Jethro: Next stop was an unexpected one, New York!
Ok, we're not in New York, that would be a crazy route.
This statue of liberty is actually in Odabia, Tokyo! oh yes folks, we're in Japan!
Jethro: The time between deciding to go to Japan, and leaving, was only slightly longer than the time between leaving and arriving. 25 hours of travel took us on an unexpected detour from our intended route south (which was a path through Malaysia/Singapore/Indo). Due to plans changing for Peach's birthday, we had an extra month to spend in Asia, before heading to NZ/Australia. With monsoons ruling out other extra destinations, we found the excuse to go to the mega expensive but mega exciting country we didn't think we would do in this trip. Japan! And first stop, Tokyo! After Japan we will rejoin the Singapore/Indo/NZ route, and then do Australia after NZ.
Peach: It took a total of 25 hours to travel from Penang to our Tokyo hostel, including a night bus to Kualar Lumpur, a train to the airport, a flight, and another train, and a taxi – the taxi's (with the auto opening passenger doors) have a really cool retro style to them . We arrived at 12:55am and the reception was open until 01:00am so that was close! The hostel was pretty decent though, absolutely spotless with excellent showers and comfy beds. The budget won't stretch to a private room in Tokyo (very expensive!) so we stayed in a dorm, but it was very private with out bunk bed area curtained off from the rest of the dorm. After a good 10hours of recovery sleep we headed out to forage for Japanese food and made it about 2 meters to the restaurant next door and had our first taste of super amazing Japanese noodles! The restaurant was ace, the kitchen was open and we sat on the bar facing it, everyone including the chefs wave hello when you enter and waves goodbye and it was just a really good atmosphere.
Jethro: Our first taste of Japanese food was quickly followed by a visit to Akihabara district, AKA ELECTRIC TOWN. The place where Japanese videogame culture is –
Peach: Toilets! Ok, so some people might not find toilets a very interesting subject, but within minutes minutes of arriving in Tokyo I was absolutely blown away by the amazingly sophisticated (and rather complicated) modern toilets that we have found are common – even public loos here. They genuinely require instructions on how to use the self cleaning, heated seats, 'flushing noise' (intended for added privacy in public toilets) and washing and drying functions built into each loo, and some of them even lift the lid automatically when you enter a cubicle. Fair enough not all toilets have all buttons, and they don't all have instructions, but they are pretty amazing
[End of Interruption]
Jethro: Back to Akihabara! This is the most popular otaku District, which is what many would assume all of Japan is: Manga, video games, and sexualised weirdness. Game shops ease you in on the first floor containing regular games and comics, get weirder on higher floors as the anime girls get sexier and the collectables get weirder, and eventually scare you off with a top floor of guys playing yugioh style card games surrounded by blatant pornography.
We weren't brave enough to go as a couple to the "Maid Cafes", where cute Japanese girls dressed as sexy maids wait on tables. We'd heard about the one where, if you could chug a jug of something in one go, the maids would slap you (that's a prize??). We were not ready for that level of Japan. We mostly checked out the awesome arcades and collectables shops. A seven storey electronics shop was awesome to explore too.
That first night however, we pushed the Tokyo craziness as far as we could. I had booked seats in what I like to think is Tokyo's version of watching a West End show in London. Never say I'm not cultured or romantic, I take my girlfriend to the best shows there are. It was time for the ROBOT RESTAURANT!
Peach: One of Jethro's classically crazy ideas was to go to the Robot Restaurant (yes, it's a thing) and see a robot show on our first evening in Tokyo. Like the rest of Tokyo, it was flashy, crazy, and a whole lot of fun! The photos didn't really work out because of the lighting but this video captures the crazy perfectly…
[Video coming soon because Snapchat won't let jethro save it]
The robot restaurant was near a modern and flashy district called Shinjuku, which I had read about and really wanted to go look around before the show. As with the rest of Tokyo we kind of wandered around in a bit of a daze, soaking in the sky high towering buildings covered in neon lights and beautiful scripted writing. We had some more Japanese food, this time it was mixed with Chinese influence and was ramen (noodles and stuff in a clear and flavoured broth) with wontons. Again – very delicious!
Jethro: We were walking around a really cool park ("Chiyoda", with gardens and the imperial palace etc…) and stumbled into a level of Mario kart. It was this stone fortification thing, but was obviously the inspiration for bowsers castle level on the video game. A curvy wide pathway wound it's way up. We ran up it, pretending to drift around the corners. It was weird in another way because when the wind blew, it made really loud and beautiful ghostly music sounds. There was a beautiful Japanese style garden, and after viewing several more since we have decided that Japanese style gardens are our favourite in the world ( excluding Vance Gillgren gardens of course (; ). They feel miniaturized, and are both clean and tidy but still feel wild and natural. We didn't actually find the imperial palace as the park was soo big, and peach was still unable to do too much strenuous while still sick and on her drug cocktail.
It was very cool that the one and only Greg Donohoe was in Tokyo while we were! We actually stayed an extra couple days so we could meet up. Was brilliant seeing a UK friend after so long travelling, and we did all the Japan classics like conveyor belt sushi, streets packed with neon signs, sake, and karaoke. Cheers Greg + friends, was an absolute blast! (:
Peach: The busiest crossing EVER is in a district called Shibuya. When you see images of 'busy' in films or on the television or of Tokyo in general, it's probably this busy road crossing that you are being shown. It's right next to probably the busiest Starbucks ever which has a great view of the crossing. We decided on a cafe facing Starbucks instead (L'Occitane) which looked a teeny bit quieter where we ate and drank rose tea and watched the crazy amount of people cross the crazy busy road over and over. Naturally, we crossed it a few times ourselves and took selfies. Not because we needed to go anywhere, but because we wanted to be a part of it.
Jethro: At one point people dressed like Mario characters careered over the crossing in Go-Karts. It looked amazing! But was sold out online for weeks and you needed a Japanese/International driving license. ):
We also went to the national Museum of emerging science and innovation. It was Ok, with a bit of a kids/cheesy interactivity focus. There was some very in depth science thrown in too, maybe the average Japanese person knows more than we did, because it was hard to follow. They had a cool directional audio demo, a marble model of the internet, and "Asimo", that robot from 10 years ago who was going to change the world.
He came out of a small box where he's stored now, and did a scripted run around. He kicks a football and it's a hell of a shot, as fast as your average human could kick a ball. I kinda felt bad for him, like a band that has a famous one hit wonder and then finds themselves doing tiny gigs in pubs 10 years later. He still got a nice round of applause.
Another place deserving a mention was Shimokitazawa, which is Japanese hipstertown. Vinyl record shops and secondhand clothes shops mingle with homemade cafes that are actually converted living rooms. We tried on some second hand kimonos and yakata and tried to convince ourselves that there was space in our backpacks.
After 5 days in Tokyo, it was time to head for the hills! We were aiming for a loop around the Japanese Alps. First stop, Matsumoto!
P.s. Did you know some restaurants here have vending machines where you order? Japan!

