Yesterday:
Woke up.
Showered.
Went to work.
Worked.
Discovered a jazz version of Roxy Music's "More than This" by Charlie Hunter with Norah Jones on vocals that I didn't even know I had, and is so freaking sexy that it could honestly have any two people at random gettin' jiggy with it by the first chorus.

No worries. I stopped downloading about 6 months ago - and I've been very good at resisting that particular temptation. Thanks for the link though - now I know where to find it!

yep all the art on my "pics" section is my own. thanks for the commet. 
Bowie has rescheduled his Toronto gig for April.
That is all.
That is all.

There was no antidote pie, and there never was. My plan to off my sister worked. Shhhh...

At least you now have something to look forward to, right? 
So I survived the weekend sans Bowie.
I'm a little upset with Ticketmaster. 85 bones per ticket and I don't even get an email saying "The concert is cancelled"??? If the gf hadn't happened to hit the Toronto Star's webpage and they didn't happen to mention the cancellation right on the main page... we would have been out bus fare and paid for a rather...

I'm STILL sorry about Bowie! Will he return for a "make-up" show? Stupid Ticketmaster... bastards.
At least you had a relaxing weekend with your gf - that can be nice too! Have a wonderful evening!

yeah i hear ya about december birthdays, too close to christmas and you get fucked out of gifts, or you get the ever so lovely... "here this is your birthday and xmas gift" that really irritates me, maybe because i am super scrooge!
Bowie is sick and has postponed his Toronto show.
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Damn. I am SO sorry to hear that! Maybe the postponement will make it that much sweeter when you actually get to see him... 
Work, work, work, work, work.
The Pad Thai at lunch today was much better than last time, although still not as good as it can be from that restaurant.
Is it too much to ask for consistently delicious Pad Thai?

And so I have survived my 28th birthday! I think I was only one shot over the line (a feat, given the open bar). The room didn't start to spin until my head was already on the pillow.
I woke up early (it's my curse when I drink. I'm not fully rested, but I can't get back to sleep), used the... how to phrase it......

thanks for all that. I've been down this path before, and at times have probably employed items from your list in varying combinations to come back to some state of ok. w/r/t this weeks mounting stress, really the only answer is to patiently deal with the hearts of the varying matters and ride through it. AND WRITE.
thanks for all the well wishes and let me send you best regards post-b-day. congrats, you made it another one.

Happy belated birthday! 
Oh, man - what a week coming up:
Tomorrow is my birthday and the ultra-styling staff Christmas Party (fortunately, I work with a crew of pretty cool people), so it will be a knock-down drag-out celebration until we're all carted back and dumped in a heap on the floor of our hotel.
Wednesday is a bachelor party for a friend of mine that promises to...

Any friend of hers is a friend of mine.. happy b-day

Happy Birthday, man! As my present to you...here are the rules to my FAMILY GUY DRINKING GAME!
1. Must have HARD LIQUOR, not beer. You can drink beer seperately, but not as part of the game
2.In an episode, there's always short scenes that are literary or pop-culture references. When one of these happens, everyone takes a shot.
3. Each reference is someone else's turn to NAME the reference. Is the person who's "it" cannot name teh reference, they have to drink TWO shots in succession.
4. Anytime the show cuts to a compltely RANDOM scene that isn't a reference...everyone takes a shot.
That's it. Hope you enjoy! Good luck getting through the first few episodes....

Without contradicting my undying love for my job, one of the guys I have to work with most often can be such a freaking JERK sometimes.
He's a pretty good guy most of the time, but about once a season he manages to cross over a couple of pretty important lines regarding professional conduct and courtesy.
Rule of thumb: it's fine to swear like a...

We are back together.....but I don't know for how long. It is wierd to be back with him.....hes already acting controlling...he told me that it bothered him that I have a sg account. I told him I would not give it up....that it is not just porn to me....I have friends on here.
You know, the longer I'm out in this alleged "real world", the more certain I become that I'm the only person in any building I've ever lived in who has ever cleaned the lint trap in a dryer after using it.
I understand the occasional "I forgot". It happens, and I'm no mercenary. But this systematic abuse of the privileges entailed in the modern apartment...

Since you asked, my mp3 player is a little iRock 830. I love it's size and battery life, but not the memory! My husband and I each got one, and the idea of buying 2 expensive ones at once was too scary...
The workout mixes vary - there is one with Dance & Hip Hop to motivate me when I'm feeling lazy (slightly-embarrassing, guilty pleasure stuff like Gangstarr from the Office Space soundtrack & Janet Jackson, plus Beastie Boys, House of Pain, etc.). Another mix is Industrial & Rock (e.g. NIN, The Pixies, Jesus & Mary Chain, etc.). Then there is my 80's mix, which is especially fun and includes BOWIE...
It's great that you love your job. That's pretty rare, I find. Too bad about the Pad Thai though - it's usually so good.
I hope your socks have dried by now!!!

Great googly-moogly... can it really ALMOST all be done?
I think I've got just about the entire collection converted over, give or take one or two dozen CDs that will require special attention (ie indie bands - most often friends of mine - who don't have their vitals in CDDB, or albums with 27 minutes of empty space at the end of them... seriously -...

thanks. I too have had a few years of dealing with parental health, but this one, while totally a necessary and good procedure is, by it's nature, a major major one. again, thanks, that's really cool of you.
gigi:
I'm so jealous! I had to be cheap and buy a 128mb mp3 player - but at least it's encouraging me to exercise! (I have to bribe myself to exercise - how sad,) So what are your favorite songs/artists to listen to lately?
