hey, robin hobb, thanks!

.
goddamm it's gotten serious in here lately...

so, without further ado, but a little shoutout to natalia;

snapshots of an idle mind presents:

things that have me snoopydancying right now.

. this ice cream i'm eating right now. it's from baskin-robbins and it's not my usual peanut butter chocolatey crack it is in fact an experiment. and it's pretty good. it's churros ice cream on top of bavarian chocolate mint.

:)

. my cats, they're just so awesome.

. that march through august i have at least one musical act per month scheduled in my life.

. because i'm an ass i'm about to list them all.
march 24 - buddy guy and betty levesque
april 10 - yeah yeah yeahs
may 15 - xavier rudd :) :)
june 8th - MINISTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
july 28-30 - HILLSIDE motherfuckers!
august 18-20 - summerfolk

hmmm i should link those... well that aren't sold out. it's so weird to me that ministry hasn't sold out. i just cannot wrap my brain around that.

buddy guy kicked some serious ass. freaking seventy year old horndog rocking up the massey hall. at one point he basically said 'hey do you want to sleep with me tonight' and like forty women shoulted "yes!" and i meant to be one of them but they all beat me to it.

damm *fans face* when you got it. you got it.

. holy mouthgasm this odd combination is awesome.

. the sport of bowling has reentered my life.

. except for a minor mishap with my feet at one point where i got so twisted up i fell and then climbed back up from lower? flashed a 5.10- at the gym yesterday. this is particularly interesting if you get that i was sick for a while and was feeling all weak and tired and so i've regained something.

even better? no beta or nothing.

i'm still getting tired faster than i'd like but i'm slowing down more and more so whatev. it's all good and stuff. i don't think that i'll take my lead climbing course as soon as i meant to but hey, i'm climbing again.

and i'm getting shoes soon, the ones i'm using are good but the rubber is just not taking the shape of my feet, and my feet are getting used to them but in a callussey unhappy way. so getting some new shoes is good.

. speaking of new shoes? i got these hot mules at an aldo liquidation outlet store closing sale (TWENTY FIVE BUCKS!!!!) and i walked them over to hubris' house today to test drive them and they're okay. it's a twenty minute walk (in heels) and after an initial wobble or two while i got used to the heel it was a nice swingy saunter over there. i'm not sure i'll take them out of the village anytime soon though.

and they're hot i think.

and over three inches tall

*evil grin*

. pause to lick baskin robbins cup and inhale.

. it's so cute how excited cats get when you feed them. and impressive how easy it is to put them on a once a day schedule. i think they actually prefer it.

. my car is all better. no more coughing or hiccupping and it wasn't a fuel pump it was plug wires. we won't mention the not getting the chirpy clutch dealt with yet.

what i'm busy?

. i'm enjoying a fantasy novel.

yeah you don't get what i'm saying at all is the thing. the last ten fantasy novels i picked up left me pretty bored. i mean so bored that i was like predicting dialogue and minor plot points. so i was getting to thinking that i'd read them all. and then i started this book, assasin's apprentice, out of guilt.

yes guilt.

i borrowed eight of the nine books in this series from rachael a while back (she's missing one but has it in ebook form) and soon i'll have to give them up and pretend that i've read them... which won't work since she's a bibliophile too.

so i picked it up.

grudgingly.

and it's EXCELLENT.

and i just don't think that i can explain anywhere near how tired of science fiction and fantasy novels i was getting. i mean i felt like i had read every single solitary story there was. every one. and here i am riveted by this book, in fact i'm not going to read blogs after i post this. no, i'm going to read a book.

if you saw my bedroom walls and how they're lined with books you would understand that it's miraculous to me to love this particular type again. ahhh. so happy. thanks rachael.

i've kindled love for several other kinds of books over the course of my breakup with the magic/science books and i'm glad to have had this break. it's been good for me... but ahhh... so nice to be home.

. saw the goddess today. back is speaking to me again. god it was mad. she's starting to wonder what the hell is going on since i keep falling out of alignment.

got homework i haven't had in four years. went and let some stabilizer back muscles get weak. so funny since i'm a TEACHER and i teach those exercises constantly.

ah well, learned it better too.

. my hot client is married. i forget if i told you guys this or not ... anyway i'm SO HAPPY cause now i'm o.v.e.r. him just like that. amazing what 'i'm in love with someone who isn't you and have a kid with her' will do. shush it wasn't like that. he started talking about his son.

oh it was SO CUTE. he gets all bashful when he talks about his kid. damm some kids get the good dads don't they?

i don't like being hot for clients, i'm hoping this is a learning experience not to be repeated. it's so weird to be happy that a beautiful man is married. actually i have a few like that i work with and they make me so happy. it's like 'oh look there are terrific men in the world' ... it's nice to be reminded of that on occasion.

. i'm going to bed with a good book.

RIGHT NOW!
