Pacific Northwest Revisted
I finally got all of my pix back from my vacation.
Go take a look at the whole album on my flickr.
And below are my two fave pix from the whole bunch:
JAMC - Sowing Seeds
Music makes the people come together
So tired this morning. Last night, Joelle and I went to see Rent courtesy of FM 94/9. We had great seats (in the Dress Circle) and the show was really good. I knew nothing about the musical at all, so watching it and figuring out that the plot wasn’t just fluff was a bit surprising. The guy that played Roger was *super* hot. (Damn it, I left my Playbill in the car or I would link the dude, apparently he’s in a band.)
The only bad thing about the night was the lame people that were sitting behind us. They kept talking and someone’s cell phone rang and were just generally annoying. Joelle shushed them and I kept turning around. It was all I could do to remain calm and not scream SHUT UP ALREADY. But that would have made things worse and then I would be the one being rude. Sigh. They didn’t come back after intermission, so that was good.
I mean, I get comp tix all the time, but I don’t use that as free license to do whatever I want at the event. Come on people, there are others that paid good money to be there, so have a little courtesy. Geez.

Everybody’s doing it
Seen at Joelle’s and Mikey’s and even Faith’s. (Give me a break, I was busy yesterday....)
The bolded ones are things I have done....

This weekend’s Tour du Bar
I really should try to blog on the weekend so I don’t have three days worth of stuff to write about on Mondays. But I hate to be on the computer on my free time, I spend enough time on it at work. Sigh.
I had a fun-filled weekend, starting with Rock the Walk at the Casbah on Friday. Good times. The bands were good, the people were great (Joelle, Ali, Mikey, Z, Rhiannon, Kipper), and my mom made lumpia as promised. But I cut out of there early since I was so tired from the previous night’s lack of sleep due to The Guy I Really Like.
Saturday was my company’s picnic, so I made an appearance there and then went shopping with my mom. Talked to Jeremy a bit while he was at work. He made me laugh because he played L7’s “Pretend We’re Dead” for me and then when he talked about me on air, he said I was out starting my Tour Du Bar. That’s very clever. So I hit the Gathering first and after Emily was done with work, the gang headed over to Lamp. Apparently, I was a little lubricated because I don’t remember squat from that night. But I guess Boytoy and Emily were worse off. All I know is that I gave Fake Canadian Matt my phone number. Eeek.

Half way there
It’s Friday, which means Weight Watchers meeting at lunch. And I didn’t have a great week. I ate (actually, drank) almost all my flex points and slacked off (for me) at going to the gym. But somehow, I managed to lose 3 pounds this week. Which brings me to my halfway goal - a grand total of 65.2 pounds lost. So I’m getting that tattoo on my right leg worked on. It’s going to have some clouds and plum blossoms added to it. I want it to look like the double happiness symbol is floating in the clouds amongst the lotus and plum blossoms. I go to this place in Kearny Mesa (of all places!) called Absolute Tattoo. My sister went to Nick first and loved his work. So I went and totally dug him and then got another tattoo from him with one of my friends for his birthday. Now I just need to figure out if I should get it done before Vegas or afterwards.....hmmm…
Oh, and I want to thank everyone for all the compliments - I don’t think a day goes by anymore when I don’t hear some sort of comment. And though I am horrible at taking compliments, I’m getting better at being gracious. I know that I am working really hard to accomplish this and it is nice to know that someone (anyone!) is recognizing it.
So now I am going to see if my mom will make us some lumpia for tonight. I’m so down for some celebratory lumpia.

Whitters (she gives me lots of blog fodder!) made her own ALICE. What a good way to waste time at work. Check out part of our convo:
Human: i dont have to be polite
SexySadie: It must be nice.
Human: actually it is
SexySadie: Actually you don’t say. Is it?
Human: it is nice not to have to be polite
SexySadie: It seems nice to me too.
Human: except you are taking it in the ass
SexySadie: If not me, who?
Human: if not you, who, indeed
SexySadie: I’m not too good with negative counterfactuals
Human: you’re not good at much
SexySadie: No one is perfect. But I am trying to improve
Human: how can a machine improve itself?
SexySadie: A lot of hard work.
Human: you said hard, ha ha
SexySadie: Oops I sent you the wrong reply.
Human: no that was a good reply
SexySadie: Awesome. A good reply is a terrible thing to waste
