....and I planted a rosebush.

I got soaked digging a hole and mixing in peat moss and manure mixture.

Then I planted the bush in the hole and packed the remaining mixture around it and watered it with fertilizer and water mixture.

I still have one more bush to plant and it's sitting in a bucket of water on the back porch - ( Read more... )

...last night at the Cantab, we had Jack McCarthy (New England crazy tour - the guy's workin' it and people are loving it) and it was great.  I think this was probably one of the most laid-back nights for Simone - it's nice when the co-hosts step up (and we didn't have a slam to run, either) so she can relax and enjoy (and get drunk - wooo!).

....I can sometimes do this - enjoying the things around me.

I planned to go skiing before it started snowing, and was out on the slopes with newly waxed boards before 6pm.  It was glorious.

There's no denying that being in a good frame of mind lets me enjoy these things more.  With the sadness of yesterday shaken off a bit, I could ( Read more... )

...if this keeps up,  erotic poetry night is going to have a lot more to worry about than Patrick S's crazy stuff.

Just saying.

I need my head examined.  But that's tomorrow.

*gasp*

....a boyfriend, not a fuck buddy.  More precisely, if it's going to be a relationship that doesn't go anywhere emotionally on purpose, there at least has to be some emotional attachment to hang on to.  I'm not good at just doing the "let's fuck" thing, I realize.  My brain is a bigger sexual organ than I thought.  That's good, too.

     For a while now, I've realized I need to pay more attention to my friends.

Not just the friends who might have a possibility of something more romantic in my future, but my good friends who have been there for me as much as I let them.  For a long time I've realized that I'm not good at being a friend with someone I'm not sleeping with ( ( Read more... )

  It's weird, I find myself thinking about this a lot.

So far I've found a way to bridge the two worlds (which rarely seem to intersect) by doing the weekly DJ gig at the Cantab.  My poetry writing is sporadic at best, and I'm never really satisfied with it.  There are people who are completely immersed in their writing "scene" and I like to ( Read more... )

....if I can get organized anytime today ( Read more... )

   So today I went skiing.  I started around 1:30 or so and stayed until the sun started going down, which put me back home around 4pm.   In between, I was going up and down the hill.  At one point I got hung up on the chair lift and dumped myself out, causing the highly humiliating stop of the lift so I could clear the wreckage that was me out of ( Read more... )

  Apologies to my flist for unloading like that, but I think it all finally got to me.

The problem isn't in dealing with the curves that life throws at me, it's dealing with the chaos that happens when things change in my orbit.  When something bad happens, I need to deal with it and swallow that pain.  What's been happening lately is I think I'm ( Read more... )
