when i grow up, i want to be an old woman
Apr. 1st, 2009 | 11:46 pm
this is my favorite commercial right now and in recent memory.
i've always taken an interest in my health but something about seeing these 'old' ladies cheer leading, shimmying about and just so vivacious, it makes me relatively about getting old. not the aging but living to see old age.
coincidentally, i had my physical yesterday (where i was BUTCHERED by the phlebotomist intern, whom i'm pretty certain hit my muscle) and my labs came back.
cholesterol - 108 (down from 134 last year)
HDL - 52 (up from 43)
YEAH. :D

i don't post enough
Mar. 12th, 2009 | 10:30 pm
location: starbucks
and of course the feeling to update strikes while at starbucks, where i have accompanied my mom. though she is actually working on important things, like coordinating surgeries and i'm just browsing eBay for vintage things, ha.
but really, there isn't much to update about. i'm still working at the zoo. i'm still single. i'm still a giant nerd (i don't mind that, though). it's incredible to think that aside from a few personal growth experiences, i feel very much the same now at 22 as i did at 18. is that good or bad?
going astray from that, i have to say, now that i'm typing i feel like a much more productive member of the Starbucks Notebook Elite; everyone around me as been furiously typing, flipping through notes and getting things done. cut to my computer screen - "eBay search results for : vintage salt pepper shakers"
music recommendations, anyone?
i've been listening to a lot of Pink Martini, Feist and April March lately and am looking for anything with a smilar vibe to any of the aforementioned.
edit : i just decided to glance around me and the guy directly across from me looks like Edwart Norton with a long goatee, the one across the room looks just like Jerry Van Dyke and the guy in the comfy chair flush next to me is just plain cute, ha.
i should look up more often.

fuck land, i'm on a BOAT, motherfucker
Feb. 16th, 2009 | 11:39 am
or will be shortly.
going on a little 4 day cruise to Baja. great timing, considering L.A. is covered in rain, but the forecast for south of the border is cool, but sunny.
i'm looking forward to not working, all you can eat everything and singing "I'm On A Boat" endlessly.
i am bummed that i'll be missing almost all of Conan's last week, save for Friday's show. :(
ah well.

had anyone noticed that the date on the surveillance photo in THIS STILL was the release date (2008/7/18)???
i did not and, frankly, am ashamed of myself.
sad that it took a 2:30am 'i need a new wallpaper' inspection of TDK promo shots for me to discover this.

holidays + failed diets

music: Smile - Judy Garland
i have my iTunes on shuffle and "The Christmas Song" came on and oh god, i like listening to Christmas tunes way earlier than most, but whenever i hear them before, at least, Halloween, they make me feel so odd; now i'm sad summer is just about over, excited because Halloween is just that much closer, disappointed i didn't have a summer romance (lol), eager for cooler weather, melancholy over Christmases past, and definitely sad that i'm growing older.
veering in a different direction...goddamn conchas! these delicious (and cheap) sweetbreads -
have totally derailed my diet with their sweet, bread-y goodness.
eta : i'm totally lurking over at the web-cam-stop-motion-thingy and see this one -
and am all, "hey, isn't that drew from tfd?" and alas, it is; he blogged about it the other day, haha.

so my old 20GB Photo iPod that had thousands of songs on it that i don't have on this computer (or anywhere), with the click wheel that mysteriously stopped working for months and months?
YEAH, IT WORKS NOW. :D
i picked it up to plug it into iTunes, because 'the works' inside never died, and absently started moving around the wheel but lo and behold, they responded and now it's fine.
I DECLARE IT THE WORK OF HEATHUS.

i truly was for a while there, then not-so-much and just denied and continued acting like it was a joyful little choice on my part. no more lying to myself; i am straight up sad over my entire lack of anything close to a lovelife.

so i ended up at Nordstrom Rack with my mom earlier and right before we checked out, when they were already ushering people to hurry the fuck up and get out, i spotted the neatest purple wool coat and immediately thought "oh shit, this would be perfect for halloween!". so i bought it.
well, now i realize it's not so much purple as blue. :/ idk what to do with it now, though. i've been looking online for a purple coat (that isn't some cheapo costume thing, because i'd rather buy something i can use outside of the halloween week) for a while now and they're all pretty expensive, around $70+. this was only $35 (with a 'retail value' of $100)...do i keep it and make do or return it and hope to find something better for around the same price..? ahh!
it looked so nice under the store lights, but it is so damn royal blue here, unless i zap it with the flash, and then it just looks like a lighter blue.
boo urns. :(

so with all this Batman on my brain, it was only natural that it starts to invade my shopping habits.
picked up at Border's & Target yesterday -
starting September (or i think, i haven't opened it yet), i can have a dose of TDK hotness every day! and i got it for 30% off, too. pencils & tattoos courtesy of Target's always-rewarding Dollar $pot. i noticed the Fruit Roll-Ups at the checkout and couldn't resist, haha.

