Hmmm, roller-coaster birthday? That can't have been much fun, the first part. *huggage* But, you made it through to the good part. Wow, when do you stop to take a long breath - Saturday? I admire your whirlwind dervishness. Glad it mostly seemed to come out well overall.
First it was roller coasters metaphorically, then literally. I wish you lived closer, mon cherie! *I* woulda cooked you a birthday dinner. :D What'd you make?
Reading your schedule makes me realize I don't go out. I don't even have plans for Halloween..I didn't even buy the copout witch's hat.
another brisket (this time in two parts - one larger piece for the boys in the main house, one smaller piece for t and i since we eat 5 hours later and it was too much for one pan) - with potatoes cooked in the same pan and a salad
and downtime - yep - next break will likely be saturday
but i'd rather be busy than give my brain time to run in circles atm - and dancing keeps me sane...
as for going out - why not make time to do something fun once a week - i know you're crazy with work and all that but still - i know you're at least a semi-social creature, and you need time with other people too
I'm so sorry I flaked on Sunday...hypnobellaOctober 28 2008, 20:47:56 UTC
I broke out in hives while on a run in Silverlake that afternoon, and when I got home, I took a antihistamene that knocked me on my ass by 7:00 pm. I slept for 12 hours. I'm an asshole, I know.

no you're not; and you probably needed the sleep (plus, we called much later than we should due to me being stupid and not bringing the phone to 6 flags and thinking we should call when we headed out of the park, but that was hours later than anticipated at almost 9pm)
want to try for this sunday? i think you'll still be in town sans kidlet and this may be the last chance for a while...
they're doing a masqued ball at mal (ie: loads of pretty costumes, but they're not required - they do at least one ball a month)
if you'd like a masque and don't have one we've got several between the household (of course mal is the steampunk/victorian dress side of the g/i scene anyway, so goggles and/or falls + pretty = costume to them)
Definitely better than the original. But then I'm one of the people who never really got Rammstein... if I want to listen to KMFDM, I'll pull out my old Naive...
but being old i find it too nu-metal for my taste - it has the wrong beat structure (old skool industrial built mostly on funk beats underneath the crunch; rammstein et al not so much - and i want to enjoy dancing to my industrial tyvm)
Okay, maybe. I tend to think I'm always the oldest person in the room. (Sunday night, except for the soundman, I was. As usual. And I actually found that out for certain Sunday-- the two guys I thought were my age are 37 and 38. sigh.)
And I like nu-metal. (I rush, rush, rush to clarify: some of it.) I kinda have to, having moved to Cleveland the same year Mushroomhead put out their first album. Nu-metal was born a couple of miles from me.
But Rammstein... I mean, I know people who haven't liked anything since The White Album who've drunk this particular Kool-Aid. And as much as I try to convince them that SO much dance-industrial is SO much better, they all look at me funny. (Well, I can understand that. I have been trying to turn these guys onto Merzbow, Whitehouse, and Current93 for the past decade...)
lol - not the oldest - 95% of the time that would be me... (although on my flist i do have one friend irl still spinning at 43, and another who'll be 42 in december - but then the next closest would probably be you, gus, et al at 40

The video is beautiful! We caught Apocalyptica a couple of weeks ago; they were really good live.
