Had Mom take me to campus to avoid having to park without a parking pass. Thanks Ma!
Campus bookstore charged $161 for the book. Vs amazon's $114.07 and that was brand new. Sadly the edition I was ordered to get only came out in feb-mar 2011 so the used ones were actually similar priced...one USED copy was even listed at 165. Wtf? That poor shmuck must have bought it on campus.
Good news is amazon has a Student program where textbooks get free 2 day shipping. But it required getting into my school email inbox to verify being a student.
Getting into my school-run email = half an hour of swearing and fighting a shitty microsoft setup.
Seriously I run microsoft windows at home so you'd think i'd know my way around right?
WRONG.
Outlook + school system = endless shit.
But I did manage it and my book should be here Saturday. Yay!
I have started thinking about setting up a youtube acct. Anyone else have one? Are they free?
I mean I would like to put my little arrangements out there, and i'd really like Samantha to hear what I'm trying to do with her songs that I love. I have an equipment problem tho....I need a mic, but I know where to get one (probably thinkgeek cuz they have star trek stuff heeee)
But what about recording software? I don't think "sound recorder" will cut it. And what about video editing? Tho to be honest I'll probably just want a still image or series of images with the song, probably a pic of my pretty instrument ^_^
I already know what I want as my userpic...a pic of the crown-wearing cat from Ronson' ooooold video Pull My Hair Out. Just no idea how to get it. I think I have a greenscreen pic of Sam holding the cat-puppet so I could use that too.
Btw if you wanna see something weird, look up her old video. I still can't figure out if the proper response is secondhand embarassment or if she was taking the piss out of something. There's a butch and femme version of Samantha, I know "pussy" is used to refer to vaginas, and things like pogo sticks and a big billboard of a hot dog (weiner?) And yea.... I still puzzle over it sometimes.
Other times I refer to it as Lisa Frank on vitamins*
Hi Mich ^_^

On break at work. Phone browser crashed a few times grrrr.
Filming yesterday went well I guess. I can't play Pedestals yet but I pulled out a short old piece that was sufficiently creepy and video guy liked it. After I was filmed the still photographer had her turn. Turns out she used to play violin back in the day and she could tell how nervous I was during filming. Since it no longer mattered what I played I just screwed around while she took her shots. I played the Hidden Palace theme from Sonic 2 (as in old Genesis..a deleted level but. The song was still in the sound test)
I also have a few measures of Linken Park's Breaking the Habit figured out and they all laughed once they recognized it. That was cool.
I am still working on Ronson's songs, once I'm at dad's I'll have a piano that is accessible instead of lost behind stuff from uncle slowly moving out. And my cheapie electric keyboard is a kiddie toy that can't play chords. So yea.
Checked out my online class that started last night. The one textbook is 114 dollars on amazon. How much you wanna bet it's even more $$ at school bookstore? Grrrr. One fucking boook...just cuz it's the newest edition that came out in feb this year or something. Evil...I swear a new edition comes out every year. What's the difference anyway?
What a racket.

When the answers are questions, and the questions unanswered......how do we explain what we don't understand? Who do we ask why?
From Pedestals, by Samantha Ronson.
I love that song. Some of her words aren't quite clear to me, both because it's a fan-ripped from a fan site, and she does sometimes have a slight accent ^_^
Tomorrow at some point I'm supposed to be in a small film. A promo video for a little orchestra R has asked me to help with. We perform in masks....so peeps who are just starting won't be so nervous. I know i'd play more often if I didn't have too look the audience in the eye.
Anyway for the vid I wanted to arrange Pedestals into a simple orchestra piece. And I'm terrified.
I feel like if I can't make it perfect then I shouldn't do it at all. What if she sees it? I don't want her to be hurt or angry or disgusted. I even tried to get her attention on twitter, asked how she'd feel if a fan covered a song of hers. No response. Not sure what that means. She linked a fan's copy of her old Pull My Hair Out video. I guess that's positive?
Cuz if she likes it she won't try to get it taken down.
Also I'm her fan and I want to see her happy.
Tho Mich can also help with my nervous feelings a bit...I mean, musicians cover each other's songs a lot right? It's not illegal, is it? I'm openly admitting that I'm covering/arranging her song into a string duet or something like that. I was inspired by a group named Vitamin String Quartet (or close to that) and they cover/arrange other peeps' songs all the time. They seem ok.
