junk in the trunk..

Friday, December 30th, 2005

So I realized I am insanely behind in concert reviews, recaps, etc. So, I am just going to do a month-by-month recap of my year. Depending on how long the recaps are, I may split them up.
So here we go!
January Not too eventful. Found out my ex from eight (well, nine, now) years ago wrote me a letter. New Year’s. Was actually hitting the gym pretty hard. And, I got a major haircut and color…short and scarlet and black. That right there was the highlight of the month for me. We also got a crapload of Fruniture from IKEA.
February Super cool Valentine’s Day. Got roses, and an amazing dinner at Forepaugh’s. Still working out, though i stepped it up a notch. Started to assemble some furniture…though not much yet. Get rushed to the emergency room for excruciating stomach pains, and they can find nothing wrong, so I miss several days of work recuperating, and taking vicodin.
March G lost his job. We go to the big Rubber Ball at Ground Zero, which was such an insane blast. My friend Leanna and I rocked out all night long, drinking and dancing until the wee hours. We traveled out to see my family. While there, I had to go bra shopping, since none of mine were fitting. I thought I would have to go up a cup size. HA! I walked out of the store with a 34F. I nearly cried. Bras are not cute in that size. Granted, I looked much better in one that actually fit, but I was bummed. Fortunately, my breasts flucuate in size enough that I don’t have to wear it too often. But still, it depresses me to pull it out. I think G didn’t mind, though.
April We come back from vacation. G and I discover Movieoke. We have gone pretty much every Sunday ever since. G goes into the hospital. He had a stomach bug, which turned into DKA . SO, he was going to have to stay a couple of days. Then, it was discovered that from vomitting so much, he tore a hole in his esophagus. So, he wound up in ICU instead. He had surgeons look at him, infectious disease people, it was scary. I spent the week sleeping at the hospital when not working. We had to cancel our trip to California to go to the Coachella Music Festival. On the bright side, the endocrinologist that looked at G said he would be an excellent candidate for an insulin pump.
May Since we weren’t in Cali, we went to the Goth Prom. so much fun, except G and I were feeling crappy. Next year we will rock the house, though. Through April and May, we actually build a lot of our furniture, and install half of our laminate floor. Starting to feel like grown-ups. Sort-of.
All right, that seems long enough. and I know I have some coming that are even longer, the more I play catch up. So, that will be another post for another day.

procrastinate? not me…

Friday, December 30th, 2005

So, I should be folding some laundry, working out, perhaps writing a real blog entry or two, and doing some bra shopping. Instead, I shall do this girly meme that I stumbled upon. Feel free to nap through it if you like.
01. Do you have on a lot of make-up?
Not at the moment. For work or sleep I don’t wear any. However, if I’m going out, I glam it up.
02. How much do you put on?
for going out…foundation, eyeshadow (usually 2 colors), eyeliner, mascara, sometimes lipstick. If I’m feeling especially saucy or glam, I add glitter and rhinestones around my eyes.
03. How long does it take you to get ready?
For work: if I don’t have to do my hair, about 20 minutes (including morning shower) To go out, it’s about half-an-hour once I choose clothes. If I need to style my hair, add another 10 or 15 minutes in there.
04. Do you put on a lot of lipgloss?
Lipbalm…does that count? Sometimes I like a little gloss..
05. Does your lipgloss smell good?
the lipbalm does, the gloss does not.
06. Do you carry a purse?
Yes.
07. What color is it?
Currently red.
09. Do you have a Coach bag?
Hahahaha…that’s funny.
10. Do you have a Louis Vuttion?
see above. I think that it’s insane to spend that much on a purse. Especially since i like to change them out every so often.
11. How many purses do you have?
I don’t feel like counting them…but it’s a lot.
12. Do you like to wear nailpolish?
Sometimes, but because of work, the polish chips fast 🙁
13. How often do you get your nails done?
rarely. I prefer to spend my money on other stuff…
14. Do you like manicures?
Yes.
15. What about pedicures?
sure…
16. Do you have a usual nail salon you go to?
I have a friend who works in a day spa, and I usually go to here, because she’s good, and doesn’t do anything shady.
17. Where do you get your hair cut?
The Hair Police in Mpls, by Satya (she rocks hardcore…I highly recommend her!)
18. Do you dye your hair?
Yes…
19. Do you straighten your hair?
Hahahaha…that’s funny…my hair is so straight it won’t hold a perm.
20. Do you have lots of pairs of shoes?
No…of course not…okay, you beat it out of me…I have some, but not enough. I haven’t counted them recently.
21. What are your favorite shoes?
Do I have to pick just one pair???? If I do, it would be my Franco Sarto strappy boots (I have three pairs of them, two patent, one matte)
23. Do you wear heels everywhere?
Not at my full time job (8 hours on concrete…eek!), but just about everywhere else…including my part time job.
24. Can you walk in heels and not fall over?
Yes.
25. Where do you buy your clothes?
Wherever I see something I like. Goodwill, HotTopic, JC Penney’s, Frederick’s, Nordstrom’s rack, Ebay…
26. Do you go shopping every week?
Not for clothes.
27. What’s your favorite store?
HotTopic and Frederick’s of Hollywood. Though, I love perusing Lip Service on line and drooling…
28. How much do you usually spend?
IT depends on what I’m shopping for and if there’s a sale.
29. Have you ever been in Dior?
Nope.
30. Do you follow fashion trends?
Not so much. I wear what looks good on me, and flatters my figure. Sometimes, I’m the one setting the trends…
31. Do you have a pair of huge sunglasses?
Hell no, I think they are ridiculous!
35. How many pairs of earrings do you have?
Not really gonna count them, but enough.
36. Do you wear hoop earrings?
I have a few pairs of little ones that I wear in my upper holes..
37. Do you have a lot of skirts?
I don’t know about a lot, but several.
39. Do you get your eye brows done?
Not for a long time. I just do them myself. Speaking of which, I am due to do some grooming (add it to the list)
40. Can you apply mascara without opening your mouth?
Yes.
41. Do you wear a lot of eyeliner?
Sometimes when I go out.
42. Do you do pilates or yoga?
both, at home.
43. Do you have a lot of magazines?
Not a lot, but I get Real Simple, Martha Stewart Living, and Vogue (the last was a gift, which I appreciate).

Daily Squirrel

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

I apologize for missing yesterday. We were having some friends over, and I was in a cleaning frenzy. Thus, The Daily Squirrel had to take a nap.
So, for today, I give you a crazy squirrel story as taken from the BBC Europe website. (Special thanks to Benq, for bringing this story to my attention)
Russian squirrel pack ‘kills dog’
Local people suggest hunger is driving squirrels to extremes
Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park, local media report.
Passers-by were too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute.
They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh.
A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek other food sources, although scientists are sceptical.
The attack was reported in parkland in the centre of Lazo, a village in the Maritime Territory, and was witnessed by three local people.
A “big” stray dog was nosing about the trees and barking at squirrels hiding in branches overhead when a number of them suddenly descended and attacked, reports say.
“They literally gutted the dog,” local journalist Anastasia Trubitsina told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
“When they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them.”
Mikhail Tiyunov, a scientist in the region, said it was the first he had ever heard of such an attack.
While squirrels without sources of protein might attack birds’ nests, he said, the idea of them chewing a dog to death was “absurd”.
“If it really happened, things must be pretty bad in our forests,” he added.
Komosmolskaya Pravda notes that in a previous incident this autumn chipmunks terrorised cats in a part of the territory.
A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there had been “no pine cones at all” in the local forests this year.
“The little beasts are agitated because they have nothing to eat,” he added

for the second day in a row…
