Positron. 2008-03-07 14:07:59 When I was a sophomore in college, my brilliant unstoppable roommate (who I believe is now a doctor in San Francisco) and I always sat on our balcony proclaiming with glum satisfaction that we’d never live past age 29.
Here’s the thing though: most people are secretly in love with life, and that includes me. However, [...]
TILT: Things I Love Thursday. 2008-03-06 10:47:43 I’m taking up Gala Darling’s challenge to compile a weekly list of things that make me happy or that I’m obsessed with at the moment, so here goes:
* First and foremost, Gala Darling’s site! Gala is whimsical, aesthetically-gifted, and most important of all, entirely herself. This is one lady who marches to the beat of [...] Read more:Thursday

Play It Young. 2008-03-04 11:39:55 Next Friday afternoon I’m taking a mini road trip down to visit one of my best girlfriends of all time, M500. I haven’t seen her in a year and a half, which means we haven’t trolloped around her apartment for a year and a half drinking wine out of glasses the size of my head [...]
Overthunk. 2008-03-03 12:32:17 How do us navel-gazers ever get anything done? If I’d thought too hard, I wouldn’t have lived in New York City. Or ran a marathon. Or met up with my internet crush, MC, in real life.
I’ve gazed at my navel, I’ve peered into my soul, I’ve searched the universe of my mind, and I’ve come [...]
When the Schnecken Beckons (for several weeks in a row). 2008-03-02 10:25:28 I started writing this as an advice-seeking email to Pasta Queen, but it become all lengthy and rambling, so I figured it was perfect for a blog post ;). Bwah. Also, despite the fact that I’ve taken no actions whatsoever to merit it, I seem to have lost a little weight this week. But it’s [...] Read more:several
What’s It Worth to You? 2008-02-27 15:03:46 How much is reaching your goal worth to you?
I’m not being figurative here. Seriously, is your well-being worth $500 to you? $5000? More? We tend to shy away from putting a dollar amount on a dream, but what if you had to?
How much have you already spent chasing a goal weight, or abstinence from smoking, [...] Read more:Worth
Conjunction Junction. 2008-02-26 15:04:35 Hi comrades.
I think I’m coming down with conjunctivitis. That’s pink eye. Ow. And it doesn’t match any of my outfits.
Also: I’m at home this afternoon keeping an eye on the plumber, because, yes, the toilet in our new place is BROKE. There’s only one, and it’s BROKE. Today I had to go to the Jack-in-the-Box [...] Read more:Junction
Overripe. 2008-02-25 18:40:16 Depression is a hot February evening, a fruit overripe in the wrong season. You bite into sweet-smelling flesh only to sink your teeth into sickening decay.
Individualiste. 2008-02-22 10:10:58 We’re finally moving—for real!—into the new rental duplex this weekend. It was supposed to happen last weekend, but the weather was horrible, so we delayed. MC’s dad and brother are helping us out, so hopefully we’ll get all of our furniture trucked over to the new place sans incident tomorrow. I’m excited! I love moving [...]
Pride or Class? 2008-02-21 11:44:33 Is talking about weight loss tacky?
I’m not referring to blogging. But do you talk about diets or trade workout tips on the job, for instance? Or perhaps among a group of friends when you’re all out to eat? Or have you ever been conned into a “lite” conversation after losing a lot of weight when [...] Read more:Pride
Beware the Makeoverer. 2008-03-12 09:40:15 File this one under “Things I Have Learned at the Makeup Counter”:
Never, ever, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, allow someone to do your makeup if you don’t like how their own makeup looks. Not even if they work at your favorite cosmetics counter! Also, don’t get your makeup done by a stranger an hour before a big [...] Read more:Beware
The Plague. 2008-03-10 11:14:29 I have it.
Har. Well, I have something, and I’ve had it all weekend. So I bit the bullet and went to the doctor this morning because I REFUSE TO BE SICK AND MISS MY UPCOMING SUPER-AWESOME FUN WEEKEND IN HOUSTON!!!! Dr. L prescribed me antibiotics and codeine cough syrup, and I hope to be back [...]
Squeeee-kend! 2008-03-14 11:23:22 Today is the day! I’m finally driving down to Houston this afternoon for my squeeee-kend with M500 (also featuring B and Sir H). YAY!! I’m unabashedly excited. I have packed a buttload of makeup and my black-and-white ensemble for this evening. Amongst other things.
On a whim (and a positive mention by Posh) I am stopping [...]
Things I Love Thursday. 2008-03-13 07:23:52 It’s Things I Love Thursday
again and these are the things that make me glow right now:
* Above all, special props go out to MC this Thursday because as of tomorrow we will officially have been together for a year! We had our very first date on March 14, 2007, and tonight MC and I [...] Read more:Love Thursday
What’s Failure, Anyway? 2008-03-17 12:36:40 This real heart of this post is an email from MC. To give you a little background on my smart, steady, lovable boyfriend: MC has always been wonderful. I’m sure of it. However, he wasn’t always the stable, emotionally in-touch guy I have always known him as. . . . Part of MC’s identity includes [...] Read more:Anyway
Post-Weekend Malaise. 2008-03-17 10:08:48 In an effort to battle my post-weekend malaise, I’m posting a picture of my eye makeup from Friday:
Angela at the Macy’s Benefit counter in Barton Creek Mall did it, and I highly recommend her services—plus, she’s a total doll. On my eyelid you see a blend of pink and dark-gray-shimmer cream eyeshadow, and a thick [...] Read more:Weekend
Back in the Ring? 2008-03-19 09:34:34 [Source: Vintage WW recipes on Candy Boots]
Writing about weight loss is something I find quite tiresome. Entries become carbon copies with slight variations. Sometimes I even get secretly peeved for receiving praise for losing weight. I’m a perverse creature. Still . . . I think, Praise me if I finally manage to write a decent [...]
The Game of Life. 2008-03-18 14:09:12 Most of my childhood was spent in the 80s, when I got to play awesome, rewarding games like Life. The point of the game was to collect little baby blue and pink pegs and make some fake money so someday you could retire in a plastic mansion. The pegs were your husband and children.
YAWN. Still, [...]
My Frozen Screwdriver WW “Lifestyle” 2008-03-21 11:50:46 One of the many blog feeds I subscribe to is CalorieLab, and a recent CL post included the following snippet:

Message in a Bottle. 2008-03-20 15:26:49 [Art: *kmye-chan]
I’m lazily seeking out ways to balance out my Pitta nature a little bit (no, I’m not a hippie; yes, I’m familiar with Ayurveda; so sue me).
I tend to be impatient and to jump on people a bit when they don’t “get it.” I get pink in the face when I’m experiencing any kind [...] Read more:Message
Things I Love Thursday 2008-03-20 06:32:39 Where to start this Thursday
?
How about here:
Heh. It’s like a way more awesome version of those dioramas I had to make back in third grade.
* Diets That Time Forgot. It’s a British Channel 4 program that puts nine people on diets that were popular in the Edwardian, Victorian, and Flapper eras. I can’t stop looking [...] Read more:Love Thursday

Rock at the Bottom. 2008-03-24 08:51:12 First off, a few quotes from George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London.
Regarding the “hotel” where he briefly had a room in the bowels of Paris:
There were eccentric characters in the hotel. The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people—people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and given up [...] Read more:Bottom
Things I Love (Friday Edition). 2008-03-28 10:35:21 So yesterday I just. Couldn’t. Do. It.
But today, despite the chronic cough and lack of sleep, I am going to do the Friday
version of Things I Love Thursday. Because it’s never to late to be Thursday, or something.
A couple short but very important things I love:
* Mi madre—it was her birthday this week! My [...] Read more:Edition
Things I (Wish I) Love(d) Thursday. 2008-03-27 11:17:37 I hate to skip Things I Love Thursday

I Hate Weight Watchers: In Search of Fabulous. 2008-04-01 12:26:15 I have been diligently googling for a gay WeightWatchers
meeting in this supposedly liberal town, to no effect. I actually miss Chelsea at times like this.
Where are all the body-dysmorphic homosexuals? I am so sick of twittering women in various stages of fertility, and I return only reluctantly to the fold this weekend, in [...] Read more:Search
Madame Librarian. 2008-04-01 09:53:46 Yes, that is a Music Man reference. No, I don’t want to talk about it.
For the last little while, I have been entertaining the idea of becoming a librarian. That is, obtaining a Master’s in that field and then becoming a librarian.
Is that insane? Is the position of Librarian an increasingly archaic one? Aren’t libraries [...] Read more:Madame