I dunno... I'm not trained for this. I got the melody written down in a format I understand but the rest of the world would get confused cuz the rhythyms aren't written or the rests or anything. It's very rough draft and I'm supposed to film tomorrow. And still trying to come up with harmonies (actually I'm trying to remember harmonies long enough to write them down in my strange shorthand)
Doesn't help that earlier at work this fat blonde bitch came in and the store was completely redone and I saw her and asked if she needed help finding stuff and it was only the 2nd time I talked to her and she was all....not unless you know what I'm gonna buy and my friend works at another store blah blah "go find someone else to follow and harass"
Just....really? Just doing my job, fatass.
I wanted to punch her sneering face in so badly.
Went in the back and did pushups til my face got red.
Maybe she was just jealous because I'm less than half her size. She was jello-plopping around and I clearly had more hair and healthier hair.
I dunno.....it made me mad and hurt and now I'm doubting my abilities.
Which is probably what the bitch was aimming for...to bring me down to her level in the trash can.
I need to take another stab at those harmonies and try to get my viola to stay in tune. Poor baby, been so long since I played her she's lost tension in the D and G pegs. A slipps a lot too. Seems C is the only string behaving! Also the bridge is a bit curved across the top. It's not bending or buckling but it needs adjusting and adjusting the bridge has always made me soooooooo nervous.
Later.....
ETA........
Dearest Samantha Ronson,
I still adore your songs and I do intend to finish this arrangement of Pedestals.
Unfortunately it has been so many years since I picked my viola up that I absolutely suck moneky balls and I cannt yet play your songs in a way that makes them recognizable.
I will pencil in more practice time.
A lot more.
Yours ever,
Honor Regzig

Ok.... well it was only by one point....but I did pass. Barely, but I passed. I got my license. And to be honest I was so damn nervous during that test that I drove the worst I've driven since I was 16. Wow. I'm usually a much better driver. So yea.....
I want a break from driving tho. Mom wants to go to Grandpa's and I'm willing but these nursing home things get boring fast. If I drive myself I can leave when I want. But I want a break from driving. I'm exhausted. Barely slept 3 hours last night. Was shaking nervous thru the test. Barely passed. I just want a break. A nice long nap. And Mom's watching one of her scary murder-rapist crime dramas. Those things give me nightmares. I'm gonna go upstairs.
Ok....maybe try another H2O2 flush...tho dunno if it can really be called a flush since I'm just putting a few drops in, letting it bubble for about a minute then dumping it out.
I want zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bad me still being up. I work today (4am where I am) and driver test fri!
R took me driving, went to walmart yet again and I bought clothes, a lovely buttonup pink shirt that reminded me of one i'd seen on Samantha Ronson in an old pic... and I bought my first tie.
I mean I have other ties but those ones were stolen from my bro or grandpa xD
This one I bought. Pretty ivory and looks soooooo good against the pink shirt.
Now I just need some pretty gray slacks and a coat!
K this next part is kinda gross...
For like the past 2 weeks I've had muffled hearing in my right ear. I mean without any other symptoms. Sometimes when I get a sore throat my right ear goes cottony muffled but now the sore throat is gone and it's like I have an ear plug permanently installed. I can hear but it's all muffled.
A few years ago Mom had my ears looked at by the doc for this same problem, and the doc decided to have the poor nurse flush out both my ears. It took her forever. Soon I held the bucket under my ears cuz she needed both hands to work the syringe. She remarked how hard the wax was.
When it was over she'd gotten inch-long wax plugs out of my ears. Out of each ear mind you.
I could hear painfully well for several days.
R is worried that the problem might be in eustachian tube, esp since I seen to constantly get cols and/or allergies.
I guess either is possible.
Here's the weird thing..... my right ear isn't just muffled. It's muffled because it's like a seashell is always by that ear. I can hear a gentle roaring like a river. A pulsing river. I'm hearing my pulse. And bloodflow. Weird. Everything I hear has to come thru that. It's ignorable most the time but I notice it when it's quiet.
Ok just did a hydrogen peroxide flush like dad always did when we were kids (he also has the wax problem) I'll probably have to do several flushes over a few days. Cuz of how long it's been. Good news is there is no pain. Online forums say putting H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) in an infected ear tends to cause pain. So yay! And the H2O2 that drained out definitely had wax...it was all yellow and some brown bits ewwwwwww.
