And they're worried about my shampoo bottle and that I take off my
shoes? Deep frying a turkey at work and especially if you work at
Dullas International Airport is so freakin dumb and not to mention
dangerous. Gutting a fish at work a la Office Space sounds ok. It's
raw and you have a knife (can't remember if it's a big one or not),
but there's no risk of fire (that comes later in the movie). For the
workplace, it's best to stick to ordering take-away, making a
sandwich, or microwaving.

RIDICULOUS.

AUSTIN, Texas—After a man loses a challenge, whether or not he is willing to get back into the game depends on changes in his testosterone levels, according to new research at The University of Texas at Austin.
Robert Josephs and Pranjal Mehta, psychology researchers, examined why some men back down after losing a competition, while others choose to challenge their opponent again. Their research suggests the answer lies in what happens to a man's testosterone levels after the competition.

NEW DELHI - Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many Indian men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, an Indian study has found.
The history of El Camino Real and its bells, is quite interesting. At the same time that the American colonies were rebelling against England, a handful of Spaniards and Mexicans established outposts up the California coast. The first was established in 1769 at San Diego, when they established a fortress and a Franciscan mission

The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds
But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon

You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave
She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me"
But promises open the door to be broken to me

I really love Ben Harper. The lyrics, music, funk, rock...love it. I listen to Diamonds on the Inside regularly yet I haven't gone out to try any of his other stuff. Maybe next week.

As for my other music crush, Weezer, Rivers Cuomo especially, I ate up all of Video Capture Device: Treasures from the Vault 1991-2002. With and without commentary. He has or had a serious Asian fetish as showcased in Pinkerton. This came up in conversation a few weeks ago. (I myself sounded like a freak spewing my in dept knowledge of Rivers.) Across the Sea starts off with "You are and 18 year old girl, who lives in a small city in Japan." If you're familiar with
the rest of the song, you have to laugh at the fact that he validates that everything is ok since she's 18 years old. Then there's "God damn you half-Japanese girls, do it to me every time," in El Scorcho.
Gosh, this talk of Weezer is making me want to put Ben Harper to bed and listen to my Weezer.
Additionally, Pinkerton came out when I was a freshman in college. I need to get a life. Or I need to get new good music. ]
Any suggestions?
I saw some dude named Ben Lee a few weeks ago. Claire Dane's ex-bf. He didn't do it for me. And talk about self-promotion.

You still have til Dec 31st to see the Massive Change exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Admission was yesterday/Tuesday...I think...I hope...otherwise, I just stole from the museum. There is hope in turning around all the crap we're doing to our planet. We do need to make a massive change b/c as of now, we are taking a massive shit on our earth.

Is it odd to be a 28 year old female and think shopping is such a vapid activity that it makes my skin crawl and I want to run far, far away? It's not Michigan Avenue that makes me feel this way. It's a signature of Chicago. Tourists please come and pay the 10% tax. Lincoln Park, specifically, Armitage and Halstead, really tests my gag reflex. It's the activity of shopping and the people. I pity the men dragging behind their female companions. I really do. It hit me the other day while walking around with people I like. And the time before that, I walked around with my sister who is a fucking badass
and fun to hang out with. Those times I thought, hot damn, that was a total waste of my existence...I'm out of here.
watched Borat last weekend. initially, i decided that it was too
painful to watch all over again, but after calling several friends
"vanilla face" all week, i think there's a chance i could see it
again. especially with people who haven't seen it but want to...the
news articles i've read about the response to the movie have basically
mentioned the same thing. the one that stands out is about the frat
boys who are suing the production company...if you're an asshole
drunk, you are probably an asshole sober. and you have the same
asshole views regardless of sobriety.
btw, my mom overheard my sister and i talk about Borat...she mentioned
that it means something like "fuck you" in Tagalog.

Watched this performance this afternoon. Liked it. $15 a ticket is a
steal. The Owen, the smaller theatre at the Goodman, made me think
Shakespeare in Love and theatre in the round. I'm not a theatre
person so this might sound dumb. What the actors did on 1 set, with
the lights, music, etc, was cool. You really get a glimpse of what
the widow's frequent thoughts and regrets and their frequency are
like.
I heard something like this the other night:
"When I see an amputee about to be hung, I can't help but start

Kinda seems unfair that Lance will have former marathon champions
Alberto Salazar and Joan Benoit Samuelson, and Hicham el-Guerrouj with

