I likely could not, in fact, have danced all night - I'm not even close to stamina enough for that.

But danced I did, as my partner and I decided it's time for us to get together and see how we do, so we danced on Sunday evening like we used to.

We took it fairly easy on the pacing, choosing mellower tunes (and maximally familiar ones, so that ( Read more... )

My people quotient has gone way up lately.

First there was a brunch at a friend's house - she gathered about 10 vaccinated people for a meal and a movie, and I even managed to be attached to an edge of a mini cuddle pile.

Then, we had a trio of friends for a cookout, and it felt marvelous to socialize with all three of them without faces in boxes.

I find myself in the unusual condition of entirely out of theater to do in the future. I have been working very, very hard to avoid this, because this is not normally the best state of mind for me, but that is how the cards have fallen out.

I did have a project I want to do which will require a zoom-based staging to pull off, but I spent over a ( Read more... )

We had that thing going where we'd eat area restaurants in reverse alphabetic order. Well, when we got to D (two years ago) the one restaurant that qualified was this joint called Daniel's Restaurant. We drove to it, found that it had something of a terrifying biker bar vibe about it, and decided that perhaps we'd best be served by moving on and ( Read more... )

We have a rental property. It's a townhouse we used to live in, and I am very fond of it, and I've been renting it out because I don't want to let it go.

Our tenant before the most recent was a nightmare. They couldn't pay, they whined instead of moving out, they whined more when they got evicted, and they trashed the place requiring thousands ( Read more... )

Here's how it went down two weeks ago.

That Saturday was a remarkably good day in my brain. It's rare for me to be energetic and up to projects, but we got a whole lot done around the house and got much accomplished. The stage manager for the show I"m in dropped off a prop and we chatted outside for a while and it was amazing, driveway cicadas ( Read more... )

Slightly less than 24 hours later our Facebook accounts have returned.

We don't actually know what happened.

But I can kind of sort of breathe now. Originally posted at https://leiacat.dreamwidth.org/348282.html. Please comment either there using OpenID or right here. I read both with the same distracted semi-frequency.

[Edited to add: I seem to be back now. I think I can breathe a little better]

Well, hell.

My facebook account got disabled. For community terms violations. With no appeal.

This is a result of being an admin for my theater troupe's Page. On which we are advertising for our upcoming show. Marlowe's Faustus, which we set contemporary, and made the ( Read more... )