But H2O2 does irritate the bare skin of my external ear and make it itch a bit so I only flushed twice.
Do again tomorrow.
I try to sleep now.

Work work work! But more free time days are coming...I hope. Weds meeting w a video person cuz I'm involved in one of R's projects... and I do want this project to get off the ground but I wonder if he's doing it the right way? Well if his way falls thru we try it my way.
What bugs is that last time we met photographer and it was disaster she ate up all our time cuz she wanted to eat first even tho that's not what the appointment was for. But what can u do since she was a volunteer?
Anywa I'm just annoyed at lack of freetime. Which may be why what little freetime I do have is spent stuffing my face and reading gossip websites. Sigh....bad me.
Also... I have the driver's test scheduled for the 24th at 9am and I am fucking terrified.
Which definitely doesn't help the binging, mostly on clearanced chocolate. I've also bought bags of those TGIFriday potato skin chips twice in a row, cheddar and bacon flavor. And ate the whole damn bag in one sitting both times.
Did I mention I'm freaking out?
Oh and I just remembered now Mich said more Fairy Queen is up.
Should go lose myself in her kickass fiction. I also neeeeed to reread Underwood cuz I totally forgot what Jackfairy did to get punished.
Plus you always notice new things the next time around!
Oh! I also ran into a video about Mark Ronson's work and the video was made by 2 kickass directors and they mde it as a form of homage to Legend of Zelda. Mostly the original 8bit and the SNES Link to the Past games. I need to get that link up at some point. It made me grin and giggle.
Ok...go to bed Honor!

Damn Eggo cereal.
Damn driving lessons.
Damn uberyummy Frisco Melts at Steak n Shake during a driving break.
Fuck and fuck and more fuck.
Actually some REAL fucking would be nice right now. It counts as cardio. Whaaat? *innocent look*
AHEM!!!!
MOVING ON!
Ok I ate way too much today and I'm fighting the urge to go stuff my face with what's left of the first Eggo cereal box. This is hard.
I got a protein shake chilling in the fridge, waiting for the powder to dissolve, made with a dissolved cupcake fizzy tab. I finished up the first big jar of Body Fortress and I got one more jar before I gotta get more.
Got several jars of Aria left tho. Which is good cuz unless it's on a hell of a sale I ain't getting more. It's nice mixed in tho. i dunno... this one jar lasted longer than I thought since I mix it with the Body Fortress. Maybe i could get more... once these 3 jars are gone.
I also made a cartoon to keep my hands busy and away from noms.
introducing:
If She Weren't A DJ:
The *Imaginary* Adventures of Samantha Ronson
this cartoon inspired by the post at notalwaysright.com/north-of-the-moral-border/4097
Let's try my hand at linking, actually. <a href="http://notalwaysright.com/north-of-the-moral-border/4097">North of the Moral Border</a>
And since when on computer I figured out how to post pics already uploaded...
Gonna throw this one up again just for the amusement factor. Like those teeny tiny fists are even remotely intimidating heee so cute! And the horn headband (no connection to the word "horny" thank YOU)
And her favorite t-shirt made an appearance here.
Aaaaaa what else to say. Teeth brushed now, with a minty toothpaste that will make food taste terrible.
Boss screwed up again.. tomorrow at work is supposed to be another one of those "saturdate" things and i'm scheduled to come in at noon ooooops. Someone goofed. Should probably get up early enough to go in at 10, sucks to be there eariler but getting off eariler is very nice. Blah.
The new girl is already at 40 hours, she transferred in from another store, from the photo counter. It's possible she's the new "sba" and I'm trying to be mad about it... but... i don't want to be there full time. i know i need money and more work = more money but well.... uhh...
Sigh.
When i asked if she had the position Boss said he actually wasn't planning on filling that position. Maybe he just said that to me. Who knows? He could be lying. I should be mad.
it's bad that i don't wnt to work full time there. But hopefully it's also understandable.
And i ain't telling anyone but you.
Ok, bed time. More time asleep= less time to stuff face oink oink.
Damn driving lessons.

Work fucking SUCKS right now. AFter that 6 day stretch the big store remodel started and I got called in a few extra days. Worked today too. Guess who gets to singlehandedly do ALL the clearance merchandise?
