I'm "working" on something, actually,
but did not/do not want to be rude &
signed on while not immediately present...
so was about to sign off entirely
rather than offend.

Talk amongst yourselfs,
I'll be "over here" & trying not to
bud in line.

~smells air pensively, relaxes~

Anyways, I'll be just over there---

~gestures~

Has Blue been around here tonight? I had a chance to see her today but couldn't make it, and I'm kicking myself.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 9:07 pm

Ahh... my iron mongering went well. Working on a sculpture idea that popped up over the last few days and finally cemented itself in the old mind today. So plastic when it’s hot... so beautiful and fluid... so dangerous... so feminine.

Havent' seen Blue since I've been 'round.

How was you day?

(gently elbowing giggles...)

Still awake over there?

I haven't made jewelry in years but I used to cast a lot and there is something magical about hot or molten metal, it is nearly a spiritual experience.

snore.....snort, snorfle....I'm awake! sort of. {yawn}

I'm cutting myself off 'fore I fall offa this ball again.

Good night friends, thank you for the pleasant company!

Sleep tight, giggles...

it is nearly a spiritual experience

yes, its very magical, what the transformation from one state to another and back again. Hmmm... not unlike my first trip to BM. I am still made up of what I was made up of before... only I was heated, and refined a bit. Sent back out into the world amplified and charged with making it a little better.

analogies lie all around us.

My favorite is the welding slag melting threw inappropriate shoes and burning into your foot.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 9:30 pm

Ahh, love those burn scars.

Ok, friends...

Tisha2, pleased to make your acquaintance. There's one more dark porter here on the counter and it's yours if you wish...

Until next we meet, God speed and peace be upon your homes and all who enter.

well I need to try to move my sleep cycle back to something more human. I have a few days work on a friends house so I actually need to wake up at a decent time.

Good night,

Well, it's good to walk in to a nice cozy fire... Thanks, Bucket.... after this frozen weekend in Portland, it feels good.

Have to get ready for work.... I'll just put some Italian roast in the coffee maker, and here's some finely ground espresso for the espresso machine...

See y'all in a few... uh, y'all....

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 5:51 am

Hey! An espresso machine! When did that get here? I thought all we had was bar coffee, woohoo!

{taps finely ground espresso beans into the thingy, attaches it to the machine, and pulls a long draw; the little cup fills with hot pungent coffee. Next, a generous squirt of chocolate syrup into the cannister of cold milk, then a loud steamy racket; finally, hot frothy chocolate milk and espresso poured lovingly together into the favorite mug. Wipes and rinses everything.}

And a roaring fire to drink by. What could be finer?

Bucket, I'm getting warmer just looking at that...thank you.

Unadulterated hot chocolate for me this morning; I'm on my way to start a week-long temp assignment. (Money. Thank god.) I crashed and burned HARD when I finally got home last night (see my last couple of posts in the FUCK thread) - anyone wanna summarize the last twelve hours or so? 'cause while I saw those posts, I don't think I actually read them.... *eyes glaze over*
