an epidemic

so first rachel zoe starts to look rather haggard. well, more like very haggard.

and now the girls she styles are looking bad too.

why are you doing this to our young hollywood starlets rachel? first you let them (or help them) get so super skinny, and then you let them go to a premier with greasy hair like brandon davis's and looking all cracked out? not to mention from what i can see that dress does not look all that cute.

License

so i got my new license in the mail on saturday. it obviously looks much more like me, aside from the fact that it makes me look tanorexic (see below).

really, i'm not that tan/orange. i don't know what happened. but i was at least looking forward to not having so much scrutiny put on my picture from when i was 16. i would finally be able to get in bars without the hassle. not true. on the first night i actually use my new license, i get just as much hassle as before. "what's your birthdate? what's your license number?" i mean i know i look like indian or something in the picture, but it's still a real ID.

UPDATE

so earlier i was talking about how no one at my office knew how to say my last name. yesterday in our team meeting we had to do these little mini introductions since we got a new girl. people were saying there first and last names. so i obviously said mine. the reaction: "wait, how do you say your last name?" i was like, "yeah, people tend to get it wrong. it's no big deal. it's been happening my whole life." but maybe now it won't be mispronounced quite so often. a small victory.

so cute


have you seen the pictures of gwen stefani and gavin rossdale's baby? i just saw one this morning. that kid is so cute. kingston looks so much like his dad. gwen's looking pretty good herself, for having a baby not all that long ago.

not sure if i'll make it

so i picked up this book on fasting the other day (juice and other types). and i've started reading it, and it's kind of got me wanting to try it. i've never really fasted before. well, except in high school once when we did some fast to raise money or something. but that was barely 24 hours. and to be 100% honest, i might have snuck a cookie or something that a friend gave me. so i'm actually wanting to try it. or slowly work my way up to it. when i was reading all these benefits you can get from it,it's hard to not want to even try. i don't know that i could make it though. like i'm sure for like one day i could do it. but for three days? that i'm not so sure of. three days surviving on nothing but juice would be hard, considering i've been getting even more hungry lately. maybe i'll try it sometime this week or weekend. i'll keep you posted.

new beginnings

so my friend and i are going to be starting a fashion blog. something new and creative for me to do at work, and something new and creative for her to do after work. as if i don't take my job seriously. hurtful... but who am i kidding. i will work on it at work.

it's too late, isn't it

so today my office had the birthday celebrations. they said my last name wrong. i've worked there for 3 1/2 months now, so i feel as if the time to correct someone on how to say it has passed. reminds me of that friends episode where chandler never corrected the guy in his office that his name wasn't toby, and then like five years later he still gets called that. except this is my whole office, not one person. oh well. at least no one uses my last name all that much.

as some may know, tomorrow is my birthday. i've noticed over the past few years that birthdays aren't quite as exciting as they used to be. all part of getting older i'm sure. last year was kind of miserable off and on throughout the day for reasons i will not write here. and this will be my first birthday when none of my close friends are around. and yeah, i know, the argentinian is here. but that's not what i mean. even though i have friends here, none of the people i've known forever are around. it's kind of weird. cause at least one of them has always been around. not that i think that it will be a bad birthday or that i'll be upset over it. i'm sure i'll be fine. it's just kind of different.

concert

so there was a free concert this weekend that i dragged the argentinian to. it was for flogging molly. he says he had fun, and i hope he did. though i know he really only went cause of me.
i know that the whole irish punk/folk music is probably a bit of an acquired taste, but he still went and did it with a smile on his face. we took a little bit of video. the sounds not always that great. but oh well...

sometimes i feel bad when i slack off at work. sometimes i don't. like when for the last 20 or so minutes i keep hearing a co-worker commenting on how she is trying to figure out if a character on blue's clues is a girl or boy. then i don't feel so bad about reading celebrity gossip on the company dime.

throw down at the microwave

so last week at work i was making my lunch. by making my lunch i mean putting some water in the cup-o-noodles cup. this lady sees me doing this, yet proceeds to put her bowl of rice in the microwave. i look at her, and i don't say anything, as i don't want to be known as the office bitch or anything. but she sees me just standing there the whole time she is microwaving her food. i mean shouldn't you ask someone if they are going to use the microwave before just plopping your food in when you see them with a microwavable food?

america's finest city?

yesterday at work, though it was a long day, was not all that bad. i think i wasted like half an hour talking to my boss and a couple othe rpeople in my little "pod". i really welcome any wasted time while i'm at work. that's partly why i am writing this blog now, as opposed to on my own time at home. it's more enjoyable when i'm not having to do work, and i am technically getting paid to write this blog (though my work just doesn't necessarily know it), if you really want to look at it that way. which i know is a stretch.

i slept at the argentinian's house last night when i wasn't planning to, and therefore had no clothes to wear to work in the morning. so i had to wake up at the ungodly time of 6:20 am to go home and get dressed so i could get to work at a time that i found early enough to hopefully make the day seem not quite as long. i think i'm going to miss the summer hours now that i can't have them. they didn't seem like that big a deal at the time. but now that they are gone, i think i'm going to dislike having to work until almost 4 pm every friday.

i can't believe that working is my life now. i mean my job's not that bad, and i get paid an ok amount. but sometimes when i think how this is what i'm going to be doing every day, except for like two days a week, for almost the rest of my life (or at least some really long undetermined amount of time), it makes me feel a little depressed. i don't know that i really want to be sitting in a cubicle my whole adult life.

today feels so blah

today has been going by so slowly. i got up at 6:30 am for one. so i've been at work since 7:15 am. just doing the most mundane tasks. every now and then i look around the little "pod" (my work's word, not mine) of cubicles, everyone has such a blank/bored look to them. at least i'm not the only one. also adding to my sense of blah, i checked my bank account this morning, and am shocked to see that i have hardly any money in there. well...at least after my rent check goes through. i mean yeah some of it got transfered to my savings, so i transfered some back. and i did go shopping and spend maybe a tiny bit too much. but still. at least i know i have $300 coming my way soon. that'll be nice. add a bit of cushion. i was doing so well with my finances. i probably just got over-confident in my saving ability. now i fear i will actually have to dip into said savings. so sad. because not only do i have bills to pay, but the added expense of buying a new tire since mine was popped by a mystery item on the freeway yesterday. i'm going to end this, cuase i'm just rambling off complaints pretty much, and that's lame.

and they're off

i went to my work's "day at the races" yesterday. i had always wanted to go to the race track (horse, not nascar), so i was pretty excited about going. while i had a good time, and it was fun and all of that, there was an awful lot of down time between each race. not quite as fast paced as it appears on tv or the movies. but i still had fun, and got free food and drinks. which is always nice. i didn't actually bet on any of the races either. i'm sure that wouldhave added to the excitment a little more, but i kind of like keeping my money so i can spend it on stuff like clothes or movies or going out (as opposed to practical things like bills, buying gas, and worst of all - food. i seriously wish my body didn't need food so i wouldn't have to waste money on it). there was a serious lack of people in the fancy hats and all of that which i always pictured would be rather abundant at the race track. though turns out it was probably cause we were in the area where no self respecting uber-rich person would probably hang out. walking out past the valet area i did see some people in hats and fancy dress.