Story of Kim 7: No Sleep At All
I wasn't sure how long I had before Edward made it back to the house, or if, in fact, he was coming back. I couldn't help, though, so I went back inside to wait for the next episode of weirdness to occur.
Janiece and the dope smokers left somewhere around 3am, I guess, and Tiffany and I were finally alone. We talked for a while, me mostly listening (again), and drank a little wine. Somewhere around 5am, things started to get...amorous...
I remember this, and I remember thinking that I could probably "have" this girl if I wanted to. And maybe it was the pot, maybe the events of the evening, but I began to wonder if...if I wanted it.
See kids, while Tiffany told some entertaining stories, she had run through her entire catalog in two and a half nights of what I now recognized as high-speed chatter. I might have been oversensitized by Kim, but I began to doubt whether or not I could actually see Tiffany on a regular basis--and once she started telling me the same tales of Zozobra, I realized I was in for trouble. She was into me, and I was already flinching at the sound of her voice.
Thus, the seed of doubt was planted, or maybe it gestated from a seed of attraction too swollen and hungry to be wholesome. By the time the door burst open, admitting a wild haired and red eyed Edward, I was positively glad for the interruption.
At the time, Edward was doing a lot of "mixed-media" art, and being basically unemployed, found his media wherever he could. This meant that he had a habit of picking up anything shiny that crossed his path, so by the time he'd walked to my house, all of his pockets and both of his hands were completely full of, let's face it, junk. Upon his entry, he sat in the floor and began sorting his plunder.
I decided I'd had enough of just about everything. I informed Edward that I wasn't in any shape to take him home this evening, and since Tiffany was probably going to stay for a while, I'd lend him my blankets so he could sleep on the couch in the living room. I could tell this didn't go over very well, but there was no way in hell I was going to risk a drive to Edmond at that hour, and given all the craziness of the evening, I didn't feel I could ask Tiffany to take him home.
So off he went to the living room, and back she and I went to kissing without taking clothes off. I knew that by sunrise, she would be gone, and I could avoid her calls thereafter. In the meantime, I tried to stay on the right side of the line, sexually.
I think everyone has a few emotional triggers buried in their libidoes. Simply put, you don't do "this" unless you feel "that," and "that" is generally all wound up in what you think your partner (or partners) is feeling. It's a pretty inefficient system, but not an easy one to streamline. My situation was simple: I felt like if all we did was kiss, or at least, if no major sexual activity occurred, I could be OK with never talking to her again.
So I felt like I was finally on top of things, so to speak. Crazy people were either gone or asleep on the couch, warm girl in bed, but not going to stick around. Out of beer and wine, but almost sunrise, and was I ever ready to go to sleep.
Thus, I was pleased when Tiffany noticed the brightening in the windows and headed out to start her car. I was less than pleased when she came back and asked where Edward was. Edward was gone.
Well, shit. I kissed her goodbye, checked all the obvious hiding places in the house and in the back yard, and figured he'd walked down to the payphone and called a ride. Time for a well deserved nap.
Approximately 2 minutes after my head hit the pillow, there was a knock at the door. I ignored it, then remembered I hadn't locked the door, just in case Edward had gone off to sleep in the park or something. I crawled out of bed, grabbed that E&J and, thus fortified, answered the door.
I was greeted with a shirt in the face and the screeching voice of Kim, "THERE'S YOUR SHIRT, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
Her car door slammed by the time I got the shirt untangled from my whiskers and my pint, and squealed out of the driveway, scraping its fiberglass bumper on the slope.
I went back to bed.
What seemed like 15 minutes later, another knock on the door. Awesome. It was Edward, and he was very angry.

