Steve Carlson at the Hotel Cafe
On November 8, 2024 my mom and I went to see Steve Carlson at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles. The Hotel Cafe is a cool music venue. I believe it has multiple stages, but I have only seen performances on the main stage; I have seen my friends Star Eyes (formerly known as Kristen Lynn and the Foxgloves) and now Steve Carlson play there. Steve came ( Read more... ) -
It's been a long time... again
This keeps happening. I get the urge to write but not the inspiration or the gumption to actually sit down and do it. I have been writing some by hand in a book, the very personal and introspective stuff that should almost definitely not go on the interwebz. :P Today, I have had too much coffee and even though I am often awake this late (about 11: ( Read more... ) -
Supernatural Convention Las Vegas
Hello LiveJournal! How are you doing? I haven't seen you for a while. :D
Last week I had the very great pleasure of attending my first Supernatural Convention in Las Vegas. I was a little afraid to do it, for a few reasons, but I am so very glad I did. I have grown a little more anxious and shy in crowds of strangers as I have gotten older, and ( Read more... ) -
A Year Ago
This past weekend marks the anniversary of my dad having a heart attack. He is fine now, and probably healthier now than he was last year ( Read more... ) -
Conundrum
So my interview Friday went well. I received a response the same day with an offer. That's the good news. The less good news is that the offer is for less than Blizzard was paying me, and less than Oakley had offered when they accepted me (before I took the job at Clear Channel). During my stint at Blizzard, I was paying less rent than I am now, ( Read more... ) -
What has been going on....
Things are going great with Dave. I really like him...... in fact we have gotten to the "I love you" phase of the relationship. :) It feels really good to be able to say that and have the words and feelings given back. I think we had both been feeling it for a while, but based on some things he had told me during our first date, about past girls ( Read more... ) -
Job Security is a Joke
In this day and age, I think Job Security is an illusion at best. I am about to be laid off...... again. We have some advance notice, which is nice of the company. Much better than being tapped on the shoulder and being escorted from the building after a manger packs up your cubicle ( Read more... ) -
Faire and Skyfaire
I found out Wednesday last week that another friend from Faire has passed on, Verlin. And on closing day of Southern (May 18, 2014) one of the founders of the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire passed as well, Phyllis Patterson ( Read more... ) -
Another friend I know from Faire has passed away
Cal Cotton has passed on and while I am glad he is no longer in pain or anything, I am sad for the loss of him. As we get older, and know more people, I guess we get to the point where these big "life" events happen seemingly more often. I remember in my 20s marveling at how many people I knew getting married, and then mid-20s and early 30s ( Read more... ) -
Living Life
I am almost done with the audio book Redshirts, by John Scalzi (narrated by Wil Wheaton). There were amusing parts, and overall, listening to Wil read it I think is what makes it most enjoyable. His narration style is funny to me. On the Amazon.com link the first review actually hits the nail on the head regarding how I feel about it, at least so ( Read more... )
