moved

No wonder, I didn’t want to wake up and managed to sleep away most of yesterday: the fucking leftover moving madness, the roach stowaways, and the frigging endless amounts of work. So here goes another one of those ‘what I had for breakfast’ posts like a few weeks or was it months ago.

Woke up bright and early at 5 with Chad, then stayed in bed reading on the ipod until 8:30 Could.not.bring.self. to get up and deal with the mess. Chad, always empathetic (read ‘enabling’, mostly kidding), pointed out that moving over the weekend was not an easy task, and naturally we are somewhat drained, physically as well as other ways. Well, whatever the sources may be, all I wanted to do was sleep more, and I came up with about a zillion reasonable arguments for doing just that. It wasn’t until I spied myself deciding for the unconscious ‘oh I’ll get my way’ approach of just fucking …

Bella!

Set up a funnel trap with many delicious crickets, put delicious ctickets in terrarium moved near the suspected bella zone, all heated and water misted… Turned off all the lights, all music and other sounds, left for 4 or so hours, no Bella. No bella after all night either. Crickets are really good at dying, it turns out, about 2/5have died though they have food and non drownable moisture.

SO, the entire moving process switches to plan b, which is lesser from a number of angles. Internet was already turned off here, so i fancy all i can do is ipod blog over pinons connection. Gonna miss you pinon. Youve always been there for me when our connection is having trouble:P thank you for not securing your stuff.

Reserved the truck, and so plan b here we come. Not as much time for moving on plan b, but hey it will just get done that much sooner. The thing thats …

master cleanse

today is day 5 on this master cleanse thing. check out therawfoodsite.com for instructions if you’re interested. I got more interested in trying juicing and more raw foods since reading the Gerson therapy stuff. I wanted to start juicing and take on the protocol for a true Gerson therapy regimen, but we’re almost out of this insect haven place, and the idea of busting out the juicer and coating all inner working parts with yummy fruit and vegetable juice (read ‘insect honeypot’) just doesn’t rub me the right way, so I figure fine, I’ll do the master cleanse thing first. Additionally, I’ve read and I can see it being true, that doing a cleanse or fast before going even-more-raw can make it much easier because fasting resets the body’s tastes and eliminates cravings from built-up toxins. So, anyway, it’s going quite well. I have to say that the site above and the book I ordered (all the info …

get in bed someone will fall in love

[SRT is a line that popped out at me while walking from a Marilyn Manson song, and summarizes one of the main gripes of my 20s. beyond that it *is* pretty random (the R in SRT) and has more to do with trying to decipher what is this like/like/dislike thing with the band itself]

they planted trees all around the track! sure it will be 60-80 years or so before they are anywhere near as magnificent as the big ones in the back of the park (also actually babies themselves compared to how long trees can live if given a chance), but they have that presence of tree, all the same. more trees.

feeling really spread sort of thin. too much work, should probably find more people to do it because i’m not finding enough time to project manage and get all components done. so then I’m also not finding time to see to responsibilities as GSJ mod, let alone catch …

secret chiefs and iodine

the semi-Gerson diet is going well. I think these first few days we’ve been withdrawing from salt –aesthetically, and more into physically..as things progress. It sounds insane, but in the Gerson book they talk about people passing 5gm of salt a day in the first several days on the Gerson plan. Anyway, so iodine supplementation is part of this thing. I couldn’t get the Lugol’s solution, but Whole Foods had this Liqui-Kelp stuff. So I took one dose according to the bottle, once daily the first couple days. The next day I took it twice. Not that noticeable effects are necessary, but after reading the book and many online comments on the benefits of iodine supplementation such as ‘you definitely feel it’… I got to thinking , “how do I know this kelp stuff isn’t too dilute?’ . So I went looking online. The Liqui-Kelp says 150mcg per dose, so I just had to figure out what the Gerson …

provided there’s progress

walked 8 miles today to make up for just doing 2/3 the last two days. to be fair, days 1 and 2 of my cycle can be pretty horrendous, so i was happy with 2-3 those couple of days. it seems being on the pill flattens out the cycle in many ways, and makes the cramping and such much less angular as well. Took me a while to realize the connection after stopping the pill -the cramps got worse and worse. I never had really bad cramps in the first few years, then shortly after that I was on the pill for the most part of the time since then. As much of a very minor pain that such pain can be, I feel closer to nature and the mystery and all that to be aware and part of natural cycles rather than oblivious -how it feels in changing from flattened out hormones to natural rhythms. I mean these …
