sometimes i'm just like, "god tomorrow's going to be an ugly A1" and i just feel terrible for everyone who subscribes to the paper. and then other days i'm all "man, i feel sorry for everyone who isn't gonna get a copy of the breeze tomorrow. tomorrow's edition is the shit." today i feel like the first one. | | Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 | | 7:57 pm |
icey five -- songs that are completely and always stuck in my head for about three days now: 1) she and him - bring it on home (to me) 2) calvin harris - merrymaking at my place 3) queens of the stone age - feel-good hit of the summer 4) the xx - basic space 5) future - cleaning out my hard drive | | Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 | | 3:53 pm |
i'm spending my time at work applying for peace corps instead of doing my work. sigh. oh, and getting yogurt later. one day i will be king of the AP. | | Monday, August 17th, 2009 | | 11:40 am |
i'm so tired of having days off. i mean i like seeing my friends but it gets unproductive. today is the last of these days off ... then i work three days ... then i have the 21st off, but that day will not be unproductive because i will spend it teaching at el camino. i need to buy a jump drive so i can upload my lesson plan onto it. ugh. so, list of things i have or should do today + go to lunch/whatever with sarah + grab the newspaper for my parents + maybe get that jump drive. i really only need like 1g of space. how much can that cost? like $5? considering a 10g now is $20. can you believe that? i remember i paid like $15 for my 1g. and i remember when 1g was unheard of, and the highest you could go was 256mb. + read more of jonathan strange and mr. norrell that's probably it. i'm getting a lot of harebrained/hairbraned ideas these days, such as + starting an electropop band [even though i hate that kind of music] that will seriously blow up big among the underground kids, and then we'll get invited to play the big festivals + going to art school in the UK. everyone i hear who fucked up in high school in britain ends up "getting put" in art school because they had bad grades. and here in the US, art school is like, a big deal. well i'm not good enough at drawing to go to US art schools but i think my ideas have potential so if i can just skip portfolio exams and go straight to the heart of the matter i think it would work out. or maybe i just want to go live in the UK for a while + peace corps, duh... oh shit i forgot to go to that peace corps seminar that was on saturday. whoops. + just pretty much anything to avoid having a normal yuppie life for a while. it's fun for a year but man gotta get out. of course i am so used to living like a high-roller [for a 22-year-old whose idea of high-rolling is simply not looking at her bank account ever, except for this week obviously] that i will HATE living like a pauper again and that is what you need to do for a while, i am sure sorry, i've been sprinkling my speech lately with "duh," "of course" and "obviously" to make it sound like i'm a know-it-all even for things that don't apply. | | Friday, August 14th, 2009 | | 1:18 pm |
i like simple foods like cheeses and peanut butter 'cause i can't cook, and so when i forage the fridge for breakfast it's usually very simple. like this morning i am eating peanut butter between two tortillas, and some cheese. it's great. i love days off. obviously everyone does, but mine are so slothful and disgusting. did i mention i spend my days off wearing as little clothing as possible? it's nice to be so free. and i try to spend my days off doing as little talking as possible. talking is such work. so today, i have, or will plan to: + get fashion notes from noel fielding [have and will continue to do] -- he looks too much like a pale, goth roger daltrey around the face for my tastes (i try to reason that other great folks have that roman nose, john lennon for example, but like i said, roger daltrey really sticks out in my mind) but his style is magnificent and he's a funny fellow, so i've adopted him lately as a muse of sorts. him and wimpy, from the popeye cartoons. our historian at the breeze said he liked wimpy because the only thing he worried about was eating hamburgers -- nothing else. and really, i think that's the type of lifestyle to have. + eaten "breakfast [have] + go shopping for clothes and makeup despite my sum of $85 in my checking [will plan to] + take another nap [will plan to] + read more of jonathan strange and mr. norrell [will plan to] + buy sierra flower seeds | | Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 | | 10:18 pm |
ok. this is the last time i'm using klonopin for at least two weeks. i can feel the addiction setting in. no kidding. today i woke up and was like, feening for it, which was a little scary. also, this is the last time i'm using DXM until like, forever. it's gonna fuck up my brain. promise? maybe. but really though i gotta cut this drug lifestyle out, except for all the stuff i have not yet tried/have tried once, which includes: + coke + piracetam + e + shrooms + most other psychedelics luckily, i can't get a hold of those things very easily, so we're OK i think. it's a shame i don't like alcohol much. anyway i haven't many parties to go to lately so i won't need my drugs for a while. after my two weeks or so are up, i'll start on the piracetam. | | Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 | | 9:34 pm |