Yesterday, I woke up around 10am. Stayed in bed a bit because I was so tired from working a five day streak (4-12hr shifts and one 8hr shift.) Work wasn't so bad, actually. In my five days of work, we had a fairly low census so for someone who's used to care for 5 to 6 patients per shift, it wasn't so bad. I had 3 to 4 patients during the past 5 work days. To top it off, I did not, I repeat, I DID NOT have any admission. Yay!
Now back to my day yesterday, I woke up at 10 am, had breakfast with mom at home, then I went to the gym around 12. Tried to run but still can't. My calves still hurt and for some reason, I feel like I'm "heavier." Although the scale says otherwise. I'm probably just out of shape or just really tired. The body can only take so much work anyway.
At 2pm, I went to the mandatory meeting at work. Had to talk about heparin drips since the unit had issues with this particular drip. Also, had to talk about the upcoming Christmas party. On a side note, I already have my dress, which I got from Macys. (Excited to feel like Daisy Buchanan! #roaring20s) I'm still waiting for my accessories, which I have ordered online. I got a couple of fancy jewelry from Macys but they didn't have any sparkly headbands so I had to order one from eBay and it should be here any time soon.
After the meeting, I went to KMart and picked up mom's medications. To my surprise, the pharm tech said that we have reached the "cap" for mom's medications so I had to pay full price, which was a staggering $185 for a month-long supply.
I was going to pay mom's loan at coast 360 but I came late; they were closed when I got there. Now going to coast 360 and to first Hawaiian bank (to defer my payment for my car loan until I could hopefully sell it by December) are added to my to-do list for Friday.
Come night time and I had to do grocery shopping with the parents to prepare for thanksgiving. Then around 11pm, I did some CEUs on pain. By 2am, I was able to meet the 15 CEUs goal for pain.
Things left to do:
Get a job in NYC
Review for my pain RNBC certification
Sell my car
Sell my other stuff that I won't / can't bring to NYC
Moving is so tedious.

What is the main difference between a country home and its city cousin? The answer is obvious: trees. Trees add style and grace to a home; they defeat the winter winds and help cool it in summer. They attract wildlife, add fragrance to the air, but in every instance, they add value to the property. Because trees are so invaluable to homeowners, it is vital that the homeowner find ways to protect their investment.
According to the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA), "A recent Gallup poll found that property owners believe that a well-designed and maintained landscaping addedan average of 15 percent to the selling price of a home."

