Hello yellow

Look at that multi-faceted T & Co. yellow rock. That thing is as big as my noggin, yet somehow I'm still strangely compelled to want to wear it on my hand. It must equal the cost of a home plus two cars, and then some. Easily the gross total of ones annual salary, let alone 3 months of it.

There's some hoes in this house

OMFG tonight I went to Tatou in downtown L.A. For the first time and wow wow wee wow there was more than the normal share of hoes in the house! And most likely many of them were from the underage set, but I've never seen more cheap downtown L.A. stripperesque like barely there dresses and silver "made in China" f**k me pumps on one room in my life. Add to that the 101 fashion no-no's like too tight waistbands that made muffin tops oooooze out and back straps that pushed back fat up and out. And, last but not least the flabby go-go dancer whose belly and cellulite was intensified, as opposed to masked, by the overhead lights.

Okay, I know that this sadly and pathetically may have been attractive, tempting, or enticing to some of the guys there (esp. after a drink or two), but geez ladies, have some self respect...this IS the 2008's after all. Sorry, you won't find a life mate flaunting hoe-ness glory. Please, you're an embarrasment to dignified women everywhere. I'm so embarrased for you and I cringe at your desperate attempts for attention. It's really pathetic girls!

Anti-gravity yoga

This afternoon I grew "angel wings" to defy gravity and yoga like I've never yoga'd before. Using a stretchy smooth fabric, we did poses like "one winged dove", "dancer", "toy soldier" amongst the more familiar poses like "warrior". From balance to swinging to hanging upside down hands-free, I worked my whole body. During the last series of poses, we lie suspended upside down and hands-free, doing a "monkey hook" with our ankles. Blood rushed to my head and as I looked around the room it looked like something out of a Cirque Du Soliel performance. At the end of class, the last pose was "cocoon", where we envelope our entire body stretched completely out inside the fabric and just lie and swing there, weightless. Namaste, baby.

On the road again..

Going places I ain't never been! Its remarkable how much you simply "pass by" and not notice when you live in So. Cal. I love that I'm really getting to know it from the inside out like never before appreciated. From city to city there are so many special and unique things each has to offer.

A market overview drive of Ventura/Simi Conejo Valleys is how I finished off my week, from Thousand Oaks all the way to Ventura. I feel like I've learned a lot about this neck of the woods in the 4 hours or so we were out there. As I looked up at the sky, I noticed the most striking pattern of clouds whisked against the azure sky. Its nice to have a job where the outside world becomes part of your "office"!

Free pike place Wednesdays

S.O.S.! I've O.D.'d on Starbucks pike place. It's almost 3 a.m. and I'm still up! They have a free cup of coffee on Wednesdays and I can't pass up free in this economy! Trouble is, there must be some potent ass beans in that brew cause I am WIRED! I just wasted tons of time bullshitting on the internet. SO not the way to be productive. I'd rather be sleeping! The good news is that it seemed to have cured my blepharospasm. I've gone hours without so much as a blink! Woohoo!

Twitch..twitchity twitch

So check it..Friday afternoon I notice a persistent twitch in my right eyelid. Usually if I experience any sort of involuntary muscle twitch it subsides after its done its thing and that's the end of it.

It is now Monday, and that damn twitch is still here. I tried to "Kill Bill" it away, but instead of saying "wiggle your big toe" I was saying "stop twitching your right eyelid". No success.

I look in the mirror to see exactly what I look like as it twitches and it feels a lot bigger than it looks. Thank God I don't look like a psycho or crack fiend- it's more of a subtle incognito twitch.

Still, its annoying as hell. If I want you to move I'll voluntarily move you, eyelid! I'm the boss of you dammit!

Concerned, I googled "eye twitch" and found the medical terminology for my condition. "Blepharospasm"--as a past Surgical Tech I coulda figured that one out myself. There's a medical term for everything. Such as "RLS" aka restless leg syndrome. Well, at least the latter is voluntary. Ho hum, it sounds worse in doctor speak.

Anyway. Supposedly there is no cure; chances are its temporary and caused by lack of sleep or too much stress. Check and check. They say you can decrease the frequency by reversing these two conditions. Easier said than done. If it doesn't go away you can elect surgery to disengage the muscle that is linked to twitching, or you can get botox injections. Hmm..twitching eye or droopy, lifeless eyelid? Decisions, decisions. :)

Well hopefully my eyelid muscle will stop rebelling soon. Wish me luck!

85 degrees and climbing

Temperature's rising in sunny So Cal; ate too much outside junk food the past few days so I found myself at crunch to do 90 long minutes of power yoga to end my week.

Last week at work can best be described as "road warrior" week; all but maybe 2 days were full of either client tours, tenant prospecting in Malibu, or market overviews. The good news is that my knowledge of the many cities and sub-communities I'll be working has vastly improved.

Friday is the day we won't mention except to say that it belonged on reality tv! Luckily I didn't actively participate in the madness. Except for a little bit of dancing to burn off the booze, the rest is history! :)

My BF and I are on our way towards new, scary, changes that will hopefully bring us higher. Stay tuned..
