my part time job requires extensive company research and i run across some interesting nuggets now and again. today i was researching pabst and the company information listed the ultimate owner as "kalmanovitz charitable trust." i thought to myself hmmmmmm....a charity owns a beer company? that's a bit strange, so out of my own curiosity i looked up this charitable trust and found the following blog from a couple of years ago:
http://www.milwaukeeworld.com/blog/2006/07/who-really-owns-pabst.html
yeah, yeah, i know - beer companies are about making money; it's just strange to me that the irs isn't being more aggressive about cleaning up this sham. they fuck with everyone else, after all. |

i really loved this passage and thought i would share.
In every installment of life's book, Bob Dollar knew, even when he was fourteen, there was a fat boy; someone's brother or school pal, the son of a deli owner, a youth aiming his life at building a low-rider, a discontent slagged out on some sofa with a can of Yoo-Hoo in hand, the one member of the gang the police catch, the fountain of knowledge at the porno video shop, the champion pizza maker at Benny's Underground Pie Parlor. He encountered his fat boy in Walgreens while waiting in line for one of his uncle's pain prescriptions. In front of him stood a suety person of sixteen, his round head bound in a black cloth imprinted with skulls and crossbones, his chin decorated with seventy or eighty pale blond whiskers and an assortment of pimples. He was wearing overalls with enormous legs--each large enough to contain a burly man--standing sidewise in line and addressing a pregnant woman waiting on a plastic chair. His sweatshirt sleeves were so long he had torn little holes at the cuff seams and from these holes his thumbs protruded, the cuffs themselves like fingerless mitts over his warty hands. He was not like other fat boys. He was not jolly, he did not smile appeasingly, his eyes were not naive and innocent. Bob Dollar knew instinctively that this was an evil fat boy. - Annie Proulx, That Old Ace in the Hole |

Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
U dont have 2 watch dynasty
2 have an attitude
U just leave it all up 2 me
My love will be your food |

winerafting was a blast! we ended up a group of eight and we had an awesome guide, ross, who was hilarious and one of us. the winery wasn't that great, but swigging back bottles of wine out of paper bags and floating down the river was tons of fun. we're going to try to get a whitewater trip going with ross...hopefully in august.
afterwards, we stopped in at another winery down the road to see what their story was; they had some live music and a bbq going and we played bocce in the rain. the woman who books the live music used to work in belltown and it was funny to run into her several years later and on a vineyard. we were able to do some barrel tasting and their first rounds of wine (under new ownership) were definitely on their way to something lovely.
all in all a lovely day! |

every tuesday is my biz networking meeting and even though i have to get up at 5am to get to it by 7:30, it's totally worth it. i get very amped and stoked and confident and it's a great motivational start to my day. i've already received new business from these folks, which is very cool.
speaking of that, this month i am tracking to actually make some money in the business!! for the past year, i have been breaking even, which is wonderful in and of itself, but this month there will be a little bit extra in the bank than what i take out and that's fabulous! i can't tell you how wonderful it feels to be making some progress in this regard, and it reminds me that hard work and patience really will pay off...slowly but surely.
i have to say that i am really happy with and proud of myself. |

