I had a massage today. It wasn't the best one I've ever had, but it also wasn't the worst. It left me more than a little... disappointed is the term, I think.

So, question: Is there no such thing as a bad massage?

A little pumpkin, a little cleavage, and a little love.

I received this pumpkin as a prize during a meeting yesterday (don't ask) and I love it so much. It's absolutely perfectly shaped and the stem is ... well, look at it! It's marvelous! I love it so much I don't want to carve it.

Ok. I have 100 days left. My goal is to not miss another day in that 100 days. No matter how hard it is, no matter how awful I feel, I'm going to try and post something. It may be boring as watching grass grow, but I'm going to try.

What I see when I look at this photo?
I need a serious waxing of the upper lip!!

Can it still be considered a 365 project if there are great chunks of days missing? Do I add up all the days I missed and tack them on at the end? Or do I just leave the holes and remember how hard it is sometimes to look at my life, even through a lens?

Loving the sunshine, hating everything else.

I'm in a serious slump here, and having trouble finding my way out of it. So much is going on, and I feel like hiding, but it's not doing me any good. So I'm thinking that maybe I need to go against my instincts here and do the opposite of what I'm feeling.

Yeah, that works for me right now.

Jenerrator's pick for FGR - Cocktails! I'm not quite sure how the "pantsless" factor got in there, but I KNOW it wasn't my idea. So, what the hell. It's her birthday, I had to oblige.

I can't believe it's only Tuesday. It feels like it should be at least Friday by now.

Generally speaking, I'm not a huge fan of poetry, but I love this book. I had to get another copy tonight because I can't find my hard-bound version at the moment. I was in the mood for Mr. Whitman tonight.

In CA.

Miss Thing back there was not fond of the music I had chosen, so she stuck her headphones in and started making faces at me when I kept turning up the volume in the car. No wonder she doesn't like me much. :o)

My birthday is going to suck something awful this year, I'm afraid.

OOOOhhhh, yeah! It's Friday. Big plans this weekend, leading up to my birthday next Saturday. Leaving for CA on Wednesday, but not before spending the weekend with some much-needed downtime.

My one and only true love Bruce got me a gift certificate to my favorite Korean spa, where I'm going to get several layers of skin scrubbed off. If you've never had the intense pleasure of a Korean Spa treatment, you need to find one and go there right now, do not pass go, do not collect $200. It's a treat that I've not found an equal for in ... well, ever.

My story is just like a million others. Nothing that hasn't been done to death many times over. But it's mine, and I own it. I take responsibility. And I'm ready for what comes next - whatever it looks like, smells like, tastes like. I'm no longer a detainee in my own life.

 
 

183/365: profanity prevaileth

My head hurts today. I'm attempting to cut caffeine from my diet for some strange fucking reason that I, at this very moment, do not fucking understand. I think I've lost my motherfucking mind. And my fucking head is about the split the fuck open and I'm none to fucking happy about it right about now. Fuckity FUCK!

Oh, and I went to the gym today and ran on the treadmill for the first time in over a month. I actually did pretty well - I ended up running instead of just walking, which I thought I'd be too out-of-shape to do. Of course, that was before the headache.

Shell gave me this book. I've enjoyed it, but it's more than a little twisted. I can totally get down with being tied up, but that's about as adventurous as I'm going to get. The girl in the story likes to be beaten, and I don't just mean a little slap and tickle - we're talking full-on belt whippings and whatnot. A bit much for me - but it's turned out to be interesting in the context of the full story.

If pressed to rate it, I'd give it 3 1/2 cat-o'-nine-tails out of 5.

We sat outside under the trees and next to a fountain and had a lovely chat yesterday afternoon for lunch. She was warm and glowing and funny. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks, D!

So, I'm away again. Palo Alto, CA. I'm at a conference for work, and so far it's been good. All higher-education types and whatnot. I met some lovely people this evening at the mixer. My favorite so far has been Andrew from Emory University. We could be best friends.

Tonight I hung out with some old buddies and learned to play Chineese poker? I had no idea what I was doing, but I actually won. Made me wish I hadn't pooh-pooh'd the idea of playing for money, dammit!
