After 4 martinis and a black russian, Shaolin Soccer isn’t a bad movie. Saved! however, is fuckin’ awesome. Get a copy. Share it with friends. I am moving drunkenly to bed.
Man, downer day. I was also kicking myself during pilates about my weight again, because we’ve got 2 walls of mirrors, and I’m exhausted, and have spent most of the week living out of a hotel. So fucking frustrated, why’s it take me a year to drop two sizes? Why do I have to wait

Went to my pilates class, but skipped boxing because Sifu Dino showed up, snarked off something that really irked me, and then hung around while the boxers were warming up. And I just wasn’t in the mood for him. I have this bizarre reaction

Stumble home, unpack, pile up laundry, try and find a fourth frickin’ quarter… turn the house upside down to try and find a damn quarter, nothing, fuck it, these kicking pants are clean enough, leave `um to air out. Pack wraps, belt, shirt, towel, (boxing class tomorrow) ignore two coffee cups in the sink (at
The age-old battle between the people on the ground and the people heading it all up from on-high: When corp. comes in next and tells us how incredibly complicated we need to make things, we’ve collectively agreed to use this knee-in-the-gut retort: “It’ll cost you more money.” Gets `um every time….
