Just watched Super Skinny Me on the BBC and it was weird to watch.
Summary: "In this shocking documentary about the extreme lengths some women will go to lose weight, two average-sized journalists accept a challenge to whittle themselves down to a size zero within 5 weeks. With everything short of surgery and drugs at their disposal, the effects of the rapid weight loss and extreme dieting on these two women has to be seen to be believed."
One of the women started getting an anorexic mentality. It was kind of scary to watch and makes you think how easy it is to get caught up in that world.
One of them talked to a 15 year old girl with anorexia. When asked how she felt when she saw Nicole Richie in tabloids, she replied with "It's unfair she gets to be that skinny while I am forced to be here and gain weight. I just want to be that skinny."
That being said .. I have a consultation with BEAT Personal Training on Monday. I like their approach because it is less like a gym and more doctor-y. Aside from the traditional custom work-outs and diet plans, they do blood work and other science crap to help keep me on track.
I'm excited, but like those women in that show, I'm worried about the addiction to weight loss. Or, even worse, losing then gaining it all back and spiraling into a bad depression.
One of my biggest fears is, if I ever got to be skinny, I would do anything to stay that way. That's probably irrational since I don't do anything like that now to get skinny. Maybe because I don't really know what I'd be going back to since I've never been really small. At my smallest I got down to a size 10 right before dad got sick.
I'll just take it one month at a time and for now I'm doing it to be healthier. |

My AC isn't working. Of course. The fan is on blowing aire around but it's been on for 3 hours and it isn't any cooler.
Sigh. My apartment just started a "if it's not our fault, we're charging you" policy for repairs so we'll see if they try to charge me for this. In which case .. I refuse! That's bullshit.
But I can't even do anything about it til maybe Monday but probably Tuesday since they aren't open on weekend and Monday is Memorial Day. And they don't have emergency service either. In the winter if my heat goes out any time Friday after 5, I would have to wait til Monday morning for it to get fixed. That has to be illegal.
Ugh.
I've been looking for other places, but I just can't afford it.
Hopefully when we get our EPs the first week of June and start sending them out, I'll get all awesome and famous and not have to worry about it anymore. |

Today would have been my dad's 64th birthday.
In two months it will be the 3rd anniversary of his death. Damn. It's felt like 10. I don't know if that's good or bad. |

About 1/3 of my tooth that needed a root canal (like .. 2 years ago and I never did it ) broke off on Saturday and I have a dentist appointment for 7am tomorrow morning before work.
I thought there was enough to salvage with a filling, but the core is pretty much destroyed. So I'll probably need like .. a half root canal and cap.
I figure I'm just going to suck it up and get all my dental work done at one time. It's going to suck and maybe I can get totally knocked out, let them do whatever they have to do, then I can wake up and be high for a weekend on pain drugs. I think my only two wisdom teef are coming in too so they can go ahead and that that shit out as well if they need to.
I've felt so white trash all weekend even though you can't even tell. It's just one of those things.
Tomorrow will be fun. Especially because it is the first day of (614) Lunch Club and I kinda have to be there. I'm going to be the nerd unable to eat lunch. :/
Also, this is going to cost about $2,000 probably. :( Sigh. |

We had our launch party for (614) last night at Eleven. Nothing like 3 hours of top shelf free liquor. I took Jamarr because I owed him a favour, so he mingled and stuff.
I had two martinis and three gin and tonics before stumbling my ass home because I live pretty close. Jamarr came over, talked to me about conspiracies, than left. :/ And "talked to me about conspiracies" is not lingo for anything else.
I felt like shit, Skyped for a bit, went to bed and woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose. :(
Today sucked so I worked and day dream about people who are off limits and what I would love to do with them. ^_^ It would never be as fun as my day dreams, though, I'm sure.
The band practice where I felt even more like shit. I spent my last couple dollars on cat food for the kitties. They showed their gratitude by syncronizing a puke fest on my floor. And Sabre said "thanks" by shitting under my bed.
Hoo-ray. Ugh, it's hard to keep my house from smelling like cats. I can't wait for the summer when I can really let this place air out. Those sons of bitches.
So now I am listening to "Holdin' On" by Citizen Cope, drying off from a shower that didn't help me feel any better, and thinking again about people I'm not allowed to touch.
I mean, other stuff happened in the past 24 hours, but those are the main bullet points of my life.
Andrew wants to quit his job and start a dog walking business. I love it when people say "fuck you!" to the man and go do their own thing. He has to wait a couple weeks to make sure he and Elizabeth are secure. So I am going to help him with a website and stuff. Maybe talk to Clem tomorrow about BluSparrow and see if he wants to jump on board and we make it an official biz.
To help get him excited, I made these for him (you can totally see my progression of the idea as it goes along. lol!):
Last one is sad.
Tomorrow I will put up the pictures Chris has done for my band. Yey. Lots of exciting band stuff happening right now. |