i've been feeling really odd & transitional lately, even though things have been static for a few months.
feels like something is on the horizon and my brain is getting me ready.
so summer classes don't start until june 11th. 2 whole more months! ugh. i want to go now. mostly to feel productive for a few weeks before i get shitfaced for a week straight in Vegas for my 21st and also because i want to see professor kary. but i feel like if i wait until then to talk it will be utterly too late...but i have no idea what to write/say now.
i'm seriously considering just stopping by his office and getting it over with when i meet up with jennifer on thursday. i'd do it tuesday so i don't have to bother with talking to her afterwards, but he's got a late night class on mondays which means tuesday morning will find him in a touchy mood. fuck, i'm going to figure out what to do this next week, i have to, i've ignored it for too long.
god, i need a job. i've been trawling craigslist & the like and there is nothing around here. now i'm going to just start filling out applications everywhere close, regardless of whether they're 'hiring' or not. i want to start saving for a car & an apartment, and with minimum wage at $7.50/hr and the average single around here $1,000/month, i need to get a gigantic headstart if i intend to move by January.
growing up sucks.
also, i'm kinda feeling like i want a boyfriend. i still stand by the fact that ALL relationships fail, whether or not the parties involve admit to it (by means of breaking up/divorcing), but i'm getting strong internal feelings of wanting to get involved with someone. so odd. </font>

or at least for 6 weeks.
I got hired for a temp position with Nielsen EDI today. Monday-Friday, 9-4 @ $8.50/hr with an hour unpaid lunch. I call/fax/email schools across the country & Canada to find out their school calendars. I enter the info onto paper and then computer. They use it to release movies at optimum school-age viewership times. It's so perfect because I still have my weekends, I'd be home before my mom (so it won't interfere with dining out), and the job ends in perfect time for me to take a summer course during the last session. Sweet.
Other news: Still greatly concerned over major choice. Considering switching back to childhood development but how to tell Kary? I could stay involved in the club but it might be weird. Oh well, I'll put that out of my mind for now because other things are great.
We leave for Vegas (yes, again) tomorrow evening. Staying until Sunday. Two of my credit cards gave me credit line increases days ago, without my asking. Oh dear.

the last few days has brought about a couple realizations.
-i really, really want to go to London. visit for now, but eventually move to the the UK..?
-i have absolutely no idea what i want to do, career-wise.
the latter being the most important, i've naturally devoted less time to the matter.
anthropology? what i am even going to do with that? i don't know. maybe i should just go back to nursing. :/ or further pursue cinema. but nursing really is the most logical choice..done in just a couple more years, good pay, not entirely terrible job.
i'll never end up with something i'm 100% about anyway. i've been career-hunting since middle school...if i can't decide by now, i never will.
and i really need to get over my fear of flying. terrorism's at the bottom of the list as to why i fear it..it's more the whole thing of if anything goes slightly wrong and we crash we all die. yeah.
this rain is great but wet jeans are not.

Curious George Is Indeed A Curious Anomaly.
Jan. 31st, 2006 | 12:51 am
you know what pisses me off?
Curious George.
now, i used to enjoy the books in preschool/kindergarten, but my annoyance did not arise until semi-recently.
he's referred to as a "little monkey".
MONKEYS HAVE TAILS
last i checked, this little bastard was without tail and was supposed to be a chimpanzee (which is NOT a monkey, but rather an ape).
what ridiculousness to let this whole "monkey" stuff go on so long! this is 1000x worse than the parents at the zoo who point their kids in the direction of Lowland Gorillas and proclaim, "Sarah, look at the monkey!".
and of course, in the new movie, despite not being ass-backwards when it comes to animals today, he has NO TAIL but the ads read...
well you know what Universal, Brian Grazer & Ron Howard, show me the monkey. show me a damn MONKEY in your movie and i will crap a diamond.

so if i started saving every penny right now, i could move out in...
Jan. 6th, 2006 | 10:48 pm
...a little over 2 years. how depressing. especially because i'd like to leave, um, like NOW, but at least by this time next year.
i'd need bare minimum of $2,500 just to secure an apartment (cheapest singles right around here are $1,000-$1,100, but a lot are higher), figuring they ask for 1st month's rent & a deposit of the same amount and assuming rent rates stay where they are.
( severely in-depth calculations on moving out )
good GOD, that was long and annoying, i am so sorry. this has been eating away my brain for a few days now and i just needed to figure it all out....i haven't, but this helped.
plus i'm upset because no one is buying my crap from eBay and i'm trying to get rid of those damn DVDs and make like $20 in the process. argh. and no one's buying my mom's friend's software either! that's most upsetting because if it sells i get a cool 10% commission. buy business owners, buy!
