Last night, due to the snow, I opted to stay in and watch a movie. So this is what I want to know...what was the big deal with Chicago the movie? Everyone seemed to think it was so spectacular but I was totally bored. Don't get me wrong, the girls were hot (although I happen to think Zellweger is a bit of a frump) so...

Well, at least the big chill has let up a little here. I went to yoga class tonight...sometimes I think my teacher is a little sadistic. She is leaving for Arizona in two weeks, so she told us she was going to give us an extra "vigorous" practice. So, 6 Suryanamaskar A's and 6 Suryanamaskar B's later with multiple variations I'm sweating like a hog...

Jesus H Christ it is cold here. I swear each new year feels colder than the last. God, I sound like I'm 80. I definitely feel that old. Seems like everything was going swell until a couple of days ago. I was bad and skipped my usual fitness routine for the last two weeks and now I'm paying for it. I'm all aches and pains...I...

Thanks a lot for the venue information for my band. I will definitely plan on coming through that area.

I know what you mean -- it's 54F here and I'm freezing. 
Pinstripes on a race car ... I roared! That's hysterical!

Today was my first REAL day back at work...the whole 8-5. Work is overrated. Too bad money isn't. I need to become less dependent on money...resolution #2. I was doing alright last year with my resolution to stop shopping at the mall. That was actually much easier than I thought it was going to be. I hate malls. Don't get me started...

happy new year, sister. is that pink hair? love it. i agree with you; work is WAY overrated.
It's snowing like crazy outside. This is the first time I've actually had to shovel the sidewalk all winter. It's sort of nice.
The Packers were able to pull out their first post season game this afternoon which is great...mostly because that means a majority of the guys I deal with on a daily basis will be civil and not big crabs for the rest...

I've been trying to think of what it would be like to come to Las Vegas for the first time. I've live here 25 years and been coming here since I was 9.
The first thing is what are you looking for?
The Palms is the hip place to go for all us youngsters. Cool clubs and restaurants. They have a glass dance floor fifty some stories above the ground. Bellagio and MGM have some of the best restaurants. Ceasars forum is cool for people watching, fashion show mall for shopping. Venetian has tons of restaurants and is a cool place to walk around or take a gondola ride. It's also where madam toussad's wax museum is. Downtown is fun in a kitchy sort of way. Lot's of free stuff there. The best shows are Blue Man and the Cirque shows, O, Mystere and the new one zumanity. Of course you have to eat at least once at the world famous Battista's hole in the Wall, the oldest single owner restaurant in town (That's where I'm chef). You can check out vegas.com for more info and ask me anything. Just about every big hotel has a cool nightclub. Certain ones are better depending on the day of the week.

I watched the game and thought about you when they won in overtime. There were two moments I really loved.
One was when the when the Seattle quarterback (I'm not gonna try to spell his name) had such childish glee about over overtime. I'm a Lions fan, so I end up cheering for the other teams in the NFC Norris division, but I kinda wanted Seattle to win just because that guy was so out of control with joy. It's gotta suck to be him and have that moment replayed over and over, followed by the clip of the game-losing fuckup.
When the Green Bay defensive back picked off the pass to win the game -- he knew instantly that he was going to score. That adrenalin rush he had, throwing his arm in the air as he ran down the sideline, is contagious. It's fun to watch. I wish I had that guy's hair.
I'll have to admit, I wanted to puke when the Fox announcer said there are angels watching over the Packers. Isn't it bizarre how people want to pull religion into sporting events. Sorry, the angels don't have time to be concerned with sick and starving, they are making sure Brett Farve wins another football game.
And people wonder why I don't believe in angels!

I need to get warm...I'm a coldy-cat (that's what I'm told anyway). Why I'm living in Wisconsin when I hate the cold is a question I ask myself November thru April every year. But I hate the heat too. I get really cranky (I've been told that too). I'm such a perfectionist.

hi! well, it took me a sec to figure out who shiva8 was, but the racy picture connected all the dots.
nice to hear from someone living in mke but still progressive enough to hang out here. i grew up in waukesha and my parents still live on Pewaukee Lake. i'm now in minneapolis--talk about a stupid cold-weather move, but at least mom and dad "winter" in phoenix so i can visit. where are you from originally? how'd you end up in mke?
hey! seeing you naked again () reminds me--do you have any pics of the back and hip tattoos? for some reason i'm curious....
talk to me!

I LOVE Thai food, but I HATE myself when I eat so much. Especially when I eat so much that all I want to do is throw it back up...okay a little too much information, but I'm sure you know what I mean. I feel like such a glutton. Oh!! and then there are all those nifty exotic drinks with those little paper umbrellas (LOVE...

I liked your New Year's resolution so much I decided to steal it for myself.
Thomas Kinkade ... is there anyone more artistic than a guy with a "gallery" in every mall? How can one man be so intensely creative and yet so productive? His paintings are a bargain at $2000 or whatever the hell they charge. Fuck Jackson Pollack ... when did he ever paint a cute little sheep in a barnyard?
I liken movies like "Life as a House" and "Big Fish" to being like Thomas Kinkade paintings of terminal illness. Mayby Thomas Kinkade could hook up with Currier and Ives to make pretty figurines depicting the holocaust, or the recent earthquake in Iran?
Okay -- maybe I get angry and cynical!

Happy 2004! I spent the eve in Madison with friends, just dinner, drinks and fireworks. Low key but a great change of pace. And I somehow managed to stay resonably sober which I am happy for today. I bought a lottery ticket last night (something I never do) and had a lot of fun fantasizing with my friends about what we were going to do...

What an awesome resolution! I'm in between naps right now myself! Glad you had a great New Year.
Edited to say ... hey, I just noticed the new profile pic with the new hair ... very cool.
Edited again to make another comment ... I forgot about Joe Strummer. I feel so ashamed! I'm gonna miss him too.

What a great resolution. I have heard that if you have a decision to make ask yourself "what would I do if I wasn't afraid?" and there is your answer. My resolution is to achieve my spiritual potential, whatever that means. Oh yeah, and give up caffiene, but not today . Your hair looks great. Happy New Year. 
. Your hair looks great. Happy New Year. Woke up today at 9 am and did next to nothing until noon. Did I mention I bought a digital camera? I messed around with that until about 3pm until I got hungry and raided the refrigerator. I've been thinking a lot about New Years resolutions and besides the obvious usual physical fitness resolutions, I've decided I need to get back to my old risk...

Hon, it's your body and you're very special. And I don't mean special as in that short bus that took kids to elementary school. I mean it in a good way.
Have a wonderful New Year!

Just got back yesterday from the holiday madness. I was so excited to see my bed last night. I have the worst time sleeping when I'm not at home. Once again my parents spent entirely too much money on me. I don't know why they feel compelled to spend so much...I know I shouldn't complain, but I just don't want them to feel obligated and...

hopefully i'll try and use some other strange words which you will enjoy...
getting exciting over here - the SGUK group has gone mad again arranging the NYE night out....I'm a bit scared to be honest...

I feel the same way about the " a little too much fun " syndrome , boy I am glad the holidays are over too . I am wore out ! Anyhow glad to be of any help . hang in there
thanks for the little note about my clipboard solicitor. i agree that it's one of those places i shouldn't end up thinking "what if?" i just like to check myself once in a while--it never hurts ME when i read too much into something innocent, but it can leave the woman kind of uncomfortable.
if it turns into a "good story," you'll have been there at the very inception! if you want to read a really cool story along those lines, take a look at old journal entry of mine.
