HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACQUI!!!

+++

a hero of mine:

http://www.chezpanisse.com/alice.html

a documentary about her on pbs was a "lightbulb moment" for me in regards to food when i saw it for the 1st time a few years ago. it was just on again, so i reremembered her name :)

6:22pm

i'm glad i got outside and took the dogs with me.
everything is unfrozen now so there was SO much for them to smell :)
it's really difficult walking with them because they are run every which way and get caught in my legs and their legs and so we have to stop every 1/2 block to untangle ourselves to continue on.
and then at every single cross walk there would be a cop car so i would actually have to wait for the green light to walk. so annoying.
i think i am definitely turning into "the crazy lady and her crazy dogs".
i always thought i would be the crazy cat lady. but no, it's dogs.
maybe later on in life i will be the crazy cat lady.
when we got home i noticed that my entire floor smells like the soup i made, which smells delicious. i hope everyone else thinks so , too! eep.
it's funny how in every building i have lived each floor has it's own distinct smell and "vibe" to it.
i once took a walk on every floor on this building down every corridor and noticed how the energy "feeling" of each floor was different and that even down certain corridors or in front of certain doors there would be and every other nuance of different feeling.
i think this "intuneness" to that sort of thing will be really beneficial for me as i get further into feng shui.

it was really windy out and my hair is now long enough that it will get blown into my mouth. and so that is a new thing to have to deal with.

there is supposed t be rain or thunderstorms coming now. maybe tonight and into the next few days. it's 66 degrees out now and it felt utterly unreal. even the wind was warm.
i felt like i was on the holodeck.
i always feel that way when i am outside, that i am in some huge virtual reality scene and sometimes it takes me awhile to adjust and connect to it.

but at the same time my distance from it enables me to kind of experience everything from a new perspcetive.
lke i am an alien landing on earth.
or a blind mole coming up from underground.

hmmm.

at 7pm i'm going to watch AI.
and then at 8pm i go t jason's to watch this new weird reality tv show called "invasian iowa"
where william shatner goes to this town in iowa on the pretense of making a movie there.
but the movie is entirely fake and all it is all just a big joke on this entire town of iowa :)
and that sounds like jolly good fun :)

and then it's the american version of the office which just started.
it is weird watching it after watching the entire british version of it. and i wish people could see the british one 1st.
but it's hard to let go of the british version because it was SO perfect as it was that i cannot help but be constantly comparing the american version to it. the american version is really well cast. and they are doing a very good job!
but nothing can every replace the british version which is utterly perfect.

5:20pm

i went down to the gym with jason, but there was already 2 people on the machines and so there was a person between jason and i so we wouldn't have been able to talk. plus it was hot in there and seemed completely ridiculous to walk on a treadmill in a hot sweaty room with flourescent lights when i could go outside and walk by the river on a very nice day. i would have stayed if i could have talked to jason and spent time with him. but no way to go in that room on a nice day when i can walk outside. so i just stopped the treadmill after 30 seconds and told him i'm going outside. and so that is what i'm going to do now.

3:23pm

making a soup.
1 sweet potato, 2 small apples, 2 onions, bunch of hamburger, a bunch of fresh cloves of garlic,
a tiny bit of tomato sauce, cumin, onion salt, pepper.
later i will add sugar snap peas.
i hope that will all taste good toegther. i have no idea!
i think it will be fine.

did a load of dishes, now going to do some laundry.
i sould go outside bt it's part 2 of the presley interview on oprah and even pricilla will be on with her daughter.
and it looks to be darn good, so me being ever interested in people's lives, must watch.

i see a lot of black helicopters out today.
i wonder what that is about.

i also heard bagpipes this afternoon.

i'm off to the thing room to fold clothes and put those away and address boxes to people so i can get some of those out in the mail tomorrow.

sebastian needs a haircut in a major way. he is looking like rastafarian.

i discovered a lj of a girl who was ANTM, elyse.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/elysesewell

i'm going to sit down and read the whole thing soon.
she's only had it up for a few months and she speaks really candidly about the modelling world.
a very interesting read so far.

 

 

2:15pm

frying some tilapia in butter.
all windows open and there is quite a wind running through my house!

1:07pm

64 degrees and really windy. makes me want to open all my windows and let it all rush inside.
i think will. it feels fitting. new air washing things away.
i woke up feeling pretty healthy and i thought all was well but then i ended up in the bathrooom screaming in pain for 1/2 an hour with my intestines feeeling like they were being ripped out of me. but now that seems to have passed and i am fine again. how odd.

listening to:

http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/thecurrent/

and drinking coke with lime.

i'm excited, an ana2 member bought me bill nelson's book "diary of a hyperdreamer" in exchange for ana2:

i wish i could find an email for him on his site. he writes in his diary of fans emailing him but what it is his email? argh.

Common-sense answers
Weak, transient effect: This morning you will keep your emotions under control, not in a repressive, negative manner, but in a way that enables you to take a more sober and realistic view of life. You are able to put up with considerable adversity and strain during this time because it gives you patience and reserve strength. While you are not inclined to talk about your feelings to just anyone, you do not evade them in yourself. You may very well go off by yourself at this time to think about and evaluate your development. If you have a problem, seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect, who can offer emotional support and suggest practical and immediate answers. You need common-sense answers now that can be applied directly.
