there is thunder in our hearts
"in the mornings, i'm just naked, writhing,
and vying for your attention."
this morning i feel like a kitten.
i feel like nothing i can do will matter.
i feel lonely, apathetic, restless.
i have an immense spanse of time and no one
and nothing to fill it with.
i feel like giving myself an ironic haircut
just so i could be the girl one notices first
in group photos.
but then again, my social anxiety would
dictate that i should want otherwise.
today i feel like trying.
but this is winnipeg.
what is there to try for?
this song makes me feel like running:

tony chestnut gets cheery
Tony Chestnut's Holiday line is here.
pick it up at F&Q on Albert or check out
here are some of my faves:
wasabi sabi sabi?
a few weeks ago was the opening of
Wasabi Sabi the third location
of an incredible sushi restaurant.
invite only and free champagne made it too
much fun.

a few things...
- last night i went on a hot date to the Olive Garden.
our server was too perky for either of us, and he
kept calling me "little lady" although it was evident
to everyone involved that i had at least 3 years
on the guy and could win in a back alley fight
without breaking a sweat.
- as petty as it may seem, i still hate everyone from
high school and their facebook pages just fuel my
irritation.
- my puppies are really great and fluffy and in bed
with me right now.
- i went to the mall to buy index cards and ended
up leaving with close to 100 dollars worth of
bath and body bullshit i don't need and
no school supplies.
- serge gainsbourg gives me tingles in my dingle.
(and has a song named 'Nazi Rock')
- i saw tropic thunder last night, and despite
hating movies like that, it was actually pretty funny.
- i smell like cranberries and my hands look like
a unicorn barfed on them. sparkle lotion isn't just
for 14 year olds anymore!

stupid girl
- as many as 5000 women a year are killed by members of their family in the name of honor.
- the slightest suspicion of pre- or extra-marital relations including rape which is often committed by a member of her own family can result in a death sentence for the accused.
-in some countries there are laws that completely waive any punishments for murders when women have "disgraced" their families.
- in 1997, 5000 Indian women were murdered by someone in the family of their betrothed for having insufficient dowries. in a 1995 report, Indian police told CNN that a woman is killed over dowry every two hours. the most popular method is to douse her in kerosene and burn her alive, giving rise to the term "bride burnings"
- between 1996 and 1998 there was a four-fold increase in reported acid attacks from 47 to over 200. in addition to hideous scarring of the face and upper body, victims are often blinded by the nitric acid thrown into their face and eyes. among the reasons used to justify the attacks are a delayed meal, or the rejection of a marriage proposal.
- In Cambodia, unlike other countries where men usually do the acid burning, WOMEN are responsible for some two-thirds of the attacks. Bigamy and the keeping of mistresses in this country helps to provoke them.
- In the US, a woman is raped every 6 minutes, a woman is battered every 15 seconds. In North Africa, 6000 women are genitally mutilated each day. This year more than 15000 women will be sold into sexual slavery in China. 200 women in Bangladesh will be horribly disfigured by acid attacks. More than 7000 women in India will be murdered by their families and in-laws in disputes over dowries.

you're the math to my science,
the science to my religion.
without you my life wouldn't
make sense.
i studied a whole two hours for the
grad school exam today. that's only a tiny
fraction of the hours/days/weeks/months
i should and will spend, but the dent has
been made, if ever so slight.
this makes me so nervous my palms itch:
except for the pokemon you see 57 seconds into it.
i work my long shift today. 5pm-2am. i'd much rather
sleep than listen to love songs this monday.
(or sleep WHILE listening to love songs).
i'd love if you'd come visit?

durr
last night was the tony chestnut holiday line
shoot. it was very fun and the clothing is
amazing.
i missed the WAL*art show everyone is talking
(and blogging) about. i hear it was great
but i'm not so so bummed i missed it.
i'm not the best person but i'm not
a bad person. i'm not a strong person
but i'm not so weak either.
this weather used to make me feel
like congregating under blankets and wine
and conversation.
this year i just want people to
leave me alone.
okay? cool. thx.

day-maker
i love d-bags who leave rude comments
"anonymously." if you're not down then there's
this fancy little x button in the top right
corner. it's called the "fuck off" button.
so quit wasting your life and use it.
in the words of Shaniqwa a la The Maury Povich Show:
"Chu don' KNOOOOOOW me!"

short circuit
i busted this out for the first time
in years at work the other night
and managed to make a few people
smile. last night Kaitlin asked me
to dedicate this to her on my blog, so
this one's for you girl:
the short circuit: is when you're fucking
and epileptic chick from behind and then
you throw on a strobe light.
awesome.

hmmm
today i plan to do nothing but
lie in bed and listen to Frank Sinatra
while nursing a hangover procured
from being in a room of solipsists
for more than an hour.
i am too sensitive today.
the city is blanketed in snow and i'm
hunkering down and creating my winter nest.
i hate christmas but today i woke up
with a smile and a thought of christmas
shopping. maybe one day i'll be the cheery
type during the most festive time of the year?
i doubt it.
i might see this tonight. has anyone seen it?
is it any good? i kind of have a thing for
older men. my flushed cheeks and tingly palms
during the aerosmith concert are a testament to that.

in a cave
fellow troglodytes.
today, the first snowy horrible day
of the longest stretch of winter, is the day
we recede back to whence we came.
to listen to quieter music
in a quieter city
doing quieter things.
the one thing i love about this season
is the quiet and the forever
excuse to not go out.
i've got winter tires now. so no need
to fear the death trap that is outside my door.
care bears is back from mexico and
her brosef's wedding.
i told her over coffee yesterday that i was
jealous that she got to hang out with
patrick my one-time BFFL(FN)
for the whole week!
i have nothing to say except that i took my
niece to superstore and the falafel place
and that i need to get out of this city.
i'll leave you with this quote from madge
which made me laugh out loud and yet
has stuck with me still. said during a
impromptu consoling in the exchange district
when i felt as if i was going nuts and needed
to get out and start fresh:
"Don't go to Switzerland.
Switzerland is a horrible place to hit
rock bottom. it's like, 'the air is so fresh
and everything is beautiful, so
why do i feel so dead inside?'"

squeaky clean.
i'd comment on the american election results
but i'm sure you all know my reaction.
we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
i'm a nervous person in general
and THAT made me especially so.
when the regular at work came in to
tell me the good news i almost hugged him.
obama is good cause for a hug
between strangers.
today i had my first dentist appointment in
2 years. no cavities but my mouth hurts.
surprise seeing as i eat my weight in candy
on a regular basis.
wednesdays are my day off and i plan on
spending the rest of it in bed
listening to Beirut and the Smiths
and playing loads of spider
solitaire.
i am a useless person.