Rajnath picks divide party
The rift within the BJP widened a little further on Saturday after president Rajnath Singh took two more controversial decisions, one of which was promptly opposed publicly by his own party's Uttar Pradesh unit.india Updated: Apr 05, 2009 02:00 IST
The rift within the BJP widened a little further on Saturday after president Rajnath Singh took two more controversial decisions, one of which was promptly opposed publicly by his own party's Uttar Pradesh unit.
The first was the appointment of Delhi businessman Sudhanshu Mittal as the BJP's campaign manager in Rajasthan. The second was the induction of the tainted former bureaucrat Neera Yadav as a party member in UP.
Mittal's appointment is being seen as an attempt by Singh to stamp his authority as president on the party. He has gone ahead entrusting Mittal with a fresh responsibility despite the fact that last month, his selection as BJP co-convenor for the Northeast had kicked up a major row, with party general secretary Arun Jaitley disapproving the "unilateral" appointment of a man, seen by many as a wheeler-dealer.
"I am already Sah Prabhari of Northeast. The party has given me the additional responsibility of managing the campaign in Rajasthan and I will work there," Mittal told HT.
This time, former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje sought Mittal's services to get the Meenas to vote for the party in constituencies where they hold sway.
Mittal was a close aide of Pramod Mahajan, who had looked after the party's campaign in Rajasthan in 2004. But this added feather in Mittal's cap might end up ruffling a few feathers.
Yadav not inducted, says UP unit
The BJP is a divided house over the entry of Neera Yadav — the first IAS officer to be removed on Supreme Court orders over corruption charges.
Party spokesperson Siddharth Nath Singh told HT: "At a press conference in Lucknow, BJP state unit chief Ramapati Ram Tripathi announced that Neera Yadav has not been inducted into BJP. Her husband Mahendra Yadav was inducted, she expressed a desire to join, which was turned down."
Key L.K. Advani aide Sudheendra Kulkarni, who had reportedly told the media it was a mistake to induct Yadav, told HT that the party had clarified its position in Lucknow.
A section in the party, including Jaitley, has reservations over her association with the party. On record, however, Jaitley claimed: "It was Mahendra (former party MLA and Yadav's husband) who was inducted into the party and Neera was merely present with her husband."
The state unit's stand is being seen as a rebuff to the party president, who is believed to have honoured Yadav to please her community of Tyagis who have some presence in Ghaziabad. Singh is keen to win from here.

Dear Anxiety.
I know that I have written a blog post about my anxiety before, but I actually wrote this post during the mental health awareness week but for some reason just couldn't bring myself to post it. This isn't an in-depth post of me telling you how to handle your anxiety or how to overcome it, this is just me sharing my thoughts and experiences because I know that the younger Katharine would have really needed to read something likes this many years ago. so here it goes. Growing up I always felt a little bit different to everyone else, a lot of the friends I grew up with always shared the same carefree attitude I longed to have, nothing seemed to worry them never mind stress them out, where I was the complete opposite. I would worry about certain things that I really had no business worrying…View Post

Calls for Canadian Country of Origin labelling.
There's growing support for Canadian country of origin labelling laws.
Many producers are wondering why Canadian products have to meet strict American guidelines -- while meat from the U-S flows much more freely off Canadian store shelves.
The Manitoba Pork Council notes at least 25 per cent of the pork sold in Canada comes from the United States.
Many feel labelling requirements would be one way of putting Canadian producers on a level playing field with the Americans if a World Trade Organization case against the U-S is not successful.
Canadian farmers must come together to address some of the bigger issues in agriculture.
That's according to Laurent Pellerin, the President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.
He says groups like his have been criticized for not taking a strong enough stance on certain federal policy issues.
But Pellerin says the C-F-A's position is simply a reflection of the consensus among producers, and says the voice of Canadian farmers will continue to suffer if producers are not willing to compromise.
The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters says coyote predators in parts of southern Ontario has been increasing for years and is showing no signs of slowing down.
The group says livestock kills by coyotes and other wildlife cost taxpayers more than a million dollars in compensation payments in 2008 -- and that figure doesn't begin to reflect the true costs to the farmer.
The federation says it supports the efforts of municipalities that are taking action to assist their residents through coyote harvesting incentive programs.
Ian Wishart will remain president of the Keystone Agriculture Producers for another year.
He was unopposed at the group's annual meeting.
Transport Canada is conducting a review of the rail system to develop recommendations to improve rail freight and transportation in Canada.
Officials say the goal is to develop recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the rail transportation system in Canada.
He says for most grain and oilseed shippers, rail is the only practical form of transport to get their goods to port.
And the Canadian Wheat Board is backing efforts by the federal government to reach a free trade agreement with Morocco.
Morocco is a leading market for western Canadian durum -- with sales of nearly 200 million dollars in 2007-08.

Hecksher Park
This painting is 7 x 10 and was painted while I was sitting in beautiful Hecksher Park. I had never walked around the park before, and I has some lovely spots so I'm sure I'll go back again.

