the Fast

alright, its day 5 of our cleansing fast. Last time I did this fast I felt great and functioned close to normally. This time has been a little different. The second and third day of the fast I felt nauseous, and the first three days I was freezing cold all the time. Also, we are starting to move into our new apartment tomorrow, and I work two jobs on monday and tuesday (both require me to be on my feet the whole time). So, for all these reasons, we decided to cut the fast shorter than planned.

I also realized that my social life hasnt been so hot during the fast. I didnt realize that most people drink or eat together to be social. Without eating or drinking, the only thing left to do is watch movies. I have watched a ridiculous number of movies this week (four in one day). Anyhow, I got my first paycheck from research (finally!), which is awesome. Also, we got a sweet apartment with three parking spots; I am so stoked! Thats about all for now.

As a typical virgo, I love making lists. Tomorrow I am starting a 14 day-long cleansing fast. So I am going to share a few of my favorite restaurants with you.

1. Poquito Mas
2. Chipotle

3. Tito's Tacos
4. Rubios (with whole wheat tortilla)
5. Buck-Fifty (no salsa, too spicey there)

I Did My HW

Alright Robert, this one's for you. This are events I would like to go back and witness. I didnt realize you were into jazz, awesome.

1. Watch Mingus play live in a small venue in New York
2. See a Shakespearian play in the Globe Theater
3. See Frankie Manning dance
4. See my grandma when she was a crazy hippie with ridiculously long hair (and supposedly looked just like me)
5. See the first NASA launch
6. See the Sioux in all their warrior glory
7. See Queen Elizabeth interact with English nobility
8. Taste the first wine to be produced in California
9. See Alcatraz when it was in use (I've spent the night there!)
10. See the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake

Its been awhile since I posted. Its weird, during the school year I am super busy, so make time for everything. This summer I just work, look for an apartment, and hang out in my room. But I will start posting more often. Also, Ro and I are starting a cleansing fast on Sunday, so I will probably post about that.
