Jour Quinze

So I'm skipping yesterday's blog for two reasons, one I totally forgot to take photos and two I'm super behind and want to catch up on my veganism and not teeter out like I did last time!

I'll sum it up for you though, Film Production meeting (awesome), Photoshoot with Jason Corica (awesome), Watching madmen with Micah B (awesome), drinking one or two too many old fashions (awesome)(at the time).

I woke up Monday morning at 6AM on Micah's couch and without a hangover thank god. Because it turns out old fashions + Chips and guacmole + more old fashions + sauteed veggies + more old fashions = Drunkity DRUNK CRUNK DRUNK. ....who knew?

So I made my way home in walk of shame clothes from Not a Walk of Shame (I miss those days) home sweet home. To a still not purple wall.

Today for breakfast I decided to switch it up and go for some hipster vegan cereal. And low and behold I found out that Puffin's one of my favorite cereals is NOT Vegan. BooOoOOoOo. So instead went for some apple cheerios, fruit. YUM.

The big news for today is Sean is coming into town this weekend!!! yay!! So stoked to plan rio and have an all around blast with one of my favorite people. Chant it with me, rio. Rio. RIo. RIOO!!!!!

Today for lunch I ordered from Swingers, a place that I've been meaning to re-try for a while. I went once a million years ago for Trevor Cushman's birthday party at like 2AM and had a blast, but that was like three years ago. And I have to say, I was NOT let down.

And while we're on the subject: YOU'RE LIKE A BIG BEAR.



I got some vegan nachos, not because I necessarily wanted them, but because they were there. (and also because I ate fruit for breakfast.) and you know what. They were prrreettttty bomb. Not like blown away, socks knocked off like Hugo's, but still dank. Yeah, figure out those adjectives in zagat form.

And today is day 15, which makes it the halfway point of veganism! WOO! Go, Sassy, go! Go Vegan go! However, I do feel like I don't think I'm going to stick with this....there's just certain things I miss..like cheese....mmmm and eggs....mmmmm.....Although I DO think I'll continue blogging, it will just be about being a vegetarian instead of being vegan, I mean to the same effect right? It's still savin da animals!

Now I finally have the opportunity to talk about my french class....mostly because I have nothing dramatic to write about in this thing. ...OR that I care to share with the public (ooooo, maybe something IS going on that I'm not telling you about! TWIST)

Back to French. You might ask, why am I taking college classes? I'll tell you why. there's a trick that I'm totally okay with admitting that if you want to defer your student loans all you have to do is enroll in school part-time, so I have been attending Santa Monica college since finishing up at Chapman University in 2008. Wow look at me go, belonging to TWO universities, sooo smart! (not really, just broke. Well..kinda smart, but definitely broke.)

It has been shocking to me though, the level of education that the majority of the kids I interact with have had. It's really appalling. In one history class I took about half of the class didn't know what Pangaea is, and we're talking about grown adults here. And yet the government still wants to keep cutting funding for our education system. Yes, that's smart guys, just raise a breed of brainless sheep to be patriotic and vote for Sarah Palin.

In one of the classes that I was in, these two kids just sat in the back talking, almost OVER the teacher. Not only was it distracting, it was just remarkably rude. And the teacher just let it happen. Finally I was the one that turned around and told them to Shut the Fuck up (only slightly nicer then that.) I'm going to quit now, it just makes me so sad to think what this country is doing to the general population in denying them the education that they deserved.

But don't forget to vote for Mitt Romney this fall! We sure do NEED OUR EDUCATION DEPARTMENT TRIMMED.

On another note, did you know cell phones are totally allowed in classrooms now? Instead of writing down homework, kids do this.

WHERE'S MY PURPLE WALL!?!?!??

Over & out.

Jour Onze

Well, the blog has officially reached well over 1,000 hits. And evidently I'm big in Russia & the UK (oooo) Yeah, my home people! Ukranian's unite! Lets go eat some pirogi's! Can I eat Pirogi's? No...I don't think I can anymore. Boooo. Related note: best Ukranian restaurant I went to a few years back with my friend Anna and I went to in Manhattan, Veselka. OMNOM.

So lets start with today. It in fact is NOT raining. Yippie!

But it is f*cking cold.

What is up with this weather? Seriously?? Winter Yetti...I'm looking at you. I swear when I find you, we're gonna have a throw down and sunshine is going to shine through them clouds and LA will finally feel like LA again and not like every other city in this country.

For vegan breakfast I got so sick of vegan toast that I went straight to...a vegan salad from the Alcove! (omnomnom) So I eat salad for breakfast? Whatever. It was gifted to me by a co-worker the day before and still tasted great the next day, throw in some spinach, tofu, avocado, pecans, apples, vinaigrette. YES. Please. But, in my weirdo "I eat salad for breakfast" defense I was only able to eat about three bites of it before becoming totally full. I guess that's why people don't eat salad for breakfast...

For lunch today I impulse called Sabrina just as she was out the door to do some much needed shopping because....she GOT A JOB! YAY!!! (and in this economy)(please read in yiddish accent.) And it was even off the UTA list, which I thought was just a newsletter sent out to those hoping for a new job to encourage them to commit suicide for population control since no one ever gets a job from there. Regardless, Congrats Sabrina!!!

