Hello all! Today has been one of the nicer days off in memory... It's been spent doing nothing but bumming around town, drinking and having spontaneous barbeques. 
I met up w/ AmazonRed13 earlier for coffee at Willoughby's. Rather than sit on their rather shaded outdoor seating, we moseyed to the yard of Cass from Studio Zee. We drank Mandelhing, caught up w/ one another and...

no fluxoors for me tonight. going to see CLUTCH!!! whoo hoo! hope you have fun though, give my love to the mrs.
smuffy:
Come ask me questions when you are not too busy for me.
My sources of busybodyness of the past 48 hours:
-Aiding my mother move furniture and overwhelming amounts of housework... My emphysema-ailing grandmother is moving in w/ my parents today. It's a move that everyone but my grandmother herself was expecting. She's landed herself in the hospital 3-4 x's within 6-8 months by undermedicating herself. Now she'll be in a separate section of their house w/...

Were you taking pictures of your clothes? For, like, insurance purposes or something? I have a little army shoulder bag I keep my camera in, so it has a safe place to be when it leaves the house. Otherwise, it would be long gone.
Sounds like a fun evening...I love those situations that take on an unexpected life of their own, and guide you along unexpected paths. they're usually the most memorable of times, and the most relaxed.

W,
Thanks for commiserating about my shoulder. Sorry to hear you didn't have fun at last week's Flux; I'm angling toward going this week because I'm pretty certain I can't go next week. But as always, it'll be a game-time decision.
This weekend was great, wasn't it? Those evening stroll/bar crawls are the best; NH is good for that, Milford's good for that, SoNo is good for that, Stamford (occasionally) is good for that. Glad you had a good time.
Good luck with your grandmother (granted, you're not living there, but I'm sure you'll be called on to help out).

Happy Friday! Today has been wonderful so far... The weather has hit it's peak for the season or, at least this far in. Incredibly sunny and in the low to mid 60's. I don't have to report back to work until Sunday at 9am & I'm ready to relax aggressively as possible.
Tomorrow night I've booked plans to hang out w/ my good friend Lisa......

W, how did you like Mystic River? I've been absolutely awful about seeing movies in theaters the past 2 years (I did venture out and see Reloaded and Revolutions, and Old School, however). I just never got off my ass to go see it, though I wanted to. Missed KB v.1 in theaters, too, but I just picked up the DVD.
Sorry to hear Elbereth's under-the-weather. Damn, that meal you're cooking up sounds good!

Mystic River is rather wonderful. Great directing and acting. Mr. Robbins deserved that Oscar.
Yeah, the studio is rather silly. Everything I record on it sounds like it's about to collapse at any minute...the sheer joys of using a lot of older analogue equipment.
And the dogs live up to their names...ones a complete showman, and the other is an unlimited supply of free energy.
Enjoy your weekend, and do what it takes to get Elbereth feeling all bright eyed and bushy tailed again!

Again another case of being unsure if I'd ever posted this poem before... One of these days I'll figure out a clever way to track that. 
Hope your Hump Day is tolerable.

where at 5 oclock the workers
stretch out of their jobs,
faces lengthened,
swollen,
arms hanging like rain clouds
dangling lightning like callous fingers...

stari secret: pictures are there for those who care. I just haven't announced them yet. They are far more colorful than my last low tide pics. I heart the ocean! (love you too! smoosh! )

oh my goodness me - you did not bring me down at ALL. in fact, you just gave me a fit of giggles! now i have these two mental images so that every time i get droopy i can think on such things. i believe this one fall under the 400 lb. chest sitter category. it makes me think of henrietta hippo from the new zoo review - sitting on my chest, threatening me with an extended social call.
in fact, i think its quite literally that, considering the quarts of sonic phlegm (sex-ay) i awoke spewing like old faithful, it must actually be the malaise that comes with sickness. you know how not having a cold makes you happy? i think this would qualify as NOT happy. although, ironically, now that i know its sickness, i feel much better.
i like it very much when you extend thoughts - its always enlightening and entertaining. seriously - i learn from you.

This is the hardest it's rained in what short-term memory I have left... 
Intersections are flooding, there's the persistent white noise of water sheeting into the window screens, splashing of cars and drenched pedestrian victims left at the gutter. My body hadn't acclimated to this being a Springtime event... It expects to still bundle up in the upcoming weeks. Gladly, it's not so. I'll be...

grrr, my cell phone might die soon so let me know whats up with a post. ill be outta here earlier than i thought. 4:30 or 5.
The group home's Easter Sunday has been sucessfully put to bed... I had some major concerns that today was going to end w/ either residents or staff ending up bloodied and limping severely. Of the four residents there, two have been under close supervision due to particularly random occurences of extreme violence.
Since those guys have such heavy communication impariments, sometimes the only way they...

sounds like you had rewarding holiday, while safely dodging a left-of-center family function. and you got to feed geese. gotta love those wacky get togethers, though. they can make any holiday a...special one. i successfully hid from the whole easter thing, and am happy to report that i escaped unscathed. now it's on to late tax filing for me, where a painless escape may not be so forthcoming...
joshof13thfloor:
Damn, and i thought my Easter was an active one. I would have given good, hard, cold cash to dodge the bullet that was my families get together. Thank goodness the only time i have to put up with them is at select holidays and funerals.
It is extremely admirable in my opinion that you can successfully work with those who have special needs. My proverbial hat is off to you for showing compassion to those who so sorely need it. Too many are the times when people who are put in your place abuse those that they are there to help.
Peace.

Wow! 
An ice cream truck just drove by my apartment. An excellent sign of things on the horizon...like a lower heating bill.
So I'm spending tonight at home... Plan on washing some dishes, straightening a couple random things and setting my sick self down to veg watching movies, sniffling and finishing the CD reorganization (only 150 left to re-shuffle). AmazonRed13 was kind enough to loan...

I'll be hiding from ham. And working on some music. Maybe some bunny biting. It will be a good day.
And the G5? Yeah I do need it, and who can resist brushed stainless steel? I can't.
Happy (B)easter!

Well friends, photos were added...turnout was low, which provided less stuff to take pictures of so, fewer pictures than I'd care for. Maybe we'll pull out all the stops in May sweeps week. 
Well, no matter what, I know where my F'ing camera is!
In other news, I still feel pretty crappy. Crappy like calling-the-doctor-tomorrow kinda crappy... I may be able to squeek in a...

So, how are you tonight gang? AlienPrincess & I spent the evening w/ coffeeshop worker, Flux go-er and girl about town, Jess. We drank coffee, went to go see HellBoy, drank coffee, looked at books, etc. Got to wondering if we should start a role call for tomorrow night? It hasn't really been discussed for I haven't talked-talked to most of you since over the...

as you can see i didnt make it. much needed rest. did ya have fun? pics?
AlienPrincess and I just got back from seeing Bubba Ho-Tep. I'd read up on it a number of months past. It'd seemed like something that would be worthy of catching but, it was in very, very limited release. Oddly enough, it ended up playing at the CINE 1 2 3 4, which is the second-run theater five minutes away from where I live.
