The living is easy?

I had a lovely weekend away, despite an aching shoulder which caused me some lost sleep.  I ate berry pie, iced the shoulder, read half a novel and watched some tennis on TV.  But the second I came back people started fucking with me.  It’s amazing.  There I was juggling an overnight bag, two shopping [...]

Hungry like a cranky

I am hungry. This is a side effect of my week of consistent exercise.  I laugh at myself thinking that I’m going to exercise and LOSE weight.  No.  Yesterday I ate an egg sandwich, Vietnamese food (after which I was RAVENOUS), cashews, cheese, a camamello bar, a 25 cent cheetos, jelly beans, tofu, a baked [...]

Never ever kissed a tranny before

Yesterday I was in the pharmacy picking up a prescription and the kid at the counter was singing along to some rap song in which some guy is telling some woman that she’s “gotta swallow.”  I wanted to say something to the kid about not wanting to hear that offensive crap, but decided that I’m [...]

Brief

I have to be brief because I am taking a long lunch today to go to this class that a friend recommended.  It may be too schmancy for me, but I have a guest pass and I am determined to be pleasant. It probably isn’t a good sign when I have to remind myself to be [...]

Summer weekend

This is a funny idea, though I wonder who’s really behind it. 
I had a lovely weekend. I remembered some of the things that I love about summer.  I bought some of them at the Greenmarket. There were small, ripe peaches and cherries and sugar snap peas. Summer produce is fabulous.  I think the cherries may [...]

Blessings

My rent is increasing!!  The rent guidelines board decides, and we pay.  I caught sight of the news this morning while I was riding the subway and reading the headlines on someone else’s paper.
I don’t like when my rent increases–nobody does.  But I realized that even if I take the 2 year increase of 8.5%, [...]

Non-Blonde

Last night I was watching “So You Think You Can Dance,” and was admiring one of the judge’s new platinum blonde-ness.  I wondered, “how would I look with blonde hair?”  My second thought was, “My mother would kill me.”  So sad.
She wouldn’t REALLY kill me.  I think.  She’d just shame me into thinking that I [...]

The game

Last night I went to the Cyclones game!  I love how easy it is to see the hits and outs and how many kids there are at the minor league games.  I ate cotton candy and a pretzel at the game and then a hot dog at Nathan’s after the game.  The cotton candy was PINK [...]

The attack of the killer junk food

Yes!  Harriet has sent the cool weather my way.  I just hope it lasts for a few days–maybe then the cat will start to eat cat food and not just MY FOOD.
She had a bit of a trauma the other evening.  My empty 25 cent Cheet0s bag had drifted onto the floor.  I heard some cat-jumping [...]

and then I

I don’t have much to say.  Here’s what I have:
Summer sucks.  Running in the heat sucks.  I want Spring weather and long days all year.  I can’t effing believe that I’m going to train for the marathon in this disgusting-ness.
I had a lovely weekend–read a lot, slept a lot.  I’ve probably read 500 pages of [...]
