Interests: Besides my extreme addiction to Scrabble I'm a mind-numbingly bland person. I enjoy slow sarcastic wit and droning senses of humor. I somewhat possess these characteristics so people sometimes have trouble deciphering whether or not I am being serious. I love the arts. You can often find me in a museum, the art section of a book store, or simply staring at things and people out of admiration. I enjoy good flicks and fresh beats. I'm a health nut wannabe and compulsive liar..

What is your favorite part of your daily routine?

I really like putting my contacts in my eyes.

   

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Sometimes in the produce section, I find myself blindly sifting my hand around in the pinto bean bin.

Eye Contact and Crotch Adjustment

I've written about eye contact before. Here's a follow-up.

I've gotten much better about meeting new people. Just today I met "Tim", one of many new guys from sales. I met him when I was in the kitchen getting water. He was getting frozen girl Scout Cookies. A hand shake and a "Nice to meet you" and a "See you around, 'Tim'". Success.

However, there's gentleman whom I've yet to meet. I saw an approaching figure and turned to see who it was. We made eye contact, but as an added bonus he adjusted his crotch consequently at the same moment. Why is it that boys think it is acceptable to do such a deed in public places?

These Xanga pop-ups are driving me crazy. How do I get rid of them?

Isabel Got Tatted
this is old.. I never made this entry public.. but just to let you know I'm still alive and kickin'...I give thee post ;)

KIDDING! It's just a henna tattoo. I dig it. It wears off in a few weeks. Nevertheless I still feel like a badass. My yoga instructor treated us to jasmine tea, date and pistachio wheels, and tattoes to round off the end of our yoga course. It was the best final I had ever taken!

 
The black stuff is the actual henna herb. It was piped onto the skin. It looked like chocolate! The yellow is the stain peeking out.

peeling it off was fun.


it got darker after two days

I was at Best Buy yesterday and the guy helping my asked if it was real. I told him it'd be gone in about two weeks. He scratched at his tattooed forearm and said, "Yeah..I can't rub mine off." I laughed and told him I didn't have any real ones yet.

A henna design for a permanent tattoo would be nice I think. However for now I think I'll go down to my local international store and pick up a henna kit.

I was mailed a sample carton of tampons when I was about fourteen. I hid them away like they were sin sticks.

Alright... so I'll be at work until 5 which gives me a significant amount of time to blog...however, I don't think I have anything interesting to say. *all viewers sign off here*

Faces I Love to Look At

(when I'm having an ugly day...)

             I think we can all relate to feeling like we've been beaten with an ugly stick. I felt that way waking up today. My face is a good indicator of how well I slept through the night. However instead of having the "well rested look", I look a lot like a yellow Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. My eyes get puffy, my face looks bloated, my lips grow to a size that would totally tank Angelina Jolie's pillowy mouth.

              Plastic surgery. No no, I'm not considering it. After an hour or two, my face deflates and I look like myself again, but within those few hours I keep from standing next to people far more attractive than myself. Sure, it sounds dumb and shallow of me to do so, but it's for my own good. It will just kill my already belittled self-esteem. I also like to consider then following plastic surgery travesties for an ego boost:

Steve Erhardt has had 30 + procedures, including pecs implants. They look kinda tranny.

Jenny Lee was featured on an The Oprah Winfrey Show on an episode entitled Obsessed with Perfection. She was GORGEOUS before all the surgery.

Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace is not only creative on the runway, she's very creative on...her face.

My personal favorite is Jocelyn Wildenstein. I'm not sure what she's famous for besides her extremes in plastic surgery. She has affectionately been dubbed The Lion Queen.

 

 

 

*Sigh*..I feel so much better.


             I had a random tidbit a few posts back regarding the dumbness of bottled water, concluding that the use of reusable bottles was definitely a way to help the environment. Well I purchased a bottle. I carry it with me, trying to keep tallies on how much water I get in---which was the original reason of getting one. I brought it to school one day and my teacher stopped me mid-sip and told me my bottle was poisoness.

             Mr. W. is quite silly and I really can't tell when I should take him seriously. "Yeah.. the bottle is made of plastic that leaches poison into your drink. What is that water?" I say, "Yes..." and he goes, "Water is very good for you," to which I replied, "Not anymore."

           So I did some research and found out that some recycled plastics are terrible for humans, especially young children. The chemicals in it mimick the effects of hormones and can effect growth and development in a very bad way, causes breast cancer in women, exposure in the uterus to babies may contribute to the baby's obesity later. After reading this I freaked out! However, I soon found an article that answered my worries. It listed #4 LDPE (which is what my bottle is made of) as a safe plastic. Nonetheless, I am now in search for a glass or stainless steel bottle.

           Though more studies are being made on the topic, I don't understand why this doesn't put more people into action. I think even the littlest skepticism should be enough to knock the bottles off the shelves, but according to this current article, Wal-mart is waiting until NEXT YEAR to remove them. What's with the wait?!

             I feel pretty raped by this issue. I was only trying to do something good. I duely wanted to take away from America's Fat Stat by becoming more health concious and also wanted to help the earth (in my own little consumerism way). This is ridiculous.

Megan Fox was crowned The Sexiest Women Alive by FHM. She seems a bit ditsy and full of herself, but she deserves it. Everytime I see her I run to pluck my eyebrows/ do a few crunches/ consider never leaving my house again.

Kankle
            I've been watching what I eat and exercising every single day since April 1st. Within the first two weeks I lost eleven pounds-which is great! However, what the hell happen all throughout last week? I lost not a thing. Did I not work just as hard? Aside from the setback, I feel great and more energetic and more aware of my body- I find I even engage my abs when going through a left turn! HAHA!

             Obviously I can't do this without the help of a food journal. I started logging my eatings today. Hopefully this will be just as effective as my journal from last year. Hopefully it'll be the last time I need one.

             Nicole and I went to MFAH (The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) for the Pompeii exhibit. It was an enjoyable experience. I found it intriguing to learn about how those people died, and was fascinated by the preservation of everything due to the lava and ash of the erupted Mt. Vesuvius.

               After the Pompeii exhibit, Nicole and I needed to pee. Our quest for bathrooms led us to Miwa Yanagi's Deutsche Bank Collection. It was awesome! I was so happy we happened to peek in there! I am a huge fan of art, but it really takes a lot for me to be moved by artists and their work. I don't like just anybody.

                 However, I was truly floored by Yanagi's work. The collection was a series of photographs enlarged onto giant pieces of Plexiglass. The collection was set up radially. The first ring was a series of colored photographs, which were beautiful! The photos had poems and quotes by Yanagi.

 
Elevator Girls

            The second ring in the collection housed black and white photos called the Fairy Tale series which depicted fairy tales with a twist. In the middle of the room was a black tent. Viewers were able to enter the tent to watch a video. The video was quite entertaining!

Miwa Yanagi is easily one added to my (short) list of favorites. I thank my bladder for a day well spent!

Random Tidbit of Her Brain

It's really easy to think about the lawlessness of the world. However, sometimes when I'm driving I think about swerving aimlessly in front of an oncoming car or slamming on my brakes in the middle of a green light. I could if I wanted to, right? It would be easy to let go completely, yet keeping with the grain is so much better.

This was a boring post..
