I'm going to attempt to start keeping a (paper) food journal, despite a couple of things:

a) I, like many people, have a difficult time starting anything new and keeping up with it. Especially, of course, in regards to food and/or exercise.

b) The template I have for it is, in fact, one of those dreaded four-letter words. It's not any of the brand- ( Read more... )

• In general, I like the apartment where we live. However, the fact that I can hear the person in the apartment above me peeing, while I'm lying in bed, is a tad disconcerting.
• Getting a tattoo, at least on my upper arm, didn't feel so bad. It was uncomfortable, but it wasn't excruciating. This means I will probably, at some point, get more tattoos. ( ( Read more... )

I finally got my first tattoo. It turned out really well.

It also didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it might.

I'm also tired and irritated now. I think the tattoo process might have made me more tired than I normally would be, but it is also 10:00. I'm very bitey right now though, because of the tiredness. Sebastian is also, now, irritated.

The History channel, on occasion, has some good programs.

However, it also has a lot of bullshit and stuff that has nothing to do with history and much to do with entertainment.

I know, many other people have talked about this and the downward spiral of the channel for years. (One of these people is a co-worker of mine, who has a master's in history ( Read more... )

Sebastian's cats hate me now.

I suggested we get collars for them, because mine has one and also because it's getting warmer. And if one or more decides to escape because it's getting warmer and spring-like, I'd like them all to have collars with tags and their names and our numbers.

Well, in our shopping expedition today, we got the collars and I'd ( Read more... )

I went out last night in order to hang out with someone I met at the class class. She bartends at a local bar, which according to some, is the new lesbian "hot-spot". [I say that somewhat ironically, as I tend to think of hot-spots as expensive and exclusionary and said bar is more working class.] There were a bunch of cool female-type people there ( Read more... )

• This evening was the final night of the "class class". [Basically, an informal class made up of people who want to discuss class, classism and the links between that and other "isms", like racism, sexism, etc. A couple of local activisty women picked out articles and facilitated discussion.] I think I mentioned this a while back that it was ( Read more... )

I decided to get shit-faced after a shitty day at work* and what do I pick up from the liquor store? Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante.

Yeah, I know. I'm classy.

*I got reprimanded for not washing my hands "enough" while I was sick. If I did it every time I coughed/blew my nose, I would have been reprimanded for having to leave the register too many ( Read more... )

All I have to say is:

• I tend to post more when I'm having a hard time or not feeling well, so don't take that as a sign that I'm always negative and shit. I know those of you who know me will know this, but those of you who only know me through the internets might not.
• I was really fucking productive these last three days. This consequently makes me ( Read more... )

The congestion has moved up from my lungs to my nose/head. It's doing the exact opposite of what it usually does. Waaaaah!

This morning, as I feared, was made of suck. And for more reasons than my cold! That part sucked, as did the random backache I got in the middle of my lower back. For no apparent reason. I woke up between 2 and 3 AM and there ( Read more... )
