Starving Tuesday, June 17, 2008 [ banter 1 ]

I'm on day 3 of the Cleanse and I've lost 3lbs. Nick says he can already see a difference in my face. To be honest, I haven't really noticed b/c I've been too busy STARVING. But Pride weekend is coming up and I'd really like to look cute in a tank top. Not cuz I'm after any action or attention so much (hello, have you seen my hotass boyfriend?!) but I just would love being one of those cute guys everyone notices. I used to be. About 3yrs and 25lbs ago. God it's WEIRD getting older.

I've been watching Northern Exposure on DVD lately, Nick got me the complete series for my birthday. God I forgot how much I love this weird show. What an unusual series this must have been to pitch to networks and producers... a cast of total unknown actors of all ages and types, in this boring setting, where nothing important ever happens. Yet it's so fascinating. They always crept this mystic, poignant tone and made you think about life... or maybe that was just me. The "Northern Lights" episode was one of my all time favorites. Holling and Shelly must have been the ODDEST couple on TV at the time, him being old enough to be her grandfather at the time. And I always had big love for Marilyn Whirlwind, always sitting there quietly knitting and observing; her shit was unflappable.

Dropped some frames off @ the optometrist today @ 116th, a red pair and green pair. Can't wait to get them back with my prescription, they're really cool. Stood outside the window of Amy Ruth's and let my mouth water at the chicken & waffles. Took the 2 to the UWS and deposited some money, cashed in some loose change ($52!) @ one of those Coinstar machines, and enjoyed the late afternoon rainshower.

Have to go to the courthouse tomorrow. Jury summons.
