Ah, nothing like kicking back with a bottle of Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade at the end of an overcast, slightly drizzly but still rather toasty afternoon...

You know, I've never read a Harry Potter book, but I'm just so damned happy that people are this excited over BOOKS! You've gotta love it. 
Mah goodness gracious me, 3 gentleman callers last evening!! FreakPirate, mydeconstruction, and Mr. Hunk-a-licious himself (Vim, that is) all AIM'd me within minutes of each other. How come I wasn't this popular in high school?? 
Endless thanks, guys; you made my day!

OK gang - the friggin bellydance video is finally complete!! I posted it on the Lifestyle board, but cut to the chase and go here if you'd rather. It's a pretty huge file, so it may take a while to load (and it's only 4 minutes, geez!). The sound is about 10 seconds ahead of the video; apparently that happens in lower light conditions. Oh...

Ooh, I wanna dance with a sword on my head! Actually, I want even more to swallow swords. I don't suppose you know anyone who could teach me sword swallowing?

HOTT.....with 2 t's
It's 1 p.m. and I'm still in my jammies. We didn't get to sleep til 1 this morning, so we begged off going to the Summer Solstice thang (that's OK, Solstice isn't until next weekend anyway). The Brothers of the Baladi show last night was SO great!! They played stuff from their new CD, some old stuff, and had 4 bellydancers. One was Cammi from...

Whee! It sounds like you had an excellent time. That's good!
I had no idea that Dame Edna was Bruce... But that's so cool. I enjoyed the movie a lot. I'm very glad I went to see it. To make up for feeling like little kids at Finding Nemo, David and I listened to Rush and chuckled at Geddy Lee. We also cursed him for having far more talent than we do. A good evening.
And today...I relax.

Belly Dancers are the BOMB!!!
(I've never used the phrase "the Bomb" until I started hanging out here. You people are corrupting me already.... I like it!!)

I..... AM...... PYEWACKET!!
Call me Pye.
In honor of my 1000th post, I'm changing my name to something still Witchy, still feline, but much less pretentious than Bastet. You can see Pyewacket with Kim Novak in the movie "Bell Book and Candle" in my profile pic. I think it's one of the cutest names ever, and I also once had a cat named Pyewacket. So,...

Nice name change.
I really should go to these salvation army places and all that. Everyone seems to find all kinds of cool stuff really cheap.

Friday night kind of did me in (physically and financially), so I ended up curling up on the couch with the dog an a video instead. But I'll take a shot and say the show was awesome.
I'm pleased to report that the rhubarb cake was a smashing success!! Byron raved about it, and it DIDN'T upset my stomach...! So, here is the recipe:
Mix together:
1 1/2 c. sugar

1 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Add:
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1 1/2 c. diced rhubarb
Mix together separately for topping:...

I love your new profile pic!
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.

Mouthwatering.
It's Friday the 13th!!!
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.

My hubbie loves too much coffe man, he has a tattoo of him.
Pirates are soooooooooo uh coool. Kiss me, I'm a pirate. I have to go see that cheesy pirate flick this summer. I have to see any movie with animated skeletons.
I came home early from work, boss man wasn't too impressed, but he never really is. Maybe he'll do me a favor and fire me from customer service hell.
