In which it’s Day Two, and much of Day Three. Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week! Slept in. Hung out with Deboka and talked and had tea. She went to write a paper, I got online to upload images and read and write. (Not as much wi-fi as I’m used to around […]
In which there’s local news. “Red Monkey downtown lounge opening Saturday. Ten TVs, a disco ball, VIP lounge, food, drinks and great vibe. 25 W. Alder.” (3:52:19 PM) DslVelcro: hmm (3:52:56 PM) mushlette: Ten TVs and a disco ball. (3:53:00 PM) mushlette: WTF (3:53:06 PM) DslVelcro: wonder what that is like (3:53:20 PM) mushlette: it’s […]
In which my eagerly anticipated and long awaited NEW YORK TOUR 2009 is nigh. Luggage? Well, I didn’t buy a new case like I’d threatened to, but can use the carry on-sized rolly case at the house; it’ll be adequate and it’s smaller than the one I own. Hair color? Check, I have an appointment […]
In which I’m suffering today from the remnants of that most terrible and respected of hang-over symptoms. I put in a day’s worth of overtime on Saturday. Afterward, I really wasn’t interested in going to the party I’d been invited to, but I figured that I’d really kick myself later if I didn’t go. It […]
In which I indulge in a little pre-vacation bitching. Don’t even read this, my babies! Save yourselves! Run away! Feet I sit cross-legged in my office chair. This is because I am, by nature, a floor-sitter and I don’t really like chairs. Sometimes when I sit like this my feet go to sleep. Right now […]
In which I try to explain my travel needs. A few people have given me light-hearted shit about being able to ‘just take a week off and go to New York,’ like travel’s a non-essential behavior and I’m somehow lucky or greedy. Well, I’m not. Looked at from a certain angle, my life could easily […]
In which I’m going to go on and on about “women’s troubles,” so depending on who you are you may just want to stop reading right… about… HERE. This morning I felt noticeably better than I did yesterday. At first I attributed my calmness and clarity to my recent daily intake of Vata tea, but […]
In which I write about a topic that is probably only interesting to me. I really dig smoking. A lot. But I’ve done a great deal of it, and for the past year or so it’s been becoming less and less fun. I’m a judgmental bitch, so let me inform you here and now that […]
In which I bought treeware. For my birthday, I quit smoking. On my lunch hour, instead of smoking I went into the bookstore and bought myself The Eyre Affair, a book I’ve been meaning to read since it came out eight years ago. I mean, what the hell, right? It is my birthday, after all, […]
In which I’m a little worried about my instrument. I’m playing the Rally In The Valley – a biker rally, natch – tomorrow night. Outside. At night. It will most likely be both damp and chilly: not good conditions for a weak voice. Then I’m supposed to play a chichi benefit gig on Saturday afternoon […]
