During my shifts, we had to play four episodes of the sitcom on loop, and only those four episodes. I have not been able to watch it since.

I might actually pay-per-view that one.

This is why they only donate to shit like the opera and symphony, which is entertainment for THEM (maybe we’ll give the peasants a Saturday matinee this year!).

Everything is legal in New Jersey.

It looks like a “Naughty Lady” multi-level marketing meeting is about to happen.

It will start to change when you take a step back and say “These are just those voices. They can’t hurt me. Now I gotta get on with stretching my calves.” Yoga is never going to be comfortable. It always requires effort and pushing yourself. You get moments of strength and happiness and pride, but then you go on to…

My brother moved to southeastern Kentucky and bought 35 acres, a house and a barn for $109k. He had sold his house out here for $400k. But he’s a total redneck and loves to hunt and shoot guns and drive big trucks, so he is much better suited.

I’m a lifelong Californian and sometimes fantasize about moving out of state because I will never be able to afford a house here. Then comments like this make me realize how out of place I would be...People tend to think of the US as one big culture, more or less, but it isn’t. I feel like I have more in common with a…

I am so sorry.

That’s actually part of the process. Learning to let those voices scream themselves out while you are being quiet and not reacting. You bring your whole self to the mat.

You can buy them by the bale at Costco.

Get a fucking Sharpie like my mom.

that’s not what I’m about, that’s not the type of person that I am.

I saw the most maddening exhibition at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach. It wasn’t works by her, it was stuff focused on her - portraits by other people, photos of her and her associates, scraps of letters, postcards...It looked like someone had taken that box of mementos out from under her bed and…

She was a badass! When she was badly hurt in a trolley accident (smashed her back and pelvis), she had a frame built so she could continue painting in bed. She suffered in horrible pain but her artistic spirit was undeniable.

Now, Robbie Rogers is gay, and a great football (the other kind) player. I was at the game where he joined the LA Galaxy as the first openly gay player in any major league US sport. They announced his name, people clapped enthusiastically, and he took the field. No big deal.

Someone explained to me the other day that you use marrow bones, so it’s kind of osso buco broth. You also cook it forever. Sounds like somewhere between a consomme and a demi-glace.

They think like abusers: either you do every single thing exactly my way, or I throw a big tantrum that may include violence, up to and including murder.

They look like whiny babies.
