some of these are blatantly stolen, and perhaps it seems weird to begin resolutions in March, but what better time? the vernal equinox is on March 20, and i can't think of a better time to start fresh. so, from this equinox to next year's, these are my resolutions:
1) Make sure my loved ones know how much I love and appreciate them
2) Develop...

Find a doc who is willing to do a little research. When I was living in Europe, my doc said that my liver was a little fatty, mostly due to taking anti-inflammitories (like Advil) after drinking. He prescribed 150mg Milk Thistle 2x daily. There's been research on Medline about it, as the US is a bit behind Europe on natural remedies. Here, the exact same formulation is available in health food stores and is called Thisilyn.
4 months later without changing my lifestyle and it had great results.
Here's an NIH report you can direct your physician to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11735632

we can talk librarian anytime! lol
eep! has it really been that long since my last blog? this year has gone insanely fast.
on a different note, i am having major trouble finding appropriate models for my ebay store. this may be because they are being paid in vintage clothing, beer, and good company.

did you see sharon jones + the dap-kings backing up buble on snl? so weird. it makes one thing clear: he should stay away from the blue-eyed soul thing and stick to standards.
I'm on the host committee for this event, and the SAMFund is an effin' amazing organization, they're the only ones doing the kind of work they do. I know $35 doesn't grow on trees, but you get 3 hours of open bar (and, y'know, bags. if that's yer thing.), great prizes (including Italian Villa dvd's) and lots of good times in general.
Please pass this...

I'm actually already back in CA (as of last night) for the next three weeks. Glad to get away from the cold for a bit 
I'm just biding my time to join the SG Chicago group since one of the requirements is to have been a member for 3 months, which I will be in January. Maybe I'll see you at one of the events!!
Med school does tend to force humanity out of people and turn them into medical machines that are hellbent upon making shit-loads of money, which is really not what the profession is about. It irks me when I see doctors who put their billing and money-making above the safety and best interests of their patients. It's just wrong. That's part of why I really like the academic setting for medical practice because everyone is salaried so they're not trying to milk you (the patient) for money. They just want you to get better because then they've done their job well.

when i went to the renegade craft fair, i found a woman who sells felt beards and beard stickers - it was super awesome. if you see her, tell her she has a fan in new york.

Hey, thanks! And thanks for the add!
ack. it looks like i can't go to pitchfork this weekend. sigh. instead of buying outrageously marked up tickets i shall be spending my money on crown lengthening surgery. grrr. i hate teeth. i would consider just getting them all pulled and popping in some dentures if that wasn't hugely expensive too.
i'll still be in town on friday tho. my teeth can't prevent me...

Didn't get around to posting earlier, but I will not be ending up going to the concert. Something came up, but I am hoping I will still be able to get to the SGC Meet and Greet. If I am lucky, I shall see you there. If not, I will look for ya at Shonen Knife.
i had one of my favorite fridays ever (so far):
-it's gorgeous sunny skies here all afternoon. probably not as hot as most would like it, but absolutely perfect for me.
-i got a pile of cd's from the library, mostly that eccentric soul series of obscure soul labels, and they're making me ridiculously happy

Are you a Stax fan? I'm a big Otis/William Bell/Dramatics, etc. freak.
If you like Bebel you might like some of the older stuff by Elis Regina. Astrud Gilberto is lovely but her voice is kind of cool and flat, not as rich and warm as Elis. Maria Bethania's voice is almost deeper than Bebel's, and she's a living legend, but it's hard to find her old old stuff.

hey pretty lady, do you know where the rainbow is and how far it is from the festive grounds...??
okay, i shall take a break from obsessing about how my health insurance is getting paid for the next month to update here.
i had a weird cancer-focused month so far. i went to boston for a retreat for couples dealing with cancer (and, in my case, aftereffects of cancer) and orlando for a hereditary cancer conference. to be honest, by the time i got...

You seem like such a good person. Got a good head on your shoulders girl
i picked up about 10 bucks worth of 2007 magazines at the library the other day. so lately every sentence that comes out of my mouth starts with "i read this article..." and since my friends are sick of hearing it, you are the lucky recipients of these vast reams of useless knowledge. for example...

Wow, thanks. I am totally flattered.
Don't get me started on my celebrity crushes we will be here all night. And there was no one on Serenity that I wouldn't have fucked. Even Book. Mmhmm!

it's almost 3 in the morning on a tuesday nite (wednesday morning?) and there's a great commercial on tv with the michelin man and his totally adorable michelin dog. having cable does bad bad things to my sleep pattern. i don't really need to watch a science channel show about oysters or another bette davis flick on tcm or another episode of roseanne. but i...

Anyway keep positive-sounds stupid I know but letting the negative seep in has driven me under too many times to count
Social interaction is prime-The Internet's hardly a substitute but works when its 3am and all yer normal peeps are asleep-but who am I to talk

I'd LOVE to have a drink!! I'm taking my time getting across the state. Currently in La Crosse visiting some old friends, and frankly I'm in no hurry to leave. But when I get over to Lake Michigan I'll let ya know.
What is with that Hungry Brain thing? Just and SG gathering? Sounds pretty fun. I've never been to a Chicago SG meetup.
You are my hero for meeting Jack. I didn't know there was a "Jack" either. And I've been buying my chucks there for years. I've been wearing chucks since I was 12 and got a copy of The Replacements' Let it Be. I used to run the gamut when it came to colors, but I usually just stick with black and/or natural at this point in my life.