Karen And Kate Are Coming
Real Art Ways and the Mark Twain House and Museum are joining forces to bring two noted performance artists of the 1980s and '90s to Hartford.
Kate Bornstein, the transgender icon whose performance pieces include "Hard Candy" and "The Opposite Sex is Neither," will give a talk on "Trans, Beyond the Tipping Point," 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30 at Real Art Ways.
Karen Finley, one of the famed "NEA Four" who had their grants from the National Endowment for the Arts rescinded in 1990 due to a politicization of the grant-giving process and the supposedly controversial nature of their performances, will be at the Mark Twain House on Feb. 17 at 7 p.m., signing and discussing the 25th anniversary edition of her groundbreaking book "Shock Treatment."
Neither of these appearances is technically a performance, but Finley and Bornstein are vibrant, engaging personalities who deliver messages stridently and entertainingly. Real Art Ways (which, in its early days as a performance space, hosted all of the NEA Four, plus Bornstein and many other key political performance artists) and the Mark Twain House (which recently hosted trans comedian Ian Harvie) are co-producing and co-promoting the appearances.
'Lion' Cubs
Benjamin Scheuer won't be the only person telling a musical story at Long Wharf Theatre in January. Inspired by the autobiographical story-with-music vibe of Scheuer's solo show "The Lion," Long Wharf is holding a "Sing Your Story" night on Monday, Jan. 25. It's not an open mike; performers will be chosen based on submissions of original songs (five minutes long or less), which will both be judged by a panel of Long Wharf judges and "liked" by the masses via YouTube. The artists chosen will perform live on the Long Wharf mainstage Jan. 25. The event will be hosted by actress/singer Megan Chenot of New Haven Theater Company and the band Mission Zero. Submissions must be uploaded between Jan. 1 and 15. More details, and an online form, are at longwharf.org/sing-your-story.
Nunsense Series
With Seven Angels Theater founder Semina DeLaurentis recently returning to her Sister Mary Amnesia habit for Seven Angels' 25th anniversary last year, it's worth noting that Dan Goggins, who created the show and its umpteen sequels, has produced a pilot episode for a potential "Nunsense" TV series. The show stars Darlene Love, Karen Ziemba (the Tony winner who was in "Sylvia" at the Long Wharf and "Much Ado About Nothing" at Hartford Stage), Beth Level, Dee Hoty, Lee Roy Reams, Christopher Sieber, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Mary Stout, Phyllis Smith, Bambi Jones and June Gable. Amen!
Opera Rockers
Two modern masters of the fine grungy art of rock opera are touring together in 2016. Titus Andronicus, the New Jersey band whose latest album is the loud, insightful five-act, three-disk opus "The Most Lamentable Tragedy," is hitting the road alongside Craig Finn. This includes a gig at Toad's Place in New Haven on March 25. "Lamentable Tragedy" is a feverish tale of dreams, depression and madness that contains numerous Shakespeare references.
Finn, whose Brooklyn-based band The Hold Steady is known for the religious-themed contemporary youth-culture rock opera "Separation Sunday" as well as a series of songs on other albums featuring the same main characters, has just released his second solo album, "Faith in the Future." These are concerts, sure, and not staged theater events, but take your narrative-based indie-rock exhibitions where you can find 'em. "Tommy" and "American Idiot" began as rock tours, remember.
Calderon Breaks Boundaries
The Yale Repertory Theatre has added another event to its avant-garde "No Boundaries" international performance series. It's the "Fundación Teatro a Mil production of Escuela," written and directed by Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderón. The play shows young activists planning to overthrow the Chilean government in the late 1980s, and examines the nature of political awareness and justifications for violence. The production was seen in Chicago in November and will be at the New York Public Theater's Under the Radar festival Jan. 13-17. The New Haven dates are Feb. 24-26 at Yale's Iseman Theater.
Get a Kick Out of Cole
Yale grad Cole Porter (class of '10) will get a Carnegie Hall concert in New York on June 7, honoring the 125th anniversary of his birth. The composer, whose "Bulldog" sports anthem is still sung at Yale football games, was born June 9, 1891, in Indiana.

John W. StoneAugust 12, 1960 ~ August 4, 2017 (age 56)
Share using:
John W. Stone, 56, of Colchester, beloved husband of Kathleen (Murphy) Stone, passed away peacefully Friday (Aug. 4, 2017) at home, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Born Aug. 12, 1960 in Middletown, he was the son of the late Ralph and Angelina (Saraceno) Stone. John worked alongside his father in metal fabrication, but truth be told, he could design, build and fix just about anything. He was an automobile enthusiast and mechanic, loved to build (and rebuild) stone walls and spend time in nature, especially in his "own backyard" of Salmon River. In addition to his loving wife of 23 years, he leaves two brothers, Ralph, Jr. of East Hampton and James of Glastonbury; a special niece and nephew, Jenny Stone and her husband, Nick McMahon; and Jimmy Stone; his great niece, Molly McMahon; his dear friend, Gary Ross along with the rest of the "Standish Road Gang" for always being there for John and Kathy; as well as numerous extended family members and friends. A Memorial Service celebrating his life will be observed on what would have been his 57th birthday (Saturday, Aug. 12th) at 2 PM at the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home, 167 Old Hartford Road, Colchester. The family will receive guests starting at 12:30 PM until the time of the service. Burial will be private in the Ponemah Cemetery, No. Westchester. Donations in his memory may be made to the Prostate Cancer Research Institute, 5777 W. Century Blvd., Ste. 800, Los Angeles, CA 90045 (www.pcri.org).

