I walked into the clinic yesterday while one of the doctors who notortiously runs HOURS late was complaining about me being 5 MINUTES late. So, I went into my small storage closet and threw things around under the guise of "reorganizing." One of the nurses came in and said, "You're not fooling anyone." That made me happy. So, I banged around some more boxes. I haven't had such a nice tantrum in years. Don't know why I outgrew them, really...
On good ideas come 1 year late
I still owe myself a 30th birthday party. So, I'm going to throw a party for me for my 31st birthday and call it the "Oops, I forgot you only turn 30 once" party. I'm going to go and see my closest, dearest friends, fly on an airplane with free TV, sleep in a hotel, get a massage, go ice skating, attend a film festival, and play games. Sounds nice, doesn't it?!
On transitions
I have the weirdest feeling that my time in LA is almost finished. I'm sad because I made such a wreck of it and I'm scared because I have nowhere to go. I just know that I feel like a huge EXIT sign just jumped onto the horizon. I should start burning candles in the office - that should get me fired - for calm and direction.
On the holidays
I don't have time so take your Target gift card and love it like you've never loved before...
On bumpy rides
If I ever start a political action group, it's gonna be SWAN - smart women against nausea. California drivers have only two driving speeds - slam on the gas or slam on the brake. I have spent 5 years nearly vomiting while riding passenger! So, watch out California, one day, SWAN is gonna get you. I'm not sure how we'll function but it will likely involve the Utah Block - wherein 3 cars going exactly the same speed refuse to pass each other but spread across all the lanes, thus slowing traffic to their (typically) sub-speed crawl. SWAN is going to do that stuff all across California - teaching people there's nothing wrong with NOT sloshing your passenger's inner ear fluid all over the brain - green is not a person's NORMAL color while riding in a shuttle or van.

Right now I am laughing an evil laugh because I am your "in" to the Late 30th Birthday Party Film Festival and I am SO going to take you PARTYING!
Whether you like it or not.
Sounds like fun! Can I come. I'm a little late for my 30 too.
"You're not fooling anyone."
Totally love that.
Sounds like a SCRUBS moment.
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly does the end of your time in LA entail? I vote the beginning of time in, say, Connecticut. Unite the clans, all that jazz.
Can SWAN come to Japan, too? here, we have different speeds... run-you-off-the-road-cause-we-can't- break fast...
I'm not going to let you in so I'll speed up fast...
and
I know this isn't a parking lot, but I will park my car in this lane and tie up traffic while I run into this shop or store or bank...
the last one is what makes everyone slam on their breaks...grrr...I don't like it!
Cate & Sing - your invitations will soon arrive. I spent part of today planning and this will be some extravaganza. 3 cities - 5 days - I'm doing my birthday BIG TIME!
Dem - you clear the way and I'm there. I love Connecticut and lately it's one of the places in the air...I hear you guys play soccer and do some rowing thing...huh...that's worth a visit :)
Boy - SWAN is universal. I've begun to think it's the most important organization I've ever half-invented.
SWAN sounds like a great idea. My first laugh of the day.
Oh, and NY has lots of great hospitals. You could come here.
