Disjoint - Part 9
- I just realized my Strawberry Kiwi Capri Sun pouch tastes like the liquified version of my Jell-O. (Same flavor, but still.. whoa).
- There are two dominant breeds of pup I’ve met during my time in Austin so far: Dachschund and Corgi. They’re all so cute! This coming from a girl who just knows how to handle the bigger dogs. :)
- I was able to eat 2 slices of pizza today with no...

One Little Victory
I’m on my way to recovery, it seems! I’ve had a tummy ache here and there, which didn’t happen throughout the whole constant dryheaving/nausea part of my being sick (for whatever reason), but that’s okay! I’m eating more!
Yesterday I had: - A jell-o pudding cup - A couple of saltines - A slice of wheat bread with some nutella spread on it - A slice of wheat bread...
Kicking the "Why Me?" to the Curb
People like to feel sorry for themselves. If we can’t get anyone else to feel sorry for us, we’ll always have ourselves to do it for us. And, of course, we must have something to verbalize to go along with what we’re feeling and/or going through.
The slogan for self-pity is easily the, “Why Me?”
Sometimes it’s not even for pure self-pity. The “Why...

- Dood. I totally ate a cup of jell-o, like 8-12 saltines, and a small bowl of dry cereal today. This is more than I had yesterday. I hope I recover completely very soon!
- I used the shoe box from my new sneakers to organize all of my Texas receipts. I separated them into categories and then put each pile in order by transaction date while watching Hawaii Five-O. That’s good stuff.
- I...
So, There May Be a New Religion Starting Up
If it turns out the source of my week-and-a-half long illness is pregnancy (which would be craaaaaazy since I get no action whatsoever), then Colin suggested I should start a religion.
Of course! I’ve gots to milk that shit for all its worth!
Anyway, Colin said he would join and I asked him to help me write the holy text. This is what he has so far:
“and yea, on the day The Carla...
Disjoint - Part 7
I need to write a cohesive blog post one of these days, instead of just having blurbs. Meh.
I’m not feeling all that better, BUT I have not thrown up (yet).
I’ve been corresponding via e-mail with one of my friends back home. I miss her so much that her horrible grammar doesn’t bother me as much anymore.
I don’t think my superior gift wrapping skills have come with me...
Disjoint - Part 6 (Observations)
I don’t know what it is about the big cats with me. My mother’s maiden name is Leon (which is Spanish for lion), and in a way, it’s legally part of my name (SS card over birth certificate). My favorite Disney movie is ‘The Lion King.’ I was born on the Chinese year of the tiger. And some of my favorite sneakers are the Tigers. Huh..
I just realized I have no fool...

Disjoint - Part 5 (Pain Edition)
This isn’t easy to share, but I think about it a lot, so I may as well.
It seems I’m always the person that has to break news of deaths to people. Everything from the Croc Hunter to Michael Jackson (and then deal with the emotional response from the receiver). But there has been one death whose news I’ve had to pass along to my own father, and I hope to never have to deliver...
Disjoint - Part 4
Dear Texan Burger Kings, eating your items has made me feel physically sick almost every time. I think I’ll stay away from y’all for a while.
I just sent my friend the Products pages for the press kit I’m doing for her. I reeeeally hope she likes them. Now I get to get started on the rest of that beast.
I need to find a place where I can scan some of my artwork, including a...

Brainstorming
I think it’d be good to develop, or at least think of, a list of things to do when I can’t leave the house. I don’t mean a “rainy day” list of activities or anything like that, but a least a list of things to do when I can’t physically leave the house ‘cause I’m in no condition to operate the vehicle to the best of my ability.
I’m talking...
Disjoint - Part 3
- AIM is the best thing ever, innit? Gimme your SN’s, assholes!
- Even though I’m only using half of my apartment, I’m still glad I live alone. :)
- Even though I’ve been single for every Valentine’s Day, except for 4 or less, I still love it.
- I use my computer desk AND my new lap desk simultaneously, while nerding out on two separate laptops. SUCK IT!!!
- My...