They fear that only cash-rich mainland investors will benefit.
A report from South China Morning Post said that Hong Kong's four key premium taxi groups – SynCab, Jumbo Taxi, PrimeCab, and Diamond Cab – have cast doubts over a government plan to introduce franchised cabs, questioning its commercial viability despite the significant incentives on offer, including the waiver of close to $4b in licence fees.
The groups argued that the five-year trial may eventually benefit only cash-rich mainland investors who are eyeing a slice of the fragmented city taxi market.

Hi Lovlies!!
I hope everyone is having a great week. I stumbled across the most awesome song and video on Yahoo the other day. I have been listening to it for the last 3 days and it never gets old. I love the all of the celeb cameos (even though there are a few that I don't recognize).
It's a jump up and dance kind of song! Anyways, here it is for your listening and viewing pleasure.
Bonnie McKee- American Girl
Enjoy Lovelies!!

Friendship is truly a gift from God. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says:
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ok, so I know that part about lying down together is kinda weird, but do you get the point? God gave us friends for a reason, so that we can pull each other up when we fall crashing to the ground, to help each other in our walks with Christ, to defend each other, and to love each other. Romans 13:10 says:
"Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."
Does the word neighbor mean just the people next door? No. The word neighbor here means EVERYBODY. This includes girls. Love the girls around you. Now, I don't mean the romantic kind of love. I mean the sincere kind of love that shows that you care about them, that shows that you know they are special because God created them that way. If you are a Christian guy we are your sisters in Christ, please treat us that way!
God intended for us to have friendships. He wants us to have friendships with both genders, they are SO important. Some of my closest friendships are with guys, but they are not the same kind of close friendships that I have with girls. But thats the way it should be!
Be a good friend, to both girls and guys. But you have to treat girls differently than your guy friends. That whole tough love thing doesn't really work with us, sorry. Be a gentleman. It impresses us when you treat us like we are worthy to be treated differently.

We were able to go "home" to South Florida the week of thanksgiving and were blessed to see lots of friends and family while down there. My youngest sister, Amy, even came down from the Big Apple for a few days. We hadn't seen her in almost a year, so it was especially nice to get to spend time together. She wanted to take Charlie out for a manicure--something I hadn't planned on doing til she was five (okay, fine, at least three), but Amy insisted: "There are ALWAYS toddlers getting their nails done when I go in New York!" (Well, I don't doubt that.) I thought it would be something special Charlotte could share with her aunt, and she's about as princess-y as they come, so I knew she would love it.
First things first: picking out her nail color with Aunt Amy (pink, of course!).
A little timid at the start: "Um, what exactly is going to happen here?"
Starting to relax during the massage portion (always the best part!)
Oh yes, I do think I like this!
Time for the polish...
Ooh la la!
I think we may have to make this a weekly occurence, Mom!
Time to dry...
Thanks for treating me to my first mani, Aunt Amy!
I have a feeling there will be many more to come...

Following up on our August 28, 2008, post about the September 2008 issue of National Geographic:
The cover article "Our Good Earth" reported dangers to soils around the world. Although their map showed the Blackland Prairie through the middle of Texas (and the nation) as one of the largest areas of the most highly fertile soil in the world, the article did not mention the danger to this valuable area posed by the Trans-Texas Corridor (and the NAFTA Supercorridor) which have been proposed to pave over a good bit of this land through the middle of our country.
Even though some of us wrote letters to the editor pointing this out, the letters published about this article (in National Geographic's January 2009 issue) did not include any about the Corridor or the endangered Blackland Prairie.
One letter writer mentioned "the construction of new highways" generally as a problem. Another mentioned urban sprawl and criticized "using the best land for subdivisions," although didn't cover using the best land for highways. A third letter criticized "the replacement of arable soil with concrete."
Why do the National Geographic editors refuse to recognize the biggest threat to one of the biggest areas of the most fertile soil in the world if they are concerned about threats to valuable soil? The letters were chosen and the January issue had gone to press well before some Texas officials started calling the Corridor "dead" during the first few days of January, so it couldn't be that the National Geographic editors thought the Corridor was not a threat anymore.
Are some most highly fertile soils more valuable than others? Does National Geographic agree with Gov. 39% that Texas (and American) rural residents and their land are just not that important?
Saturday, February 28, 2009
National Geographic STILL won't acknowledge TTC threat to Blackland Prairie

