lame. lame lame lame.

Bronchitis. Just when I started the contract job.

Lame.

my brain is trying to escape my skull

In the grips of a nasty headache that has me laid out flat, ice pack on neck, cool cloth on forehead. Really need to eat, but not much in the mood.

It's times like this that I really wish cats could return the 'feeding and caretaking' favor...though they would probably bring me mice or spiders or small gooshy bits of unidentifiable meatlike brown chunks.

So maybe I'm better off... :^)

well *that* wakes you up in a hurry

There are some sounds that will penetrate a deep sleep and bring you awake almost immediately: the phone ringing, a child crying, a knock at the door...

...and the "huhgurk, huhgurk, huhgurk, guhblerp!" of a cat horking on your bed at four in the morning.

<sigh>

whew...

Busy weekend, but a good one. And today I'm off to see a man about a contract job...wish me luck.

tainted love, whoa-oh-oh-oh, tainted love

Saw 'Tainted Love' at the Little Fox with Susy and Lucinda tonight [okay, 'last night' technically, since it's 1am]. Dinner at Pizza 'n' Pipes [though since there are no pipes, it's just "Pizza 'n'"], then over to the venue. Excellent crowd tonight, all totally and shamelessly into the 80s vibe. A few of "those" people, the annoying ones that feel the need to swing dance in a packed crowd or who pogo and jump right onto your right big toe [ow...it's still throbbing a bit], but overall a lot of fun.

The band was awesome, as always. A few 'meh' songs [they really shouldn't attempt anything with a reggae beat, I have decided], and the keyboardist [different from the last time I saw them] wasn't so good...he was okay on some songs, but on others he was just distracting. But the vocalists were all dead on, with some serious pipes [not to be confused with Pizza 'n']. A good time was had by all...

Now to feed the poor patient kitty, pay some attention to the other one that has claimed my lap and has the entire front half of his body draped over my right arm [you should see the typos I'm having to correct...it's hard to type with half a cat on your arm], and then crawl into bed.

Thanks for an awesome night, Susy and Lucinda!!

more hitch hiking fun...

Watching the production notes for the BBC version of "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"...it's like Pop Up Videos, without the annoying <guh-bloop> sound. :^)

because i can...

Breakfast: leftovers

Lunch: leftovers

Dinner: Safeway slab o' carrot cake and a big glass of milk

Me: smiling

my gift to myself

A day of doing pretty much nothing. Puttered around, did some dishes, read [finished two more Heinlein books, one a collection of stories, the other "Puppet Masters", which I hadn't read in decades], kept watching "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", chatted with some friends, took a nap, got dressed around 4p, went out for a bit and ran some errands. Tonight is stretching out the day as much as I can...more reading, maybe pop in a movie [Neverwhere? Real Genius? Top Secret? Some Black Adder? Blazing Saddles? Decisions, decisions...].

<contented sigh>

my friends are awesome-sauce

Today rocked. Birthday greetings from my parents and sister [love you guys!], and a barrage of emails, text messages, phone calls, cards, IMs, thoughtful gifts [you really know me...so cool] and even being serenaded. A yummy lunch, indulgent sundae [extra chocolate on the bottom, thank you very much!], wandering and window shopping, equally yummy dinner [whoof, ate too much...and I still have leftovers, yay!], a long foofy bath [mmm, butterscotch toffee bubbles] with candles and a bit of wine, and then relaxing in the dark in a comfy shirt with tasty flavored cocoa whilst watching the original BBC version of "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". <contented sigh>

This has been one of the best birthdays ever...sending love, thanks, and hugs to my peeps. You rock.

yay!

Brent and Jade are engaged...finally!! [and welcome back, Scott... sympathies and a heavy sigh for what you've been going through...]

Please visit PVP to see the whole storyline...it's a true geek romance. :^)
