In which we visit chez DeSchepper-Flora, and eat. Saturday night a group of us descended upon Mr. J in his home, at the behest of his woman, to celebrate his birfday. She’d made nachos, soup, and appetizers, and there were cookies and pie and a variety of tasty beverages. Hilarity ensued. Actually, both Bread and […]
In which there’s a full moon, Friday the 13th, and Amazon Blonde’s birthday all on the same day. Friday night we went bowling for Amazon Blonde’s birthday. I bowled three games (scored 111, 113, and 112) and drank a lot of cocktails. Bread bowled one game. In each of my three games I bowled a […]
In which thin-crust pizza is the best. And knitting. Yesterday, Bread and I had lunch at Revelations. We had their house pizza – pesto, Greek olives, feta, and carmelized onions – and one of the pizzas on special, plus a salad. While we were waiting for the food, I scanned the fantasy/sci-fi section and found […]
In which you hear me sing a song that was written for me to solo on. For real. Remember my trip to New York last September? To sing on a friend’s acapella album? Well, I saw her over New Year’s and she gave me the tracks. She doesn’t like them and isn’t going to use […]
In which I’ll probably not look as young or thin as I once did. Tonight at House 11 rehearsal we’ll be setting the band room back up (now that the gear is all back from the gig), and then watching the video from New Year’s Eve. *groan* The band will now know about that one […]
In which I got wasted by accident and for no apparent reason whatsoever. So I left work at five last night and drove homeward. I turned at the Libertyville turn-off and stopped at the Dew Drop for one drink. Just one, because it sounded good. Okay, maybe two. Sure, I’ll have another, thanks! What the […]
It’s the link of the day: listen to your Uncle Pete, kids, he’s an icon. Pete Townshend Warns iPod Users to turn it down before they go deaf. And he’s not kidding, either. I personally managed to give myself mild tinnitus (which is permanent – as in forever, as in for the rest of my […]
In which I’m flattered, but mildly disturbed. So I just discovered that there is an image in my gallery – of one of my tattoos – that was hit over nine thousand times in November. (Nine thousand times!) There are even a variety of juvenile comments about how much my ink sucks. It never occurred […]
Strange but fun: a New Year’s gig with two extremely different bands. This entry is extremely long… YHBW. I went back to town with Bread. At the hotel, he split for the bar to order himself a burger and a beer, and I headed up to 265 to put on my face and change into […]
