Beware of big guys in hockey masks carrying farm implements. Whether their name is Jason or not.
Actually, for Witches and Pagans it's one of the best days ever! So it's gonna be a good day for me...
Yesterday I got the back yard mowed and cut some rhubarb from the big ol' plant next to the house. I'm going to...

Sorry I ran off so fast. My ride showed up sooner than expected and was quite impatient.
In all honesty I would run for elected office if a) I had the money to spare for the campaign and b) I thought I had an ice cube's chance in hell of winning. But sadly, the chances of me being elected in Alberta are slim. It's a pretty conservative province as a whole and I know that the majority of my personal views conflict with those in power and those who elect them. Ontario just legalized gay marriages. Alberta's premier (like the state governor or whatever) has vowed to fight to keep it from happening in Alberta. The mayor of Edmonton (where I go to school) announced Gay Pride Week yesterday. Because the court ordered him to. He's been rather open about his anti-gay stance. I would refuse to pander to common opinion. I stand for what I stand for. And sadly, that won't win me a great deal of support. But hey, a kid can dream right? Who knows...maybe someday...
Also...Bruce Lee is my freakin' hero.

What's the first thing you do when you open your email program each morning? Yes, that's right - delete spam. Enlarge your penis! (thanks but I don't have one.) Refinance your mortgage! (thanks but we already did.) Cable TV descrambler! (thanks but that's illegal.) Hot wet teens taking huge 15" cocks up the ass just for YOU! (thanks but no thanks.)

Fear not. I'm doing alright. Just...worn out and headachey. I'm sure I'll be fine. But I thank you greatly for your concern. I've added you to my AIM. Perhaps I'll be able to have a chat with you soon.
Wow, yesterday was pretty much a waste. I was all ready to exercise, but was overwhelmed by neck pain (must have slept wrong, happens every now and then), headache, queasiness, blech. So I took some medicine and slept most of the day. Didn't get anything done at all.
Neck still hurts but not as bad. Will definitely get lots of things done today, plus library....

P-town has all the cool festivals.....i gotta get up there one o dese days.
Instead of exercising like I'd planned an hour ago, I got sidetracked taking pics of stuff I've found in thrifts and posting them to the Thrift Shoppers group.... Yes, I am easily distracted.
The weather's been far, far more tolerable the past couple days, praise the Goddess. Byron's boss suggested we think about getting a heat pump. I think it sounds like a good idea....

Yeah, just so. I came away with alot of respect for people who have mullets. I've even been thinking about all the people I've known who had mullets, and rethinking some of their decisions in life that were mullet-based. (ie: "Cut the mullet?! No way, I'll just find a new job.)
I think about going back to school, but having spent eight years in two colleges, I've reached the conclusion that having degrees is nice, but everything I want to learn from here on I can learn under my own steam. Although I always did see myself getting a Masters or maybe even a Doctoral. Who knows. I hope PCC is a good time for you.

I dreamed last night that I finally worked up the nerve to have some "naughty" pics of me taken for the BBW group. The photographer?

So long, Franchise...
On a lighter note, we did indeed go to Lloyd Center yesterday, had lunch and saw Finding Nemo. If you haven't seen it yet, I command you to do so RIGHT NOW!!!
No really - everything about it is great. Pixar can pretty much do no wrong, as far as I'm concerned.
Got up to 91 yesterday; had to sleep downstairs on...

I did finish the book. Email me your address and I'll send it to you. I don't think I would recommend you spend money on it, but it's worth the read at least for the shock value.
My take was this...
She definately is "damaged goods" when it comes to mental stability. I think this adds to her abilities as an art critic, as I feel critics are all fucking nuts.
The book is enthralling, at least in it's candor and shock value. Her perspective on life is eye opening, and educational, but after a while it became almost predictable.
I don't want to say too much more, as you should get your own perspective. Maybe we should start a book club and send books all over the country.

There is a shop in fort bragg, CA called triangle tattoo......It is run by a wonderful old school tattooist named Madame Chinchilla...I met her once, and she was really really cool...... she's probably about 60 years old now, anyway, she has this "wall of women" by her station, It's basically avery large collection of women that are tattoed.... they have atattoo museum there too......I think you might really dig her..... check her out........
98 degrees yesterday.
You heat-lovers can have it. Can't move, can't breathe, can't drink enough ice water. It's "only" supposed to get up to 89 today, then thank the Goddess, back down to the 70's next week. Again, just in case I didn't make my opinion of beastly hot weather clear -

You're lucky. Here we only got 6 sunny days the whole month of May. It won't stop raining and warm up!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm implementing some of them. It's been way to hot in Seattle too, but not so bad as 98. Sheesh.
In case you're wondering, I dropped the Radio. Just plain Bastet now. Actually, all the screen names I've considered sound phony and silly. I may just end up using my real name. But for now, we'll try Bastet on for size...
Oh, and I just took the new profile pic in our living room a few minutes ago. Got my hair cut last week. It's...

I actually am preferring to use this, my middle name, over a screen-name.

The Holland Report Part 2 is coming, folks, honestly!! We watched the Heroes and Villains special last night, and then this morning for some reason I didn't wake up til after 10, and the nosebleed I got Monday night has returned, etc. etc. etc....

Awww... thanks!
Gomez is a good, snuggly, devoted kitty, so I miss him.
You know... I would love a protection spell of some sort. I don't have the energy to do one right now, and I don't dare try a circle with all of these negative thoughts.

People, my girl alisa is hurting. Please go visit her and let her know how much she means to us, that she's not alone, and that life is worth living.

Woooo...Dame Edna.
You know, I NEVER see Chaos as fucking anything up. The problems in my life all issue from myself.
I have asked Trickster to enter my life, but I have not gotten an answer. He is purposely not wanting to. Perhaps I'm not ready? Or perhaps he doesn't come into me, but rather I into him....?
I think it's the second, but it's a doozy of a step. I am not near that stage in development.
'NEW' friend? Have I only NOW just gotten your attention?
I really must flirt...I never flirt.
em...no..no Kali yet.