text: I used to imagine enthalpy & entropy as the (un)usable energy of gas molecules that vibrate. But now I feel the real picture is more spiritual than that. I got that feeling while learning hydrolysis of ATP. It just releases usable energy, (just like that) to macromolecules which are too huge to be vibrating like we think about gas molecules. It doesn't seem like vibrations are getting transferred. WTF is energy?

1. Just for today, I will not be angry.
2. Just for today I will not worry.
3. Just for today, I will be grateful
4. Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
5. Just for today I will be kind to every living thing.
I found this online yesterday while reasearching Reiki healing for an article I was writing. These are the five principles of Reiki healing and they really kind of stuck with me all day today. I like the phrase "Just for today" the most.
"Just for today" sums it up perfectly. We can't change yesterday and we can't predict tomorrow. We can only focus on now. We can't even focus on five minutes from now. So many times, we as humans put ourselves under so much undo pressure thinking about what's going to happen tomorrow. Or we trap ourselves under huge blanketing and all emcompassing statements that are more harmful than helpful. We need to replace the phrase "From now on" with "Just for today".
"From now on, I'm going to eat healthier!" or "Just for today, I'm going to eat healthier." One is almost always going to set you up for failure, because from now on is a long effing time, and the minute you screw it up, you feel bad. But, if you tell yourself everday "Just for today, I'll eat better." then you're allowing yourself a choice to do something positive just for that day, no more, no less. I like to think that if you are gentle with yourself, you'll make better choices. Also, if we're gentle to ourselves, then others will be as well.
The first way is like an order, the second one a gentle suggestion and a gentle suggestion will always do the trick, it allows the person to make the decision theirs, even if that person is yourself. One way is a burden, the other is empowering.
Hell, I can even see this working for your negative thoughts as well "Just for today, I'm going to dwell on why that fucker didn't call." Dwell on it, all day if you want. Because maybe that will help you let it go. Maybe that will make you see reason and see maybe the reason behind the negative wasn't ill intent. Or maybe it wasn't quite the way you thought it was. Whatever. Or maybe you just need to dwell on it because that's what you need to do, even if it doesn't serve any higher enlightenment.
I talked about OD@AT once which stands for "One DAy At A Time" and I realize that I've strayed from the concept that brought me much comfort in the past. I've become focused too much on the future, mainly because I'm scared. Scared of many things, where I'll live when I have to move, where will my job take me, should I go to school, will the kids be ok the older they get, will I find that perfect half of me and live forever in bliss with him? None of these things can be changed NOW and need to happen as time allows. If for some reason I do have to wait the 13 years to find my true love, what can I do about it now? Why am I so worried about it? Some things you just can't be proactive on. Some things, being proactive means doing little things everyday that accumulate over time, so that when the big bad scary thing happens, you're prepared for it.
I'm all philisophical about it now, but it's a struggle for me to remember that worrying gets me nowhere and it's something I still need to work on and will be harder for me to work on without my medication because of my naturally high anxiety levels I have had since I was a kid. But, I'll get by and I'll get through it and come out shining and a better person for it.

Fiber Art for Our Eyes
This summer BelmarArts continues the tradition of Solo X2. Back in the spring we sought submissions for solo exhibitions in our back gallery. A committee of experienced arts professionals (David Levy, Anna Wainwright, and Douglas Ferrari) chose two artists to be part of our summer schedule.
The first of the summer solo shows opened tonight- "My Eyes Are Down Here" by Juliet Martin. The artist works with fibers, a mixed combination. The pieces involve weaving, using a traditional Japanese process, but get a bit unusual after that.
The pieces in this show can be grouped into some basic shapes (bodies, torsos, pillows), but within each piece the colors and textures are more freeform. Colors can come from commercially produced yarns, or materials she has dyed herself. Combinations are often atypical, yet form pleasing mixes of colors in the final piece. Construction can include weaving, embroidery, and attaching pieces by sewing them together. The works make reference to clothing, bodies, and the male gaze, besides the more formal issues of color and texture. The pieces end up being a mix of representation and abstraction, of conceptual and the literal. A show not quite like any we have ever had here before.
The individual pieces and the whole show are best appreciated in person, rather than from photos, so if this kind of artwork appeals to you, bring yourself to the gallery before the show closes on July 15, 2016. Summer hours are Wednesday to Sunday, 1 to 5 pm. Admission is free.

