Is there anything more vulgar, more irritating, more vacuuous than management-speak? I think I have reached my saturation point. I'm existing in a world of self-improvement books, of highly effective people and their seven fucking habits. If one more person tries to "touch base" with me... maybe I'll just play dumb: "You want to touch my WHAT??"

Well. We kinda missed the SG show last night. We went after class, but didn't get there until about five minutes before the performance ended. Oh well. If I hadn't taken the time to run home and fix a drink and tart myself up, maybe we would have made it. But I would've felt like shit without a little booze and a little pink dress....

Hi... my GF sugest jsut throwing a big party insted of geting marred....
eek, I have been so busy, I have not even had time to catch up with the naked ladies. work is kicking my ass, but I can't really complain. It's still a hundred times better than being in sales. And I've been getting lots of assistance, including from a nice boy who loves le tigre and tells me I should go to europe by myself....

I have a new tattoo! I posted a picture of it. That picture was taken right after it was completed, my arm is not normally that red. Nevertheless, it looks a lot better there than it does right now, since it's in that dull-color-onion-skin-peeling stage. Kenn just told me it looks like lizard skin. The matching piece (a blackwork key, positioned on my other arm,...

I have an appointment on tuesday to get a tattoo in the same spot (but on both arms.) Too cute!
I love your hair by the by. I'm blonde now, but I'm always thinking about going dark. I've had black and brown and such. I just look better blonde. But if I could pull off the dark or red I would, it's so striking.

oh my. Let me tell you about this cheesecake I made at 2AM last night. It has a gingersnap crust, a bottom layer of cheesecake, a middle layer of fresh peach compote, and a top layer of cheesecake. Later, it will be glazed with a peach glazed and garnished with fresh peaches.

sick sick sick. I've caught the cold of doom that's been going around my workplace, and it's miserable. My head feels like it's full of fluid. We were supposed to go to RtB last night, but I just couldn't deal with putting on makeup and drinking and socializing. 
that's it, I'm done complaining! My hope is that today, I will be able to get some...

le tigre was awesome. awe-SOME. Even though the crowd was a little dull, I was bouncing around and singing and having a grand time with the girls around me. They even high-fived me when the set was over. sisterhood, y0.
Burlesquefest last night was pretty fun, there were definitely some impressive acrobatics going on, not to mention the incredibly hot naked ladies.

actually, they were touring. I saw them in LA, though.
1. Yesterday was my last day at working in Glendale. It was sort of awkward. I've only been there a few months and didn't really know who wanted to hug me and who wanted to just shake my hand. Relationships with co-workers are so bizarre. I baked some cookies for Juan to say thank you for all the time he's given to training me. For...

You know what makes me sad? When you have a little mini crush on someone, and one day they open their mouths to speak and they are just mind-bogglingly stupid. I'm not sure if sadness is an appropriate reaction to stupidity, but it's one I often experience.

I had the day off yesterday, and I was busy relaxing. I ran 3.5 miles and averaged a ten minute mile, which is not bad for me. Took a bath, read an interview with Barbara Ehrenreich, baked a rasberry-almond coffee cake, cleaned. Then we had a couple friends over for dinner, which was nice.

Which angela carter book are you reading? the Bloody Chamber (her reinterpretations of various fairy tales... a great book)?
I recently read Hard Boiled Wonderland, which is a great book... the thing is, it was hard for me to process in some ways before I instantly identified certain things as cliches simply because I'm reading an influential work at face value without evaluating its effects (if that makes sense? kind of like how, often, people who watch Pulp Fiction for the first time might dismiss it as something they've seen before). But I can see the innovation and it has some wonderful imagery.
I'm currently plowing through Cryptonomicon, which is damn fun.
Your food posts always make me happy... people who talk extensively about food make me happy (I actually read people's ljs if they discuss food pretty frequently). I think it's because a lot of people take meals for granted, so someone who actually breaks down & appreciates the composites is neat.
Anyway, if you see this, hi! The Carter book I'm reading is the collect short works, it's called Burning Your Boats. It includes The Bloody Chamber, which I quite liked. I've really liked all the fairy tales, though I find some stories overdone. A story about a beautiful vampire that compares sex and death? How original.
Murakami is, for me, the flip side of that coin. I love the way he twists cliches into something new and invigorating. But I am also a big fan of concise, straight-forward, economical writing (so you can see why Carter doesn't always thrill me).
