what's the name of this club?

somehow, through a series of mistakes, misunderstandings, and rescheduling, I HAVE THE DAY OFF TODAY.
from all. three. jobs. whaaaaaaaaat?
so far i have done the dishes, worked out (for the first time in a veryveryvery long time) and danced around while trying to decide how i feel about lady gaga.
turns out i really like lady gaga.
huh.
given my deep-seeded cynicism it was unexpected, but we failed to take into account my love of good dance music and showmanship.

tomorrow: back to two of the jobs, including meeting my STRIPPER CHOREOGRAPHER.
(more on that later...yes, it is as scandalous as it sounds, just in a different way than you're thinking.)
edit: also made dinner. rock. star.

if joy had a face

my brother is coming up from austin tomorrow. he's staying with us. my mom is coming up to see him, and she's staying with us too. so i'm cleaning today.

but since i got back on the pony, i didn't want to abandon you so soon. also, the last post was a little down, so i wanted to share something special.

when i'm sad, or stressed, or killing time as scrubbing bubbles eats away at six months worth of soap scum in my shower (hey-o), i like to look at pictures of baby orangutans.

is there anything in the world cuter than a baby orangutans? regular, full grown orangutans...meh. but the babies...oh the babies....
human babies have nothing on this.
all pictures from zooborns, one of the greatest sites in the universe.

revolutions 2010

if i had gotten pregnant on the day i started this blog, which was also the last day i wrote a blog, i would be waddling around with an almost fully-baked baby in my belly, and then i REALLY would've had something to write about. but i am luckily without child, and this blog went ignored and abandoned. until today.

why?

did i think of you sometimes, abandoned blog? certainly. as much as it sounds like a Stupid White Person Problem, i missed blogging. or i guess i should say writing. i used to write all the time, blogs and poems and stories. it was therapeutic. it made my brain...work...better. so it was probably easier and more interesting to talk to me then, too.

so that's one reason.

also, i was reading yes and yes the other day, and sarah von (who is one of the most positive and lovely people on the internet) asked her readers to post what they were looking forward to in 2010.

and man, i tried, but i couldn't think of anything. there was nothing i was looking forward to in the year ahead. and that is just completely unacceptable.

so the wheels are turning. i have some ideas. but i decided to start writing again, not because i think this will be interesting to anyone other than myself, but i have been known to abandon projects (see the timestamp of the last entry) and i find that i work better when people are holding me accountable (even if those people are Me and The Internet).

also, my best friend told me to.

so let's get started on this adventure, shall we?


(or maybe i'll see you in eight months.)