At least I get first pic of the clearance food.
Wait.. that's not really a Good.
Lol I got 3 boxes of Eggo cereal.. yup Eggo makes a cereal... it's fucking yummy. Made by Kelloggs. Also got Kelloggs Smorz cereal.. meh it's ok.. think Cocoa Puffs with lil marshmallows.
But omg the Eggo cereal. And I know where to find more too.
Also got myself hair toys. Headbands and clippies and pins and stretchy bands and a weird set of sponge curlers and even a Topsy Turvey tomato planter (wanted one for soooo long!)
Mich is posting Fairy Queen!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY and i can get her fiction site on my phone cuz that site is nice and simple and loads clean YAYAYAYAYAYAY.
Oh... saw this while lurking ... somewhere....
Pic source: http://forums.whyweprotest.net/threads/the-dc-org-welcomes-sparrow-back.89782/
Yes.. I lurk on the meeting boards of Anonymous. What of it? They're funny as hell and i think it's pretty damn cool what all they're doing now. I lurked back in the days of enturbulation.org and I still watch these crazy kids. They're now using their site to organize not only to take down the cult of scilons.. but also freedom of speech in Iran (and they do need help!) and wikileaks. Ofc the common thread here is freedom of information and freedom of speech. Which I'm totally in favor of!
Sadly I suck at internets and computers in general. So i cheer from the sidelines.
Me being into studying religion etc I still lurk mostly in the scilon forums but I pop in the others sometimes.
i should get an account.
What would i say?
I live in a dying rust belt town. no scilons here!
Still not posting my pic tho :p ya never know someday i might actually get to go to a protest woot!
Samantha Ronson is still being adorable. She's been hitting her studio alot lately, fine by me. I want an album! I want to walk my gay ass to an actual store and pick up a physical CD with the tracks burned into it and packaged with varius pics of Samantha scowling at the camera. Yes I prefer it when she smiles, but she doesn't do that often and I'll take what I can get ^_^
And then i want to take that CD to my computer geek buddies and ask them to rip it into plain mp3s that i can use anywhere.
I'm happy to pay an artist for a song. i just only want to buy that song once. I'm buying an album, not a live performance.
And I think I had that rant already.
Anyway.. she's been having some fun too and posted a youtube vid on her twitter.
Yup The Littlest Ronson now has a youtube account. Funny thing is, her account page claims she joined in 2006. And she's just now posting? WTF?
Anyway here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GTS51GznsE&feature=share
I'm always so shocked to see her forehead wrinkle when she raises her eyebrows looking up. I keep forgetting that she's like 34. Also the smoking will age you, just fyi.
She just seems so youthful, her voice is so soft and her laugh is light and girlie and she plays video games like a proper gamer addict. (totally gonna write her about Thinkgeek, see if it fecks her wallet too)
(also.. I love Mich's unique vocabulary.. totally stealing it!)
and just for shits and giggles, her account mainpage: http://www.youtube.com/user/lilrednyc9
I do wish she'd quit the damn cigarettes. Me being the daughter of choir teachers maybe I'm just more sensitive to it but I can HEAR the smoking damage and it's frustrating because I can also hear how clear and strong and GOOD her voice would be if she'd only take care of herself! This is her voice, peeps. No autotune here. She keeps in tune, she keeps in key, picking her notes out with just the guitar strumming chords. That does take talent. She's got a good ear. I wish she'd take better care of herself, especially that voice.
Side note.. cute how she tries to look into the camera so many times but it's sooo obvious she's more comfy looking down. Esp that quick second after touching her chest she glances over at her buddy with that omg-what-am-i-doing look. Also the clenched hands for most of it. Yea she hates cameras, it's adorable. Also there's one second where it looks like she's practicing the lip-synch thing like for a pro music video, and she missed her cue. (yes all the music videos are lip-synched.. even the kickass Lady Gaga needs to BREATHE when she's doing those dances! Leaves no room for singing!)
Actually it's possible this whole thing is lip-synched because I don't see a mic near enough to pick her up. But that is her voice.
I don't know much about guitars but he might be miming too, sometimes his movements aren't perfectly matched with the sound. i dunno.
love the username soo cute. and according to this she's still 33. Whatever.. somewhere in there.