biz
i just joined up with a weekly networking group which is forcing me to be Very Serious about my business--great motivation every week to develop my professional networking skills and also makes me work to further define what it is that i do and why someone would want to come to me. honestly, it is taking all that i am not to freak the fuck out all the time that i don't have an employer and i have to fight the urge to just supplicate to easy and get some part time job to make me feel like i'm a contributing member of the rat race. but several tiny epiphanies occurred during the beautiful (and silly!) hike sprocket and i went on on sunday, the core of which is that i just need to keep my eye on the ball, stay focused and i will do this thing. it will be self-supporting and i won't be living off my savings. it will happen, with work and patience, i will do it.
bodywork
yesterday, i had a superfantastic intense bodywork day that really schooled me. i started with an acupuncture session in the morning that was amazing, but really drained me. she did more spots on my belly, right around the no-no spot, and it took a lot of energy for me to maintain through the session. so when i got home, i was exhausted and i slept for most of the afternoon, leaving the house to go out to my aromalomi session that evening which was fucking amazing and delicious and the dude is really awesome and we talked about the class and i can't WAIT to take it next month. a lot of what he did was really similar to my innate style, so it was great to see that this will be something i can work in really well with my current sessions. and it really does feel like waves sliding back and forth along your body....so lovely!
napa
i am heading down to sfo the first weekend of august to see my main man and we decided we wanted to go on a little tour of the napa area, so i found this really fun and interesting looking self-guided tour that has a guide, audio cd and dvd that will take us through the history and lead us through different wineries. when i started looking at tours i was like, i don't want to be stuck with a bunch of jackholes and i want to be able to jump the d.g. any time i like, so this just made sense. really looking forward to it! i was joking the other day that we have been dating now for six months, but really, if you add up all the time we've been in each other's actual presence, we've been dating for like three weeks. silly!
hotness
for the Hottest Day of the Year on wednesday, i took rolo with me over to the peninsula and we had a big ol' dog party at the beach with chris all day. poor little city mouse rolo got his shit WORKED OUT and eventually was this sweet and needy little pooch that just wanted to cuddle up with me and who--omg!--actually curled up in the back of the car and slept the whole drive/ferry/drive home! this is a dog that usually paces in the back of the car so it was quite a change. we had tons of fun tho and it was so nice to just float out off the dock at indianola and bullshit and picnic and play with the dogs and just chill. splendid day! i'm really glad that i reconnected with chris.
homecoming
after three weeks of being in my little turret alone and running rolo's show, lee and dan are coming back to town!! i miss them, rolo misses them and (if she was ok with being honest with herself) lu misses them, too. |

going on a hike on sunday with sprocket; we were going to go tomorrow but i had a client book & work does take precedence...i guess. since i have lee's car for another week, i'm going to try to do some hikes during some of the weekdays around the area and also head over to the peninsula for an afternoon.
i start an aromalomi class next wednesday--very excited about this. it incorporates lomi lomi hawaiian massage with specifically selected aromatherapies & it is supposed to be very rhythmic and luxurious. looking forward to practicing with my fellow students!
in a couple of weekends i'm going winerafting. whoever thought up rafting between wineries is pretty rad.
i have begun seeing an acupuncturist/chinese herbalist and it's a very interesting experience. since i have only severe loathing for needles, i have to go to a happy place to keep from thinking about the tiny little darts inserting into my skin. eek! it doesn't hurt, it's just the visual that gives me the creeps. she keeps wanting to work on the no-no spot on my belly and even though i know i probably should, i can't go there yet. even thinking about it right now is making my belly vibrate in fear!
i worship this weather.
the best thing about the long distance relationship: love letters! only, since my last long distance thing, texting has been introduced into my life and so love letters are sent/received via mail, email and phone, which is quite nice. |

sunset @ 9:09
muzzled blue
hangs around in the backdrop
nowhere else to be
no invitations
since disintegration
left it covering up the stars in a haze
luscious breaks in
several nonsensical iota
twitter pate
fatten smudges
fuchsiafy luna's fingerprints
sliding along a musty schoolhouse
chalkboard
and weaving through glistening rawrough silk
a minor trick of the eye?
melted highlights?
how smoothly they begin to run together, becoming
pussypink perhaps

the lawyer i'm working on a contract for finally settled on a fucking design...after over 10 hours of work on my part (a figure he was astounded by since i was just 'cutting and pasting' his ideas) i now feel like (hopefully) this project will have an end and it won't coincide with my death.
in other news, i went over to the peninsula and saw my best friend from childhood for the day. funny, it was just like old times; it was a lot of fun and i'm happy to report we'll be staying in closer touch. conversation roiled over and we couldn't stop talking or laughing or bullshitting and it always seemed to be like that between us, and it's good to find out that it's still like that.
rolo wants to eat me alive with his excitement; i put a pillow on the floor by my bed so he can sleep with lu and i and won't be lonely (or pissy about laying on the hard floor) and he has taken to waking me up in the morning at 7:00 by putting his head on the bed next to mine and whining...like clockwork.
also, i'm a total girl and i love my boyfriend! |
