I DOUBLE MEAN IT. Examples: Bonnie Prince Billy, Mono, Owen, The Books, Curtis Mayfield, The Gap Band, The Zombies, Russian Circles, Kashiwa Daisuke, The Magnetic Fields, Botch, Benny Goodman, Murs, Antony and the Johnsons, Boris, The Hood Internet, Phosphorescent, Muddy Waters, Akron/Family, Refused, Elgar and so on.

5.) I have an “I ♥ Beards” tattoo that I would allow you to draw an eye patch on; subsequently becoming an “I ♥ Pirates” tattoo.

Quarantined from society while recovering from my momentary illness, I am obsessively clicking on things on the internet (“Flat-Earthers Claim Time Zones Are A Myth Created By The Powerful Round-Earth Lobby”), knitting, and of course, working on my pouty face. – Shaan

No sooner had I recovered from the blow to the stomach that was herpangina, now Shaan is dealing with the same crushing sucker-punch. Our prayers are of course with him, but I’m  pretty certain he’ll make a full recovery very soon. – Kiran

SMILE OF THE DAY

If there’s one bright spot to the dark cloud hanging over our house, it’s come in the form of the outpouring of love and genuine sympathy for Kiran, who is currently resting comfortably on Dad. Words of encouragement have come not just from his friends, but from well-wishers all around the world who went to great lengths to inform the staff here at Kiran and Shaan’s World of how much they are pulling for him in his time of need. Rest assured, Kiran knows that his friends and fans are there for him, and that if he calls them up asking for a cup of health-inducing vitamins, they’ll be on his doorstep, no questions asked. – Shaan

Sorry for the lack of posts. As some of you may have heard I have fallen ill. I started the weekend feeling stout and hardy but by Sunday I was shivering so badly people around me were not so subtly moving themselves far far away. I went home and managed to take my temperature, which came in at an even 102. Clearly, action needed to be taken. As it was the weekend, I tried consulting WebMD and was diagnosed with cervical cancer. (Um, yea, that didn’t seem right to me either.) So anyways, today I made a proper appointment with a doctor, drinking plenty of fluids, taking my pills and recovering. But I’ve learned my lesson. The next time the mercury creeps above 100, I’m off to see a medically trained and licensed professional. – Kiran

Everyone loves cauliflower. It makes you smarter, happier and life gets totally interesting. (Actually, it’s so freaking scary it makes me cry. Cauliflowers are bad, mm’kay?) – Shaan
