Self-reflection
If you met yourself as you were 5 years ago would you:
A. Punch yourself in the face?
B. Buy yourself a beer? -
Free fall
Today I suffer from over-active empathy. Someone I love is in unspeakable pain and I feel incapable of helping. What is worse, my capacity for communication seems to be degrading. Words are completely inadequate for the ideas in my mind and I feel this lucid terror encroaching. -
Wrong side of the floor
Our bed broke a few months ago and we haven't replaced it. So we have been sleeping on a futon mattress on the floor. This morning I woke up with a splitting headache and when I sat up the room was spinning. I was terrified, thinking it was the beginning of a mysterious neurological disorder. I also fell asleep last night thinking about my leg ( Read more... ) -
Rollcall!
So, a few of you know that I have another blog that I actually update. But I've been thinking about tossing thoughts about my life over here as well. Since that blog is so focused on one particular subject I don't really record my other trials and tribulations ( Read more... ) -
japanese eggplant appetizer thingie
Hey, I need some help from all of you knowledgeable foodies ;) Whenever I go to my favorite sushi places they bring out a small dish of eggplant that has been marinated in a sweet-ish sauce as a sort of appetizer (around the time they serve the miso soup). I don't order it, it is just a little free thing. Any idea what it is called? I have a ( Read more... ) -

I'm so glad we have a Greek system at USC . . .
A guy (First Frat Boy) comes into the computer lab and sits directly behind me. A few minutes after sitting down, he says to no one in particular. "God, I knew it. I knew that guy was gay!" Then, silence. A few minutes later two friends join him ( Read more... ) -

Liver Flush #2
1 cup freshly made apple juice
juice of two lemons
tsp. grated ginger
pinch of cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Sounds pretty nasty, huh? It actually wasn't that bad. I've drank worse on this thing so far. It was unsettling - basically like drinking apple ( Read more... ) -
Detox Day 4
And now it is the time of day when Elyn eats a huge handful of supplements. C, E, Omega-3, Acidophilous, Multi-Vitamin, and now I am enjoying my calcium chewable tabs for dessert. Yum! Today went fine so far. I am not looking forward to the Ionic Coctail I am supposed to drink before my workout tonight - I forgot my E3Live this morning so I ( Read more... ) -
Detox Day 3
Well, things are going well. Except this morning I added to much cayenne pepper to my hot lemon flush and it was basically undrinkable. I managed to get through about 1/3 of it before I thought I was going to be sick. I am eating my apple breakfast right now. I like showering with all of these natural soaps and things. But, I cheated a bit ( Read more... )
