Won a giant letterman's jacket with my company logo on the back at last week's office holiday party.
I'm exchanging it for an assortment of smaller items with my company's logo...

Last night was a friend's birthday party. She was snockered by 9:00pm, so I left by 10:30pm. Too early to go to bed, but too late to make an appearance anywhere else.

Try putting the jacket on EBAY............unless your company logo is lame or something!!!

Ask yourself this,"Would you ever wear something promoting your work ...................after work"?????

I probably would because I'm lame!

Cleaning out my closet this evening, I found the following letter
written to me when I was 19 years old and working at a magazine with a large male readership:

Your name evokes a myriad of emotions within me (heh, heh). Would you ever run off with a seventeen year old Foamthug? We could rob banks, eat bundt cake, make fun of the defenseless, &...

Grilled chicken breast and rice for so long? Are you on a diet?

I'm unhappy because I'm fat, and I'm fat because I'm unhappy. frown

Kidding. smile Really, it's just because I can tailor how I feel, how much fat I carry, and how much energy I have for lifting by what and how much I eat. The simpler the ingredients, the easier this is to do. Also I don't like being affected by food, such as feeling sleepy, burpy or dazed because of a rich sauce for example. Optimally, I won't ever feel hungry, and won't ever feel weighed down by what I ate. Just sort of a comfortable stasis that doesn't burn any brain cycles. You can get pretty close to this if the food is "clean" and you measure it out (in my head) after some experimentation. The other reason is that I hate to cook, so I'd rather eat monotonously than have to deal with variety.

A foamthug? confused

Did you do anything interesting over Thanksgiving?

My mistake......it was a gal with a name close to yours. But I'd like to get one from you if you had one........anyway.

Friday I cut myself some bangs (well, I didn't cut them myself - I had bangs cut.)

I'm still getting used to them, but I like them. My hair looks like a wig.

Saturday night, my friends with whom I starred in a high school production of Grease (guess who was Frenchy?) made this amazing goat cheese pasta that I'm still digesting.

Afterwards, another friend...

And he would see all these faces, for several years. He knew she had moved shortly before he decided to leave school, but still, he thought he kept seeing her. Every expression of every woman he encountered, this little girl had shown, for a fleeting moment, on her young face.
But he knew it couldnt be her, so he looked to the older ones. These...

She would change her face for her surroundings for no other reason except boredom. Although, she knew this wasnt true entirely. Changing her disguise would enable her to infiltrate any number of scenarios from which she might have been otherwise excluded. And this, by default, challenged her boredom.

She was a dark-headed bobbed girl who children mistook for a grandmother, when she was only 23....

I saw your comment about the Bukowski bar tour in this that or the other group. I've only just started reading him (due to this site), but it sounds like this would be a blast. Sort of like the Jack the Ripper tour in London's East end, but with more booze. biggrin

There used to be a great pinball game called "Fun House". Periodically, a sound would play of a carny barker shouting, "Hey you, with the face!"

INSERT ANIMAL STORY

When you feel sad, I will meet you.

At 17, he would drop out of the international school, and live all his hours in the house he hated. Finally, he felt he had to do it. He had to wander about town until he found her. He knew what she looked like the American girl, only older, much older.

The world was...

Tuesday night a coworker took me to a crazy soiree sponsored by Amazon. They had no ginger ale for me to drink my vodka and ginger ales, and tried to pass off a mixture of Sprite and Coke as "close-enough" ginger ale. Unh-unh.

That hot gay cop from Six Feet Under was there, and as a woman I spoke with said, "He's all, 'I'm here,...

More re-gifting!

Vodka and ginger ale, vanilla vodka and dr. pepper. These are drinks I've never tried, but have been meaning to. Well, maybe substitute diet ginger ale, and diet dr. pepper. wink

Can I borrow your life for a few weeks? You always seem to be into such interesting stuff.

He called you back the same night, and didn't even wait the LA standard 2 days? I keep thinking of that hilarious scene in Swingers. biggrin

I hope you feel better sweetie. Try some hot tea with honey and fresh ginger root. It'll make you feel right as rain! kiss

Will return to the installments when I feel like it.

Thursday I went to a shindig for this magazine. Suicide Girls were there with free copies. I didn't really understand the whole event or how I got there, but it was fun nonetheless. I also got a free silkscreened shirt by Puma.

Friday, I saw this man's slide show at the Getty. I particularly...

I love the architechture. The gardens at the Getty are damn spanky, too.

I prefer the Export-As when I listen to the `Placemats.

Installment #4

At the end of their journey, all four children would make their ways to different buses, which would then finally take them to school. In the bus, she didnt have the British boy, but with her confidence mounted at that point, she didnt really even need him.

He would climb off the bus once he finally got to school, and his first course...