Also.. Samantha wants viewers to know:
that video was directed by the awesome @JEFFREED1
and it's 4am where I am, too much damn sugar again. Bedtime.. after I listen to this one more time
(is there a Samantha Addicts Anonymous?)

Also got myself hair toys. Headbands and clippies and pins and stretchy bands and a weird set of sponge curlers and even a Topsy Turvey tomato planter (wanted one for soooo long!)
Mich is posting Fairy Queen!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY and i can get her fiction site on my phone cuz that site is nice and simple and loads clean YAYAYAYAYAYAY.
Oh... saw this while lurking ... somewhere....

Yes.. I lurk on the meeting boards of Anonymous. What of it? They're funny as hell and i think it's pretty damn cool what all they're doing now. I lurked back in the days of enturbulation.org and I still watch these crazy kids. They're now using their site to organize not only to take down the cult of scilons.. but also freedom of speech in Iran (and they do need help!) and wikileaks. Ofc the common thread here is freedom of information and freedom of speech. Which I'm totally in favor of!
Sadly I suck at internets and computers in general. So i cheer from the sidelines.
Me being into studying religion etc I still lurk mostly in the scilon forums but I pop in the others sometimes.
i should get an account.
What would i say?
I live in a dying rust belt town. no scilons here!
Still not posting my pic tho :p ya never know someday i might actually get to go to a protest woot!
Samantha Ronson is still being adorable. She's been hitting her studio alot lately, fine by me. I want an album! I want to walk my gay ass to an actual store and pick up a physical CD with the tracks burned into it and packaged with varius pics of Samantha scowling at the camera. Yes I prefer it when she smiles, but she doesn't do that often and I'll take what I can get ^_^
And then i want to take that CD to my computer geek buddies and ask them to rip it into plain mp3s that i can use anywhere.
I'm happy to pay an artist for a song. i just only want to buy that song once. I'm buying an album, not a live performance.
And I think I had that rant already.
Anyway.. she's been having some fun too and posted a youtube vid on her twitter.
Yup The Littlest Ronson now has a youtube account. Funny thing is, her account page claims she joined in 2006. And she's just now posting? WTF?
Anyway here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GTS51GznsE&feature=share
I'm always so shocked to see her forehead wrinkle when she raises her eyebrows looking up. I keep forgetting that she's like 34. Also the smoking will age you, just fyi.
She just seems so youthful, her voice is so soft and her laugh is light and girlie and she plays video games like a proper gamer addict. (totally gonna write her about Thinkgeek, see if it fecks her wallet too)
(also.. I love Mich's unique vocabulary.. totally stealing it!)
and just for shits and giggles, her account mainpage: http://www.youtube.com/user/lilrednyc9
I do wish she'd quit the damn cigarettes. Me being the daughter of choir teachers maybe I'm just more sensitive to it but I can HEAR the smoking damage and it's frustrating because I can also hear how clear and strong and GOOD her voice would be if she'd only take care of herself! This is her voice, peeps. No autotune here. She keeps in tune, she keeps in key, picking her notes out with just the guitar strumming chords. That does take talent. She's got a good ear. I wish she'd take better care of herself, especially that voice.
Side note.. cute how she tries to look into the camera so many times but it's sooo obvious she's more comfy looking down. Esp that quick second after touching her chest she glances over at her buddy with that omg-what-am-i-doing look. Also the clenched hands for most of it. Yea she hates cameras, it's adorable. Also there's one second where it looks like she's practicing the lip-synch thing like for a pro music video, and she missed her cue. (yes all the music videos are lip-synched.. even the kickass Lady Gaga needs to BREATHE when she's doing those dances! Leaves no room for singing!)
Actually it's possible this whole thing is lip-synched because I don't see a mic near enough to pick her up. But that is her voice.
I don't know much about guitars but he might be miming too, sometimes his movements aren't perfectly matched with the sound. i dunno.
love the username soo cute. and according to this she's still 33. Whatever.. somewhere in there.
Also.. Samantha wants viewers to know:
that video was directed by the awesome @JEFFREED1
and it's 4am where I am, too much damn sugar again. Bedtime.. after I listen to this one more time
(is there a Samantha Addicts Anonymous?)

