Funny how life goes from shitty to good to shitty to double shitty to good to weird to shitty again.

Last night was a good time. Dinner with a totally eclectic group. My friend runs a book company in LA that has done some amazing books on African poster art, celebrity photos, etc. She got together a group of weirdos (me included) for dinner. Writers, editors, graphic designers, conractors, dog walkers, costume designrs and the like for a dinner of middle eastern food and drinks....

Hey I heard that new White Stripes album is really gonna ROCK! It'll change the face of music! They only have TWO people in the group! They only wear red white and black! They were maybe married...or maybe they're brother & sister! That chick drummer is really HOT! ROCK & FUCKIN' ROLL, DUDE!!!
Last night I went out with my best friend and 3 friends of ours from high school. All girls. It was fun too. I only know one of them well, had a crush on her but we did a lot of '80's talk. What with the new kids love of all things '80's (ok, I mean didja hav eto bring back The Blow Monkeys kids?)...

Check back tomorrow, I'm starting the sex toy pics/naming contest then.
Then, you can probably guess at some of the naughty things.

Big shows tonight......and Thurs.
So did you ever think you knew someone (albeit someone you just met) and you liked them and thought they were cool but something wasn't quite right and then BAM! One day you are like, "Enough"? That happened this weekend actually.
Not to give away the whole kit and caboodle but it just isn't working. I am ok with it too....

What shows? I'm sad because the godspeed shows (2 in toronto and 1 in hamilton) are all sold out... but i'm still going to go and see if there's a tickey or two at the door... sometimes if it's just me i can sneak in that way 
...
Catpower is playing here soon, and Adult, should be a very fun spring. I need to start going out again. I've been living in a bubble since my husband and I split up. Well, actually, I pretty much hot boxed my life for the last year before that, so it's been a while. I don't remember how to be social, but I'm pretty sure if I just go out somewhere it'll come back to me. That's what I'm hoping. Either that or I'll just look like an uncomfortable drunk girl wandering around the bar. Sheesh! I can't let that happen! MUST PRACTISE.
And that thing above, definitely happened to me. 'cept I was married.

sup???
OK....no more on the dad tip, no more on the flu tip. All good news as it means ALL IS WELL! 
Changes coming this week. This weekend was an eye opener in many ways. While it had nothing to do with SG or anyone on SG, things need changing and I am ready to do them. More later.
Big week otherwise.....2 big shows to go...

I have felt like that. It always happens at the end of a sinus infection. That one last globby hunk of infected mucus suddenly comes out and the world is a beautiful place.
OK..last rant/jag and I promise to be my fun loving (erm, sould sucking?) self!
Dad is fine. He sounds cipper even. He should be out of the hospital today. Sure there is a little guilt for being so sick I couldn't take, see or pick him up from the hospital but I know that would have been a bad idea.

Dude-- What's the latest on your dad? I'm guessing you're finally over your bug? My sister in L.A. is gonna have a C-section this week and it's a little risky since she's diabetic -- I'm sure it'll work out fine but I'm a little worried. Anyway this means sometime in the next 4 mos. I'll be heading down there; maybe I should get a YETI event happening somewheres??? So, you're getting some?! Tell me more!!!
Thanks for the nice words. Girls like me? Um, yeah I guess I've developed a strange mack over the last few years, some combination of pseudo-professorial/ been-there-done-that/ older guy thing with some actual sensitivity and lotsa confidence that comes from always dating women far more attractive than me! Now I've got my first serious online crush and the girl lives way the fuck away and is REALLY young (not illegally so but...) and it's weird. Anyway I have some dates coming up soon, asked some friends out and also a few from nerve. I batch-date -- get my confidence up, ask a buncha diff. people out at once, see what happens.
Still, this one girl was seriosuly tugging my heart strings tonight and it was just a freaking IM -- what's THAT about? The world is a very weird place, did you know that?

Update central:
The cold became a flu. Thank God for Tylenol, Codeine, Robitussen, asprin and tea with honey and lemon. I am still not going out again today but I felt much better after the 101.4 fever broke at 8am this morning. Still I am cold in a long sleeve shirt. Must wear a sweater. Hands cold too.
Dad goes in for a pacemaker tomorrow....

My unsolicited adivice on the above:
1) Cold pills...and a Martini.
2) Martini.
3) Give dad a hug, tell him you love him...then drink a Martini.
4) Two Martinis.
5) File an extension.
Oh, and do tell, who all did you see at SXSW? Blacklisted missed out on some of the big names. What about y'all (that's my Texas twang, in case you couldn't tell)?

Previously, I have been good. A little food, some physical excersize and lotsa water of late and I dropped a few pounds. Jeans fit better, and nothing pulls. I've been good. Until....
At SXSW so far I have had a double cheeseburger, chicken fried steak, meat tacos and fajitas tonight. And a SHIT load of beer. Feel like a sloth. But I suppose that is...

She called. We talked. We are getting together this evening. Liking that.
Many plans today.....brunch then buying a vacuum cleaner then meeting with a band about doing PR for them. Heard them on KCRW this weekend.
Then.....drinks with said SG. Over a pint and I am sure enough cigs on her part to rival living in Mexico City.
Had dinner with a friend last night...
