Back to work

So I got back to L.A. yesterday and it's so lovely and warm to be back here. Kate was kind enough to pick me up from the airport, and help me haul the luggage up to my apartment so she is the current Best Person in the World 2005. Pig is sooo cute and is fine. Two eyes, four legs, and lots of spots. The travelling back was uneventful, except I did spend nearly half an hour in the bathroom at the Detroit airport. See, I was trying to use the paper seat covers but since I'm kind of nutty, I like to use three seat covers at once - I spread them out so that with all the over-lapping there's no chance that when I sit down, it accidentally shifts and I get syphillis. Or that the syphillis seeps through one and attaches itself to me - thus the tripling in the primary usage area of the seat. So I would lay down one, and then reach for the second one, but then the automatic toilet would flush, sending the first one down the drain. So then I'd have to put down one again, and reach for the second one, and then it'd flush again. I must have flushed the toilet at least twenty times, meanwhile freaking out about the microscopic pieces of shit that fly through the air everytime you flush a toilet. (totally true - which is why you should keep your toothbrush in your medicine cabinet) Then FINALLY it occured to me that I could just pull all three paper covers out, arrange them, and then lay them down all together. And then it turned out to be a "false alarm" so really, I spent all this time in the bathroom, getting microscopic shit and bacteria misted all over my body, for nothing.

So, I actually made it to the gym this morning. And it sucked. I haven't gone to the gym in over 6 months so it was really awful today. I did some running on the treadmill, and some weights. I have pilates tomorrow but I need to buy a mat today because I really don't want to risk getting plantar's warts on my face. Maybe I'll just lay down a full-sized beach towel instead of going to Target. Yeah, that sounds good.

I've done fairly well with most of my resolutions, except for the one about less t.v. There were like four back-to-back episodes of L&O on TNT last night and I just couldn't resist. Speaking of L&O, I am so sad about Jerry Orbach...I can't believe he's gone. But he lives in my heart forever... and on TNT forever... so here's to you, Lenny Briscoe...
