DETOX DAY 5:
halfway through. honestly, i'm thinking about extending the juice fast. it has gone so smoothly and the rest of the progam's menu is so much like my normal vegan diet. what do you think? take it to 5 days?

the colon cleanse was a little anti-climatic. i'll leave it at that.

DETOX DAY 4:
2nd day of juice fast and still no prob! my breakfast juice was amazing. pear, fennel, carrot, golden beet and kale. i treated myself to extra pear so it would taste more breakfast-y. but the food goes fast when you reduce it to juice! i made a sizable dent in the groceries i bought just last night. down to my last fennel...

DETOX DAY 3:
what a crazy fucking day! i woke up at 5:45, drank my cayenne pepper juice. i thought i was supposed to start the liver cleanse today so i made and drank that. but i checked my list and i'm not supposed to do that until saturday. whoops. it wasnt bad tho. carrot juice, ginger, garlic and olive oil. yeah, kinda salad-y.

then...

DETOX DAY 2:
the glass of cayenne pepper juice went down easier today. the garlic is not problem either. however, tomorrow the garlic plot thickens. stay tuned.

i have the WORST time with the "breath of fire". for me it feels counter intuitive and i'll lose the rhythm and have to pause and start again. also i'm still congested so that doesnt help. i was...

DETOX DAY 1:

first thing when i wake up, i quickly drink 16oz of water with the juice of a lemon, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a packet of Emer'gen-C vitamin C. it wasnt too bad, a bit spicy for first thing in the morning and i felt slightly nauseous for a minute or so. this is our kidney cleanse and we will do...

just a quickie update to get the ball rolling.

i start my 10-day detox fast today so you will have to suffer through regular updates about how fucking hungry i am. i'll edit later and fill you in on the gory details after the first workshop.

okay, back from the workshop. here's the low-down:
the actual juice fast only lasts 3 days. all other days...

What a beautiful face I have found in this place
that is circling all around the sun
what a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen
in a blink of an eye and be gone from me
soft and sweet
let me hold it close and keep it here with me

last night i went to bed with the goal of remembering my dreams. i was actually hoping for one of the erotic variety but i got this instead:

i'm in the house i grew up in. my mother (there she is again) is returning from shopping. it appears that she has bought a new car that my younger sisters friend antonia is driving back to...

UGH!!! i have the sickness that will not end. i'll go a day or two where i feel close to normal then i have days like today where i think i will never breathe again. i've even confined myself to the house and been quiet and still for the past few days. wtf?

on a happier note, i got my car stereo rigged so i...

i skipped out on "hanging the wall" at school today. clearly i'm off to another lousy start this quarter. but todays activity is much more about being seen by hank and i'm so over that game. i gave up the goods when i wrote the cookie book, that should have sufficed.

monkeys learn after twice and, evidently, third time's the charm.

"what's today?"

that's how i start almost every sentence now. or "i may have already told you this". getting old SUCKS! my mom (i have more journal entries about her than i care to count) has a terrible memory. i had hoped it was from the years and years of her guzzling NutraSweet sweetened diet soda and that i couldn't inherit it. but this was...

well school is officially back in session so i SHOULDN'T be around as much. i was originally supposed to graduate/finish my portfolio by January 11 but the temptations of a couple online communities proved too great.

that and i'm scared shitless to graduate.

when i left my 'meh' job (even with its sweet paycheck) and came back to school, i was full of ambition. now...
