Today has been rather a waste, though it's getting better. After not getting half the things done that I meant to get done today (who am I kidding? I didn't do a damn thing today), I've given up, poured a margarita (or 3 or 4) into a coffee mug (dishes being one of those undone things) and am now sitting by the flickering Christmas tree lights,

I enjoyed this post immensely. I don't know how it is that I've never heard of Bathory, Venom or Celtic Frost. :\

Haven't heard of the fathers of black metal? Hmmm. What could be the cause. Let's take a quiz, shall we?

1. You hear a sound like a cat makes when his tail gets caught under a rocking chair. You think:
A) "How delightfully loud and achromatic! I wonder if they're touring."
B) "Dear, God! Make it stop!" Then cover your ears with your hands and make agonized faces.

2. It's 1981:
A) You're a freak, the Led Zep fans next door complain that you stay up all night and play your records too loudly, and you wear entirely too much black, which isn't cool, DudeB) Your mother won't let you stay up all night

Ok, I was peering back at your journal just now and this struck me as odd....

"They've been calling me every few minutes to ask me stupid questions about everything from WWI artillery strategy. "

One doesn't typically meet women that knowledge of period artillery. Do you have a secret arsenal of 18 pounders or something?

I wish! No secret arsenal...well, not one of 18 pounders anyway. :> I do have a fascination with WWI and with the developments in artillery tactics during that period.

Seems to me, if I was going to prod anyone into starting up an ACK ACK Girl WWII re-enacting group, it'd be you.

I could totally get into that. I thought about doing WWII re-enactment for a while, but it seemed that there wasn't really a place in it for women unless they played Russians. Feel free to tell me more...
