Good evening. Biscuit.

Note to self - cellphone makes a far better alarm clock than the alarm clock. That and getting up in fear of waking the person you're sleeping with... especially when you know they haven't had a good night's sleep in a week and they actually seem to be sleeping.

I don't know why i even bother complaining about how I feel before belly dancing, cause I always leave feeling better, if not ready to wrestle bears or something. The beginner class is rawther big, and I think Joanne might shoo people that were in her last class into her advanced beginners class to make up for it. sydneycat seemed to have an awesome time as well, which made me happy - it's always fun to have someone to take classes with.

Joanne lent me a set of zils, which i get to hang onto for a little bit as there's no class over july fourth weekend. I'll probably play with then a bit, get used to how they work (completely different from what I was thinking, but it will be fun to learn) and in the meantime work on improvising stuff to Jonothan Richman's "Egyptian Reggae," since I've been obsessing over it since the MEAC show.

My evening was good too... the sort of low key anniversary sort of thing that I like a lot. Apparently the theme for tonight was COOKIES, as my anniversary present to morlock was a handful of Sugar Jones cookies (can you believe it? there's a COOKIE place in Amherst that DELIVERS. though not in the summer. Still!), and his to me was making a non-dairy version of his infamous chocolate chip cookie dough, a huge tub of which now sits in my freezer, so now I can bake up a bunch of cookies whenever I feel like it. *chuckle* it's funny, we're both the biggest nightowls evar (you can usually find us wasting time online until well past 2am but somehow when he's over here and also way back when at the Farmhouse we manage to wear each other out and fall asleep well before midnight. Which honestly is probably good for both of us as I know we don't tend to get enoug sleep ever. Prbably the reason why I'm actually awake early today instead of rolling over in bed and going "Aw, shit."

Plans for today all depend on how work goes. If it goes well, I may slip out a bit early, if not, bleh. If it eats my soul, I swear I'm going straight home, going to bed and hiding from the world until the next morning. well, okay, maybe I'll pirate a bit if that happens. But I dunno we'll see. I've got two bits of amorphous social activities on the table with question marks after them - one for early in the evening, one for late - we'll just see how Tuesday goes.

oh yeah, and tonight there's grossfairy shopping. I should make a list.I should also stop babbling and get dressed or something.

BWAH

I don't normally do slash fanfic, especially not in the HP fandom... but this is friggin' hilarious.

"Firstly, I know you both know how to cast Silencing Charms. USE THEM. I am not homophobic, as you once feared, Moony, however I am also not voyeuristic, as you once suggested, Pads. Well, not when it comes tothe both of you."

The whole thing is crackup funny. Thanks to _kyri for the link.

EDIT: quite possibly more hilarious response to above posted here. Bless the geeks who hath nothing better to do that entertain us...

I finally got around to reading Octavia Butler's last book and finished it today. It was good - she had a very interesting take on vampires, their relationship to humans, and how their society would work. Unfortunately it was plainly obvious that this book was meant to be the first part of a series, which just left me with a heavy, sad feeling when I finished it. I mean, all the plot points were wrapped up fairly well, but it was very clear that the story was supposed to continue after this. *sigh* ah well, if I ever get access to Dream's library, I know what I'll be looking for.
