So while I wait for my new phone to be delivered by DHL (see last journal entry) I thought I would write....
I have an evironmental health exam at 4. I am nervous, but I think i got this shit down pretty well. I am kinda nervous about reciting the nitrogen and carbon cycles, but at the moment I feel pretty good about it...
the tattoo is "healing" according to the ol' wise one, danny, becuase it itches like a mother fucker. and what's worse is that it's right on my pants line, so i haven't worn real pants in a week and a half. wtf. STOP ITCHING!!!!!!!
Next weekend I am going to Reno, NV for a legislative lobby/grassroots weekend with my friend Uzma. I am excited...considering I have never seen any of Nevada other than the shit city I live in....I hear nothern nevada is beautiful. so I'm down. The day I get back my sister comes in to LV....that should be fun.
And a skin update (for those of you who care):
Murad system is not working for my skin, so I am going to make an appointment with danny's dermatologist. Back to modern medicine i guess....something has got to give. Acne as a pre-teen, to a teen, to a young adult, and now to an adult. Will it ever go away? I am desperate at this point....
and, my dogs are all beautiful. I am one lucky person to have the wonderful animals I have....
and (e:lilho), i have to say, that metallic thingy jennifer hudson was wearing was quite awful. I definitely prefered the dress she wore after she accepted her oscar during the press conference.....much lovelier (if that is a word).
k all. happy tuesday.

all of this stuff...start out with the tattoo experience:
haven't been tattooed in 5 years...and i certainly forgot how incredbily painful it is. After the artist told me it would only take 45 minutes, I thought, ok, I can handle this....2 hours later I was in agony still under the needle. I have to say, the end result is gorgeous and I am quite happy with my cover up of "henry" the radiohead monster with my beautiful hot pink tiger lily, but all in all, the experience was quite unbearable. Not to mention I had my first conversation with a stripper who works at a famous las vegas strip club about brazilian bikini waxes and how she thinks she wants to permanently have it lazered. whatever. painful experience....during and certainly after. I am still so sore while the healing process takes place....pics soon to come once healing is complete.
moving on to my next big hoopla:
One of my closest friends, mark lud, is in from buffalo visiting me. He is a big gambler, so I have been trying to take him to all the gambling super hot spots in vegas. He really wanted to see Binions Casino in downtown las vegas, since that is where the world poker tour used to be held for like 20 years. So last night, I met some of my friends there, along with mark, and hit up the bar while mark gambled a bit. While I was waiting for my friend Kristina to show up and waiting on other people to message me to tell me whether they were meeting up or not, I put my phone in my pants butt pocket so I could feel it vibrate. I had to go to the bathroom while I waited, so off I went to the binions ladies room.....while pulling down my pants, down went my phone, INTO THE BINIONS TOILET. ugh! I dind't even think about germs, and I just stuck my hand in the toilet to pick it up. EWWWWWWWWWWWW! So, not only was I devastated that my phone was fucked, my now i had gross binions toilet hand. I have always heard stories about people dropping their phones into toilets, but never thought it would happen to me. WELL it did. and it doesn't work. at all. i thought it would, but it doesn't'. so I spent all morning at verizon wireless and on the phone with the insurance company. The insurance company didn't believe me when I told them I dropped it into the toilet, so I had to go the verizon store to have a representative verify it wasn't working, but on my way there, realized it wasn't in the plaza it used to be. Yea, i had to drive all over to find one, since I dind't have a phone to call 411. i finally get there, and after announcing it to the entire verizon store and getting much sympathy from all customers, the very nice people there ordered me a new phone and it should be in on tuesday.
untill then, I am wireless-less. poop.
In other news, petey, the new puppy, is doing wonderful with the pugs. They are all getting along very well and it makes me happy....
Also, I dropped $100 on nothing tonight. After years of not gambling, I realized why I don't tonight. IT'S A FUCKING WASTE OF A WASTE. I thought i could gamble my way to a new juicy couture suit, but not only did i not win money, but im out. lovely. never again....
anyway, i hope all of you (e:peeps) are having better luck than me! Take care....

