I'm as big a fan of summer as the next person, but this weekend has been a little over the top in terms of heat. Uncomfortable, really.
This is fucked up.
So sad the weekend is over...

So I'm feeling a bit better after the whole miscarriage thing. I ended up getting a secondary infection after the event so I just felt like complete shit for a while. It's also been hard to shake the feeling that I fucked up in some way before I knew I was pregnant. There was this two week window in which I managed to fit a lot of "bad" behavior before realizing I was indeed pregnant.
The doctors assured me that there is no way that any kind of action at that stage coulda had any ill effect, but it's hard not to think that it was caused by my smoking, or drinking, or taking a xanax, or eating unpasturized cheese... seriously, you can't eat unapasturized cheese when you are pregnant. That means Brie is totally out of the question. Or Retin-A. Did you know you are not supposed to use topical Retin-A when you are pregnant? I really didn't know any of this. I mean, duh, I knew smoking/drinking/drugs were bad...but tuna? Yeah, that's bad too. So I guess I have just learned a lot for the next time.
And now, let me present the follow up on the recent Snapple incident:
From the
NY Times:
A
Shocking thing Happened to the Big Popsicle. It melted.
From the
NY post:
Snapple
Slips up in ice pop Flop
And from
NY Newsday:
World's
largest ice pop? More like red sea of slush
Still making me laugh.

Time magazine has this list of the 50 Coolest Websites that I was looking at just to make fun of, but surprise surprise there are some cool little-known stuff mixed in there.

Today, this story on Snapple flooding Union Square with fruit juice cracked me up. That's funny! Right? right?!
Georgetti got me a box of sweet, sweet chocolate in support of keeping CBGBs in NYC- incongrous, yes. But buy some chocolate and help a brother out.

I had a miscarriage this week. I was almost through my first trimester. The miscarriage was completely normal or typical, the fetus just wasn't developing correctly. Jim and I were assured that it was not my eggs, my uterus, his sperm or anything else that was a problem. But God, did it suck.
I am having a hard time adjusting to not being pregnant now. I mean my body started to revert back immediately, no more heartburn, naseua, no peeing every ten minutes, no more constipation, etc...But my emotions are all over the place. I also managed to gain ten pounds...I'm more one of those hippy-like "do what feels best" moms-to-be, rather than some type A, atkins eating control freak looking out for what will happen on the other end....So I ate whenver I felt hungry and whatever I felt like eating. And now I have to lose ten fucking pounds! WTF!!???
I totally smoked a full pack of cigarettes the other night after it happened, just cos I could. I also lost my voice the next day as a result, but it was well worth it.

Been gone a long time, busy doing a lot of nothing. So now I am full o' links...
Celebrities eating. Strangely absorbing.
Are you too a music nerd? (You gotta have some time on your hands for that one.) I am just a "mega music nerd." And seriously, some of that stuff I just know from working at a record store. But I guess that fact alone puts me in the nerd catagory. I met my husband while we both worked at a record store. Shouldn't that put me in the "hardcore" catagory?
Speaking of music Jen and I were in Brooklyn Industries yesterday and they were playing Damaged Goods so I went down the street and bought my first Gang of Four cd ever...the only Gang of Four I have owned has been in album form...see how old I am?
I also picked up Seperation Sunday by The Hold Steady and the new (or kinda new) Weezer. We will be rockin out. Oh yeah. Party.
Leese and I went to see Lords of Dogtown last week, which was kinda eh, but hey those boys are hot. Hot I tell you! And half naked. But if you have not seen the documentary on which it was based - Dogtown and Zboys - get your ass out and see it pronto.
I was reading this article in the Times today on skateboarding about the new breed of non-outlaw skater boys. Here's a quote:
"They're not there drinking or doing drugs," she said. "They're exercising."
Eeeewww. If you want some exercise, get some rollerskates.
