is a one pound bag of Simply the Best Trek Mix a bad dinner choice? i’m too lazy to get up.

i have several other varieties in a giant bag behind me. provisions.

Once you start eating something from Trader Joe’s,  its hard to stop. I really want some greek honey yogurt right now. But I don’t have any and all the yogurt I own is culturing in the oven…

So as I regularly mention I upped sticks and moved to Manchester, 6 months ago this week as it happens (wow time flies).

Anyway, one of the things I was most looking forward to about moving to Manchester was having my favourite bands playing so close to where I live. Gigs would no longer be a non-alcohol affair through driving to and from Leeds, or be an expensive affair through having to stay at a hotel in Manchester, or even just stay out all night drinking until the first train back the next morning (as we once did, with The Cardinals. That’s right, we went out drinking, all night, with The Cardinals).

So, moving here in May I was most disappointed to see that there were barely any bands I wanted to see playing anytime soon. The Used was the closest I came to getting tickets for anything, don’t get me wrong I like The Used, but to go see them live would’ve been clutching at straws somewhat, especially as their latest album they were touring didn’t overly impress me.

It annoyed me.

But now, I’m pleased to report, things are looking up :)

Next month I’m seeing Placebo and Depeche Mode, in January I see John Mayer. This Saturday I’ll be waking up early to purchase tickets to see 30 Seconds to Mars. I haven’t even trawled through the gig listings recently and I have 4 awesome gigs coming soon!

Just wanted to share this with the world, feel free to ignore me and go about your daily business :)

cool. Which of these bands are you hoping to spend the evening drinking with?

Please do not pet the Ewok. They bite and many of them are rabid.

BTW - Is the mug supposed to represent the forest moon of Endor or is this supposed to be a scene from the annual Ewok office Christmas party?

Annual Ewok office Solstice party! There’s a guy at my office who reminds me of an Ewok. I told him this. Now I think he think’s I’m weird.

Here’s the gist: A woman in North Carolina sold her 5-year-old daughter into sexual slavery a little over a week ago, and three days ago the girl was found dead in the woods within ten miles of the hotel where she was last seen.

I’m gonna let that sink in for a moment.  I apologize if you were trying to eat.

Now, here’s the thing.  I had heard about the story at work, and finally found it on a British newspaper’s website.  American papers seem to be a bit preoccupied with Sarah Palin.  I did manage to find some American coverage afterwards, but I haven’t found one that treated it as a front page story.  It’s largely just a little article, the length suggests that in a newspaper it would be on a side column.  Now, think about that.  The story is a sign of problems the mother has.  But the fact that we can so easily overlook it, that newspapers thought it wasn’t as important as Palin’s book or some disputed congressional race in upstate New York is a sign of a sickness in our culture.

The story was on here a few times.  The man who killed the girl shouldn’t have been out on the streets in the first place, only receiving probation for crimes in the recent past.

The story made me ill.  Five years old and being sold as a prostitute. DSS had investigated the mother too!

Yes, here in the US, Palin is bigger news than that child, or the three teens who set that boy on fire.

I saw the story on cnn on my phone at the gym on Tuesday, but decided not to ruin my yoga class by reading any of the 4 stories of child deaths/rapes before class. And there is no reason that Sarah Palin should trump this story.

Are you mixing Jack, Coke and rubbing alcohol? That’s pretty rough.

ok so this is an old picture of a jellybean but pretend it is a vitamin for the purposes of this discussion.

If you (and I’m talking to ladies here) have ever been called or called yourself a crazy bitch, please for the love of god look into some vitamins.

I am actually a bitch so that doesn’t really go anywhere but since I have been better about taking vitamins every day (specifically a multi for ladies, B12 and occasionally a calcium) I have magically become 90% less

• panicky
• sad
• irrational
• tearful
• suspiciously inventive
• rage-ish
• hungry
• insane

EVEN during the times when I am technically permitted to do all of that shit because of hormones. Take them daily, but never more than one at a time and always with food or you will throw up.

seriously guys, s r s l y .

I especially like ”suspiciously inventive”. I know exactly what you mean, and it is indeed a horrible state of mind.

I also recommend some vitamin D. My sister was seriously deficient for a bout a year and then my vitamin d was low last time I went to the doctor. No big deal right.. nope. With my sister, the lack of vitamin d caused her to gain 40 lbs, a serious depression requiring meds, sleep disruptions and memory loss issues. With me, the sleeping problems, moodiness and being extremely tired to the point of wanting to cry all the time. And apparently, most American women are low on Vitamin D. So grab a bottle and take some with that calcium pill (or yogurt or a glass of milk…)
