It feels weird to be posting an update (of any kind)...the last time I wrote something in an online journal, I had not gone to India or Nepal or Bhutan. My brother-in-law was alive, as were my kitties Ohno and Jiji. The last time I posted was two jobs ago. We were still reeling from my father's death. JP was relatively well and mobile. I only had ( Read more... )

Hello, dear friends. Checking in and laboriously typing on my iPad because I cannot be arsed to buy the keyboard attachment. I hope everyone is well. I can't complain much. Work is okay, the familia is okay (including bb Gabe, who is fat and adorable). JP and I have Spring plans that include a couple of hockey games, the Scottish Highland Games ( ( Read more... )

I can't seem to do anything right this weekend ( Read more... )

This weekend, I will be drinking smart cocktails and watching Notorious, my favorite Hitchcock movie of all time. I may or may not be wearing a trilby at the time.

No reason, really. Just felt like making some random, silly plan and following it through. Plus it's cheaper than retail therapy. My only problem is what kind of cocktails? I have ( Read more... )

It has been a long, hard week, my friends. But I haven't cried yet...that's gotta count for something.

And actually, something nice did happen. JP brought me my favorite Marble Slab ice cream the other night when I was too exhausted to do anything other than lie in bed.

Ughhhhhh. Work. It's getting harder and harder to drag myself into the office. I just want to stay home and watch the Food Network and that channel with all the wedding shows. And everything around me is SHITTY because I cannot be arsed to clean this muthfuckin' house because I am le tired and le whiny (like right now). So instead of cleaning a ( Read more... )

Oh, shit. I have eleventy billion things to do this week! Mostly it involves birthdays that are too close together and coloring my hair and taxes, but STILL.

Also, I am depressed. Probably hormones or similar, but all I want to do is sleep. Crying is optional, but doesn't cost extra. In addition, I have been on my period ALL YEAR LONG (feels like, ( Read more... )

Amazon has the blu-ray collection of Samurai Champloo on sale for $39. Yowza.

So, this week has been very blah and I have been blah in it. I am continually distracted and tired and grouchy and sore. The good news is I LOVE MY SHAPE UPS!!! I have worn them every day since they arrived on my doorstep. Totally worth the money.

Also, thanks to whitereflection , I  ( Read more... )

I have been having some trouble getting out of bed and going to work (post holiday blues mixed with sporadic crippling insecurity) so I have taken to listening to Jimmy Eat World's The Middle on the way to work to bring my mood up. It actually works most of the time - the tempo is upbeat and the lyrics...well, they are not poetry but they are words ( Read more... )

Oh, brother I am sad. Like, crying in the car on the way to work sad (don't even remember what started me off). I hate when I get like this, especially because it is my favorite time of year and it always goes by so quickly. So, until I feel like a human being again (versus the pile of desperate sadness I am right now), I will try and post positive ( Read more... )
