those were the days...
many, many years ago today, I made a birthday surprise for someone that really never deserved one. It was magnificent and took a lot of planning. To this day, it is one that I have never beat with anyone else since, even when they did deserve it. It's frustrating to think about, so I don't ( Read more... ) -
yay minivacations!
SEA 3/24-3/28 with a road trip to PDX on the 26th for some silly Vampire Masquerade Ball with the Heather and the Ted...neither of whom have been to either place or to the pacific northwest at all
getting outta dodge is good -
WTF?
Have you met Ms. Heather and Uncle Ted??
Can you explain to me how they can convince me to do things that I may not want to do?
They got me to go to Vegas the first time.
They got me to go to Burning Man TWICE when I was not going to.
They got me to eat snails (tasty tasty snails)
They got me to eat haggis.
Uncle Ted got me to agree to go see the Dead ( Read more... ) -

I was born in LA and I left home at 16 for Sacramento. Somewhere in the middle there, I grew up in a tiny dead town full of fields and churches called Modesto...it's one of those towns that Perry Ferrel appropriately called the 'armpit of California'. There wasn't a lot to do there. Anyone with any strangeness to them instantly gravitated toward ( Read more... ) -
the death of writing
As I sit here on the computer I realize that I am not alone in my writing dilemma. I read posts from people all the time lately about how much they don't really write anymore, that the internet has crunched us all into short attention span status updates that are 140 characters or less..that people miss sites like this where they can just let loose ( Read more... ) -
resolutions
I don't normally indulge in the resolution business. Most of the time I do what I want to do - and I don't need to make myself false promises at the beginning of a year in order to convince myself of what I plan on doing.
However, last year I made a couple of promises to myself since 2009 was a disaster and I had a lot of friends leaving at the ( Read more... ) -

So those who know me well, know that I'm a music fiend. I cannot get enough of the musicians that I love - I've maxed out credit cards and traveled across the country, just for shows. Even the people I know with the widest array of musical tastes have laughed at me when I insist on seeing someone I like a 10th time. When I like a band or a singer ( Read more... ) -

So.....
this Sun./Mon. is the only weekend I have before New Years to go away. It was supposed to be Reno...a hot tub and a foofy drink at the Fireside Lounge was the perfect remedy to losing two employees,having a manager on maternity leave through the entire season and an owner on vacation for her own big Black Friday sale.
Then the entire state of ( Read more... )
