the blog

Been too many days since I blogged, but that tends to happen when my time / life is chock full of things, plus when my hands are covered with paint I stay away from my purdy HP. It’s a thing.

First things first, I feel the need to jump on the band wagon! Though I have been a memeber of the Felicia Day fan club for quite some time (since Vi) she is twelve steps closer to taking over the world. Seriously. She is the Queen of the Internet. We must all bow and create altars. And we are in luck, because we can go down load the ‘Do you want to date my Avatar’video (I suggest grabbing it off Zune, if you are a Zune subscriber – and you should be!!!!) And Season Three of The Guild starts up next week, and I am flipping flapjacks I am so excited. Word! All the blogs I checked today (the ones I normally check each Monday but I was off yesterday!) were full of Felicia goodness. It was nice to see.

‘I’ve had a love that’s no good…’ Oh dear sweet Bee! (currently rocking out to Tour EP that I got last Thursday) Headed over to the High Dive last Friday for the Happy Hour Show. Me and Bee Simonds’ shows go hand in hand, we are all aware of this. And there was a really good crowd for that time of night. (read here early) It was a pretty good show, there were a couple of instances where I scratched my head wondering a few random thoughts. More so I missed see what many of us call the Bee stomp. because it was a ‘laid back’ show she was sitting, so there was no chance for the stomp. I adore the stomp. Good show though, and I am more than thrilled to have her mini CD release, as well as the little release from Canadian Radio, the Cover Band which she is a part of currently. I am thinking there needs to be a road trip soon.

Project Paint the Condo is 95% complete. I WANT it to be 100%, but Mare still wants to do the base boards as well as the doors. So, a little more left. While I do agree, that I need to finish the closet doors in my bedroom, I am THRILLED that we are at least done with the ceilings and such. I am still sore. And I had Monday as my ‘get back to being human’ day. Just goes to show, that apparently when you are out of shape, working your ass off pulls muscles you didn’t even know you had! Huh, How about that?? I will say, with no small amount of pride that the place is looking awesome! We did a damn good job and I love the color. Which is ‘TeaTime’ (Behr, paint and primer) check it out. It’s nummy.

Sunday night TV! OMG. I was crying like a baby bear watching TrueBlood; what gives with that? Maybe I was just super emotional. It’s been known to happen. Trust me on that. And then Mad Men, which… okay for those of you out there who don’t get the show? Don’t watch it, don’t blog about it, just accept that you don’t get it. Let those of us who do get it, enjoy it, think on it, and appreciate it. I get the show. I enjoy the internal conflicts of the time period and the methodology of human spirit trapped behind the perfect creased guise. I get it. And Season Three is going to be awesome! (especially if we get more Joan!!!)

And as I took a four day weekend, I sort of need to get back to work now. I love (not) being behind.

This blog has been oh so serious lately. So with that in mind, let’s mix it up – Girl Style!

Literary Girls! I have this book sitting on my shelf, because I opted to read the ‘Zombie Survival Guide’ and ‘World War Z’ first. With those two down, I shall continue my zombie summer of ‘09 with the Jane Austen trip down the life fantastic. There are some out there who don’t get the thrill of Zombies. I am not one of those people. I adore my zombies. In games and in books. (movies some times, I am a weenie) So once I finish the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I am planning on having a day of Resident Evil Game play. Woot!

Movie Girls! I saw ‘Julie & Julia’ last weekend. And it was cute, and a good foodie movie. Not the best film I’ve seen, but it was still good. (liked Sunshine Cleaning better – for an Amy Adams theme) I also was bored on Sunday and watched ‘Sex & The City’ movie… and I should say that I never watched the show, but the movie filled me in. And it is certainly straight lady comedy. I got a lot of the humor, (mexi-coma) and the gratuitous man shots I just ignored. It’s sort of sad that Dyke movies are so LAME, so we are left with subtext, or just throwing our hands up and watching ‘main stream’ rom com. Which, has it’s place in the world. For sure.

