i just made a KILLER lasagna (ok, well not a KILLER in terms of poison or anything...), with ground beef AND turkey sausage.  mmmm ( Read more... )

this move has killed my gym routine the past few weeks.  today being easter, i ate way too much.

i am so disgusted with myself lately, i might just hide out in a dark closet for a few months, until i wither away to a more appropriate weight.  then again, i'd be too weak to train...  but i'd be cute as hell!

Happy Easter!  My parents are in Prague on vacation, so I'm like little orphan annie over here.  ha.  My aunt is taking me out to dinner.

i just starched/iron some piece of fabric.  about to glue them onto 4 piece of corkboard, to hang over my desk.  i'm a dork, i know.

reading a lot lately.  not enough for school.  tonight i have to write a big ( Read more... )

just had  a great bjj class.  a new girl joined, and though i realized she is a good 5" taller than me, i just assumed we are the same weight.  wrong.   she is hella' strong, and 150-155lbs, a solid 20 more than me.  STRONG.  but she didn't submit me.  she's trained for about the same amount of time as me, but her old school was super aggressive, ( Read more... )

let's just talk about a weekend on the UWS.

saturday:  2 clients, then skipped bjj training, as the parentals came to visit (and brought me my recently declawed cat, a new vaccuum, and a fridgeful of food!).  then M and i braved an adventure to Roosevelt Island, this mysterious lump of land off Manhattan Isle.  she was extremely nervous about the ( Read more... )

i got a  postcard from Finland today, without a signature.  Apparently, someone i know has been "looking for" me in a variety of cities there.  someone with my new address.

hmmm...  very troubling and puzzling, yet wonderful.

i got kicked in the head at bjj yesterday.  nice.  i was rolling with this purple belt (who has his own branch of the school in Croatia!), and he was teaching me some great moves from the mount.  them BAM!  one of the guys who was rolling right next to us delivers a solid foot to the back of my head.  :(  it hurt like a bitch!  sometimes, i am ( Read more... )

 just got home from the ballet.  Paul Taylor company at city center.  amazing.  especially the deer, who i saw as a Viking.  and still like to think of as a Viking.  perhaps because I jsut read Gunnar's Daughter..

anyway, good to put on a pretty dress and pantyhose and pinchy-but-fabulous shoes now and again.  do dinner and the ballet.  and coffee ( Read more... )

spent day packing.  not enough reading for classes.  but it's only 6:30.  have i even left the apartment today?  i forget.

wish me luck - thinly-sliced tofu with peanut sauce marinade, about to be popped into broiler.  cross your fingers. i really want to learn how to cook and love tofu.  i hate when it's big chunks of it, all mushy.  blech.

books.  ( Read more... )

 not feeling so wonderful; stayed home tonight, despite UFC get-together at Chad's (Note:  i dig chad, his spacious digs, his dog; however, Astoria is a solid 60 minutes from Brooklyn via N train.  and coming home, late-nite, that thing goes local.  takes you home, via Zimbabwe, Cairo...  i swear they check passports at 2am).  reading.  also, i ( Read more... )
