King Crimson was amazing! 
My friend Rob had tagged along for a meet and greet earlier in the afternoon...Trey Gunn for those of you who give a shit. My ex, Amanda and her beau Keith caught up w/ us at the venue. Since most of the crew & staff at Toad's are Amanda's piercing customers or tattooed at Studio Zee in general, we were able...

Yay...picture change! I have to buy this movie on DVD in order to milk out some great screen captures. I only have a few so, I'll have to rotate every week or so.
So...what's new. Library books I'm re-reading before returning- This fantastic book on Arabic script, calligraphy and ornamentation... Some of it reminds me of this book of Islamic design I own, that's not...

hello cute boy. I wrote my update then I took a shower downstairs. That bathroom may not be pretty but the water gets nice and hot. You really need a good hot shower after a nursing home shift.
THings that will be great moving out of this house: +ability to chant mantras without mom freaking out. SHe hates all chanting of anything. weird pet peive. +ability to cook and prepare food in a clean environment of course. I was so happy with my sandwhich that I mad emyself for work today. I made more for the rest of the weekend, but miracle if she doesn't touch them. Of course there's other food as a sort of bait.... ben and jerrys was 2/5$.
I miss you very very much. `
roar roar roar roar.

So...I think controlled or predictable violence is absolutely bizarre. In working w/ the mentally disabled one, of course, meets a gigantic cast of chartacters-some cool, some not, some in genuine need, some just needy...just like any other section of the population.
What makes my smaller section of that slice different are out-of-sorts compulsive behavior, some remarkably violent compulsive behavior. The last group home I worked...

ITunes playing: Tool - Undertow. This album brings back a lot of memories for me, both good and bad. It came out while I was a bright-eyed and bushy tailed senior in high school. It was remarkable as a musician for it's stark, well-produced minimalism-everything within the mix serves an obvious function, everything else can be trimmed. That made up my emotional ideal for the...

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate them more than I can properly express. Circumstances may require that I go anonymous again and move my journal to another forum, but if I do I will let you know this time (that is if you want me to and stuff). Hopefully, I will be able to stay for awhile as I work things out.
Thank you as well for the book recommendation. I have added it to my list. Is it something that one should own, or would borrowing it from the library suffice? (I have bookstore connections that could hook me up with an inexpensive copy. I love my bookstore friends.)
Re: Landmark. It is interesting that AlienPrincess mentions it, because I have a friend who was very involved with it a few years ago. Trippy, huh?

nice picture...I love that movie...
Well, things are looking up... After four and half hours of meetings on my day off, I came back home, ate dinner & relegated myself to sit in front of this monitor and pound out the report I have due on Friday. I've been working on it for the past hour and it turns out this'll be a breeze...all my feet dragging for nothing. I've...

ITunes playing: Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball...it makes me jealous of my friend who had use of a grain silo for his recording studio's reverb chamber. I can only imagine how amazing an old fashioned wishing well would be. I was fortunate to catch an NPR story of a bloke in Canada using a decommissioned missle silo for the same purpose. They had audio samples...

11 is fine. I dunno if you want to have coffee, we could even make some over here. you could call at ten if you wanted. I posted a testemonial for you. You are very lucky I am nice and didn't get descriptive about where your freckles are. I love you soooooo much
tonydanzabot3000:
I'm sure you already have...but if you havnt...pay attention to the last 20-30 something seconds of 'A Day in the Life' by the Beatles. Now thats impressive.
I should add another entry to the "Fantasy" section below: Being able to call in sick at work when I'm genuinely sick. Being important at work sucks! 
I have that wonderful runny nose/sore throat/snot stomach combo which points to sinus infection...joy.

So, fun was had. I was able to hang w/ my old bookstore management compadre, Lisa. We've both been eager to gush on the goings-on w/ one another for a while.

Yet another semi-enjoyable double shift...at least, remembered enjoyable due to the fact that I'm no longer at work. 
Taking the night to catch up on sleep & get a lil' bit of my geek on. I've acquired a few new random CD's over the past two weeks. So, I'm going to perform a bit of the old importation & center-cancel the tracks I'd care to...

I must say, after playing with it for like 5 hours straight, the PCR 50 is a good fucking buy.
So, my Matrix tickets are burning a hole in my pocket. I'm going to the North Haven Showcase Cinemas 10pm showing. Should be fantastic by my reckoning- I'll be meeting some of my favorite people in the world at the Barnes & Noble next door, getting hopped up on redeyes from their lil' Starbucks inside. I plan on smuggling two things: 1) Spicy trail mix...

hello,dear. I hope the tickets didn't burn so bad it hurt.
So, tonight was number five of an ongoing series of nine classes I'm taking within my agency. Basically they're all courses on how to better teach autistic adults and students based on the characteristics of the disablility. I was struck on an amusing parallel... All of the methods to track data & results, standards of tables & protocols to teach skills are also used by...

Summer is my favorite too. Excellent choice. It is so sensual, just like a perfect summer day. One could hardly resist Summer personified in such a way.
I'm not sure how it is in your neck of the woods but, Fall in these parts is remarkably bi-polar. I've becoming accustomed to the time change...it getting pitch black at 5pm & all. I've also been bracing of cold weather, wearing three shirts, scraping frost off of my car and all the other nonsense that goes with Fall turning into Winter in New England....

Hi! Thank you for the congrats on my new ink. I really feel lucky to have had such a positive first experience. Good luck with your own upcoming ink job. What are you thinking of for your first? (If you don't mind me asking.)
Nice to see someone else out there who appreciates Gaiman and Art Nouveau. Yay! I have read The Sandman like 10 times, and I keep discovering new sublties.
PS- I love your profile picture! Isn't that movie a scrumptious treat?

Wow! You are brave for considering such remarkably detailed images, but any of your choices would be gorgeous, and lend themselves well to becoming a piece of body art. (Especially Beardsley. His stuff from Salome is so beautiful and frightening.) Which Mucha season? I have the Season series prints framed in my livingroom. His women are so lovely. It's hard to believe that back in the day, Mucha was a commercial artist. Such intricate, symbolic pieces for advertising art.
Like the Pooh Bear reference. I am often compared to poor scared Piglet. "It's hard to be brave, when one is such a small animal."

Wowie! It sounds like you had quite the weekend. Lots n' lots of fun (with the exception of the monitor snafu). I just recently went flat screen with my monitor, and I love it! It only cost $200 after the rebate. Well worth the money for the saved space, and lack of flicker, annoying buzzing, scary emissions et other whatnot annoyances.
Re: 12/14 comment
I'm still spinning my wheels to a certain extent, but just coming to terms with the fact that I don't have to become anything other than myself has been very liberating. We shall see what Dr. Feelings has to say about it when next we speak.
Thanks, as always for your friendly words.
