I miss Austin. This time last year, my legs were in fantastic shape, because I walked 30 blocks a day and had to climb two flights of stairs to get to my apartment. It really is a fantastically walkable city.
i wish LA were a walking city. i mean, my neighborhood is, certain neighborhoods are, and they’re wonderful, but to go anywhere else, i have to hop in my car, sit in the...

I get so pissed off when the goddamn government is worrying about health care. If you care enough and you are over the age of 18 and not a full time student, then go to work and get fucking health care. There are services to people whose company doesn’t do the whole health care bit. Why is this...

…this word…means “a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start” in Yaghan, one of the indigenous languages of Tierre del Fuego. It’s also listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the “most succinct word”. (via nostrich)
if only i knew how to pronounce it.

i’m on the bandwagon.
my boss, a man, is wearing white jeans.
i do not live in miami.
nor is he european.
edited to add: 7/16 @ 4:24: he just walked out of his office, and said ‘fuck you.’
think he knows?
yeah, that coffee, albeit decaf, not such a good idea right now.
my nutritionist/ friend’s girlfriend thinks i may not be eating enough calories for how much i am working out.
(i want to be fit, not lose weight.) ((there’s a difference.))
i’m hoping that the two hamburgers i had yesterday (one for lunch, one for dinner) and decaf latte with regular milk count as “adding more protein.”
The Debate
lifeofbk:
If I were to pick up a new phone in the next couple weeks, would it be wise to switch to a SoCal number? I’ve had my Wisconsin (area code 920) number for well over five years, but hanging onto my hometown number makes it seem as though I’m not committing to LA, or the industry.
Is this true, or am I just creating a problem in my head? What about when/if I go out to New York? Will I...

don’t ask my brother.
he’ll call you crazy when you ask him what the third thing is.

Getting over your ex ... or not.
juliaallison:
The theme for this week’s Time Out column is exes (ooh! my favorite topic!), and getting over them. Or … not getting over them, as the case may be.
I’ve noticed with my own exes that my ability to get over them doesn’t seem to be proportionate with how long we dated, or even how much I loved them. It seems - at least on first analysis - to be related to how “resolved” or...
too soon?
i want to make chocolate chip cookies.
i have a date tonight.
can i combine the two?
and how can i do it without having to clean up my apartment?
(it’s a third date.)

this woman, this amazing, talented, absolutely breathtaking artist is taking my family’s photo in 36 days.
and yes, i am counting the seconds.
the office is empty.
i am watching “legally blonde, the musical: the search for the next elle woods,” and p is making a list for the celebrities she thinks should be on “dancing with the stars.”

On Napping

Taking a nap at home to break up a boring Saturday: pretty nice.
Taking a two hour nap in your boss’ office to break up a slow workday: pretty awesome.

reblogging.
i have noticed that when others reblog, they write on the bottom.
when i do that, this weird line continues down the page, and you can’t tell if i wrote it, or the person before me.
so tell me, what is tumblr etiquette?
top or bottom?
(and yes, i will totally go back through all my posts. knowing that some were one way, and others not would not let me sleep at night.)

I’m sure he’ll wake up tomorrow and regret this, but this made my night!! I’m drunk also (you have no idea how long it took me to even type this sans mistakes), so it’s okay.

I met Katie Bakes for the first time last night, too. She’s awesome. It’s pretty cool...
