got splashed on a bridge today
- by admin
it's been raining since yesterday but since I work a 10-minute walk from home I hoof it there and back on the 'ol feets and as a result found myself trucking across the osborne bridge this afternoon on my way home.
which isn't so bad even when it's raining, the bridge provides a pretty lovely view of the river and the 'ledge and it's hard to hate walking over it even when you're getting soaked.
as I was walking a dude in a huge truck drove across the bridge and as he passed where I was walking he revved his engine and sped up and as result covered your hero in a bunch of puddle-water which needless to say didn't leave me too impressed.
I yelled WTF and turned to give him the one-finger salute but didn't have to because I saw he'd been pulled over for running through a red light at the intersection after the bridge.
karma's a bitch.

I need to go for a run
- by admin
and don't fool yourself I'm not a dainty runner or even a dainty woman in general. I'm a clutz and a spaz and when I hit that treadmill if I'm not panting and red in the face and sweat isn't dripping into my eyes and the only thing I can focus on right then is pacing my breath and moving my arms then why the hell am I there anyway.
it's funny to say that because I don't think of myself as a Runner but lately it's the only way I can clear my head and stop worrying about something, everything and just be.
two years ago I couldn't even run on the treadmill, or at all. my boobs were too big and it hurt my back/chest/everything to even attempt to sprint like I used to when I was younger but thanks to universal healthcare my newer, smaller, better boobs have allowed me to become this running-obsessed monster. thanks modern medicine.
if I could go every day I would but I'm just too damn busy. life and school and work and homework piles up on me and honestly guys the only time when I feel like I'm not being crushed under the weight of responsibility is that 3-4 times a week when I can escape and let go.
last week I was sick and I only went once. I pushed myself for 15 mins and nearly 2 miles but I was so stuffed-up I could barely breathe and I felt like I was going to pass out or throw up or both and I dragged my sorry ass home in the rain, unfulfilled and under the weather.
today after work and class and a meeting with classmates to talk about a project that could eat up the entirety of my evening I'm going on that treadmill if it kills me. even if I have to stay up till midnight doing schoolwork after.
I haven't been feeling like myself and I don't know wtf is up.
I need a good run to sort myself out.

saw The Master last night
- by admin
which was step 1. of our date night where I was all
why don't we go see a movie? we never go out to see movies these days
and then we got to silvercity polo park and Tyrone got stuck in the huge-assed line to buy tickets and because we were short on time I went to get snacks and here's how it went down:
I stepped into a line with five peeps in it, stood there for a sec and realized
hey the line next to me is just two chicks at the register, I'd better hop over there
so I hopped
and waited
and waited
and waited
because apparently people don't know that while they're waiting in line for the concessions they should figure out wtf they want first and then start talking about whatevs instead of the other way around
plus the chick was trying to get the concession girl to scan some barcode from her smartphone because she lost whataver it was she was trying to use
(scene card? who cares)
and wound up having to slo-o-o-o-wly recite the sku to her and then omg they forgot that extra small drink and omg they needed it no ice and omg I was ready to kill them.
by this time the line I had left was already past the spot I would have secured (of course) and there's a huge line-up behind me and these two chicks are still yammering away and Tyrone showed up and I said
this is going nowhere
but by now you're committed and there's nothing you can do but wait. even tho the movie has started and you're going to have to find your seats in the dark.
luckily by the time we flew through our order and got to the theatre we had only missed some of the previews and since we weren't going to see some stupid movie like hotel transylvania 3D, taken 2, franenweenie 3D or paranormal activity 4 (wtf) the theatre wasn't jammed full of people so we found a seat okay.
the moral of the story is that people are inconsiderate and don't know how to do anythin and the master is a really disturbing epic of a film and PT Anderson is a friggin' genius.
it seems to be his 'thing' to do movies about these really rotten, atrocious people and the characters in this movie were seriously effed up. also it's about cults (if you know anything about scientology you'll see a lot of resemblances between lancaster dodd-hoffman's character- and l. ron hubbard are striking).
it's a tough movie that's a challenge to the audience, but you know I like a good challenge and this didn't disappoint.
if you liked there will be blood, then see this because it's just as good and worth the hassle it'll take to get yr damn popcorn.
too much happened today, and nothing really at all

had weird dreams which isn't unusual. if I told you guys half the weird shit I dream about every night you'd think I was crazy and be jealous that you don't get to have the same nighttime adventures I do.it's why I love naps. you always get the weirdest dreams when you sleep during the day.
whenever I'm sick like I am today I curl up in bed with my ipad and fall asleep to futurama or something like it and wake up still convinced that I'm somewhere else. except today my dreams were weird and I had to wake up before they were over and as I rolled out of bed I wasn't even sure I was awake, my head was so stuffed up.
it's one of the only good things about being sick, especially when you're sick and have to drag your sorry sick ass to class because you have to do a presentation and then this chick that you hate who constantly challenges everything everyone says feels the need to keep you up there defending your presentation for ten minutes when you just want to fall over.
I'm not saying all feminists are like this, but why is it all the ornery, nitpicky bitches in any class I've ever taken always self-identify as "feminists"?
seriously. all yr girl wanted to do was go back to my desk and keep my head down while she harassed every other presenter today about how they were wrong. then the class started talking about 'blogs as a medium' and people started talking about jenna marbles and I nearly lost it.
it was just one of those days.
the only solution was to grab a sammich and lie on the couch with The President and watch battlestar gallactica which I'm watching for the first time (shh I know) and it's so intense omg.
I was still feeling like junk later when tyrone came home and started making me soup and kat came by on a wave of rainbows and cuteness with half a homemade pumpkin pie which was perfect and delicious and so sweet and we watched joe kill it during the debate which made everything better.
now I'm on one end of the couch writing this and drinking the best coffee and tyrone is feeding me pieces of the cake that we're sharing as we watch more BSG and Ford is here purring and everything is great.
funny how a bunch of small things can make yr day go to shit
and how some other small things can make it better
it's almost the weekend and I'm excited.

this is how that video made me feel:

- by admin
because in this past three-day span I havevisited tyrone's family
my family
and some dear friends
went to a club show
gotten free drinks

stayed out too late
woke up too early
went for a long walk
ate a reuben with kimchi
edited an oral history project proposal
written a midterm paper
ran like mad on the treadmill
and
watched a different star trek movie
so watching this one only makes sense
plus tom hardy is in it.
yum.
