pre-op fasting - tuesday, september 07, 2010 - 08:55
...is hard to explain to a cat. Every time I get up from the computer, there she is with her tiny, bird-like mew looking at me with a combination of worry and disgust: "Did you just f*()%# forget my breakfast or are we out of food?"
Note to Cleo: you were a worthy adversary in the battle of "get into your carrier, dammit."
new roommates - thursday, august 05, 2010 - 08:49
Two new kitties! No names yet. Boy (black) is 6 and the girl is 8. They were a bonded pair I got from the SPCA in Oakland. They're both mellow and friendly.
Still miss Flannery but this helps.
ETA: Named 'em -- Murphy and Cleo (as in Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile).
dumb and weird - wednesday, may 26, 2010 - 15:45
Dreamed I was getting a makeover and photo shoot, courtesy of the people at America's Next Top Model. It wasn't for the show, just a free makeover. As one might expect, girls who wanted to apply for ANTM were there, but so were..."older" women who just wanted a free makeover. I never got called in. An old lady with GRAY hair went in for her turn, but they just kept telling me they'd be right with me.
Notes to self:
1. Get over your fear of rejection
2. Stop watching ANTM.
half home/half there - wednesday, march 10, 2010 - 08:27

Why I'm off cherry slushies for life - wednesday, january 20, 2010 - 11:30
These 3 words: Fresh Frozen Plasma
Life, recycled - monday, december 14, 2009 - 16:20
My love life and the movie "Groundhog Day" have frightening similarities.
strange observations - wednesday, october 28, 2009 - 11:53
-- my cat's canned food was reformulated. now it contains rice. wtf? since when do cats like rice?
-- people i love sure have a funny way of showing they love me: changing the plans from one day to the next. more "tilt-a-whirl" than relationship.
-- working from home has its good points: you don't have to comb your hair. its bad points: there's no pleasure in fooling around on the internet.
autumnal beverages - tuesday, october 13, 2009 - 13:09
having a Pumpkin Spice latte from Peet's. Much more spicey than pumpkin but OK. Also, they have a tea there called Russian Caravan! Too bad it smells like petting zoo.
all 9s - thursday, september 10, 2009 - 09:12
Nothing unusual happened to me yesterday, except seeing two parrots fly over Embarcadero Center: squawking loudly, bein' all green and free. They must have been doing some shopping before heading back to Telegraph Hill.
that's not to say - sunday, august 23, 2009 - 11:20
Staring at iTunes' visualizer, three songs and counting
tiny glowing beings swimming in and out, morphing colors, kaleidoscope-like, leaving the imprint on my retinas when I look away
this would be a good thing to do stoned, though I see, it's not necessary; that's not to say I'd turn down a toke, if a friend offered me one.
another good reason for vomiting - thursday, august 20, 2009 - 16:20
Looking up home remedies online. I've done some crazy stuff, but according to howtogetridofstuff.com, you can:
"Vomit – Vomiting may be an uncomfortable act, but it certainly lowers your headache down to a tolerable level right after. Since sinus headache is caused by the buildup of mucus in your sinuses, vomiting forces them out of your system. Eat a light snack and drink lots of fluids, so you can vomit easily. When you're ready to puke, head to the toilet and expel your stomach's contents. The sheer force of the act will bring along much of the mucus. After vomiting, you'll feel relaxed."
Is this for real?? And they tell you how to do it. That's gotta be a joke.
up for 1, down for 2 - wednesday, august 05, 2009 - 09:08
New flush handle in the women's restroom at work. Depending upon your output, you flush one of two ways. Huh. I had no idea that such flush technology existed.
wtf is that thing? - monday, august 03, 2009 - 08:26
I have National Geographic "picture of the day" on the iGoogle. Well, for the last 4 or 5 days, this thing has been posted. What the fuck is it? A party hat come to life? A drag queen underwater creature? Finally, I looked up the name on the photot "nudibranch" but wasn't much satisfied (wikipedia, thanks fer nuttin'). But still, maybe I'm just too anxious about other stuff going on in my life that I am bothered by this thing out of proportion to its actual weirdness. But just look at it!!
get out of my dreams, get under my car - thursday, june 11, 2009 - 08:57
An ex-boyfriend was featured prominently in my early morning dreams. Damn him. Piss off, would ya buddy?
Uh, I forget - tuesday, may 19, 2009 - 13:24
This morning, I couldn't find my book of stamps. I tried to remember when I had last used them. It took me about 7 minutes of solid thinking to recall that it was to post my absentee ballot on Saturday. SATURDAY! Not three months ago, but three days ago. Sad, too, how I was trying to remember something related to something that I'd lost.
I tell ya, I'm gonna need one of those helper monkeys, eventually.
Pittsburgh! - friday, may 08, 2009 - 18:50
D and Puja were right -- those Primanti Bros. sammiches are delicious! Very yummy and yes, I ate the whole thing.
The incline was funicular-riffic, too.
unintentionally funny - friday, march 27, 2009 - 21:12
Just watched "Lost in Time," a not-aptly titled Chinese movie about a woman who's fiancee gets killed in a car accident. She tried to carry on earn money driving the bus he used to drive (and died in) and take care of his son from a previous marriage. A co-worker of the fiancee steps in to help out, and the rest is easily guessed. What was funny was the fair to poor quality translation of the subtitles. The best is the exchange between the woman and the friend after he failed to show up for dinner:
Her: Where did you go? I thought you turned a blind eye to me.
Him: Featherbrain. I would not do so.
Eh...ok.
You might be too immature for you job if... - friday, march 20, 2009 - 09:31
...you think the word "infarction" sounds a little too close to "fart."
Hee.
that sick, sick feeling - friday, january 30, 2009 - 11:13
My first published error as an editor. Not enjoying this at all. Especially since I told the author that I fixed the error. Boo me.
Christmas is back - sunday, december 14, 2008 - 09:25
Bought a cute 4' tree for $20, courtesy of Big Longs and decorated last night. Seeing his old stocking, with his name stitched on, made me feel kinda sad, but then, not.
This year, spending it someone new, someone the old he isn't even close to being.
Feeling pretty excited, too, that I have a date for The Nutcracker, Christmas and New Year's. But that's not really the important part.
