for the last 2 months I have been on a wheat-free, sugar-free, gluten-free diet. reasons shall go undisclosed for now but it was not for the purpose of losing weight. and during this process, I think I learned that I have a wheat/gluten intolerance! I haven't lost any weight since I got on the diet but my tummy has never been flatter! those of you who know me well know that I get some kind of "immaculate conception" belly every now and then where for no good reason my tummy grows to the size of freakin 4 months pregnancy for a few days and is FIRM!! using my powerful deductive capabilities, since during these times I have never gained weight, just got bigger, the huge belly could have been attributed to GAS (NOT FLATULANCE, GAS!). anyway, two days ago, I fell off the gluten free wagon and ate something that included wheat and my belly grew for the first time in a while!! weird!!!
anyway, point being - those of you who seem to only gain weight in your mid section (like me!) and seem to grow and shrink from day to day - perhaps it is a gluten or wheat problem! WHO KNEW!!
in related news, I recently bought a gluten-free, sugar-free, wheat-free cookbook and am going to start trying to cook my favorite foods. it sounds really disgusting, I know. HOWEVER, I'm thinking my daily breakfast of scrambled eggs and cheese and daily meals consisting of beef and broccoli can't be a good thing for my cholesterol - or general health for that matter!
I know I always write about traveling in xanga but yet... I never travel! but I've been thinking, maybe it would be easier to do a domestic trip rather than something far away and exotic - like a 4-5 day trip or something. I'm thinking phoenix/nm/desert road trip or camping in the grand canyon or something like that - a nice natureful getaway...! but then I feel like those places might be kinda miserable to visit in the summer when it's like 130 degrees... who knows though - all I know is that I need to NOT go through another year without taking a non-family vacation! =) domestic vacation recs involving nature welcome...

- new role at work... YES promotion. of course it is mostly good, however no more 930 - 430 days with 2 hour lunches. ALAS!
- defected from nysc --> crunch. YAY!! finally consistently back at the gym.
- recent trip to miami... got a nice tan and got some SERIOUS r&r. good!
- moving to dumbo in may. GOOD BYE manhattan!! and, I have to say it - good riddance =P

| have you ever had the urge to have a serious conversation with a complete stranger? this weekend I decided to wake up early on saturday to get some coffee and, um, ooey gooey chocolate cake (10 points if you can guess where I was!) for breakfast. while I was sitting there reading the paper, these two hipster looking white chicks were sitting next to me and one of them goes, "I just don't get it! I mean, he was with me, fucked allie, came back to me, fucked allie again, came back to me, and then just fucked allie again last month! I mean, like, where does he get off getting jealous when I talk to ben??" I tell you, this conversation totally ruined the taste of chocolate cake in my mouth! I'm like... HONEY, you're dating a cheating, lying, jealous hypocrite, for the love of god LEAVE HIM before it's too late!! but I didn't say anything... I just ate my food really fast and got the f out of there. god it made me so upset though, poor girl. sometimes when I think I have it bad, god sends me a sign that tells me that I don't have it as bad as some other people!
in other news... I have a little bit of traveling coming up!! man we are finally coming out of the doldroms of winter and I am starting to become an active normal human again =) so... miami in april, cali in june, europe in the fall (hopefully!), something with the fam in asia prob around thanksgiving... AND, the grand finale... I convinced one of my hs friends to commit to going to AFRICA next feb/march. OMG!!!!! it's kind of sad when you wish a year would pass quickly but I kinda feel that way right now! ADDITIONALLY one of my other hs friends is going dog sledding in alaska next winter as well. um, count me in??? if you read about an asian girl who falls out of a dog sled and gets eaten by a bunch of huskies... well, don't laugh because it will be me.
hope everyone had a FAB st patty's day because I DID!! had many many beers, and I spent my first whole day in park slope and let me tell you my ass cant wait to move to brooklyn!! =)

