I'm losing interest in my life, and I feel like that may not be the healthiest thing ever.

Uh Oh

Geez...I had the greatest day ever yesterday...first I went to Chatanooga with Kala [went to the "zoo", flirted with a hot waiter at CheeburgerCheeburger, bought a Rosary made with 1937 post war Japan made alibaster beads, and then walked around downtown.] then on the way home we acted completely ridiculous and picked up Shawn and continued to be ridiculous, went to a LAME party, and finally ended up at Shawn's to hang out with the UK band Your Demise [they stayed the night] and twas awesome.

When James Tailby grabbed my arm and asked "Oy, is that a Vivienne Westwood tattoo??" it pretty much made my night.

Hardcore Joy.

I got "dressed" today, and it ended up being the most useless thing ever...after a half hour lunch with my brother[it took three times that to get ready] I was informed that immediately following lunch he'd be picked up by friends.  So there I was in my new sweater, alone in my father's living room...joy.

Deep Sigh.

It kills me that I have to sit here day after day and live in perpetual boy mode because I was too lazy and too stupid to get a job when I really needed it. I have a job now, but it is one that took me 212 miles from the people I love and the life I built over the last two years. I am under-paid, under-stimulated, and just as miserable as I have ever been. My "sister" left today to spend the week in SanFran. I am so happy for her that she got to go, but at the same time it obliterates my soul to know that I'm not in a place where I can take trips whenever I want. I am uninspired and I don't work on things that matter to me. I am biding time until Laet'li can once again step out of the shadows and I can begin to once again live the life I started in Memphis.

I hope I can survive until May.

So...I'm addicted to Sorority Life on Facebook. It's dumb, and monontonous, and takes up way too much time in my life, but I can't help it...I LOVVVVVVVE it!!

So sue me.

I feel like it's been forever, but I guess one of the inevitable aspects of blogging is that unexplained gap in posting...at least this time I didn't derail completely.

Anywhoozaliewhatsitsandwherenots...I "discovered" a little indie song bird by the name of Marina Diamandis a few months or so ago. She plays to the name Marina and the Diamonds, and has a poppy piano fused sound that is sure to instill within you a sense of optimism and a general upswelling of infallible happiness[not to mention the obvious commonalities with one Ms. Spektor] Well, much to my pleasant surprise...NYLON's facebook page posted a song today that is one I'd heard in the past, only this time it had been remixed by Passion Pit and was just tooooooo freaking stunning.

Check it out here, and become infected just as I know you inevitably will!!

Happy listening.

You are officially looking at Revolutionary Runway's new Creative Assistant. I am basically an extension of the Creative Director, and in charge of pretty much everything...all I have to do is get approval and then I make shit happen. Can anyone say super excited??

I'm heading to Memphis today, and hopefully by Sunday I will have negotiated my position at Revolutionary Runway. I do the work for the job I want, now all I want is the title and the recognition. I deserve it, and I will no longer work without it.

Wish me luck.

Does setting aside two hours of my day to style my wigs make me seem like a drag queen??

I noticed today that it hurts when I run...at first I was like "What the hell??" But then, common sense kicked in and I said "Oh.  My boobs must be bigger." 

One of my favorite parts about transitioning is all of these moments where little things have such a huge impact on me.  Like the other day, I found a picture of "Ryan" from highschool.  Being able to pick out all of the subtle differences between my facial features then and now;  It was enough to bring a tear to my eye.

I'm trying desperately to get a camera, that way I'll be able to record the changes in my physical state and have more of these "oh gawsh, I'm changing." moments!!

The Triplets of Belleville has long been a favorite of mine, but today I downloaded a copy with no subtitles.  I didn't think the film could be more powerful, but when you can't rely on dialogue to figure out what's going on...the true message becomes that much stronger.  Below is a clip from one of my favorite scenes.  Check it out, and watch the rest for yourself.  I highly recommend an unsubtitled version for your first viewing.

I've recently heard quite a few people talking about Tegan & Sara's new album Sainthood, and most of them haven't had nice things to say.  Most of the comments were along the lines of "Well, it's not that it's bad...It just isn't like their old stuff."  I must say, I agree.  However, I think that it's a good thing that Sainthood is different.  I've always been a fan of the Quin's but after a while I did begin to realize that a lot of their music was basically "indie" music for emo kids.  They've always been different, but upon closer inspection I noticed that their music wasn't really as mature as it could have been.  Whether or not they intended to develop such a juvenile image is beside the point, because that is exactly what they did.  Well, I am glad to say that Sainthood is a much needed break from the musical adolescence of their past albums.  Tracks like "Alligator" and "On Directing" seem to traveled quite far from the almost playground repetitive melodies of past tracks like "Walking with a Ghost."

Take a listen for yourself and let me know what you think [super cute video!!]

I instantly feel bad for complaining...so consider this...A RETRACTION!!

Here's some super smooth Shugo to make up for it!!

My nipples hurt, my hips and sides are sore, my back hurts, I'm irritable, I can't stop crying, I'm constantly cold, and I have three times my normal appetite.

It's probably not healthy that I've only listened to one song [and all of it's remixes] all day...Weirder still, is that it's not even my favorite song...

Oh well.

Here are just a few of my favorite mixes of "Ce Jeu".  The last one is my favorite, so I'm not quite sure why I didn't embed it first...

Happy Listening!!

Anyone who hasn't already seen/heard Taylor Momsen's band The Pretty Reckless needs to get on that like, uhm, nowish. The Gossip Girl starlet has a voice unlike the poppy perfectionists with whom she shares the spotlight. Scratchy, raw, and more powerful than should be possible in a sixteen year old...just might be my favorite actress singer switch to date!!

 FAVORITE TRACK--> Blender.

Enjoy!!

Today I noticed that my hips were sore, and it only took me a minute of self reflection to realize that they've been sore for a while, and I just haven't noticed.  That is something I've always had problem with...I'd notice that I had a huge bleeding gash and upon furhter introspection would go "oh shit...that's been there for hours!!"  I realize this doesn't really seem like too serious an issue, but let me assure you, it has it's problems.  For example, by the time I realize I have to pee, I've been holding it for hours.  I've had moments where I've almost passed out and I'm lucky my bladder has never burst.  I'm not too sure why my brain doesn't pick up on my body's physical distress calls, but I'm just going to put it in the box labled "ignore it till it kills ya"  along with my chronic dry heaves and my almost divine ability to find food that inexplicably contains potassium[which I can't have].

Oh well
