Rough weekend.

Roommate gave me notice. Might have found a new place already though. We will see how that plays out.

At least it wasn't a hot weekend. We got some rain early Sunday morning.

Got an offer to go play with Danse Macabre whenever I want, I think I'll have to take them up on it, it sounds crazy fun.

Also got a new tipper for my bodhran. It's made of African black-wood, and is balanced to perfection. Sev is a genius. I commissioned it last weekend, and got to pick it up Saturday morning. Barely touched the other tippers since - except for German Clock-winder. I hate that gig so much. It is a special kind of lame, and it shreds my tippers. I used the rosewood one for it, and it is in terrible shape now.

Silverfish

Earlier this evening I heard Roommate attempting to convince Kitten to tell her what she was up to. This usually means Kitten is up to some kind of mischief, so I got up and headed to the other room to run interference. As I got to the other room, Roommate started shouting for me to get over there and "bring a shoe or something.

I was still wearing shoes, so I just took one off, and continued towards her room.

There was a silverfish on the wall.

Kitten was staring at it intently, trying to figure out how to kill it.

Roommate was staring at it, and yelling at me to kill it.

Shoe met Silverfish - shoe won.

Kitten, however, did not believe the silverfish was dead - at least not dead enough for her liking. She continued to stare at the spot on the wall where the silverfish had been, and now a slight grey streak was, until I picked her up and held her where she could reach it.

She attacked the streak on the wall. Repeatedly.

I eventually took her with me when I left the room, and after a bit she forgot about the silverfish. Now Kitten is asleep on my feet.

...snoring.

Viva Roadkill Ranch!

Went to the Pre-Viva Las Vegas event at Roadkill Ranch with my room mate today. She did my makeup, and had me borrow one of her dresses because all I have are ultra-formal, victorian, or "little black dress" type dresses. Apparently none of the above would do - so I borrowed this...

While we were there I actually FOUND a DRESS that I will wear on occasion. Maybe. Probably. This one:

Yea, I know. My hair is all big and stuff. She did that, it's not really my thing. Neither is the red lipstick.

Love the little anchor on the dress though.

Usually when we go, I just kind of hang around and wait for her to finish her dress-shopping. Maybe I might buy a t-shirt or something, but generally not. I'm so not a clothes-shopping kind of person. But this dress was so nifty my room mate played copycat and got one too - she ended up with 3 dresses, I just got the one.

Funny Phone Convo

Roommate: OK Dad, you're on speakerphone
Roommate's dad: No I'm not!
Roommate: Um, yes. You are.
Roommate's dad: No I'm not!
Roommate: Dad, you are. I put you on speakerphone!
Roommate's dad: I am not! would you LISTEN to me for once?
Roommate: Dad. Yes, you ARE on speakerphone. I put you on because I'm driving...
Roommate's dad: (hangs up)

Saint Patricks Day 2.0.

Slept in.

Roommate and I went to Disneyland. Figure it's ten minutes away, so it's a good way to kill some time. Also, the Cafe Orleans has the best Monte Cristos ever.

This is only half. We split one, because neither of us can finish a whole one. Mindy can, but I guess she wasn't feeling motivated today.

We left around five to head down to Pechanga for the Sportive Tricks/Fenians show. It rocked. The Fenians dedicated "Dirty Old Town" to the town I grew up in. I had a good laugh at that.

Also, I win at beads:

I know, the picture is crappy. Blackberry doesn't have a flash.


OOO, and I have a follower now, check that out! HELLO there :)
Hope you had a great St. Paddy's Day!