I was really craving an avocado roll for some reason, so we went to Kabuki down the street. Now besides the company at lunch being excellent, I'd just give this restaurant a B-, just no real substance in it and the service was super MEH/borederline bad. The whole place feels generic...but I guess that's to be expected. Give me something unique YO. It did s till do the fix nonetheless. (when in doubt as a vegan, just go asian cuisine. Easy)

We had a very lovely discussion about what's going on with our lives now over some miso soup..edemame, veggie tempura...mmmm. And as it seems now I am dating my career, perhaps one of the best boyfriends I've had. He's there for me when I need him, he's supportive, understands me, knows when to go away and sleeps with me every night! Yay cheesy justification for not getting laid! But in all seriousness, there is no time for dating these days for me as Sabrina and I discussed. It's either all or nothing. Like serious boyfriend that I can see when I want, or nothing, because that in between stuff is Bullshit and a waste of time. (no not still just a wee bit bitter over break up with MS)

And then at the end of the day...one of the best things EVER happened to me....

I saw an acupuncturist!!!!!!!!
...That probably wasn't what you were expecting.

Now you won't understand this if you don't have CHRONIC SEVER BACK PAIN EVERY F*CKING DAY. But if you do....imagine if you went somewhere and 90 minutes later...it was magically gone. Yeah. best thing EVER. This woman Stephanie Hayman was AMAZING. She is located in a cool office in Larchmont Village and I immediately felt calm, relaxed, and ready to get poked with needles. Look at me...all Vegan and Chinese Medicine getter now.

But honestly the experience was just oh my god, can't stop gushing about it. Afterwords it was like magic. All my pain just vanished, POOF. GONE. And she was super sweet and stayed later/let the appointment go longer to make sure I got the treatment that I needed. So yes. HIGHLY recommend.

Afterwords, I went to my wifey's house to pick up her car for ye ol' Car switch. Well vespa for car switch. I had to run errands involving a car, plus it was going to be raining and then of course getting Micah from the airport tomorrow. (Italy, wutever.)

Her roomate has joint custody with his ex girlfriend of this dog...and it scared the shit out of me. Like, WHAT IS THIS THING?! ARE YOU AN ANIMAL? If so, that's an animal I would eat cause it just looks retarded. I'm sorry. Just straight up retarded.

Now we're off to step four, HOME DEPOT PAINT CHOICE. Well first run into old college friend, Cindy (! small world!), then HOME DEPOT PAINT CHOICE (Exotic Purple). For the record the way that sounds in my head is Home De. Pot. So that's how it should be read in this blog.

And I'm spent. Can't wait to come home Friday and have my room magically be purple, YEAH.

Over & Out.

Jour Huit

Wake up and I'm still in the Valley. AHHHHH!!!! Just kidding, it's not that bad. This house rocks, it's the rest of this town that freaking creeps me out like no other...Why, why are cars so big and so gas guzzling necessary? Why so much bag jeans and trashy hair do's?

Anyway, wake up, say goodbye to dog and go on my merry way to work. While driving count my blessings that I live literally five minutes from my office. Since other people can multi task on their phones while hitting the road in their four wheels, I would lose an infinite amount of time driving around on the scoot if I had to go further.

Today it has been decreed that I'm going to re-decorate my entire room. I figure if I'm going to be 25 1/2 on Tuesday, I might as well start acting like a grown'd up and have a grown'd up place aka, get rid of all my college furniture...which is all of it....

I'm going to do a whole new color scheme, no more ugly depressing black, red and white. We're going lavender purple, yellow & white. YEAH. Maybe some orange thrown in there as well. a touch of green. BAM. It's going to take all summer, but I'm up for the challenge.

This monday resisting Monday Wonderful Cheesy Bagel day was actually very easy. I'm finding the further into this I go...the less I want to eat dairy. Does that make me crazy??? Maybe...I haven't had a real craving though. In fact I feel a lot healthier, despite you know...eating a shit ton of carbs yesterday on national "I'm hungerover day." (word misspelled on purpose)

Easter Hungover Owl

Let's also take a moment to give observance to the nommy vegan cookies that ended up in the office today.

One thing I did today was help construct step one of the epic Sassy overhaul that is happening to my career starting RIGHT NOW (well started a few weeks) ago. And epic step one was designing the title page to my site. So many choices, So little time!

Finally this one was picked & I am TRES happy with it:

Woot woot! (Putting up now since these blogs are obviously post-dated and it's already gone online.)

Enough of that, Back to veganism!

For lunch I got EPIC FALLFEL SANDWICH from "Desert Rose." A restaurant which we've already covered re: mob front & Mandy Moore. And I'm STILL convinced is a front for the armenian mob. When I called up the guy took 5 minutes to find a pen to take an order. Literally five minutes. Now this isn't sooo weird, but if you think this is a restaurant that supposedly delivers, and I was calling the delivery line. ....how many places do we really think this delivers too? and why is it always empty?!?

But honestly, my falafel sandwich was BOMB.COM and huge. I attempted to finish it and sadly failed. It's interesting to me that a lot of the great vegan options come from the Middle East & Asia, places that are also so big on meat as well. Dare I say a meal like this makes me want to stay vegan forever? ohhh nooo

After work I came home to the most delightful surprise ever. FREE MONEY!!!

Well not exactly free money, but it was a refund on my taxes. WAHOO! This means I can finally go to the acupuncturist to get my back freaking fixed. It's been in such pain for months and I complain about it all the time like the old person I am. Ugh, I AM a single spinster at 25! NOoOoOOoOOoOo

In other news got through another episode of my webseries. YES. Episodes Intro, & 1-5, DONE. only 6-12 left. Lets see if we can get those all done by Monday shall we?

Honestly, other then that I don't have a lot to report today. In the records of the records this will go down as a day where a lot was accomplished but none of it was sparkling or dramatic, besides the 40 minutes I watched of dreamgirls before I went to sleep.

Hmmm lets make something up then...

I started a diary, got set up with my moms friends son, he turned out to be a prick, then I dated a prick who dumped me for someone skinnier, then the son showed up at my door on my birthday, then got in a fight with the prick, then aliens came and blew up earth.

Yup, that was my monday night.

Over & Out.
