Holy shit! My virgin ears!Who ever knew Charlie Brown had such a dirty mouth.
(not at all safe for work)
ummm...wow.
Well that's 8 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Although the first time Marcy says "f you" it is pretty funny.

random recapAnd I went to New World to pick up my special order. First physical CD I've bought in ages. I got the "Verve//Remixed" box set. Cool stuff. It's like old jazz stuff (Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Astrud Gilberto) remixed by house DJs (Tricky, Felix da Housecat, Danger Mouse, Postal Service (!)). So far so good. A lot of it's pretty slow, almost trip-hop/ slow groove type of stuff. Stuff you might hear in a swanky lounge. Strikes me as excellent slow dance and/or make-out music. Too bad I have no one to slow dance and/or make out with.
But my user song is now Astrud Gilberto's "Who needs Forever" remixed by the Thievery Corporation. Give it a listen.
And, I got my new ipod. Yay. Gotta get that puppy loaded up. :) Now I have no excuse not to exercise. :/
On that note- around christmas time I realized my jeans were getting tight. So I decided to do something about it. And I am happy to say, I've lost 6lb since New Year's. And I say that not to brag, but to say that if I can do it- anyone can. To those of you that are wondering how to go about it- I heartily recommend weight watchers. I lost 25lb with them last year. Then I stopped paying attention, and some of it creeped back up. So 1/1 I started working on it again. And it works. It's not magic. I think the biggest thing about it is that it just makes you pay attention to what you eat, and be accountable for it. That in itself is huge. Anyway. Don't mean to be preachy. But that's my advice.
Now to get some music into my shiny new ipod. :)

hey chick -
You should totally check out the Thievery Corporation Verve Remix album! That has been one of our faves for a couple years - and it turned me on to other ThieveryCorp albums, which are pretty cool. You like the box set? I don't think I knew that existed? How many discs is it?
Ah, the iPod nation...of which I am not a member. I have an iRiver mp3 player and I totally love it. I've dropped that thing about 2.3 million times and it still works great. I'm thinking of getting a new one with more capacity soon. I know there are benefits from using the iPod - you can use iTunes directly for example. (I have to buy iTunes, burn them and then rip them to mp3s to be able to listen to them on a non-iPod player. Anyone else have a good suggestion on how to NOT do this?)
Also, major kudos on your renewed commitment to exercise! It *IS* really hard to get out there ((e:chico) and I are going through a real lazy patch right now - both swamped at work (no excuse I know) and tired!!zzzzz). Hmmm - I hope Ethiopian food is good for Weight Watchers? ;-)
i lost 6lb too. i think because i switched to diet pop.
Yeah not that I have ever tried to lose or gain weight. But for most people what you said is true you have to watch what you eat and cut down some. If there is a type of exercise that someone enjoys they can add that to (the key is not to say I ran a mile now I can have a bowl of icecream and wind up eating more calories then you just burned) then that is help. The key thing is not to over do the exercise (it has to be fun or you will stop); and not to over do the cutting back. If you strave yourself you body goes into shutdown mode and that isn't good.
Yeah, shiny ipod. I'm two weeks into my ipod and it's a good thing

my dad is too cuteSo I opened it-
and here's what Dad sent me: (sorry, picture is fuzzy)-
Yes, that's right, it's Snakes on a Plane.
I don't really care about the movie. I just like the little picture he drew that looks like it was done by a 5 year old.
I don't know why I think that's so cute it's worth posting. Probably because I am the definition of Daddy's Little Girl.
I am super-tired. Work was insane last night. BGH got all worked up in a tizzy because they heard there was a 'gunshot wound to the chest' coming in- turns out it was a SHOCK to the chest (like for cardiac arrhythmias), not a SHOT. Thank god. I did not feel like dealing with a GSW last night.
We also took 25lb of fat off one one lady's belly. She'd lost 100lb, and had extra skin/fat hanging down to her knees- so bad she couldn't walk. So we fixed that. It was very bloody.
I am on vacation now. I should be excited, but I'm not really, since I can't afford to spend my time doing anything but studying. And I know I won't study enough.
The guy in Iraq is supposedly leaving Iraq I think tomorrow, but he hasn't been online at all since I talked to him last saturday. Bummer. I hope everything is ok.
I think I got booty-called last night. At least, what else could a voicemail from 1am saying "i'm on my way to the bar between our houses, wondering what you're up to" mean? I don't think that's ever happened to me before. Too bad I was at work. Or maybe, thank god I was at work.
Have not heard any good news on the interview front yet.
3 rejections. 49 places yet to respond. I'm starting to get nervous. :(
I am cold and tired and a little sick. I feel like I "have to" go out tonight, since it's saturday night, but I kind of feel like just cuddling up on the couch with season 2 of grey's anatomy, popcorn, and a cozy blanket. Fortunately Brad The Landlord fixed my broken outlet today. It required sawing through the floor of the attic and all sorts of craziness.
I think I will go iPod shopping tomorrow. That's sure to make me feel better, right??
Ok, enough random shit for now.
Have a good weekend peeps!
A
p.s. Tony! Wii Party!!
ok, "care package" is an overly romantic term. It was a scarf that I forgot at home, and a christmas ornament that mom wanted to get rid of. And snakes on a plane, of course.
i never got one of those :(
actually, that is hysterical. i'd love to get some random crap like that. especially that you still get care packages! holy crap i haven't gotten one of those since sophmore year.

I've had kisses that make Judas...First, an announcement:
Whoever stole my red gloves from PMT's at Tony's bday party:
YOU SUCK.
If you need gloves, I have plenty of other pairs I can give you. Hell I'll buy you new gloves. But I really wanted to wear those ones today.
Please give them back.
New user song today. Citrus, by the Hold Steady. They have some amazing lyrics. (maybe not these ones in particular.)
Hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when you touch each other
Hey whiskey, hey ginger
I come to you with rigid fingers
I see Judas in the hard eyes
of the boys who worked in the corners
I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers
Hey bar roommate tavern
I find hope in all the souls you gather
Hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when we come together
I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers
I feel Judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners
I feel jesus in the tenderness of honest, nervous lovers
I feel Judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders
Lost in fog and love and faithless fear
I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere
Lost in fog and love and faithless fear
I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere
Ok, back to work. Time to snip some lips.
(I wish there was a barfing smiley).
Just kidding, gyne is doing that case, not surgery.
