another year older and deeper in dept...

so yesterday was my 27th birthday. It was fairly uneventful. For some reason i had no desire to make a big deal of it, and I'm not really sure why. I spent the whole day in my pijamas on my couch watching tv. And i woudl love to say that it was magical since this is pretty much my perfect set up, but it wasn't. I got my period, had cramps, and it was cold outside. It was sort of, dare i say, depressing. I dont' really want to dwell on it because it might make the whole thing feel more tragic but it was by far the least awesome birthday i have had yet. Note to self: massive birthday celebration is essential to starting awesome new year of life. Nick agreed that it was lame and he said he would throw me some other sort of celebration called "Cri2.0" next time i'm in DC. Oh which reminds me, i was in DC this weekend and i saw the official beginning of the cherry blossom festival. beautiful indeed!! The city turned into building intermixed with pink cotton candy trees everywhere! brosssoms! i haven't seen a flower in months so it was very refreshing to see things in bloom. DC is a really beautiful city. My only problem with it is that it's very spread out but the buildings are so gorgeous and it just makes me want to get an old house there and transplant it back to california. People were dressed moderately better than i remembered last time and it was a decent place. I could potentially grow to like it, but we'll see. As with all cities i can't afford anything so exploring teh nightlife is a stressful and triffling experience. But it's nice to have somewhere an hour flight away that i can run to when i need an escape. le siiiiiighhhh

so nick is looking for a job. Do any of you have connections in DC??? anyone, anyone?

Also we watched the movie "Synedoche, New York" while i was out there. I highly recommend this movie. I might have to see it again because in true charlie kauffman style, it was way out there. It's the kind of movie that drags and drags and you are about ready to give up on it and then the last 5 minutes it blows your mind and you realize that the dragging was necessary. Anyways i'm curious to see what anyone thinks if they've seen the movie. it made me think, mucho, and the song that is playing in the backgroun is hauntingly beautiful.

anyways tory contacted me because she was considering doing a detox, after reading GOOP. no joke. Anyways it turns out that gweneth uses the same detox book that i used before!! naturally i agreed since i've been trying to do a detox forevs but just can't seem to put in the effort. So now i have a partner and we are detoxing...day 1: i had cramps all day from my period. not terribly successful but i stuck to the plan.
