there's a scene in Aliens where Sigourney wipes the kid's dirty face and says, 'uh oh, now I've done it, I've made a clean spot.' that's how I feel about house cleaning

4am fire alarm... someone pulled the alarm and woke everyone in the building up. thankfully it was a false alarm but unsettling after what happened in my hood recently

realized my dear friend martin died a few months ago. hadn't been able to reach him for a long while and then finally did the obvious thing and checked his facebook status where there were updates from his friends and family. goodbye dear sweet martin; you were always incredibly important to me. love you

2010-12-25T21:08:00.001-08:00

each year my mom puts on a huge production of our traditional gift exchanges, decorations, food & fun. most people who do this much organizing work get paid thousands of dollars for party planning, she does it for free. thank you dear mama

2010-12-25T14:18:00.001-08:00

2010-12-23T17:14:00.001-08:00

there are individual tv sets at each table at this BBQ place on the plaza. your own tv at your table? I'm not sure what to think yet, it's totally blowing my mind

2010-12-23T16:47:00.001-08:00

tron legacy is so freaking stupid. Hollywood always makes the same stories over and over

2010-12-22T21:23:00.001-08:00

if the military is gonna have a lot of homosexual showers now that dadt is repealed, can I get registered at Ikea?

2010-12-21T08:59:00.001-08:00

my sister-in-law's house is so scented. so variously and sweetly scented. it's a nose's dream house

2010-12-20T16:37:00.001-08:00

first dinner by my mom, yum! I'm eating seconds and I'm not even hungry anymore... but it's so yummy so why stop eating?

2010-12-20T10:05:00.001-08:00

one thing I love about being back in the Midwest is that suddenly, without losing a pound, I'm 'thin' again

2010-12-19T18:59:00.001-08:00

me and the kitty are off to bed early in our new digs with my parents. we've both had a long day

she managed to escape her 9-5 shackles too! man she's totally Houdini and it's impossible to keep her cone on her. unbelievable

2010-12-03T09:56:00.001-08:00

well I think I finally got my cat's cone locked on her head. but I feel a little like dolly, lily, and jane from 9-5 in how many knots I've tied her up in via harnesses and loops and ties and contraptions.

2010-12-02T19:27:00.001-08:00

yay! I'm taking Amaya home with me to Missouri for Christmas. I don't normally take her but I don't want to be away from her right now. I'm just so excited she's going to be ok!

2010-12-02T14:08:00.001-08:00

results from the vet are very good and she's cancer-free. all very very good! so happy about this.

2010-12-01T20:55:00.001-08:00

man, i've been depressed! but tonight Amaya's been playful & loving & seems to be hurting less & man, it makes me feel so much better. i'm all the sudden a little bit hopeful for her recovery. now if she'd just stop taking off her cone...

2010-11-30T21:56:00.001-08:00

it's awful and terrible but... watching my cat be miserable with the totally cute conehead is making me laugh for the first time since I took her to the ER Saturday.

2010-11-30T20:53:00.001-08:00

back to the vet again at night. she keeps getting out of her cone (she doesn't like her new fashionable state for some reason). so we may have to try a different outfit tonight.

2010-11-30T14:30:00.001-08:00

Amaya is out of surgery ok, sending biopsy to test for cancer with results in a week, she has to wear a cone and take oral drops for the week. gonna be a cranky week. but love-filled, I LOVE my cat!

2010-11-30T07:39:00.001-08:00

cats simply don't understand that they cannot eat during the night before surgery

2010-11-29T16:46:00.001-08:00

watching 'murder she wrote' marathon to make feel and the kitty feel better

2010-11-29T15:11:00.001-08:00

kitty lumpectomy surgery in the morning. I so hope this helps her get better. she's so sad right now. (I'm sad too)

2010-11-29T13:58:00.001-08:00

at the vet again, this time for pre-op :-( I hope all this helps her get better, she's so sad and hurting

2010-11-29T10:23:00.001-08:00

my cat has a tumor :-(

2010-11-27T15:29:00.001-08:00

for those who know the 'girl with the dragon tattoo' books/movies, I nicknamed my kitty Amaya 'lisbeth' as she so fits the character's personality

2010-11-27T14:35:00.001-08:00

in the waiting room while they work on my baby. they gots to drug her and shave her and lance a boil. poor kitty is having a very unhappy day

2010-11-27T14:16:00.001-08:00

I love how pets hate going into the carrier but once at the vet you can't get them out

2010-11-25T11:14:00.001-08:00

it's officially the holiday season and ima eat and eat and eat. I love food and ima gain 10 pounds by January. woohoo!

2010-11-11T13:00:00.001-08:00

possibly in love with Darren Criss now... Eddie you're taking too long with Leann

2010-11-11T08:54:00.001-08:00

2010-11-08T21:44:00.001-08:00

anyone else haunted by milhouse's suicide on simpsons treehouse of horror last night? really bizarre and sad.

2010-11-07T19:18:00.001-08:00

just finished 'the girl with the dragon tattoo' trilogy. so amazing. I so hope they find that reported fourth book. best set of books ever!

2010-11-06T18:32:00.001-07:00

'fair game' is a terrific movie! but it does anger up the blood so it's best not to watch it and care about the state of the world at the same time

2010-11-06T16:18:00.001-07:00

excited to see 'fair game' movie starting up in 5 minutes. yay, a movie at a movie theater; it's been so long

2010-11-06T14:51:00.001-07:00

relaxing and enjoying a beautiful day in the Castro, and most importantly NOT handing out voter guides... cuz the election is OVER, hooray!

2010-11-06T09:02:00.001-07:00

I am soooo gonna veg out this weekend. first weekend with no work or workish activities in forever. hooray! (now I just need to figure out which takeout menus to order from)

2010-11-04T19:47:00.001-07:00

watching the first episode of 'twin peaks', 20 years later. loved this show back when; now it just seems incredibly slow

2010-11-04T15:54:00.001-07:00

watching 'a view to a kill' for the first time; they're destroying san francisco city hall! how rude

2010-11-03T07:49:00.001-07:00

election night hangover, check. drinking lots of coffee while reading results, check. so glad it's all over regardless of outcomes, double check

2010-11-02T20:21:00.001-07:00

hooray! the election is over!

2010-11-02T06:44:00.001-07:00

I loved the girl with the dragon tattoo and now I'm absorbed in it's first sequel. it's amazing how exciting it is to turn every page