getting dressy...
Ahh, the dress quest continues and is fruitful. I found this fabulous polka-dotted dress from Galatea that makes me oh-so-happy. When I put it on, it made me feel both efficient and a little bit naughty. I had to bring it home. I think I may add a snap at the neckline to make it less naughty, but otherwise it fit so perfectly I almost laughed out loud in the dressing room!
There are loads of great dresses at Get Dressed, too, and just across the street from Ornamentea. I have to walk over there and spend some time going through all the racks of vintage goodies and look for items in my size.
Thanks to all the folks who emailed me dress buying tips!
(oh, Galatea now has a consignment section where you can sell gently-used clothing that you previously purchased at Galatea. The problem for me is that I don't have a SINGLE thing I have purchased there that I didn't wear down to the bare threads. I did, however, see a great slip dress on the consignment rack for just $20...)

What is with people these days? Have manners and courtesies and etiquettes gone flying naked out the window? I am not talking about being polite or well-mannered and not mentioning poops in conversation or not embarrassing somebody on purpose by loudly talking about the time they made you run out of a train station and grab a cab to hightail it to the nearest toilet due to a sudden onslaught of a Copenhagen Incident, which also happens to have something to do with poops.
I am talking about being nice to strangers. Not even nice! Just acting like everyone you're interacting with is a human person just like you. And you wouldn't behave in a terrible way towards yourself, would you? And if you would, you got bigger whales to butcher. You've got higher balconies off which to try and fly. You gots problems.
I am talking about being nice to strangers. Not even nice! Just acting like everyone you're interacting with is a human person just like you. And you wouldn't behave in a terrible way towards yourself, would you? And if you would, you got bigger whales to butcher. You've got higher balconies off which to try and fly. You gots problems.
A few tips on how to be a human being:
- Use your pleases and thank yous.
- Use your turn signals.
- Use your gas and brake pedals appropriately.
- Use your ears and listen when people are talking to you. Acknowledge they are talking to you. And then use the powers of your brain to absorb the information.
- Use the information and don't ask the same question I just answered.
- Use real pants.
- Don't drive in both lanes on the street.
- Don't pull over ¾ of the way out of the street with your boat of a car and pretend you're not holding up a whole lane of traffic.
- Don't sneeze into your hand and expect me to want to take the credit card you're holding in that same hand.
- Don't borrow my coat to go outside and then smoke while wearing it and stink it up when I asked you not to.
- Don't be one half of an hour late.
- Don't say you're 5 minutes away when you're 30, 20 or even 10.
- Don't "forget" your wallet if you take a person out on a date.
- Don't check your phone every five seconds because I know I'm not that boring, so it probably means you are.
- Don't not answer my text or call if I'm not where you are and I know you check your phone so often you'd think it was a lone baby cooking a roast beast dinner over a high flame. I'm not saying I need instantaneous results, but I think we can all agree letting days pass is absurd. Unless you're trying to rescue aforementioned lone baby who is now stuck inside a flaming roast beast inside of a locked room.
- Don't make that terrifying commercial with that baby with chest hair running down the beach. It's disgusting and makes me physically sick.
- Don't ruin the endings of movies! Unless it's a bad movie nobody should see anyway.
- Don't be sick and not tell me you're sick until I've already breathed the same air as you, thereby getting me sick.
- Don't sneeze on me.
- Don't trick Amish people.
- Don't impregnate your wife with Satan's baby, especially while she's sleeping.
- Don't tell me I look much better in real life than in my driver's license photo - they're all the many faces of me!
- Don't ask me if I want two sets of chopsticks when I buy a pantload of sushi at the market - I don't want two sets. I want one. Because it's just me. Eating all that sushi. By myself. And I don't care if you're judging me. Because you know what? I'm not wearing a mumu. Most of the time. And I don't even usually wash myself with a rag on a stick.
- Don't wear sheer tights as pants. Don't use leggings, but especially don't use sheer stockings. I've previously discussed buttcheeks in this forum and I don't wish to revisit it any more often than need be.
Okay. Now that that's out of the way.
I have a sore throat and it is NOT OKAY.
I burnt my whole mouth drinking a Candy Cane Tea Latte.
I watched two movies on the TV.
They were both about ladies, one of whom was really ugly.
That was a poem. Written by my sickness.
And for C-Mas is soon upon us.
