YUM. Bon appetit, mes amis. And you're welcome.

am sick as hell.
send minions.
w soup.




Dr says it's not strep or anything icky enough to require antibiotics & my glands are normal but I am definitely fighting off something.

am currently partaking of v sour japanese vitamin c lozenges. "house wellness C1000 physical candy vitamin lemon - for your beauty care, health and the change of pace."

currently wearing earflap hat indoors, flannel pjs & a fucking snuggie. C1000 physical candy is not helping me in the beauty department yet. I am, however, less inclined to remove my own tonsils than I was this morning.

If you resolved this year to treat yourself well, have more fun, see more friends, meet cool new people, then Original Cyn is the place for you. The same is true if you resolved to drink more, see more naked girls, and lose weight (hey, pole dancing is great exercise!)

Original Cyn is extra sinful with Metal Monday's NIK SIN hosting the insanity! You've had four whole days to recover from New Years Eve, now it's time to break in your new resolutions with performances by

JENNY C'EST QUOI
JEZEBEL TWIST
MISS MARY CYN
ROSIE 151

Where will this amazing night take place? 10pm at the Lucky 13 Saloon of course! 273 13th Street, right off 5th avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. F train to 4th and 9th stop, and walk just a few short blocks for a FREE show and notorious after party.

See you there!

Original Cyn Burlesque is produced by Miss Mary Cyn and Joe the Shark.

My mom got me a Laptop Lunch bento set for Christmas. It's the purple one, naturally. :) I packed my lunch for today in it, my first use. I had been wanting a new bento box, since I tend to have a hard time packing the banana one I have, due to the shape of it (long and skinny with rounded ends). Also, the plastic fork and one of the lids for that one have broken. My strawberry one broke as well, plus that one is really small for someone who tends to want to eat a lot of veggies with her lunch. If I fill up the big compartment with veggies, there's not enough room for the more filling foods. If I fill up the small compartment with veggies, it's not as much veggies as I'd like to have. Both are still useable, but I'm thinking I might use the LL more often now. Some thoughts about it:

1. Two of the main containers and the sauce container have lids in the 2.0 series. The other two containers don't. That's ok with me, since they pack pretty tightly in the box. If I keep wet stuff in the lidded containers, I should be fine.

2. The box is actually BIGGER than I really need. They mean for this to be for kids??? Sheesh! the only container I actually packed full was the one I filled with veggies. I was able to fit a load of stewed veg, three mini black bean burgers, a clementine, and a fortune cookie into the box with lots of room leftover, especially in the container where I put the black bean burgers.

3. On the plus side of comment #2, this means I can have less nutrient-dense foods when I want to. I can pack a snack of popcorn into my bento box if I choose. I can have a good-sized salad if I choose. I could make a big serving of tofu shirataki noodles if I choose.

4. On that note, I might get the alternate internal containers for the set. There's one that's pretty big, good for a meal-sized salad.

5. I might think about getting an insulated carrying case for the box, particularly for in the summer.

I'm actually very excited about today's lunch. I've made these burgers before, and they were awesome. The stewed veg, based loosely on a recipe I found online, is tasty. Clementines are pure love, and fortune cookies are always fun. My lunches had started to kind of suck. Putting in a little effort will make me happier.

A belated happy birthday to mama_hogswatch, evaelisabeth, nepenthe01, and etainwilson!

Happy birthday to today's birthday girl, library_sexy!

May this be a wonderful year for all of you lovely ladies.

Things I want to do in 2010

Paint more: There's a series I started years ago and want to finish and put on display in 2012/13. To do this I'll have to finish an average of one painting every two months. It won't be easy but I think I can do it.

Keep taking better care of myself: More veggies, more baths, more exercise. I'm trying to frame this all as luxury. Delicious veggie recipes welcome!

Make more/better money: Smitty recently became a freelancer (anyone looking for small business advice, let me know!) so money is a bit more of a concern than it already was. BUT I've been getting booked for better paying side gigs. Slipper Room has me booked three times this month and I'm shooting giant porn again in a couple weeks. I've also started shooting with RV again and taken on a more steady domming client. In the meanwhile I'm interviewing people about different industries I'm interested in and hoping that leads to a day job that I actually enjoy *fingers crossed*

Spend less time on the internet: Or at least less time mindless clicking back and forth from e-mail to twitter to lj to facebook. There are better things to do with my time, I'm pretty sure of it.

My goal for writing is to get the novel polished and start querying agents. I'm also going to try and write and submit as many short stories as I can. If you know of good places to fins call for submissions, let me know.

My goal for performing is to continue diversifying. I'm getting better at storytelling and doing it has made my teaching/public speaking better. It also helps inspire those short stories I was talking about. I'm burlesquing a good amount and am trying to force myself to do less new acts in favor of creating more polished costumes and less stress. Since I'm now performing in actual light it's time to invest in more lavish costumes and sparkleies.

I would like to say I'll post more but that really mostly depends on how my job situations pan out. I'll do my best darlings!

Quotes:

Jo Boobs: Today makes sense now! I love blaming things on my body. Anyone have a tampon?
Minnie Tonka: I do! This was Nasty Canasta's tampon.
Jo: Is it used? Is it signed?!
Quotes:

This is mostly for me to track appropriate winter-wear for myself.
I tend to wear too much clothing and then end up too hot. This is especially bad when I am going in and out of warm/cold environs. (cold street/warm transit, cold street/warm shop, etc.)
