today's forgotten find

Trains by Ryan.
I like this song. :)

getting away

I'm thinking 3 nights Sunday-Wednesday of Thanksgiving week for my getaway. I'm thinking about this or this, but am just a little in love with the tent bungalows here.

There are no rates for this room, but I am in love with this tub.

This is another option.

Opinions?

movies

i've decided that i'm going to go see "where the wild things are" and cry my eyes out. every time i've seen an advert for it, i see it and then say, "i'm going to go see that movie and it's going to make me cry."

retrograde

is going to go out with a BANG! i think.

what an asshole.

ps - today is not the day i should have chose to stop drinking. seriously.

Oasis Rocks. ;)

have you seen this?

have you bought any of the Pax Am singles? I bought the first and never listened to it, I just realized I forgot.

how did that happen?

I have 15 days of vacation saved up. I think this means that I may consider taking a whole freaking week off for myself. I'm thinking, if you don't come for Thanksgiving, that I may take Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off and do some crazy hiding thing from the weekend before...and come back to the world on Friday for the Thanksgiving dinner with my friends. I wish I could think of some insanely cheap retreat where I could be away from the world for 5 days for less than $500. It may be a little cold to camp in the forest by myself for that long, but I'm sort of considering it. I could borrow Mike's warm sleeping back and his smaller tent and meditate in the forest for a few days. Fuck, if you come, we could do that too. It will just be cold, and maybe wet.

i took a mental health day yesterday. it feels like england in the early spring here. cool and damp. i just wanted to stay snuggled in my bed all morning. so i did. and then i walked around in the rain. in a long sleeved shirt. and i got a hot drink. it was pretty lovely.

and it didn't really help.

hormones.

It is a little bit amazing that hormones can so noticeably have an effect on things and feelings. I'm just going to try very hard to just lock myself away from people this week and block out everything in my head and body and just...hum....or something. But, it's rather interesting that bodies do this, and only girl bodies. Hmmm.

ps...

i really do work for stupid people. sometimes i just want to shake them and turn them into something useful. like a strawberry milkshake.

thinking...

i might give yoga a break for a month and focus on swimming again.

it'll be a break for my finances too. :)

blob.

I've gained 15 pounds, and it's weird, because I'm finding strange comfort in my softness and curves right now. I can look at myself and see this isn't the texture of the body I want, and I know I want to be healthy and in shape, but there is something nice about eating for 2 months straight and end up not fitting in your clothes, but really liking that you have boobs and softness. It's just strange. I don't know why I feel like I'm hugging myself. I wonder if this is another eating disorder symptom. Like those people that say that eating gives them comfort. It isn't exactly the eating that makes me feel better, but right now I feel hidden in my own skin. Anyway, I'm not sure why I'm writing this here, it was just something I wanted to share with you.

meanwhile, my boyfriend is SEXAY! I keep hoping he doesn't notice or care, but at least the girls are a bit bigger. He's whoa. 6 days a week for the last 6 weeks has done a boy well. In the past week he went from making some nice progress towards muscles to omg, where did THIS body come from?! I'm trying to not be too excited about it because I don't want him to think I wasn't turned on before, but oh. my. god. I am now.

so...

deets on the shows? good parts? bad parts? did you go to cheers?

i think i've found some focus.

Awesome.

I sort of want to put this in the right side instead of our picture.

you were right

yoga did make me feel tons better. but not better enough. blagh!

i think i'm losing my mind

i was standing at the fax machine waiting for a fax to go through holding my wallet because i was intending to go to the starbucks for a warm drink after the fax went through.
i didn't have any shoes on.

i'm not sayin' i'm just sayin'. i need a mental health year.

They was a sale in his online store.

So I got these. I'm so excited. I think there were like $35 at the show, I got them for $10 each.



YAY!

Great lines in TV history

"I'm a waitress, what the fuck are you?"

i just have to say this again

SHARON is the cutest thing ever!! oh. my. god.

"maybe i could trim your bangs?"

Why I love my town.

Spiderman rocks out on Labor Day at the wharf.

why

does it feel like i've been pms-ing all month? at least when it comes to the eating of anything that's put in front of me in mass quantities?

so...

i'm wearing white after labor day. and i wear red shoes.

does that make me a whore?

curious.

whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Why can't it be time for me to go?
It is BEAUTIFUL outside.
I want to nap on the beach.
PAINFUL.

choices.

I'm shopping for cameras again. I can't decide. I flip flop so much. It is so hard to be responsible. I want things.

There is a teeny chance that I will put new tires on the front of my car, rinse it off and head down south for Meg's birthday, the Ramona show, and a visit with my parents. It means making choices though, so I am not sure yet. I'm sort of worried about the 'rents and their lack of return calls from this past weekend. It's annoying to worry.

I need to pay that stupid $275 ticket by the 25th too though. Boo.

seriously

i know i may sound nuts with this guy lately, but i just got the crescendo today... you HAVE to check out joel plaskett. the first one to get is his latest "three". it's a TRIPLE. ALBUM. talk about balls! and it's like fred van vactor and ryan made this canadian thing. it's gorgeous and fun.

steve's with him in canada now recording 10 songs (or so) with him for his "dreamhouse" thing. hearing this album FINALLY makes me excited to hear something steve's done/doing.

you can only get the album on amazon (or his website) because american distributors are LAME.

here. http://www.amazon.com/Three-Joel-Plaskett/dp/B001TIFPGG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1251897515&sr=8-1

i think the hot yoga made my brain leak out of my head last night. i can't think of ANYTHING and work is coming out SO SLOW. blargh!