Back before the Binion family drama the Horseshoe was the best place to gamble in the world IMHO. I remember when I first turned 21 remember running across Freemont to go and play there. I just savored all of the grease from the snackbar and played Let it Ride and Blackjack I think. Years later before all of the troubles I did have an incredible run on the dice in that place, totally fueled on 12 Buds and a pack of Marb Reds. The Binion guys knew how to take care of the players. Then Benny was killed by his wife and the rest is written in Norm Clarks books. Then again I think the place lost its soul when they took out the 1 Million $s they had on display in 10,000 bills.
When Harrah's bought it from Ch 11 all they wanted was the World Series of Poker. Now I think The Mountaineer a racetrack in West Virginia owns the place.
A poker player is still going to look at that place as Yankee Stadium, that will never stop unless they totally screw up that place.

new puppy.....Well, long story short, Daniel and I always look on craigslist pet section to see what is going on in Las Vegas with Pets. We saw on saturday that a family was giving up their Japanese Chin who was only 5 months old because they no longer could take care of him anymore. Just so you all are up to speed, Japenese chins are my other favorite breed, but are rare and are mad expensive (like $5,000) hence the reason why we never got one. So, we contemplated all day on whether we could handle another dog...there are a ton of reasons why I thought it was a bad idea to get another dog, but in the end, I knew we had to get the little baby. So we called the owners and we met up in a park to see how the pugs would react to the little guy....things went great, so the owners just left him with us, with a small adoption fee of $200. It seemed as though the family just couldn't handle a puppy....they had 3 kids, the mom was sick and the dad had 3 jobs....so they never played with him and he didn't get the proper care he needed.
I know for sure we can take good care of him. Considering our dogs are our lives, they are all treated with huge amounts of love....and the puppy will have 2 other buddies to play with, so being played with is never a problem.
So, here is the new addition to our family:
The 3 puppies hanging out:
Petey:

Petey is supercute. And i love the name. Confession time for me -- i have a teddybear named Petey that i have slept beside since i was a toddler. My Petey is a little worse for wear... yours looks bright and new! :O)
And, of course, your pugs are as cute as ever. Then again, i am biased.

awe how cute you named him (joking of course) after me. Seriously glad he will be in a better home and hope he is welcomed by the other dogs.

blahNot much to report here. It has been a pretty low key weekend. I am kinda down about my body so everything danny and I tried to do was ruined by me being sad about how not cool my body is at the moment. I don't mean to be a brat, but when you walk around this city, you can't help be feel fat....i mean, everyone here is super skinny and beautiful. Its so agrevating....I am trying, but it's a slow process. I wish getting thin could be a hop, skip and a jump away. it's not. ugh.
i still can't believe anna nicole is dead. i mean, wtf?
I am currently making some healthy chilli. I am excited....
And to add to my hello kitty collection of random shit, I bought hello kitty shower traction thingy's (my bathroom is hello kitty of course). They are really cool. She is great.
Did i mention that I ordered new glasses? They are Versace and cost me a fortune, but the asian said I looked good in them, so i bought them. I can't wait till they get in. Always listen to asians when it comes to glasses selection, they know what's up.
aight. im out. (e:peeps): take care!

One word: BLACK ROCK CITY!
(ok, that was 3).
The closest I've been to Nevada, besides just passing through Las Vegas airport, is Death Valley, CA. The desert in the southwest is by far one of my top favorite places ever!
Oh yeh, everything I have seen, read, heard about Nevada (outside of Vegas) is gorgeous for the nature lovers. Its one of my targets for adventuring!! :)
Gah, my niece is having major skin problems too. She had been on Proactive which worked perfectly for her. She was able to fade back on the extent of use and # of products, then I think she eventually stopped using it, which was a big no-no. Now her skin is freaking out. I think she may try going back to Proactive, but I recently heard her mention going to a dermatologist for starters. So maybe she had tried restarting to no effect?
I agree with lib, that we 'manifest a lot through our skin'. Best of luck to all that :)
I care about your skin :) This isn't any disrespect to dermatologists, but from my personal experience with them they don't always look to address fundamental issues. Of course this is just from my experience, I can't speak for everyone. My problem has been with psoriasis. Of course it used to be a lot worse when my life was hell. Now it is only in hell part of the time so it isn't as bad. This isn't my advice to you in any way, but I just started taking essential fatty acids and my skin and hair have improved greatly in a short period of time. My advice is yes go to dermatologist, but remember that treating the problem does not end the problem. Maybe you can ask them about alternatives to prescription drugs if they do not offer the information themselves? We manifest a lot through our skin. I know that for sure.
