At the Warhol party, held in the LES at my favorite museum, the “Hell, yes!” museum (technically its name is the New Museum but … for obvious reasons, I call it the former.)
PS. My dress is by my favorite new designer, Chloe & Reese.

 I hate Julia Allison.  She is like Paris Hilton, famous for nothing.  Stupid.

Why do bitches with cankles wear ankle bracelets?

frangry:

The last thing you should be doing is drawing attention to the monstrosity of an elephant foot. Dumbass.

 Funny.

Do these cleanse diets really make you feel better…

So true.  I did the Master Cleanse for 4 days.  While I DID feel really good, my breath was rotten and so was my bum.  I may try it again in July.

zoee:

Or are people just really excited to eat by the end of it, so much that liver and onions tastes like filet mignon?

 I tried the Master Cleanse and was mainly interested in it for the purpose of self-observation and for the purification experience. It was supposed to last 10 days, but I only managed 7. Throughout the cleanse I felt extremely clear-headed and lucid, so I guess that was a plus. But I wouldn’t say it made me feel better, the only real thing I got out of it was the realization that I do not have to eat anywhere near the amount of food I normally did. I think with good fuel and lots of water, mixed with sleep and some exercise, the body is capable of fixing and cleaning itself of pretty much anything. You don’t need any special newfangled recipes - it’s been designed to clean itself best.

Maybe I won’t run this race…

I am so far behind in training that I am starting to doubt my normal optimism of any new project.  I hate to be a quitter, but I hate doing things half assed even more.  I have two weeks to decide if I will “re-commit” to TIT.

I am sweating like a pig just walking

I sweat walking slow on a medium incline.  I am scared for my race with me.

101 days to my 1/2 marathon

I also need to raise $2000 for Team in Training, a very worthwhile cause. 

I am out of shape and this is a huge personal challenge for me. 

I know I will complete the race.  But I also want to have a decent mix of run/walk and time.  I want to run more then I walk.  I don’t want to be the retard in the back.

I need to learn how to run

  • Amy: Can you train me outside, teach me how to run?
  • Mark: Um, yeah, but it is really easy, one foot in front of the other only faster...

103 days to my 1/2 marathon

So I am always looking for a way to challenge myself.  I am not a runner, but want to be one.  I want to challenge myself and do what most would think is an impossible goal for me-a 1/2 marathon. 

I am signed up.  103 days to go.  I simply want to finish, run at least half of it and not be the last person.  That’s it.
