Hello world
I’m sorry I’ve been so remiss in posting lately (hi Rose). I just returned from a trip to Irvine where I met with my advisor, saw some friends, and am back on track for returning to school. YAY!!! That is my big news and I’m very excited.
Stay safe, friends
The impending snowpocolypse makes me nervous for all my Midwestern friends. I hope you are all staying safe and way way far out of danger.
Haikus about baby showers.

There’s no open bar? Wait. There is no bar at all? Intolerable.
Uterus? Empty. Mine, not yours, my dear cousin. I can still have beer.
No, really, I can. You are the only one who cannot drink. Selfish.
Only so many “Oohs” and “Ahhs” re: tiny things Before I want beer.

Day 29: Pancakes
If you are going to have a fund raising pancake breakfast, you should serve more than just pancakes. Although I was happy to support my former swim team, I was expecting things like eggs, toast, hash browns, etc. Harrumph.
Day 26: Adult-like feelings
I exercised today and also filed my taxes. Although the latter just emphasizes how poor I am, I feel good that I can check something off my to-do list.
Day 25: Movies to See
See: Blue Valentine, Made in Dagenham, the King’s Speech
Don’t See: No Strings Attached (at least in theaters; perhaps worth it on DVD)
“You always hurt the one you love,
The one you shouldn’t hurt at all.
...”
Day 17: Movies to See and Not See
See: Black Swan, the Fighter
Don’t See: the Green Hornet (although Wire fans will appreciate seeing Cutty the boxer)
Day 13: I Love Deadwood
E.B.: Be brief!
Calamity Jane: Be fucked!
Day 11: First Queued Post!
What will have happened in the 24 hours that I lived since queuing this post? Interesting to think about. I always think of Election…”or I could be dead!” I’ll be away from my computer for a few days, getting Botox (no not really) but I want to keep up with my project as much as possible. However, it’s difficult to think of topics to write about in the future when I...
Day 10: Recommendation
Get thee to see True Grit. Especially if you love Deadwood as much as I do, it had the same wonderful language.
Day 9: Reblogged Wisdom
whydoihaveablog:
I think in 2k11 we should fuck feelings and emotions and instead take action and be bitch bosses.
This is the smartest thing I have ever written.
Day 8: Nussink
“We believe in nussink, Lebowski”
Day 7: Starting to number the days
Just finished reading So Much For That by Lionel Shriver. It’s the third book I’ve read by her and it’s hard to start another one because they are so wonderful I want to read them all at once. Which is difficult as they are long and beautiful to read but require concentration. You should read something by her; it will break your heart but be good for you in the long run. I have...
Doing good things
Last night I went to a volunteer orientation session at the animal shelter near my house. It was a lot of info and sad pictures (not necessary for me) and now I have plans to go through the next steps to become a shelter volunteer. I volunteered at this place when I was a teenager (so many moons ago), walking dogs and cuddling cats and giving vaccines and watching surgeries (which was what...
whoopsie
1 day into the new year and I have already missed a day of my 365 blog. Well at least I don’t have to worry about keeping up any streak :P And no time like the present for getting back on the horse.
Tomorrow I start a 5:30 am bootcamp as part of this whole “fitness” thing. Good times.

Unleashed on San Francisco
So very excited to spend the day tomorrow with Gabrielle and Tara, who plan to take me to a world-renowned donut place and let me play video games and clean their house (that last part may not sound like so much fun but for me it will be, I love nothing more than cleaning on a sugar-high).
They live in the Mission so I hope to become re-acquainted with the types of people I left in Chicago, the...
Foster Kittens
Less delicious than Foster Freeze, a million times more adorable. They were just captured from the wild yesterday so they are extremely feral. I am looking forward to hours of cuddling and taming.
One thing I learned so far: you are supposed to blink at them a lot to show you are submissive and there is no reason to be afraid of you. This has taught me a lot about previous encounters when people...
Getting a head start
On creating a 365 blog that I will officially start posting to on Jan 1. Got to do something besides fight the hangover.
