putting the knit in shizknitz

From the June 2006 Instyle Magazine (yes, one of the most intellectual mags I currently receive)…

Quoted from Heiki Klum’s husband, Seal:

“If Heidi were a piece of music, she would be Gustav Holst’s ‘The Planets’
Because she is:
Powerful like Mars
Peaceful and loving as Venus
Knowledgeable like Mercury
Exciting and childlike as Jupiter
Wise and mature like Saturn
Magical and sexy like Uranus
And complex like Neptune”

Good thing he left out Pluto since it is a planet no longer.

Will post photos and yadas here. Stay Tuned

So its been rough since returning to LA. I had one whole day of orientation, welcoming 180 fresh new faces to Bschool. I’ve been busy organizing for next week’s activities as well, being class VP. Then it gets tougher.

Tuesday we went to Sasabune, one of my favorite sushi places. I seemed to lack having good sushi up north as I swore I had never tasted anything so damn good before. The omakase seemed better than usual. My good friend Jane made us double choco chip Kalhua cake. Amazing.

Wednesday I went to Bob’s to get my badly needed haircut. He took about 2.5 inches off, releasing about 2 pounds of weight off of my shoulders. Capped it off with dinner at my favorite Pakistani place. “You’re back!” It’s so nice for them to remember…

Today, I went to Burke Williams with my GC’s - and spent a good few hours there. I started off with a nice shower, some time in the steam room with ice cold lavendar scented towels, a nap in their quiet room, 25 minutes in a mud bath, some waxing, then an hour of the most amazing facial ever. I then picked up the most amazing powder ever, an all organic, 30 spf thing that comes in its own brush, that makes my face glow. It’s all natural and smells like honey and has significantly brightened up my face compared to my usual Shiseido powder I’ve worn for the last…. how ever many years.

Tomorrow, we head off to Santa Barbara Wine Country for the weekend.

Told you, life has been rough. School starts next Wed.

After a very boring drive down “the 5″ (okay you can take the southern californian out of southern california, but she’ll still put THE in front of the freeway sign) yesterday, I was greeted by the glorious traffic only LA can provide on the 405. Add to that some mildly humid and warm weather. T and I dragged my stuff into the apartment (which he had so kindly cleaned and I messed up with all of my stuff)…I now awake to typical morning weather - a little foggy, already humid and “I can’t decide if I’m cold or hot”…

I need to quickly transition because orientation starts tomorrow.

BTW what was the first thing I ate returning to LA?
Titos chips and salsa

I never watched that show 24, but isn’t that where Kiefer Sutherland saves the world in 24 hours? No problems, then I should be able to make every single one of my miracles happen in the next 48. Friday at 5 PM will be the most glorious day since… since… the last time I went through Finals.

Then maybe I can get some sleep. I’ve been working since 3 this morning.

I think work is making me crazy. I’ve been looking for my kleenex box EVERYWHERE.

Today I found it in the fridge. Yes, tissues, nice and cold.
