What Would Joan Jett Do?

Friday, October 10, 2003

Yesterday I was driving along, minding my own business, tuned into Radio K as I sometimes do. Though I’ve been listening less often lately, as it’s power surge time (the station’s bi-annual pledge drive dealie). Not only do I not have any money to give, I just really want to listen to the tunes. [...]

Summer In October

Wednesday, October 8, 2003

I’ve had a yen to move to the Bay Area (i.e., vegan paradise) for some time now, but it’s been prohibitively expensive. Now there’s another reason to hold off on that plan. What are those crazy Californians thinking? And who will be their next governor, Jean-Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal? Though I think [...]

Agiter Avant Emploi

Monday, October 6, 2003

Had a weird, but mostly good, weekend. Many more items were crossed off the wedding reception countdown to do list. Including my practice hair do (a concept that amuses and confuses the husband to no end) on Saturday. And I’ll be damned if I didn’t look just like Medusa. Also had some makeup applied [...]

Bride Of The Damned

Saturday, October 4, 2003

As the date of our wedding reception draws near, nearly everything is coming together. A tent has been rented, flowers ordered, tuxedoes reserved, tableware acquired, tables will be borrowed, etc. But my biggest concern isn’t with the arrangements. I worry that the groom won’t be in any condition to attend. The past few weeks [...]

Tanpopo Noodle Shop

Friday, October 3, 2003

Thank the gods for the Regional Vegetarian Guide. Without it I wouldn’t have heard the news. I’d been mourning the demise of Tanpopo Noodle Shop, after driving down Selby recently to discover it had vanished, with the restaurant next door having mysteriously taken over both spaces. But it turns out Tanpopo has just moved [...]

Mortos Der Soulstealers

Thursday, October 2, 2003

Was spammed by an ebay seller yesterday. Many months ago I’d purchased some Invader Zim DVDs from him. Now, he claims, some lost episodes have been recovered and he’s got them for sale. The husband investigated the claim. Turns out it’s legit. Six episodes aired in Brazil or somewhere, but never in the U.S. [...]

The Department For The Final Disposition Of Irredeemable Persons

Thursday, October 2, 2003

I’m bummed that I missed last night’s screening of Afropunk, but the husband wasn’t in any shape to watch the little man alone. Besides, distractions abound at home. Just finished reading Matt Ruff’s Fool on the Hill yesterday and loved it. When I first picked up the borrowed book the author’s name seemed familiar, [...]

Once Again For The Very First Time

Wednesday, October 1, 2003

The husband certainly had a grueling evening. He headed out around 8:30pm…and returned home around 1am. He waited quite a while to be seen at urgent care. When it was finally his turn the staff freaked out and insisted he should have gone straight to the ER (I think the triage nurse he spoke [...]