I had fun last night!
I am letting Shelly use my Dell while her computer is out of commission so she picked it up yesterday and I have a little more room now. I am thinking of rearranging my living room to how I originally wanted it.
So she invited me out to see Travis' ( a coworker) comedy show at Zeno's. I had nothing else to do so, why not! We went and Zeno's is ok up top. I am not used to people smoking in bars after Ohio banned smoking in all public places. But some bars sneak under the radar. So we go down in the basement and it makes me think of a New York ma-and-pop italian place. The thing that sucked was they had all the lights off except one and then candles on the tables. So it totally fucked my eyes up.
We got there at 8 thinking that was when it was starting, but .. no. So Shelly and I drank and gossiped about a boy she likes.
There was an hour and a half of ok comedy. Then we talked with Travis for a second and went upstairs. Shelly said she was meeting a friend and I was on the fence about staying but she asked if I would at least stick around til her friend got there. I'm not a douche so of course I would. She bought me a drink and we found Kate, the managing editor at UWeekly/614, so we chatted for a bit then her friend showed up.
I guess he worked at UWeekly too, we chatted with him and he's pretty awesome. I decided to just stay out with them so we went to Harrison's on Third which is actually kinda nice. Better than I expected at least. We talked and that was when I had a grown up moment. The fact that I am comfortable in new social situations and I can fit in. It's just nice .. when you realize you can just be a person and not either be a total wallflower or someone who has to be the center of attention to get people to like you.
I dunno.
We chilled back at my place for a while because I have cats and a bass and the dude was into it. We drank some beer, talked, and then everyone went home.
Overall it was a good night. And.. it was exactly what I needed. :) |

Ugh.
Things are redonk right now and I've been in a bitch mood all day.
Work is crazy and I feel like I have a lead role in Office Space. I don't even care to explain. I just want to .. day dream about a vacation.
Or at least summer.
Oh ... also .. OUR NEW OFFICE IS DOPE. Major upgrade. |

I slept so much yesterday/last night. It is great!! I got a break from life for a night which I really needed.
Monday night, the bitch next door decided she would do her laundry at 12:15 am. My apartment is right above the washer and, let's face it, this is Victorian Village .. nothing is ever close to sound proofed. FFS, when I turn all the lights off in my room, I can look down into my vent and see the basement. So I basically laid in bed for 40 minutes, listening to this loud-ass washer.
At least the cunt who does her laundry at 6 am hasn't done that recently.
So then I work all day and .. did I do something Tuesday night? I think Clem came over and we made an order or something. We made this awesome chocolate which we will be introducing later. I've been picking at it and it is dangerously delish.
So Tuesday I get to bed kinda late because I was on Skype and watching a show I DVR'd earlier in the night. I am woken up at 4am but the same bitch that did her laundry at 12:15am the night before screaming and running around with her friends. Fucking really?
I don't understand what her problem is. Ever since she moved in about a month after I did, I've dealt with her being loud and having fights with the people she has over all the time and her constantly (and I mean constantly .. ask Clem for verification) shutting her cabinets loudly but this was the last straw.
I think this is the first place she's had on her own and she is treating it like she is in a house of her own or something.
From 4 am to 5 am they were running around the basement acting like fools. I've never been so close to hitting a bitch, but I didn't approach them directly because they were all drunk and I would have had to get dressed, stumble around the basement or walk my ass outside to the front of the building and find their door.
So Wednesday I called the office and complained. I've been patient with their other stuff but after two nights in a row, I was going to nip that shit in the bud. And I did.
However my week of nights where I am woken up was not complete!
Wednesday into Thursday night, I get a text from my friend whose band we were playing with on Thursday at 3:19 am. Actually, two texts because I think his phone is messed up.
Fucking really? A mass text at 3:19am?
Then Thursday we had the show and I had to stay the whole time so I didn't get to bed until close to 3am because it's rude to play your set and then just up and leave.
We had a decent show though and made some good connections so we've got that going for us. The Lovebones want to do another show with us and we have yet another one in the works for May with 2 other bands that have "Dirty" in their name. lol. Also we are looking at a show in Chicago next month. Busy busy.
Now that I am all refreshed, I am going to do laundry and clean and be lame or something.
I have some fun things going on next week! Yay. |

I'm just having a band moment. :)
I love my boys.
I haven't listened to Open Eyes in a while and I just .. really liked it. I admire Andrew as a font man and songwriter so much. That song doesn't have his most clever sayings, but the way he wrote about such a tragedy is nice.
When I wrote songs about dad dying, it was really kinda depressing and shit, but Open Eyes is about his friend who died in a drunk driving accident and it isn't happy but it doesn't make you want to slit your wrists, ya know?
When I listened to Open Eyes just now I thought .. we might really be signed. We're so close and putting so much into it and .. just a good fit ( at least I think ) that it might really work. :D
That is so exciting!
We're having a band week. Tomorrow Andrew goes into the studio to finish vocals on Boy That Testified, Wednesday we have practice then Thursday we have a show. Also sometime we need to sit down with Chris and see his stuff.
And most exciting of all, I am actually pretty decent on bass. Who the fuck knew! Not me. lol! I should practice more but when I get home I pretty much want to die. And with the weather getting nice, I want to go outside when I get home.
Ah well. |
