Before I used the magic app – fat, tired and porous

After using the magic app – skinnier, happier and with more makeup! No wonder no one trusts dating profile pictures!

I didn’t realize how tired I looked until I looked at the after picture. Boo hoo.

After my many rants of being a fat fat fatty, I’ve gone on a health kick to get back in better shape.  This is what my life is consisting of.  Veg and tuna and cutting the carbs and sugar.  Wish me luck.

I’m not really sure what was going on with this street in Berlin, but there were two different restaurants with weird fast food characters. I was having a bit of fun with them. Yep. That about sums up my trip.

Don’t be fooled by this sweet sleeping cat

My cat hates me.  I love my cat.  This latest episode concretes everything that I suspected, but wasn’t quite sure about.

This is part of the note that I wrote to the cat sitter when I was leaving town explaining Oscar’s typical behaviour.

Oscar loves boys. Oscar isn’t too sure about women. He definitely likes to follow around the house and he is very vocal. He makes a weird sound with his throat all the time to voice his displeasure with the world or to ask questions or to give you a command. He is very bossy. He will tell you if he wants you to wake up by sitting on you in bed and making his noise and walking about restlessly. He is a cute little guy who likes things on his own terms. He doesn’t like being picked up or pet. I mainly let him be and love him for who he is. He also likes to crawl into bed to sleep and will probably scratch on the blankets. This is his sign that he wants under the covers.

And then last night I had this correspondence with the cat sitter.

Which basically leads me to the conclusion that Oscar hates me.  I seriously try my hardest to make him love me, but he doesn’t let me pet him and he never purrs when he is with me.  He uses me for food and makes me clean up after him, but I get no love.  Yet I try my hardest.  Mean mean kitty that Oscar.

I admit it. I’m a bit of an asshole at times. Today was no exception. Someone who was in their way to yoga tree and parked in the way of my driveway. I left them a special note.

It is reported that Lyft, the ride-sharing service, has raised another $60million in addition to the $20million previously raised.  Unbelievable!  In case you live in a Hobbit hole, Lyft is the car service that allows anyone to turn their four-door into a taxi cab.  It is like Uber for weirdos.

I have tried Lyft on a few occasions and have decided that the service is just not for me.  First off, it is a weird concept to me that I can get into an unlicensed, untrained driver’s car.  I understand that the taxi cabs in SF are just as random, but there is something disconcerting to me to get into a car of someone that is blasting loud music and the vehicle smells faintly of pot.  Yes, this actually happened to me before.  It was like catching a lift from a stoned 17 year old and it felt completely unprofessional and made me feel unsafe.

The other thing that I don’t like about Lyft is the barrier between professional driver vs random person giving you a ride.  I LIKE the separation of being able to sit in the back of a car and not have to talk to the driver.  With Lyft it feels strange, like the driver wants to be your best friend and wants to chitter chatter with you sitting up front.  I don’t like that.  It feels way to personal and awkward.

The other thing that I wasn’t impressed with were the prices.  My Lyft ended up costing just as much as an UberX would have cost, but was way more socially uncomfortable.

And the final reason that I don’t take Lyft?

I don’t want to fist bump my driver.

I think that sums it up.