| okay... this story about that freakin insane astronaut, it is CONSUMING me. I've read about 50 articles on it to glean every possible detail on how everything went down, and I was telling someone last night that I am so intrigued by the series of events that I'd like to write a short story to depict what I think went down... like an "inspired by actual events" story =P anyway, lets see, here are the facts... the whole story is a huge garbled mess and some things are incongruous, which i LOVE, but here is my take: - homegirl wore adult diapers to ensure that she could drive 12 hours straight without having to stop to use the bathroom: this to me says URGENCY. she could not spare 10 minutes extra to stop and pee! that's DEDICATION and DETERMINATION. on average in 12 hours, I go #1 between 2-3 times.... so this chick was sitting in like a half gallon's worth of pee and possibly some poo. god, her daiper must have weighed like 5 pounds. because if you do not have time to stop and pee, it must follow that you do not have time to stop and change your diaper! on a secondary level, I could take this fact to mean that she is DISORGANIZED... perhaps she left a little late and felt compelled to wear the diapers, otherise she'd be late... this also makes sense because I could see crazy people being kind of disorganized. (another funny not really related fact: australians call diapers "nappies" I read some article in a major australian newspaper. everything was very professional and journalistic sounding, until the sentence, "Police said Nowak made the trip wearing nappies so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate." I'm sorry but that is funny. - she disguised herself using a wig, trench coat and sunglasses: VERY PINK PANTHER! - she started crying and begging her rival for a ride after being refused and made a slew of weird and insane-sounding excuses for needing the ride: DESPERATION and EXTREME CRAZINESS - here are the items she was found with after she was caught:
- garbage bags: MURDER
- latex gloves: MURDER
- a buck knife: MURDER
- a meat mallot: weird but okay... TORTURE
- a BB gun: HMMMM..... now this is a confusing turn. beinging a bb gun is akin to bringing, say, a paint ball gun. you're not going to kill or truly main anyone with a bb gun, unless you shoot them in the eye at very close range, AND they happen to have very soft eyeballs. the worst you can do with a bb gun is like give them mild bruises or some shallow cuts. maybe a mild infection due to embedded bb's. this to me is my favorite part of the story - what is the purpose of the bb gun and what would it have been used for??? it is all just very very strange...!! and honestly one of the BEST parts of this story is the before and after photo. is this woman a modern day GOLLUM or what! seriously in her astronaut photo, she's like a happy well fed hobbit, and in her mug shot, she's this big eyed, pale skinned, thin and bony little animal. I love it!does she also wear a raggedy loin cloth?? I guess diapers are just as good. anyway, anywhere I can make a lotr reference is a good thing. I see the story as a mix between single white female and fatal attraction - but not as well executed... no one actually died (which is a GOOD thing) and it seems like nowak flipped out and screwed everything up after what looks like moderate amount of planning. GOD i'd love to talk to this women, she must be a TRIP! on a side note, it is even MORE interesting that her ass is an astraunaut! I mean, hello, lance bass couldn't make it into space but this loon could?! she'd murder all her fellow astraunauts! you'd think that given that astraunauts are subject to very confined spaces, many scary possibly deadly situations, and are out in SPACE where crazy or evil activities would go pretty much undetected, they'd screen their applicants on a psychological level a little bit better?! jesus NASA, whats up?! I am eagerly waiting her E! true hollywood special with baited breath..... | | |
| haypee new year peepo!!
what can I say other than it was a very very sloppy new year's eve... and that my only resolution is that I shall not get bombed or do anything stupid next nye. sigh! 2007 will be a BARF FREE YEAR.
that said, reflections on the previous year... it was a good year. my life is better january 1 2007 than it was january 1 2006. I'm happy, I'm healthy, and generally satisfied with life. which if you know me isnt always the case so it is a very good thing!
I guess I wouldnt call these resolutions, but in the next year, I'd like to move away from the financial district, learn how to relax better, take at least one adventurous vacation somewhere interesting, be less angry, waste less money, and .... clean my room!! haha! overall I just want to be a better person and do better things!
anyway hopefully the new year finds everyone well!! I have been MUY antisocial lately but I think I'm coming out of it now so I hope to see all yall sometime soon =)
