It finally feels like fall here today. :-) Kinda cool (still a bit warmer than it should be in Buffalo this time of year, but I'm not blaming the warm weather on pandoraculpa moving up here or anything. Ahem.), and it has that autumn smell today.

Autumn means that it's almost Halloween/Samhain.
Yay!And THAT means that it's almost time for the snow to start ( Read more... )

So, we've been in Pennsyltucky at the good 'ol Butler Boardinghouse since Thursday night, and we drive back home to Buffalo tomorrow morning. Yesterday was a huge yard party/pig roast to celebrate my brother's engagement, my parents' anniversary (which was yesterday), and mine & Ol's Anniversary (which was last week). In true Butler Boardinghouse ( Read more... )

I spent today building a new floor in one of our upstairs bedrooms (we had previously removed the floor entirely before the last tenant. It's best not to ask why.) and cleaning the hell out of the apt. to get it ready for pandoraculpa and her daughter who are moving in this Friday. They're making the long trek from Richmond, VA to good 'ol Buffalo, and ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here drinking my Hazelnut coffee, and checking email before I run off to work, and I have the window next to me open and it's so sunny and warm outside!! It must be 70F out there today, which is as nice as it's been here so far this year.... of course, tomorrow it's supposed to drop back into the 40's & 50's for the rest of the ( Read more... )

I am suposed to be finishing up my paper on Film Noir that's due tomorrow morning... but am I? Oh, heavens no! What AM I doing, you ask?? Well, I'll tell you:

I am listening to Dar Williams, and drinking a class of Fresca, and thinking up quite convincing arguments for why I can't possibly work on my paper yet. ("I need to clean my desk up ( Read more... )

You know it's almost winter in Buffalo (and almost time to turn the heat on again) when you start dressing like THIS to sit at the computer in the morning:

SO, for the past week or two, I have been auditioning musicians to find new people whom I may deem “worthy” of taking into studio with me this fall, and perhaps join me for gigs. I had this horrible flashback to my years in theatre while auditioning people this week… one guy said to me “you have no idea how nerve-racking it is to know you’re ( Read more... )

I was just screwing around with my LJ settings (ya know, changing the style/look and such), and realized how rarely I actually post a journal entry of any substance. Now this is either because I just don’t have the damn time to sit down and gather my thoughts in a literary and amusing way with the intent of posting them, OR (and this is the more ( Read more... )

Holy Crap, it's supposed to reach 57'F here today!!
