Holy crap long busy day.

Stanley Amanda and Ale arrived, took the gang out to Chili's for my birthday, tooled around Atkins farms, and then we all went to see W., which was very Oliver Stone-y, but I liked it. Afterward they came back to the house and hung out and talked politics and America with the members of the Amoeba that weren't preparing to sing at a late night Obama fundraiser, which is where we went next, as the Connotations were performing. Their set was pretty great tonight, and except for one song that was still a little rough, everyone sang well. I actually really liked the band that performed before them as well, called the Primate Fiasco. Psychedelic Dixieland... yeah. Who knew that "Black Hole Sun" would translate so well? Gonna have to keep an eye out for them, they were good.

and now it's damned late. I need to fall over.

I just ordered a T-shirt that says "WHEN GOD GIVES YOU LEMONS" on the front and "YOU FIND A NEW GOD" on the back. I am pleased and amused.

It's from this, if you somehow have missed it.

OMG win

To birkwelch, who apparently subsidized my paypal account when I wasn't looking on my birthday (and sundart's too!)

Proof I should probably check my paypal notices every so often, lol. Thank you! *hugs*

Writer's Block: Forbidden Reading

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I must say, the one place that my parents didn't censor me much was my reading material. They pretty much let me read anything I got my hands on, no matter what the content was. The one exception was the time my mom caught me reading her Jackie Collins novels and took Lucky away from me, but I knew where she kept them so it's not like I never got to finish them...

You gotta love days that feel like the longest ever and then all of a sudden they're done and you're all like wait, where did the day go, wha? That was today.

This morning we took Amastan and Ale to River Valley Market and Herrell's before sending them off on their merry way back to PA. I think if Amanda could have hitched the market to the car and taken it back to PA with her she would have. It was adorable watching her squee and have local foodgasms all over the place. I often forget that normal suburbia doesn't really have the whole good local food focus that this place has. Eeep. And Herrell's never fails to impress. :) I finally got the milkshake I'd been craving since being in the hospital, omg so good... though quite honestly, my digestion's been RATHER displeased with me since. Argh. :/ So so far, the only thing that I really do have a problem with is liquid dairy - milk, ice cream, probably the half and half I've been using in coffee too. So that moves definitely in the Andee probably shouldn't eat this category. Which, for the most part, I can live with.

Other than being tired and still being on lifting restriction, I feel fairly normal. And I can talk again, Ta ra ra boom de ay. My higher registers are still shot, but I sound like me and not Harvey Fierstein for the first time in weeks. Hoo-rah.

Rest of the day I mostly spent decompressing from the company... and indulged in a little retail therapy using the birkwelch money - Aeris has some new clothes coming. :) I did make some delicious dinner for myself and sydneycat, spent some time farting around SL, and mostly just being by myself and thinking over stuff. And kinda dreading actually going to work tomorrow, as there is still a fair sized mountain of work to contend with once I get there. But thats' hours away... and for right now, I'm gonna take one of them that scalding showers, toast my bed (mmm, electric blanket), and sleep all cozy.
