So, there's actually been stuff happening that I haven't been posting about. *gasp* No real reason why, other than me being busy getting ready for my trip to Canada and then being on said trip! But in the wake of the deaths of a family friend, my cat, and my employee in early summer, I took some actions - work-related and personal life-related.

( More about all that... )

Walking home today, there was a section of sidewalk where a car had parked half on the sidewalk, leaving only a narrow strip to walk past the building. I saw this guy coming from the other direction and figured I'd wait, no big; wasn't really paying attention but he stopped and waved me through, which was nice, and when I said thanks he looked up ( Read more... )

I'm having 'em. There are a few things I was going to post on tonight, but I've been distracted by finishing up a log with oh_johnny_ (that will be posted tomorrow), posting another one written with asknosecrets (that turned out to be absolutely gorgeous, thank you again, Jack), and gathering stuff for the Reading festival, because we leave Thursday morning. And my ( Read more... )

Tonight was actually the kick-off of the Stay Gold 2007 Canadian tour, so those of you in Canadaland wishing to see The Bouncing Souls may get your chance! :D There's a couple dozen dates in the big cities and some more obscure places right across the country, and the last stop is Victoria, BC. I assume TBS has a website where you can get details, ( Read more... )

I got suckered into going to a sex toy home party tonight and I can't get the uber sweet strawberry scent of the dick-numbing cream out of the back of my hand - nor has the feeling come back all the way, lol. I say "suckered" b/c it was a bunch of people from work and assorted daughters and friends and stuff. Although my horrified visions of it ( Read more... )

Got mah hair cut today. I was going to do it next week but it's been royally pissing me off so since I was out where there was a decent salon I asked about walk-ins and got it done. It's not quite as cool as the last person cut it but it's good and my bangs aren't in my fucking eyes anymore woohoo! The mom and I are going to finally colour it ( Read more... )

I got home about an hour ago. The party was a lot of fun. The band that played the last time was there - the guitarist is Teresa's cousin - and when the bass player was goofing around with a bunch of us in between sets and asking for requests I was drunk enough to tell him Green Day was my favourite band, so for a kiss they played When I Come ( Read more... )

I was unsuccessful in my mission to get the new Hawksley Workman CD today. (Okay, yesterday, since it's technically tomorrow already.) There must have been some issue shipping them or something; no one has them. I talked to the guy at CD Plus though and he'd thought it was in March, but upon checking the computer discovered I was right about the ( Read more... )

I was talking about chicken soup when that exited my mouth, but it made me laugh. Wouldn't be a terrible life motto, I suppose. lol ( Read more... )

^That would be how I think of this particular pair of socks, lol. They are black ankle socks with black hearts embroidered on them, and inside the hears are Canadian, American and British flags. :-D I think I bought them downtown the last time Mel was here in the summer! I'm having Mel withdrawals b/c she was here around this time last year. * ( Read more... )