nicotine, ambien, klonopin, marijuana, DXM and alcohol ... c-c-c-c-c-cocaine. | | Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 | | 9:42 pm |
CAN'T I JUST BE AN ECCENTRIC FOR A LIVING? A LA GREY GARDENS? A LA FAILED ART SCHOOL NERDS? CAN'T I JUST BE A WOMAN OF ALL TRADES, DJING HERE AND THERE, BEING A FREELANCE COPY EDITOR, HELPING OUT COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH THEIR NEWSPAPER CRAP? A CHARMED AND ECCENTRIC LIFE! WITH THE COOLEST FASHIONS ALL ABOUT! I ASK YOU! | | 3:32 pm |
one day i'm probably going to go on a klonopin binge and decide, "you know what would be a good idea? going to england. and living there. and turning into an asian english-woman." and then i would just go. and find a job at a pub or a record store. and make a living there. a real quaint living. and then maybe i'll find some dashing exotic brit to take me in his arms. very "matchpoint." you know. except someone hotter than jude law or hugh dancy. maybe like a nerdy daniel craig. and then we would certainly have a whirlwind romance. and it'll be just marvellous. we'll go to all the jazz shows together. of course, then something terrible will happen and i'll come back to the states and i'll have a madonna fake accent, but it'll be real. mmmm how i love my tea and toast and beans for brekkie. maybe i'll be a writer there, and i'll entrapment some real looker. and then i'll come back to dylan in my arms. and it'll be fantastic. a fantastic life. i'll start a publishing company. a letterpress of sorts. sigh. and a real power luncher at that. miss you all. i'll be off to chicago for a few days starting thursday but don't you worry, postcards forthcoming, fellow postcardos. | | Monday, July 13th, 2009 | | 6:57 pm |
i got a to-do list as well. sigh. a lot of work changes, responsibilities and such make it so i actually have extracurricular shit to do. • organize my paperwork for work • pack a reporter's notebook. i need one again! • doctor's appointment at 10:30 tuesday • come in to work early tuesday in order to: + set up my wire queries + find some bookends or something to put old proofs in + and someplace to put pens + print out dummies for inside designer/wire ed very happy i sent out all my snail mail, just in time for this crazy week. | | Sunday, June 28th, 2009 | | 4:42 pm |
posties update
hello everyone who wanted me to send them a postcard: i sent them in the mail yesterday! let me know if you receive them. if you don't get them within the week, i will cry tears. and the offer still stands: if you would like to trade postcards with me, let me know! coughevancough. | | Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 | | 3:11 pm |
1) i'm not sure about the whole romper look. but oh well. whatever works, as that woody allen film. -- which frankly, doesn't look like it works. i was excited about larry david being in it, but i prefer my woody allen movies to have woody allen in it and not his doppelganger. 2) too excited about sending postcards. i already said this on twitter, but if you want to trade posties with me, let me know! even if you live in the south bay. that would be a scream. but i love postcards. GAH. 3) i'm probably so excited about life because i had a bunch of caffeine. 4) so i tried signing up to be a judge in the 31st annual SND (society for news design) competition, but i f'ed up. you're not supposed to sign up until july 1. and i was all "i'm new to judging! i've only done JEA/NSPA competitions! sorry!" and they're all "you can't even do this right, n00b." whoops. anyway, it's in syracuse, NY and really i just want an excuse to go to syracuse. why do you think i'm going to buenos aires for SND's conference? hello. i mean i love news page design but i mean perks -- even though i have to pay for it. i wish i had other friends in SND though. :( 5) i was SO WORRIED about gov. mark sanford's disappearance. i really thought he had died! but turns out no, he was just mistressing about. now i feel a fool. well, i'm glad he's not dead! because when you disappear in the woods ... that's like, just asking to be killed by bears or somesuch. i told my slot that and she laughed (probably at, not with) me and then said i was "very sweet" for thinking that. i wish we had a TV in the newsroom -- we don't, can you BELIEVE that?! -- i bet all the networks are having a time with this. poor confused fellow. 6) excited about trips and parties and events and such. a few here and there. i finally get to see jesse after like, years. going to lollapalooza. going to buenos aires SND con (if i can get my vacation time set up, which is probably a yes). going to sarah's wedding, which is only in LA, but i'm a bridesmaid (!!!) so yaey pretty dress. 7) and i am HANKERING, DYING to go to vegas but haven't yet found the time nor the travelfellows. but perhaps i should slow down on the travel this year. | | Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 | | 3:34 pm |
