| in the off-chance you're wondering where i've been, i guess it's okay to tell you now. i've been on vox...
if you want an invite, i can send you one. just let me know.
i was keeping it on the down-low, because i know i have a tendency to
try to leave and then i just come back. but i've been there for awhile
and i definitely think it's more my scene. which is as gay as it
sounds. i don't know, i was always just a little too old for xanga, or
xanga was a little too old for me.
so, you can come visit me at wordsisfun.vox.com, and if you want to
join in on the exclusivity of it all, send me an email at wordsisfun at
aim.com and i will invite you. see you later!
p.s. i miss you, dear friends. i know you are all busy growing up, and
i'm glad. but do know that i think of you and smile. all two of you.

| did you know that i'm still on weight watchers? i bet you didn't. it occurred to me that i don't really ever talk about this weight loss journey i'm on. you know what that usually means in my life? that i've given up.
usually, i start something, anything. i get very excited about it. i'm gung-ho, as they say. i talk about it all the time. and then... i quit. and anytime the subject comes up again, i blush like a strawberry and try to sink into my chair and simply pretend that no! i never tried to do that one thing! i was never obsessed with it! you have most assuredly mistaken me for someone else.
not this time, buddy. as of my meeting tonight, i have lost 31.8 pounds. my sister, who started up in san francisco the week before i did (in october) has lost 55 pounds. sometimes this is discouraging to me, and i wish i was doing as well as her. but most of the time, it inspires me to keep going, to catch up, to make her as proud of me as i am of her.
i still, scary as it sounds, have at least 20 pounds to lose. she has about the same, but that's because she wants to get skinnier than i feel i need to be.
it also scares me that i've been doing this for eight months, and i'm only half way there. and then i think, "i've been doing this for eight months!" "and i'm more than half way there!"
which, for me, is an extraordinary thing. because i know that one day, whenever, i will be at my goal weight. and not only will i look super hot and feel like a trillion bucks, but i will also have come a very, very, very long way. it's not easy at all, losing weight. but i'm doing it, and i'm doing it well.
so. that's my update.
thanks for listening.

| tonight i:
>swam while playing dr. mario on gameboy advance;
>joined the pomona city lie-berry and checked out two books:
anansi boys by neil gaiman and a man without a country by kurt vonnegut;
>went to the claremont village and got a scoop of mint oreo ice cream for three dollars, and proceeded to walk around the village eating it.
this was excellent because:
>the swimming was relaxing, and body-temperature-lowering;
>i've been meaning to join that library for years since a.) we live in pomona (a requirement for membership) and b.) our l.a. county public library system is going down the tubes;
>i am too cheap to buy either of those books but have been meaning to read them for months;
>the ice cream was my dinner;
>there were families with dogs and children and scooters also walking (or scooting) around the village;
>the weather is a perfectly breezy 80 degrees.
today i:
>messed with my resume and applied for a new job while at work;
>um, that's pretty much it.
so you can see how infinitely superior tonight was, when compared to the meaninglessness of today.
p.s. i just found this picture of me and jared on our honeymoon. we are half-way through the bike ride down haleakala, the 10,000+ foot volcano on the island of maui. there is no tie-in between this post and the picture. but both are pleasing to me, so just smile and move on. and yes, we wore those outfits the whole ten days in hawaii. no, we are not wearing anything underneath.
thank you.

look what i made tonight:
it's called a mimi-moopy, and it's the first thing i've sewn in a long time. it's kinda tiny and it took me about 3 hours. it's my friend.
we also watched 3 episodes of the office, which is nice.
good stuff.
