Everything is Wrong.

Wow. I kind of forgot about this blog. It's hard to write random blog posts to you, Amy, when we talk on the phone like 300 times a day. It's not like I have anything new to type...

I still have my stupid job. I still fucking hate it. My boss was gone for a few weeks and I was deadly ill, but now that we're both back in the office he is bugging the shit out of me. I want him to leave the art department permanently and let me and Coop just run the joint. He is completely out of the loop and driving me nuts with his ridiculous directions. I have no major stories to back this bitching up, but it's always the same.

Also, I'm having all my health issues, which I won't go into again. But they're rubbing me the wrong way along with everything else.

And to top things off, I think fucking Hillary is going to get the nomination over Obama...which pisses me the hell off. I was at the laundromat earlier, watching the returns come in, and I got SO excited when they showed all the states that Obama had won. He won so many more than Hillary, it was amazing. But he was winning all the small states, which means he got fewer delegate votes than Hillary, which means come November I'm going to have to vote for the lesser of two evils yet AGAIN. I was so excited to maybe just ONCE have the possibility of voting for someone I actually WANTED to vote for rather than a damned robot. Boo.

That's enough bitching for now.

I'm Officially on a Diet.

So ever since my father told me that I looked fat in the pictures that my mom and I took while she was here, I've been contemplating losing about 5-10 pounds. You know this. So in any case, my fat Asian ass decided this weekend to go and buy some Lean Cuisines. I mean, every girl at my job is trying to be skinny, so our communal refrigerator is stocked with Lean Cuisines, fat- free dressing, and all kinds of raw vegetables. All of the girls go "out" for lunch, bringing back salads with NO dressing, and then take their fat-free dressings and put a tablespoon of it into their greens, and call it a lunch. My friend, who is on a strict diet and works out almost every single day, convinced me that eating these low-cal Lean Cuisine meals would really help me to lose some weight. Safeway was having a sale on these frozen lunches, which are packaged in these super tiny boxes... so I bought six of them. The funny thing was that since they were on sale, the freezer was practically empty. The only meals that were left were the not-so-good tasting ones, like chicken with vegetables. We looked at the sections that were especially sparce, and apparently everyone who is on a diet was interested in eating the Lean Cuisine pizzas, steak and cheese, and all of the other fatty sounding meals.

In any case, I was really proud of myself for buying some, and decided that starting today, I would eat healthy. I got to work and ate some yogurt, granola and honey for breakfast. By 11 a.m., I was ready to eat my lunch. At noon, I went and microwaved my swedish meatball and pasta meal. I finished, and was ravenous. Normally, I stuff a container with whatever it was that I ate the night before-- macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, lasagna, or rice and sausage-- so this was a serious issue for me. By 2 p.m., I was scouring my desk for something else to eat, and found a Korean Choco-pie. That's like a Moonpie. Then, one of the girls on my team brings out this big ass thing of cookies she brought from Taiwan, and I started eating those. Then, I went downstairs to meet with another department, and ate a huge handful of Skittles. By the time 5 p.m. came around, I was so cranky and hungry that I just jumped ship and went home. I was completely nauseated from being on the train for so long with no food in my stomach that I came home and ate spaghetti with sausage, mushrooms, parmesan, and a tomato and basil bread thing that we got from the farmer's market.

I'm such a pig, and this diet isn't working. My friend told me that I needed to bring something aside from the Lean Cuisine, like apples or oranges, or a salad. So much for my quick fix, right?

So I have to tell you how funny it was today when you called me every other hour to tell me the latest about your mom's visit. Isn't it awful? I feel like such an ungrateful bitch when I get annoyed by my mom.

Anyway. Check the progress of my new site. The religious ads are now gone from the home page. Happy sushi-eating!
