	DAILY UPDATE APRIL '09 ARCHIVES happy post april 15th! jiggly puff is finally back. let's see, where do i start. this was my billionth busy season and man, it never gets easier. but i'm not going to get into that right now because you guys have been reading about this kinda stuff for the past six years and are probably bored outta your minds. so i've decided to talk about fun (i.e. non-work related) stuff instead. a few weekends ago after work i visited olympic spa for the first time in my life. for those of you who are unfamiliar with korean spas, basically you walk around in a huge locker room and let korean ahjumas scrub you down until you're practically raw and bleeding. i know it sounds masochistic (probably because it is) but holy cow, do you feel good afterwards. oh yeah, and you're completely naked the whole time - no clothes or bathing suites allowed! the ritual involves jumping from the super hot pool to the hot tub to the cold plunge to the clay sauna to the jade steam room (remember, you're still naked) until your number is called. you then climb on top of a table in front of other six chicks (yep, we're all still naked) and get scrubbed within two inches of your life by somebody your mom's age who is wearing a black bra and saggy granny panties. it is PURE BLISS, i swear. and btw, they scrub EVERYWHERE. i mean EVERYWHERE. like the "wow, i'm pretty sure this is bordering on sexual assault" kind of everywhere. i know it sounds a little icky, but c'mon - $30 to get groped in public? not a bad deal! let's see, what else. i celebrated 4/15 today by buying a new pair of prada heels. they cost me a bajillion dollars, but you know what? i've worked a more than a bajillion hours these past couple of months so i don't really feel guilty at all. besides, this economy is in need of some serious help and i am just the person to do that. speaking of needing some serious help, what's up with all the people protesting at today's tea parties all over the US? GET A GRIP. wah wah wah i don't want to pay taxes, our president is a socialist, no taxation without representation, cut government spending, wah wah wah. seriously!? you've got time to stand around with signs and tea bags stuck to your clothes (which btw, looks even stupider than it sounds) while the rest of the nation continues to work its ass off? i've said it before and i'll say it again: i will gladly pay my fair share of taxes to fund this awesome country that we all live in. the freedoms that we enjoy every single day DO NOT COME CHEAP. i'm all for peaceful protesting for just causes, but come on, tea parties are SO not what we need right now. so take the damn teabags off your clothes, put away the ridiculous signs and get back to work so we can get this economy back on its feet. whiners. jeez. now i'm all worked up and the whole point of this post was to be cheerful. ARGHGHHGHGHHG. i found this picture from our paris trip a few years ago. haha. that's how i feel today. i also read a quote today about obama simplifying the monstrous tax code becaused it's "far too complicated." haha, good luck with that, mr. president. i guess when that day comes, my job will be obsolete. sweet, i could use a vacation anyways. ok i'm outta here. later kids - i'll try to update more soon.
