I Need A Minute

Oof... great. I don't have any icons on my new computer...

Hang tight.

"Faced with the andriods conundrum..." 






So... today I got my very first MacBook Pro. :) I am a little too happy about it. It has been named "West". (Understand that or divorce me... hehe...)

Jennifer has adopted my old computer, though I still have stuff on it that I need to get off... :-/ Unfortunately my hard drive is completely full and so I'm kinda fucked there for a second...

This computer is so fast that it's already next week at my fingertips.

I already have plans for the computer. *snickers* I'm sure you'll see soon enough or something.

I'm tired.

Jennifer has a blog now that she has a computer... she's pretty excited about it... www.readbeforeyouspeak.wordpress.com

Lord knows when she will have it up and running... I have done my part and now I pass it on to her. :)

Everything that I want to talk about I can't talk about... huh. It always ends up like that, doesn't it?

Let's just say that I'm extremely happy for the moment and that I'm looking forward to something. You'll know about it soon enough and I will hopefully have something to share with you.

My video blogs for Monday's seem to be quite the little hit. People ask me some great questions on there... you can see them over at www.youtube.com/thejodieplatz along with some Monkey videos that I've taken.

I still have to upload some videos from Mechanical People back in March... I will get to that, eventually, I suppose.

Today I bleached the top half of my hair in hopes of getting back to blonde and pink soon enough... working on it... errr... it's... going. Some of it turned out a bit orange because my hair was red/brown... so... that's interesting... oh well, it will be pink soon. :) Pink will cover up orangey.

I want to put a 100 Monkeys sticker on the front of my Mac... I think I lost my stickers though. :( I don't know where they went to at all. *sad*

The Changes That Go 'Round

"Do you love me babe? What do you say?

Do you love me babe? What can I say?"

It's been a long while.

I always feel bad and end up apologizing after I haven't been around for a while... I'm too nice.

I just got back from SBL ATX and two Mechanical People shows... to which, now I am bruised and still exhausted. Honestly, I'm scared for tour. Though, this tour will hopefully be easier than the others because I'm trying to lose a good chunk of weight before it starts.

My weight is something that I've battled for so many years. Believe it or not, I was once underweight. Now, of course, it's no secret and I don't hide the fact that I am overweight. (I also know that's an understatement, however, I hate the other word...)

Fortunately I have good people around me who are always willing to either help me lose weight, try to motivate me or to just offer their love and support to me no matter what size I am.

While on the road I always end up losing a ton, which makes me happy. I just plain don't have time to eat and since I'm always on the go I burn a lot of calories... on the last tour I lost 15lb in 8 days. That didn't suck. I tried to keep it off - and I did for a while - but I got depressed and my weight ballooned again.

Regardless... I'm excited to start this new venture towards weight-loss. I *was* trying to get Lap-Band for the longest time, but unfortunately that just doesn't seem like it's going to happen. I'll try a few more things before I go rob a bank to save my life. (No credit = no Lap-Band for me.)

Right before I start new weight-loss things I always end up yapping about them tons. I just get overly excited for everything and all the brand new possibilities... No harm in being excited, right? ;)

Have you had a problem with your weight? What has worked/not worked for you? How do you cope with it? How does it make you feel?

Please respond. I would love to hear from you. :)

Oh Hai

I have not liked a pop song as much as I like LOVE Ashley Tisdale's "Crank It Up" in a hella long time. Probably since Hilary Duff's "With Love". Oh crap. Is this the return of pop? I sure hope not. I'm not done with indie rock yet, y'all... but damn, this is a perfectly structured pop song. Good job, Tiz.

I leave for Vegas in two days. The countdown on my computer basically scared me with that. I am so unprepared.

Last night I got SOME clothes together, but we have to do laundry again Friday morning (we are leaving KC by 9p Friday night) so there's really no sense in "packing" just yet.

To Do List:

-PACK.

-Make CDs for the road trip.

-Buy snackies for the road trip.

-Paint nails?

-Do face mask thingy.

-Shower/straighten hair

-Bathe the dog -- someone remind me of this, she reeeeeks!

-Set up booby traps

-Bring Fun Sized Edward

-Wash car? Nah.

-Pop bubbles.

-Find something to wear to the concert.

-Talk to my liver about what is about to go down.

Tis all I can remember at the moment. Anyone think of anything else?

That's how you make me feel daily.

Just sayin'.