TV Girls! Hellllooooo Police Women of Broward County. How you doin? Makes me lament not finishing cop school. But hey. Things happen for a reason. And I will check out this show, from time to time, when nothing else is on. Because two of the ladies are damn fine! You know I said it! I watched the season finale of ‘Better of Ted’ last night, and was it just me? When Veronica was talking about loving Mordor, and doing the show, I kept scanning the crowd, looking for Ellen. I think it was just me. Trying to bridge the gap between reality and unreality. Still a funny as heck show. You should check it out!

Music Girls! So I am digging ‘Gossip‘, and excited about going to Bumbershoot this year to check out the ‘Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs’. It should be a blast! In the interim I will be heading out to the High Dive tomorrow night to see Bee Simonds perform (6pm – 8pm) and if you are in the area so should you! It will be an awesome show I have been told. And come on, you know I will be at a Bee show, it’s a for gone conclusion.

Crafty Girls!  Will be me & Mare starting tomorrow. Project Complete Painting the Condo will commence and go on for 4 days. Yay! Yay for painting, Yay for getting it done, and Yay for a four day weekend!!!

Just a little humor – at least for me. Knowing all my hard work in the world is giving some folks something to do with their time. LOL. (for those just joining, my lovely company sells these things, serious. It’s the best job in the world. – hello, there is no sarcasim here!!)
Yeahhhh. But any way,
Happy 10 year Anniversary to me. To celebrate I am… working. Werd. Well, okay, I also stopped at 3:30. Oo, call me a rebel.

I am still sore from the weekend, and I find it an odd sort of commentary, because I painted. That’s it. I painted my bedroom, and for that I am sore. Either I am a high impact painter, or old and out of shape. You be the judge.

And in other news, go to this guys flickr account. His photographs are freaking AWESOME! I love the chipmunk / star wars series. LOVE.

Why is it, when it is a nice, quiet, peaceful Saturday morning, my sister’s cat decides that the sun is up and she wants her breakfast. Which then starts what I can only assume is her perfectly choreographed plan of meowing, then walking on my pillows, and sneezing in my face, followed up by her meowing again and then somehow getting my closet door open, climbing to the very top (how she does that I have no clue) and then freaking out about getting down. And thus, I am awake at 6:15 am on a Saturday. Even now, some 3 hours later the world outside is nice and tranquil. Me? I’m awake and getting into trouble on the Internet. Because, now that the cat is asleep, I am the only one up. Bah! Irony! (I smile about this though. Because, really, it is better to view the glass half full… until it’s empty and time to make more coffee.)

This webseries is funny as all get out, and oh so true for the state of dating in the lesbian world. No seriously. It is true. And the whole online dating thing is so over, and over rated, and so is illogical. (says the single girl) and while I met some kick ass people online – and yet it was weird as all heck, and it always ends badly. (thus far) Got to love those friends I made though. But I will be checking in and watching this show, for sure. Because it is funny, topical, relatable, and Simone is totally into Buffy. Hello! So keep an eye out for Seeking Simone.

Here’s the pilot episode for you. Because I am nice like that.

It’s still all quiet, so I think I will get ready for my visit with some of my favorite people this afternoon  – and then tonight I will prep the room for painting. Because as god(s) as my witness I will attempt to finish painting my bedroom tomorrow. Yay!

will wonders never cease? I did an image search today, and one of the results was a static image for this site. How bizarre! So I changed it. Done. (though the old one is still coming up… until I delete it from my server, which will wait until tomorrow)

Holy craptastic. This is short and sweet, because I am sore, full, and tired. (tired for me means I am getting a headache, so time to sit in the semi dark reading until the happy blue pills take me to sleepy land.

Tomorrow I will write about the weird ass dreams I have been having as of late… so interesting…staring someone I do not know, but think is really cool!

And why is it I can’t find ‘FARMTOWN’ on facebook??!?!?!?!? I am totally addicted to that damn thing, so where did it go??? I have crops that need harvesting, damnit!

Ugh. it must be a Monday!

Oh! This weekend! Painting ensued. For sure. And it was fun, and hard, but fun, but hard, but neat, but hard. I am sore, so all I can think of is that it was hard. Round two will take place possibly this coming Sunday, but maybe not until the weekend after. It is summer after all, which means lots of things and social events going on. Even for me! Who knew???!!!

One more song listen, and then bed for me.

((( ready to let you win )))