Day 4 of the 6day stretch. The remodeling in the store has started. Today it's the painters. Paint smell is strong in most areas. New wallpaper is also going up. And the store is still open for business while all this is going on. The breakroom has been taken over by the painters. I'm taking my "break" sitting on a stool in the stockroom. No painting was done back here whew. No open paint cans either. The breakroom is gonna stink for awhile.
Store is a mess atm but the good news is we don't have to hang the damn sale tags tomorrow since the remodel crew comes back Monday and would take them all down anyway. This rocks because this Saturday is the "saturdate" event (I probably just gave away where I work)
And it's soooo hard to focus on selling whatever the featured item is when I have to get all the damn tags hung before I leave. Soooo YAY no ad tags. Maybe I'll actually sell something this time!
My feet started hurting as soon as I came to work today lol my body doesn't like being here any more than my mind does. But a job is a job and money is a necessity. Sigh. At least I get along w my coworkers.
And break is over.

Hello....on phone at work. It's the middle of day 3 on that 6 day stretch at work. My feet start hurting only 2hrs in now.
Yesterday was beastly hot. Like 90 or 98 degrees. Last night something blew and my whole neighborhood plus some parts of other neighborhoods and a few businesses had no power for 3 hours. Mom and I hung out at Taco Bell, and we ate and literally chilled out in their working air conditioning.
And that was after I ate a tv dinner at home before the lights went out.
Haven't had another crack at the evil shower door yet, too hot on my floor. Mom does have 2 tiny window units on the main floor but all they did was make it possible to breathe!
I mean they did make it more comfy, but it wasn't really cool, but the window a/c units did keep that awful humidity down inside :)
I amused myself by trying to find DIY instructions for taking off shower doors.. seems most peeps who want to remove shower doors have the sliding double doors on a shower/tub combo. Ugh. I did find mentions of pivot doors but no pictures. Well it's cooling down a bit finally, so perhaps I'll try again soon.
After my feet stop throbbing.
On car front, I have a happy car and R says I should be able to schedule a driving test online (since I'm working when they're open) but I can't find where to sign up. Dammit! And the clock is ticking. I'm sure I'm gonna fail at least once. This may be a good time to PANICCCCCC!
Just finished my joint drink mix for today. I have 6 of those awful diabetes vitamin mixes left.
Ugh...think I'll make my protein drink instead, even tho I don't have the waterbottle w the dissolved cupcake tablet in it.
Protein might help me not pig out when I get home. Cuz I've been stuffing my face after work the last few days.

The Evil Shower Vs Honor
Pigged out on Taco Bell today after my driving practice. We went to a parking lot and practiced maneuverability. Also had me drive to Walmart and I got a shower curtain and rod and rings. Now I just gotta get the fucking door off. It's harder than it sounds.
For starters, my bathroom is really fucking poorly designed. There's no room for much of anything to begin with.
So I started by going inside the shower, shutting the door, and trying to unscrew the frame.
Problem...
I can't reach an entire side cuz the door and its joint don't give room for a screwdriver. Whether open or shut, there's no room.
So next I tried to take the door off so I could reach the frame.
Well the top screw came off (and I think it went down the drain) but the door won't slide in its track: seems the bottom is also screwed. And I can't reach that screw.
I also can't put the top screw back in.
So I got a door that's all lopsided in its frame.
What's more, I've now noticed just how corroded the bottom of the doorframe is. The failed sealant they used when they first put the door in has turned into porous rock, allowing water thru but holding the door.
I've known that the door leaked for a long while cuz I could see where the rubber seal had broken and curled in. I didn't notice until now that under the doorframe was leaking too.
Fuck! Where's my chisel? Got my hammer!
THIS ISN'T OVER, YOU EVIL SHOWER!

Degree does not work for me xD
Seriously... Degree makes some nice-smelling stuff, but nothing stands up to my Armpits of Death.
Blahh...... peeps are home and i'm on the comp anyway. even hacker relative downstairs, who knows what he's doing.. he ain't moving out til July and he's sooo going when that day comes cuz turns out his old cat is sick! And the (soon to be) EX wife has not taken poor sick cat to vet or done anything! Waaaa!!
Cat adoration seems to be in our genes.
Anyway I was PIG today.. i need to make a cartoon piggy me to post on Piggy McBingey days.
Also.. can't i repost pics already on my blog without having to basically upload them twice? Why eat up my blogger-given storage with picture duplicates?
