i think i'm getting sick the way i was getting sick in l.a. i don't mind so much functioning all day with a little bit of a sniffle and cough here and there..it's the whole waking up and being sick that i hate. you know how you can't breathe and your head hurts and your chest hurts and your throat hurts and if you move the room goes round and round and round? ugh. even when it's beautiful and sunny out, i can't get out of bed if i'm sick. and i hate orange juice and everyone's telling me to drink it. HATE. yuck.

right now i'm watching cirque du soleil and the contortionist is grossing me out. how is it possible that her bones aren't broken from doing all that stuff? ewww..

wanna hear something cool? they built a philippine-american cultural center in southfield last fall. but that's not the cool part (i mean, it's cool, but not the cool part i was talking about). .....and now they're naming the street philippine street. cool, right? i thought it was a great gesture from the city government.

boo. my manager just asked me to stay til 9pm. figures. this stinks. i'm going out for a looong lunch involving shopping.

there's no one here at work...i came in yesterday at 9am, late, as usual, and i got the first parking spot next to the door. usually i have to park on the side of the building when i come in that late. and right now i'm the ONLY one on my side of the office. it's kinda lonely. i was all worried that i'd have to stay late and i'd miss seeing eric's new condo that he bought on tuesday. guess not...yay! i'm gonna go eat fast food for lunch cuz i'm sick of drinking all this water.

i think there are naked people running around ann arbor right now. that is, if the cops aren't being dumb and pouncing on naked people in order to arrest them. what if you were that cop patrolling naked mile? haha. i would NOT run after some naked person and take them out in order to ticket them for indecent exposure. run away, by all means. i don't want to see you naked. although, as a part of the umich experience, you have to go at least once just to see it. madness i tell you. i must admit that i'm grateful that i've never seen anyone i know running down south u in their birthday suit. that was a huge tangent. *sigh* my whole point is that an entire year has gone by since my last class, possibly ever. it's like i blinked and a year went by. it's funny how fast time goes by but doesn't at the same time and how easily people come in and out of your life but are still there for the important things. man...i wonder when we're supposed to get over this post-college bump into a part of our lives when we don't look back and see college as the best time in our lives...

i'm such a slave to marketing. specificallly, packaging.
my latest downfall: the grab and go cheetos cup.

ups: the top comes off to become a baby bowl for the snack so you don't have to try sticking your hand to get to those final cheetos. it's plastic and reusable if you're economical that way (i'm not...). since it's plastic, it keeps the cheetos from getting smushed during stressful transportation. and it fits in the cup holder in your car.

downs: waste of money. it costs almost two bucks when you can get a really big bag of cheetos for three. =( buy the cheapo ziploc bags and just be more careful during transit.

it's FRIDAY!!!...and it's quitting time. everyone go home or leave work and do something fun except it's raining so you'll have to stay indoors if you're in the detroit area. what a long week. i don't think i've been fully awake the whole time. have a good weekend!!!

Thursday, April 11, 2002


it is SO beautiful outside!!! i ran out to my car to grab something and IT IS SO NICE OUT. =) boo on working indoors. lorie got a rental car for work and for some reason they felt they needed to give her a convertible to drive out to three rivers...we're taking it out tonight. hehe. it's supposed to be like this all weekend so let's do something fun outside. ultimate anyone?

Wednesday, April 10, 2002


can someone please tell me why it is that some people are morning people and some people (ahem, me) are not? i've been having the hardest time getting out of bed and staying out of bed in the morning...not that i was ever very good about it, but it's significantly worse now. usually, i'll just have a hard to getting up. but once i'm up, i'm up. now it's to the point where i will get out of bed, shower, and then go back to sleep. WHO DOES THAT?! me, apparently. showers are supposed to wake you up...and after i finally get my butt out the door, i spend the rest of the day trying to keep my eyes open. i think there's something wrong with me. i need help.

good weekend. alvin is the designated blogger for saturday dinner, so let's see if we can break his comment streak at 8... ;D

i'm "working". i hate this..feeling completely not motivated to work. blah. i've done everything but work since i met with my manager an hour and a half ago. i feel like i'm auto-pilot. maybe because i barely made it into work alive this morning. i'm so tired...i spent the night battling for sleep with my stomach cramps. ugh. guys truly have it easier. must stay awake....my clie is low on batteries, so i can't play bejeweled. i think chrissy's a little bit addicted now....i think we got her hooked on the way home from miami. i feel myself beginning to ramble, so i'll stop myself. happy monday! =P

Friday, April 05, 2002


guess what i saw on my way to work today?

SNOW!!

hmmm...march comes in like a lion and out like a lamb?? april...showers?

Wednesday, April 03, 2002


alvin said he might blog today. *gasp* let's see if he comes through.

i spent from 7pm to 8pm tonight doing aerobics at my church with the 35 and over crowd. my mom wanted to go, and somehow got me to go with....i mean these people were hard core...they had the exercise mats, hand weights, sweatbands...the whole bit. i must admit that there's nothing like 76-year-old ladies hanging with the instructor to keep you moving...especially when they do the arm exercises with 5 pound weights where they make you hold your arms straight out for an eternity. *must...keep...arms...out.....old lady next to me can do it....i can do it...too.* haha...i exaggerate, although i was extremely impressed by some of these ladies. not that we were doing super high impact tae-bo aerobics, but i hope i'm in that kind of shape when i get to be their age.

seeing that i was able to do aerobics today, i think i've recovered from the whole dance mix experience. my groggy voice turned raspy almost sexy-connie-esque...but it's almost gone now. i was feeling a little like phoebe, especially when i busted out my guitar and tried to sing and play. i still am not very good at all at all at all....(smelly cat...)...i really need to take lessons. that's the only way i'll really focus and really learn, i think. it'd be cool to be self-taught in something, but i need to be real: i'm not disciplined enough to teach myself an instrument. that, and i'm too anal...i'm big on technique, and how do i find out what good technique is without an instructor? there is only so much a book can tell you. i think i'm gonna go cut my nails now so i can start working on my callouses.

exhaustion has led to possible illness. i've had that groggy voice thing going for the last 3 days....i'm contemplating whether or not i should use it to go home sick. if chrissy had gone home "sick" and met me for lunch, i would have. i think both of us had the guilt factor in the back of our minds, so i here i sit, in my cube.

i'm not sure if i need to iterate the large quantity of people in town this weekend. our daily visits to pizza house were always for a party of 30. yikes. i bet they love us and hate us. anyway..i was a little sad cuz i didn't get to hang out with everyone as much as i wanted to. it was so awesome that everyone came out for dance mix but then it had to be easter weekend and family affairs had to come first. so i guess this means we'll have to get together again soon, huh? ;D just tell me when and where. see? we should get together quaterly....and the way it's working, we're right on schedule. so i guess we're looking at the beginning of july? hehe...start saving you pennies! that's only three months away.
