Hiya! I'd looove some of the Aussie shiraz! Thanks muchly.

I might be crying this weekend, over lost snow. Boo hoo. Snow level is riding. Oh well.

We're having our work holiday party Sat. night. Taking the crew out for a nice dinner, and we're going to have a grass fed organic T-bone steak taste-off. Then we're going bowling. Same as last year. I love bowling.

well, my best pal is back in town after a few weeks so I am sure much booze will be swilled. Might go chase the ball tonight with the Pols but not sure, still a bit sick. Got my gig tonight. Some planning and prep needs to be done for NYE party as well.

What? No, Velvet, the snow level is rising. I'm the one who wants go riding.

What's your gig tonight stuart? Sure do want to come down there for NYE. The other day Ronnie actually brought it up. Very odd, for him. Instead I think we're trying to talk some friends with a hot tub into having a hot tub/hot drinks/cross country skiing/eating drunken party.

GE, refresh me on your show? Cellist? Very nice sound.

I seem to have put together something of a trailer park slut santa's helper outfit...

I think I'll join the general revelry on a limited (non-drunken) basis for at least a couple of hours in the afternoon.

The, um, interesting bit is gonna be showing up to the theater in this get-up.
It's all about the squirrels.

As to these dates, well, my days on are your days off, the nature of this job. Very few of us get traditional weekends off, just the Pinche' HQ people. So actually I can't change mine. I know it sucks but thats all I can do. I guess we'll just have to bag it if no one can do it on those days. Sorry. I am still going to look at a couple of places that would be good though. I already have approved vacation for BM '05 and don't have that many V days left to play with. Plan B, Plan Z, any ideas?

I'm doing a rock show here in Seattle; I'm singing...

Our first act will be the songs from Hedwig and the Angry Inch (with perhaps abridged dramatic action between) and our second set will be Ziggy Stardust...

Glam rock away!! Woo hoo!

Sorry Rian, I do make the schedule but I have to schedule Rangers when Rangers are needed and the days off were assigned by someone who sits right next to god, really. Sorry, I fucked up. Any way I can make it up?

Glam rock, yeah! Now I'm remembering your show.

I got a hair cut, so now I have bangs, wavy hair just past shoulders and bangs. And I had a ton of very sparkly purple eyeshadow on all around my eyes and cheeks and gold and white too and black of course and shiny sparkly lips. I hardly ever wear makeup. I felt so 80's, so glam, it rocked.

'Course in the actual 80's I never was like that, I was goth girl all the way.

The secret glam vice of parakeets is Gary Glitter.



Parakeets are odd.

Been there, hated that. I once spent an entire year where the only time off I got was when I was driving between meetings... seriously.

requests?
no,

although a few weeks ago there was this cute british girl. She came up to the booth and started asking if I had this record or that record. She must have been dumb as a post or shit canned drunk cuz the DJ was on the floor in front of her. I pointed to my compy and the video and explained that I was not in charge of the music. It was like fucking slow motion watching the realization creep over her face. Anyway, turns out it was her b-day, so I whipped up a little deal for her to throw out onto the screen.

Yeow! It has been a rough day, hasn't it?

Well, it's no consolation, but up until I received that job offer, my day sucked ass... furry ass... Want a cuddle tomorrow?

I'll tell you tomorrow, if I haven't already (I don't remember) who I think GD really is... but, then again, that's just my perspective.

BTW, I've broken the ankle shakles... I'm outta' here! Catch you guys in an hour or so... or tomorrow...
