Taking advantage of BeerDiabla’s theater connections, we got tickets to Kitchen Dog Theatre’s production of “Boom!”
Not so boom-y, methinks. Premise sounding better than actual, possibly.

Now this contained the “Three D’s”…Deviance, Dysfunctional and Dystopia but I think too many things were off - casting, costume/make-up
and possibly script - ( Read more... )

No casualties to report on a non-work, non-beer, sleep-filled weekend.

Saturday’s “Spanish Date Night” in which BeerDiabla and I supped at Café Madrid then watched “Sexy Beast” at
her place, went well. Themed date nights are a blast but there was something missing…

Sunday, we hit Kuby’s for lunch [but there was something missing…] and then saw “ ( Read more... )

What is sleep, anyway? Despite another night with a snuggle-happy BeerDiabla; things didn’t go well with a 04:20 call,
then the wake-up call at 07:25. Six down, one to go.

In The Disco Prior to HellDay
BeerDiabla’s theatre threw a fundraising gala with a disco theme last night and things went splendid. There was even an
operatic version of “Kung-fu ( Read more... )

Saturday BeerDiabla and I ate Chinese food [yes-chopsticks]; drank Japanese beer while watching a Kung-fu movie.
These themed date nights are working out quite well.

Du bi Quan Wang da po Xue di Zi
Master of the Flying Guillotine showcases most traits required of a so-bad-it’s-good Kung-fu flick:

1. Bad dubbing that inexplicably switches to subtitles ( Read more... )

Friday, DoctorDiabla's staff -not the doctor herself, called with the official results of the X-rays and stated there was no break.
Stick with an anti-inflammitory and continue with the antibiotic. I wasn't impressed with the attention received.

Strained is what BeerDiabla says, who's broken toes due to dance classes. Since she seems to know me from ( Read more... )

BeerDiabla is the business manager at the theater we attended opening night for a Neil Simon play. This was an interesting experience as high school was
the last time I attended a play -plus I got the whole behind the scenes view and VIP access [free beer].

Thinking ahead at what I’d like to see in the future -plus she hints at going to plays later ( Read more... )

Based upon the standards of rollerskating, if the amount of times one fell down is an indicator of quality, then I had the best time of all Saturday.

If you’ve laid off this kind of physical activity, the primary pain/muscle shock comes from those you’ve abused most in the past and for me that’s ankles/feet
as I played a lot of speed/death metal in ( Read more... )

No calls. I slept as normal people do -once again BeerDiabla helped warm the bed enabling a solid block of sleep due to last night’s festivities.

Blinky-Blinky Delayed -AGAIN
Management deferred the DASD repair again due to replication workload and recovery points for DR. The environment is so busy,
time windows are hard to find but during the week ( Read more... )

No calls. I slept as normal people do -when there’s a BeerDiabla in bed with them.
Not a solid block of sleep but enjoyable nonetheless. ;>

Tonight is BeerDiabla’s roller-skating birthday party and I get to meet a large portion of her friends.
No fun drinkie for me tonight since I'm on-call and driving. This should be interesting.

Now to bide my time ( Read more... )

No calls, I was up when Ops called on a B.S. issue. I slept as normal people do.

Blinky-Blinky Delayed
Management deferred the DASD repair to Sunday, claiming IBM can’t get it right.
This is partially true but more to the decision makers being ultra paranoid/chickenshit.
Consider Sunday evening wrecked.

BeerDiabla is coming over with dinner in a bit ( Read more... )
