feminism

I feel like nowadays I would be looked down upon for wanting to be a stay-at-home mom over having a career. I mean there are careers I am interested in (I am going to nursing school still as long as I get in) but not more than raising a family.

this summer so far

Aside from not having air conditioning, it has been a pretty good summer so far. I'm starting school in about two weeks and Justin and I just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary. I've been staying pretty healthy, eating mostly healthy food and exercising with jenny. We keep each other motivated (i think jenny does a bit more motivating). I think when I am in school I will have more energy for exercise because I won't be picking up kids all day. I am trying to get some volunteer hours but apparently everyone volunteers in the summer and no hospitals have space! Oh well, I guess I'll just work more and save up some money (more like pay back my credit card bills from my trip to Japan). Also, I am excited to go see Hedwig and the Angry Inch live during Pride fest on June 28th.

Japan Pics

It has been a long time since I've posted and many exciting things have happened. For one...I went to Japan!! I will also be going back to school this summer to be a nursing assistant. I am still waiting to hear back from nursing school for the fall though.

Here are some pics from Japan:

Daibutsu

Imperial Palace Gardens

Shrine in Kamakura

Shinjuku Gyoen Park

Shrine in Shinjuku Chuo Park

The Sun!

It's a beautiful, sunny Seattle afternoon. I think I will exercise outside today.

Where The Wild Things Are

There is a Where The Wild Things Are movie coming out this year that was directed by Spike Jonze. It looks awesome.

Check out the trailer.

BSG Finale

So I was a bit disappointed in the ending. It was more religious and cheesy than I would have liked. The battle scenes in the first part were great but showing the dancing japanese robot at the end in times square, c'mon. Then again it was on the scifi channel so what did i expect (at least there were no giant mutant monsters). And it isn't really over, they decided unsurprisingly to make a special from the point of view of the cylons. Way to go capitalism. I know I will watch it anyway, I just hope it is up to BSG not scifi channel standards.

Yelling at Cats

My cat somehow climbed up to the top of my closet door and just walked back and forth across the top until he got enough courage to jump down. It reminded me of one of my favorite youtube videos...yelling at cats.

Fucking jump!

Do it you bitch!

Get the fuck down from there!
