ode to tiger



fight for change!

the wise words of billy blanks as i did my bootcamp training workout video this morning. it is a line that has been passing though my thoughts all day. i realized i thought change was a passive act. this lead to an aha! moment. i need to fight, claim and own the changes i want to make in life.

so what changes should i fight to claim? well, this morning i was attempting to work this sad body back into some form of shape. i am working on finishing up this degree i seem to never finish. the obstacles have been rediculous. getting my transcrips to roosevelt has been going on for a month now. and they still do not have one of my transcripts. but i will keep on fighting! those transcripts will get there if i have to...well i am not sure what else i can do. i have already tried to hand deliver them but that is against policy.

so i say damn the man!

oh the wonders of basil




so, i have a basil plant i bought about a month ago at the evanston farmer's market. it is great! and i am putting it to use. this past week i made a tomato basil salad and pesto. here are pics of the food and the poor over picked basil plant.

ah milwaukee




yesturday e and i went to milwaukee. the main attraction being the "masters of american comics" show. it was full of information and history; although a bit overwhelming for me. i really enjoyed seeing the progress of thought comics. this trip seems to be a yearly tradition for me and e, and it seems i will never escape the yearly pic of traci in front of the mam. ah well. we then walked by the lake and headed off to the a&w for rootbeer floats.