Pizza for dinner. And Crazy Bread omnomnomnom...
and it's majorly fucking HOT today!
Well I hope it'll be easier to not overeat in the next few days. Got a 6 days in a row working schedule coming up. Ungh.
Work is the best place to work my way through these:
THESE THINGS SUCK!!!
We clear?
This vitamin powder drink mix is seriously fucking GROSS. Yes I'm aware it's aimed at diabetics. And it is wonderfully sugar-free and low-carb as far as that goes.
BUT IT TASTES LIKE ASS!
Or what I imagine ass would taste like, since I'm not into that sort of thing.
The "natural citrus" taste is anything but. Citrus? Maybe if you were eating powdered fake lemon straight from the dollar store and mixed with bilge water.
It seriously made me gag.
Only way I can get it down is to keep it in the work fridge where it gets intensely cold and numbs my tongue so I don't taste it quite so much.
Too bad I still taste it even then. Blech!
And something in it actually dries my throat out or something cuz i get thirsty again even faster, even when inside air-conditioned work, and I sometimes get that hacking dry-throat cough.
So why am I still taking them to work?
Cuz I'm too damn poor to waste money. I did buy them on clearance, out of curiosity. But still. i HATE throwing away anything I can eat.
Made another Thinkgeek order today (remember what I said about wanting to reuse images? Where's my Thinkgeek addict pic? but anyway)
Next order I'm thinking of the Crest of Hyrule shirt. Yep I'm thinking of buying clothes off the internet.
They give you these nice nice sizing charts. Measure your chest and you got your size.
But smart people know you should also measure the *widest* part of your torso in order to avoid that stretched-tight-over-potbelly look.
I gotta drop some inches. Seriously.
Remember that old "Special K Challenge" thing? The idea is to drop an inch off your waist in two weeks by following a "diet plan" devised by (the marketing dept of) Kelloggs :)
They also have the Challenge on their cereal boxes, which is how I saw it and was reminded of it. Their "diet plan" basically has you replace EVERYTHING EXCEPT DINNER with various Special K products.
I have no intention of doing that. But after looking at the actual serving sizes of a few Special K foods, if you followed the rules and stuck to the tiny servings it would be fairly low cal. Keep your dinner small and you might even pull a sub 1000 day.
And it would be spread out between 3 meals and 2 snacks.
It got me thinking.. of copying the 3 meal 2 snack idea but doing it something like this:
B: air (I can't stand eating until a good 3 hours post-wakeup)
S1: Joint Drink (10 cal)
L: Protein shake (200cal)
S2 vitamin drink (15 cal)(or tea once the vit drinks are gone)
D: Protein shake (200 cal)
425 base? Nice. Especially with the epic 80 grams of protein (40g per shake)
I'd need my vitamins tho, so once those vitamin drink mixes are gone it's back to Centrum.
I prefer the Centrum anyway.
I do have one other vitamin drink. It's actually pretty good. Sadly I also got it on clearance and I have no idea if I will ever see this product again.
Sooooo.... yea the heat just killed my brain and I forgot what else i was gonna say. My day was a long day of lazing around cuz it's fucking hot and i basically ate nothing but the pizza and crazy bread and these uberyummy cookies called Biscoff
These things are SINFUL. OMG omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom
I ate two whole packages in the past 4 days. Augh!!!
Good news is Mom found the screwdriver that actually fits the screws on my shower door, so hopefully I'll get rid of that damn thing soon.
On the car front.. the cheapest battery in town, the $60, is at a guy who isn't open tomorrow (wish i had that option) and who closed at noon today. OOooops!
Guess i'll get my battery monday.
Damn I gotta get a move-on. The clock is ticking!!! Unless i wanna bike from dad's house to work (not a pleasant thought!) and then bike back from work to dad's house in the dark... eeeeeek yea gotta get the damn license.
Strangely, the driver's test now has me more scared than the idea of simply driving.
Tho I probably still won't drive very often. Gas prices. Ugh.
Oh well.. walk off the fat, Self!

Today is actually a fairly nice day. It's about 80 degrees and I should be upstairs working rather than on the computer but how often to I get a change to blog from the puter?.
Ok.. so it's June.. and I still got an uncle living in the basement. Be really nice to get that space back, I got heat-sensitive stuff that should be stored down there.