Good luck tomorrow. Weather should be great.
Whoa, I just realized I didn't have coffee at work today. I guess I didn't have a chance to think about it when something from the previous shift is kinda fucked up and you have to fix it... and another kid's mom is crying about something.
Voice is hoarse. But it's so sexy. Minus the phlegm, of course.
My neck hurts and I don't have full ROM. And my good foot (compared to my post-marathon condition) hurts! WTF. Maybe I need to go back to the sports medicine doctor. I really enjoyed putting on their
disposable examination shorts...i swam in them.
Watched Marie Antoinette the other day. Great. I managed to squeeze in 2 naps during the flick. It did have a dance scene just like any teen movie. Not impressed. Lost in Translation is definitely S. Coppola's best movie. But it's interesting to present the teen queen this way. I was impressed that they showed a woman painting M.A.'s portrait with her kids...Le Brun is her name...one of the few female
painters at the time.
One more thing about Halloween. So, I dressed up as Mrs. Mia Wallace from Pulp fiction...red mark on my chest, syringe, wig, etc. However, the majority of the people from the party didn't get it. It must have been before their time. The older people, like me and the doctors, got it though.

Paris Syndrome? Yeah, sometimes part of it's charm is the people's
vulgarity. From the little I experience of Paris (1 week), I thought
they weren't any worse than people in Chicago, NYC, Boston, etc.
Trying to speak their language before, "Um, I'm lost... where is the
exit... does this crepe have jambon?" really helps. Also, if you are
waiting for store owners to kiss your ass, get real. Maybe at the
Infinity dealership. And maybe the aloofness of the sales people is
the French way of kissing your ass...giving you room to breath and
browse and answer your own questions by giving you time to think about
what you are asking.

KT and I ran this morning. I got a side cramp which means I need for
sodium when I run. More chips I guess. The chip selection outside of
Texas sucks. Proud to Run was good this year but we didn't get to
stay and watch ROTC (Righteously Outrageous Twirling Corp) or see Sulu
but they'll be at Pride Parade tomorrow.

Now add my rad current read, Phillip Roth's Plot Against America, and
maybe I can relax...and therefore no need to visit the Dram Shop for a
drink.
Don't call til 5. Please.
I'm still awake! I can't freakin fall asleep. It's from the Dunkin
Donuts coffee I inhaled at 3am to keep up with my patients. I feel
paranoid. I've been up for 18 hours.

So I'm watching David Lee Roth on the View...he's talking about being
an EMT. Didn't know he's from a family of doctor's (dad, uncles).
When I first saw the headline, I thought Fat America needed more
retail space. It's not the case. Designers aren't making fashionable
stuff for us to buy. I'm not even sure what designers make petite
stuff to begin with. I think my mom had an easier time finding stuff
at places like Petite Sophisticate. Anyway, this really pisses me
off. We aren't represented. Now I'll never find clothes. Then
again, the petite or "short" pants at JCrew, the Gap, and BR were
always 2 - 3 inches too long on me. What's a short girl to do? Is
this a trend or what?
One solution would be to give us short people an alteration allowance.
BR already has free shipping for petites b/c the only have the size
at certain stores. At JCrew, they tailor stuff for you for free with
regular priced purchases and for a few bucks on sale stuff...but I
think this is for just pants.
Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's — have quietly
eliminated or drastically scaled back their petite departments in the
past several months, infuriating many longtime customers

I don't know how they come up with this list, but Phillip Roth is on
here a lot of times.
When the novelty of my iBook and iPod pass, I'm getting Everyman, his
new book. Read the first few pages at the bookstore already.
Interesting enough, not only do you see cool gadgets and stuff in a atomic physics lab at Harvard, but you get to really see how cool and laid back the grad students are. Take this picture of the mullet man - this was from the Wall Street Journal. Below his head, and way past where his hair should have stopped, is a certification from an internet church allowing one grad student to marry people in Massachusettes.

Maybe PBR is great to soak in too.
Feta cheese whips up into a smooth, creamy spread when blended with olive oil in the food processor. The Greeks like to flavor it with garlic, mint and pickled peppers to make a piquant dip for pita bread. Serve it with radishes and cucumber spears for dipping, too.
1/2 lb. Greek or French feta cheese
3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 Tbs. minced fresh mint or 1 tsp. crumbled
dried mint
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, plus more as needed
6 Italian peperoncini (pickled green peppers),
chopped, plus more as needed
In a food processor, combine the cheese, olive oil, garlic, mint, the 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes and the 6 chopped peperoncini and process until smooth. Taste and add more red pepper flakes or peperoncini, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl. Makes 1 1/2 cups; serves 4.
