Oops, more housecleaning stuff…
March 31, 2008I forgot to add that I did it – I’ve been practicing handstand on my own without the wall and now I’m getting up. I mean, I fall over immediately, but there’s that moment of holding which means that now … Continue reading

March 31, 20081. We’re moving to Hollywood in two weeks. 2 weeks from today, to be exact. Here’s why this makes me very happy: I will be able to take the subway to work (yes – LA has a subway). My commute … Continue reading

March 26, 2008Yes! I just found out, via ABC News 7, that I am acknowledged in the DSM-IV. Well not *me*, per se, but my illness: addiction to the Internet. I suppose it’s another affliction altogether which led me to believe that … Continue reading

March 25, 2008I’m finally starting to feel better. It’s been five days and I’m full on ready for this to be moseyin’ on. *** It’s the 5 year anniversary of the Iraq war. That’s just awesome. 300 days left. *** In lighter … Continue reading

March 22, 2008Better late than never: I finally watched the Obama race speech for myself. “Embarking on a program of self-help [requires] a belief that society can change.” THIS is the ideology that is much more relevant and important to me than … Continue reading

March 22, 2008I am still sick so instead of heading out to watch hoops, I watched Half Nelson. Whenever I hear Half Nelson, I always think Half Baked when really the two movies are nothing alike. Mostly. *** My work (the client, … Continue reading

March 20, 2008I remain sufficiently surly. I appear to have a chest cold. I had a five and a half hour meeting today where I thought my brain was melting. I ate two bowls of Cap’n Crunch for dinner tonight and some … Continue reading

March 19, 2008I am in a really bad mood right now. The sort of mood where I feel like complaining about everything. I am exceedingly annoyed that I left my phone charger and Lulu jacket in Austin and the hotel still hasn’t … Continue reading

…And this trip just keeps on giving. I didn’t realize this but apparently I booked my flight to leave tomorrow a.m. (I thought I was leaving tonight.) I’m such a space. I used my extra time to take Hannah’s class … Continue reading

March 15, 2008I must admit: I’m tired. I couldn’t force down another slice of pizza if it was covered in honey peanut butter, and alcohol sounds about as appealing as drinking grease. Hav just asked me if I want Nueva Onda – … Continue reading

March 14, 2008This one’s not starting out right. I set my alarm for 7 a.m. PACIFIC time and missed the class I was really looking forward to teaching. I feel really lame right now. Especially really sorry to Malia and Angela. Sigh. … Continue reading

March 12, 2008Hi. I thought I’d blog my way thru sxsw this year b/c NOW I get why blogging and music go together like chocolate wafers and vanilla cream filling. At this moment I’m on the plane from Dallas. I’m oddly happy … Continue reading

March 12, 2008I literally *just* heard this on the nightly news: “…The study also proves that the [Teen Abstinence] program is a $1.5 billion failure.” No shit, really? Preaching abstinence is ineffective in preventing teens from hooking up?! It just doesn’t make … Continue reading

March 10, 2008Get this: I don’t even know what to say. I mean, what CAN be said? What’s next? This? Or maybe… this? Okay, okay — Google doesn’t compare with John Deere and McDonalds, but seriously, what does Blogger have to do … Continue reading

March 7, 2008P.S. I still shovel food with reckless discernment. This process of learning, of unfolding, of moving into new perspectives is messy. I wish I could be tidy, like, ahhh, I’ve learned the lesson, and here you go: wrapped up pretty … Continue reading

March 7, 2008I have been vegetarian (more or less) for the last 8 years. I say “more or less” because I started eating fish again around the time I moved to LA. So I guess that makes me pescetarian although I go … Continue reading

March 5, 2008Writing class tonight. Let me assure you that freestyle writing then “performing” is way harder than blogging. Who knew? The aim is to get as much out as possible without filtering. Plus, what you end up getting assigned to write … Continue reading

March 1, 2008Some upsetting news from the files of Products-I’ve-Never-Bought-But-Have-Wished-Many-Times-That-I-Had: Polaroid is discontinuing the production of instant film. Read about it here.