I also got a bunch of winter layers that I want out of my room for a bit so i can try to get said room in shape.
You know those sliding-tile puzzles where one tile is missing and you slide the others around to form the picture?
Yea... that's my room.
I'm trying to yank some tiles out, get working space... hard to do.
anyway...I did a few experiments for how to do my cartoon hair. What makes me sad is my Mom saw and thought they were of her :,(
Me haz a sad.
I thought the glasses were obvious (Mom doesn't wear glasses regularly, she just has reading glasses) and I thought it was obvious i was all belly.. and Mom carries quite a bit of her weight in her bra.
I realize me and Mom are both overweight, but she's a stockier build than me anyway so she carries her weight much better than i do.
Maybe that's why I did what I did with the last panel.. cuz it made me laugh. Kinda a low blow (no pun intended) but well.... some people just make it so easy to pick on them.
And I wanted to laugh.
i need to hugs my Mom now.
In other news, The Littlest Ronson did a Tumblr post yesterday that I couldn't help but notice (you know me!) Ronson often calls herself the airport gourmet since she spends so much time travelling and eating on the run. Anyway this is from http://sronson.tumblr.com/
But anyway... yea remember when i said awhile back that I SUSPECT that The Littlest Ronson is one of us?
Well this blog makes me wonder more. Eating as a bothersome chore? Don't like wasting time on said chore? Sound familiar to anyone else?
I've found her adorable since I first saw her, before I even knew her name. But the more i follow her, the more I wonder, and the more i like her. You know how Ana Regzig talked about the thinspirational angels LIVING WITH this disease?
If Samantha is one of us... she's LIVING WITH it, not Dying From it. Look at her. Yea she smokes (eww) but she's pin-thin, she seems fairly healthy, and she's a hard worker. She flies all over the world to high-paying DJ gigs. she was even there at that big dinner where Obama stuck it to Trump over the birth certificate thing. She was there! she's got a big endorsement deal with Hennessy Black. She's done up a modeling gig with Boy London. Because she wanted to. If she can get away from the crazy stalker ex, her life would be damn near perfect. I don't know what would make her life imperfect, but considering she does get harassed by randoms there's a good chance she'll never get that perfect life, but she can get damn close.
Anyway.. just to end this.. someone tweeted a link to Samantha about a USB-powered mini microwave. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1191606/Beanz-meanz-microwaves-Heinz-create-gadget-heat-snack-60-seconds.html
Samantha's response was "holy awesomeness"
I am sooo gonna mention Thinkgeek in that fanletter that I STILL haven't finished.
*slaps self for not finishing letter yet*
And a USB microwave? That soooo sounds like a Thinkgeek item. They even have USB powered aquariums.
I'm betting they'll be all over that microwave as soon as it's available for sale.

my excitement over this new discovery is probably a little over the top, but I just can’t help it. this is a little pot of magic.She's talking about the new Heinz Beanz Snap Pots. I'm gonna have to find some cuz the nutrition info seems to vary depending on website? nutritiondata gives me nothing. I did find http://dailyburn.com/nutrition/heinz_heinz_beanz_snap_pots_calories where it says 144 calories and http://www.heinz.co.uk/ourfood/beans/heinzbeanz/beanz-4-snap-pots which says 72 kcal. Sooo yea me dumb American and dunno what is up here.
I find eating to be a huge pain in the ass, most of the time. i hate having to stop what i’m doing to pee, eat, fill my car with petrol, or drink water. it’s just annoying. don’t get me wrong, i do like going to dinner with friends and i’m a huge fan of drinking for fun, just not when i’m busy and my body is throwing a temper tantrum like a spoiled tired 3 year old who had too much sugar. i, also, am not much of a cook, by the time i’m hungry enough to stop to eat I don’t want to spend another half an hour preparing a meal that’s going to take even more time to consume.
until today, ensure was my go to meal, a drink and a meal… killing two birds with one stone rules, not that i’m advocating animal cruelty, but hey, who am i to judge? anyway, i found these snap pots today and i’m elated. one minute in the microwave and yipee.. lunch.
yup, a law & order SVU marathon and an easy meal…. today was a good day.
But anyway... yea remember when i said awhile back that I SUSPECT that The Littlest Ronson is one of us?
