Barely back from the NME and checking twitter links from the weekend. (Can’t do linkage on my phone) Came across this announcement:

I’m tired as hell so I’ll post my NME comments tomorrow.

Oh ick ick ick

Aug 4th

I just noticed someone I know is getting involved in the Farpoint Media podcasters bunch. I think he’s just a listener, but he’s coming to D*C and a dinner I was supposed to attend. I can’t. I CAN’T sit at the same table with this icky person and be able to eat. Shit.

Little dude literally makes my skin crawl.

Sran.

AAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAAAgghh

Then again, he always says he’s coming and then backs out. Maybe I’ll get lucky and this will be another one of those times. Yes, I’m a bitch.

And cavaticat, I know tosus through podcasting too. It will be interesting to put a face to that name.

My worlds are colliding!

I've been thinking

Jul 29th

About an outfit (can’t think of it as a costume) for the Pimps and Ho’s party. Last year I missed the point until it was too late to come up with anything. I think I have enough stuff around here (after seeing that cabaret show) to put something together. I have a couple of corsets to choose from, and fishnet stockings. I’d need an appropriate bottom half and shoes. And red lipstick. I don’t wear lipstick but I’m sure I can find some. The shoes are what’s gonna kill me. Anything fuck-me enough I won’t be able to walk far in. How tacky would it be to wear sensible shoes while strutting between hotels? snowcalla or wickedgroovy, do either of you happen to have a feather boa laying around doing nothing?

Speaking of my dear roommates, you know y’all are invited back to the party? Your Spartanette costumes went over so well last time!

Come Saturday Morning

Jul 26th

Of course, up at 5. For no reason. This is going to be a really long day.

First stop, gas.
Second stop, breakfast.
Third stop, groceries.

At some point today I have GOT to get my car washed. I’m embarrassed by it. Earlier this week I agreed to meet up with friends and go to the swap meet today. She’s on a mission for a specific item, I just want to hang out with them. And I can’t remember if I’m supposed to meet them at 10 or 11.

I have GOT to color my hair today. Yet another thing I’m embarrassed about. My roots are glowing! There’s a birthday thing for a new friend at The Yucca Tap tonight. Maybe I can hang out with Ladawn this afternoon and talk her into coloring my hair. I hate doing it myself. I always miss some obnoxious spot. She’s going tonight too. I hate that just about everyone I currently hang with is in Tempe/Chandler and I’m way out here across Mesa. With the price of gas, I hate driving back and forth.

Though I miss doing Wingin’ It 3D, I certainly don’t miss that drive every weekend.

Only 33 days left til Dragon*Con! Only 19 days left til NME! Okay, I’m still not positive about the NME thing. I want, I want, but my options at the moment are to ride up with my son and his bunch, ride up with a friend – who always seems uncomfortable around me so I dunno if he’s shy or if he’s just being “nice” – either way that might be a really uncomfortable trip, or I shell out the dough and fly. I don’t have a room yet either. Can’t decide anything until Paycheck Friday, then see how the rates have gone up since last time I checked. I WILL NOT let NME financially interfere with D*C. Priorities!

Yeah, that was weird about the timing. I mentioned to Casey about going to Vegas that weekend and he wanted to go. Not to the event, just ride up and back together. That evolved into his whole gang going for the same weekend . . . one big no-kids partying weekend! Culminating with a trip up the Stratosphere on Sunday to surreptitiously dump Ed’s ashes from the top. Dunno if that’s legal. I doubt it. But Ed loved Vegas and that’s what he always said he wanted. Okay, he was always intoxicated when he’d say that but what the hell.

Hey, it’s finally late enough for stuff to be open! Off I go . . .

I downloaded a couple of ring tones from J.C. Hutchins’ 7th Son site a few weeks ago and totally forgot I’d actually assigned one to “reminders” on my new phone.

Dribbles and drabbles.

Well, it’s official. They’re lowering my monthly allotment because I was honest and filled out the proper paperwork about the divorce. $149 less. Apparently that’s all he was worth to me. Sounds about right.

I got my Dragon*Con postcard in the mail today. Yay!

I have another new tire for my POS car. Next month I’ll get the fourth for a complete set. And then something else will take a shit. Actually, there’s some whooshy whooshy sound coming up from underneath now that sounds like I need grease somewhere. Fucker.

This new phone is great except for one thing. Every twenty minutes or so it makes this beeping noise. Even when it’s plugged in so I don’t think it’s a low battery indicator. No warning pop-up to identify what it is. Dunno why. And the ~~tards~~ salespeople at three different Alltel stores are clueless. I’m supposed to contact Motorola directly. I can imagine how well that’ll turn out.

Ginnie and I picked out various colors from the Home Depot oops paint shelf. Two gallon cans for $5 each and I got three little cans for $1 each to paint my bathroom. We’s gonna have some fun.

There was a preview of a movie that looked interesting before Shanghai Kiss (from Netflix) and I jotted down what I thought was the title onto a pad of paper. It had one of those sequences where they put descriptive words on the screen and then more preview and more words and you’re left to assume the final words are the actual title. Guess not. Premise: Something happens on a country road and people are stuck there until it’s cleared and there’s conversation and family and growth and confrontation and I can’t for the life of me remember three days later the names of any of the familiar actors that are in it so I can’t look it up. “Fifteen Travelers” doesn’t come up anywhere on the ‘net.

Also watched “Marie Antoinette” and Kirsten Dunst sucks as an actress. She’s always the same, and she has no inflection in her voice. She must have attended the Kevin Costner School of Wooden Acting. Probably an honor student.
