Dakota

I have gained some weight in the last few weeks. It was been a gorge-filled festival since Thanksgiving, but I have calculated at least five Chinese food dinners since January began, and that's horrifying. I think I've been eating mostly meat. I've been trying to add more fruit, but I've established that the most frequent vegetable I've been eating is broccoli, but that I've been drowning that in soy sauce or cheese. Not with the good.

My exercise has also been nil since the beginning of January. Basically all I've done is Rocky. While I lost some during some strenuous shows (Christmas), it's all back now. And it's starting to really bother me.

So. Anyway. I used to be happy if I stayed lower than a number. I've gotten to the point where I am happy if I stay lower than 10 pounds more than that. And that's bad. Ok. Stopping it now.

A survey.

1. If you could build your second home anywhere, where would it be? New York City, center of the universe. Japan, if they spoke English.

2. What's your favorite article of clothing? My stretchy blue shirt; my CK jeans.

3. The last CD you bought? Gwen Stefani's Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

11. What is your favorite season? Not winter anymore because I have realized how much an inconvenience it has become. It makes me a little sad to admit that I no longer like winter. At the moment, I'll go with spring.

14. Can you juggle? I can barely walk.

15. The one person from your past you wish you could go back and talk to? This is a very dangerous question, because what if I didn't like what they had to say? I'll say Mr. Lamothe. So I can finally have the sex.

16. What's your favorite day? Saturday. There are infinite ways to spend a Saturday. All of mine end with Rocky, and to me, that's really good.
