update and thoughts

So my first book club meeting is fast approaching, and apparently the professor that is coming invited the English Department head. eek! We have also changed one of the books we are reading. Instead of Anne Radcliffe's The Italian we will read Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray.


Still living alone in this castle of a house. Its getting a bit comfortable during the day, but nights are still creepy and spooky as ever. Thank goodness for alarms and my Marsona Electric Sound Conditioner. I call it my sleep mate.

So I have caved and joined up at LA Fitness. Why? Because I took up Kickboxing again and found the most amazing instructor. She is awesome, yells in your face and makes me push myself like I really haven't been lately. I feel like I am getting stronger every day.

In other news, you may know I used to be addicted to Diet Coke. -But NOT anymore! I have been through my caffeine withdrawal period and have successfully been enjoying only tea and water for the past 2 weeks, and still going strong! Its funny I have been having less headaches since I quit DC, when I used to need one to get rid of headaches. Perhaps they were the root cause of my chronic headaches in the first place... It is quite liberating.


This past weekend J and myself attended an IBM potluck which included stuffing my face and chatting with J's upper management and coworkers I already know. Supposedly I got a positive review from the coworkers I haven't met! (Yesss) I brought my mom's spinach dip and sweet Hawaiian bread, which also got good reviews :-).

The Kaplan LSAT test prep is officially kicked into gear. I took my full length Diagnostic Test. It is a mentally taxing skills based exam but with practice I think it will be a manageable hurdle. My test is 101 days away. The countdown begins...

My thoughts regarding something that has been festering... I won't name names... BUT when you warn someone about something their supposed best friend is doing behind their back, then they ask them what was up with said thing, and that friend lies to their face or leaves out what they actually did, and after being confronted about said warning as a false warning and apologizing for assuming, you find out more information that further confirms that they lied to the someone going exactly with what you had originally warned them about, do you say anything? or let the person who was betrayed believe them and still claim you assumed a falsehood with the hopes that one day they will commit a similar friendship offense and say nothing? I dunno...