boo hoo body image
i'm sad i've gained all this weight, but mostly because i can't buy vintage clothes online when they're on sale [since my weight goes up and down so quickly, i can never tell when anything will fit me]. talk about shallow! meanwhile i've been drinking beer and coffee and jamba juice and have been eating like a crazy. people keep bringing in treats and chocolates. oh well. i guess like steph says, you only live once. sigh! certainly though i miss my fitter days. working in a newsroom is not conducive to being healthy. i can't wait until the weekend. gaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. | | Thursday, May 7th, 2009 | | 3:47 pm |
this ativan is kicking my ass. i took the equivalent of 2 mgs of klonopin, which i can geenrally handle, but not only am i SLEEPY ... i feel really slow. carefree, though and that's what counts. yikes!! cut my hair into a weird '80s bouffant thing that isn't too '80s as much as it is just fob. will color it purple/red later. such incidents call for such measures. | | Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 | | 9:34 pm |
drugs post
 look at all that, you guys. they found all this pot in LB. and it's all going to waste. sigh. if i were the photographer i would have killed myself. some of these photos are so detailed. i was like this pretty much the whole time i was on the same drug. there was saliva everywhere. fond memories. 'did you know there are FIVE different kinds of chairs in this hotel room?' | | Thursday, April 9th, 2009 | | 4:52 pm |
1) oh, the ramifications of tweeting/facebooking 'he's never ever ever gonna wipe his butt,' and then your co-worker going up to you with such confusion and a little more than disgust. sigh. 2) nothing like a bar of k to start the day. 3) DN f'ed up ... here's the enlarged photo i captured, with the obvious fake beatles:  | | Friday, April 3rd, 2009 | | 4:55 pm |
you christianies will like this. i do too, actually. guilty as charged!! | | Saturday, March 28th, 2009 | | 11:41 pm |
not going to merced. whatever. everyone is the pits at work! people who took the buyout are grumpy. urf urf urf. at least walter and thom stole me some chinese biscuits from the mongolian bbq. we got in trouble for talking too much. ha ha. just like elementary school! i'm spending the next couple of days making zines, sleeping, reading, repairing clothes and drinking tea. paying bills. etc. sensei also gave me a huge bag of clothes, so i'll be going through those, too. ta da! | | Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 | | 3:46 pm |
real power lunchers-in-the-making ask for exorbitant salaries. this is a one-way trip to wrapping up my chicken ciabatta, no mayo, and having my assistant take it with me back to the office. and real power lunchers settle for a pay cut. right? especially if it's with a really good paper? with good, clean design [even cleaner, i must say, than our new redesign]? lost cost-of-living. i might as well be making the same amount. right? | | Thursday, February 26th, 2009 | | 3:18 pm |
we're doing this at work [from the sac bee]: SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Try this magic trick at your layoff-weary workplace: Make dollar bills appear out of nowhere by simply passing the hat for a collective shot at Friday’s $171 million jackpot. If nobody wins Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot — it’s played in 12 states - the new jackpot is expected to exceed $200 million. With each successive lottery game in which the big prize is not awarded, the prize grows, drawing in more casual players. How’s that for a stimulus plan? “We are firmly in the range of lotto fever,” said Alex Traverso, a spokesman for the California Lottery. “It’s the casual player that comes out when the jackpots get (this) large.” A $1 move to easy street is the lure for many Americans facing layoffs, pay cuts or work furloughs - even if the odds are astronomical. Who doesn’t want a chance to be like the 15 Shasta Lake, Calif., educators who earlier this month -- after years of playing their lucky numbers -- cashed in on a $76 million winning ticket? It’s disputed whether a down economy produces more lottery players or fewer. Traverso said an economic jolt to consumers -- as when gas prices spiked last year -- hurts sales, but a big prize can counteract that. “If they aren’t going to AM/PM to buy gas, they aren’t going inside to buy lottery tickets,” he said. Years of data help officials predict just how hot lotto fever will get. This current prize is big, but it’s less than half the $390 million jackpot awarded by Mega Millions in 2007. “Everyone has this image of the person who spends their last buck on a lottery ticket and wins the jackpot,” Traverso said. “That usually plays out better in the movies than it does in real life.” |
