Tuesday, February 21, 2012 ( 11:33 AM ) shut up christine i don't know how it started but if makoto is home before i get there he will always, without fail, pretend to be unconscious on our bedroom floor and when i see him i will roll him over and slap him on the face to wake him up or pretend to do CPR on him or i will cradle him in my arms, rocking back and forth pretending to sob we are strange. i was thinking that one day, i will come home and he will be unconscious for real and i'll be super sad :( anyway look at this onion  i made makoto hold it so that i could take a picture of it am i the only one at the grocery store who marvels at how beautiful the produce is? and these! romaine lettuce, wrapped up like flower bouquets. on sale for 14 cents a piece! makoto bought me one i want to put it on our table, in a vase  Friday, February 17, 2012 ( 9:51 AM ) shut up christine cuteness overload  Pickles  Wee in Chicago, pic from Aldrich How to look like Ryan Gosling Tuesday, February 14, 2012 ( 8:53 AM ) shut up christine when i asked makoto what he wanted for valentine's day he said he wanted me to pluck my mustache. oh snap! but i do have a cray mustachio goin on right now, so at least he is honest. i respect that. fun fact: plucking/threading my mustache makes me cry. every. time. picture me sitting in front of the mirror with tweezers, crying. that stuff hurts in addition, i got him 3 bottles of minoxidil, i.e. generic rogaine, i.e. hair regrowth treatment. what a sweet, thoughtful girlfriend i am. fun fact about rogaine/minoxidil: it started off as an antihypertensive vasodilator medication (lowers blood pressure). they discovered later that one of the side effects was hair growth/thickening. so the manufacturers made it into topical form and marketed it as the rogaine/minoxidil we know today fun fact: my fun facts aren't so fun. i will relabel them "you didn't ask but i'm going to tell you anyway" i hope your valentine's day is as romantic as ours! # Tuesday, February 07, 2012 ( 10:39 AM ) shut up christine in other news, yay Prop. 8: Gay-marriage ban unconstitutional, court rules"Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California,” the court saidi liked Miles Christian Daniel's comment on this article: "Three years after The Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed, the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of Richard & Mildred Loving (an interracial couple), and in a unanimous decision declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute unconstitutional. Sixteen states, mostly in the southern portion of the United States, still had anti-miscegenation laws and were forced to revise them by then "activist judges" on the Supreme Court. Just nine years prior to this (1958), a Gallup poll showed that 96 percent of white Americans disapproved of interracial marriage. What's the takeaway? We're getting there - but ultimately marriage rights for same-sex couples MUST (and eventually will) happen on the federal level." # ( 2:25 AM ) shut up christine i usually go to bed around 8 or 9pm but i had coffee and tea earlier today and now i can't sleep so what do i do with all this energy? jump rope (without a rope), eat 90% of my new block of cheese (i just opened it yesterday! fatty!) and write my Advance Directive seriously though. if you don't have an Advance Directive yet, you should think about it as a courtesy and gift to your loved ones so that they won't have to wonder if they made the right choices i choose Makoto as my agent because i trust he will carry out my wishes and act on my behalf in the event of my incapacitation (huge responsibility. thank you makoto) it's not always a good idea to choose your spouse as your agent, because it can get emotional and such. don't get emotional on me, okay makoto? :) here is an electronic copy for easy accessibility in emergencies Directive made this 7th day of February in the year 2012 I, C.B., being of sound mind, willfully and voluntarily make known my desire that my life shall not be artificially prolonged under the circumstances set forth in this directive. I do not want my life to be prolonged and I do not want life-sustaining treatment to be provided or continued: 1) if I am in an irreversible coma or persistent vegetative state; or 2) if the application of life-sustaining procedures would serve only to artificially postpone the moment of my death; or 3) under any circumstances where the burdens of treatment outweigh the expected benefits. In the absence of my ability to give directions regarding the use of those life-sustaining procedures, it is my intention that this directive be honored by my family and physicians as the final expression of my legal right to refuse medical or surgical treatment and accept the consequences from that refusal. This directive is in effect until it is revoked. I understand the full import of this directive and I am emotionally and mentally competent to make this directive. I understand that I may revoke this directive at any time. putitinwriting.org free state-specific advance directive forms # Saturday, February 04, 2012 ( 4:12 PM ) shut up christine some things happen and life isn't the same after them -makoto is a game-changer. rearranged my definition of love. -volcano in nicaragua when i sat on a log and cried because for the first time in my life i truly thought i was going to die...definitely a game-changer. -the other day we went to trader joe's and they were giving out samples of cheese i unsuspectingly popped one into my mouth and i literally cried out OH GOD then clasped my hands to my face and whispered oh god, oh god and just like that my life is not the same creamy yet crumbly sharp robust complex beautiful you can't see me, but a teardrop just rolled down my cheek  |
