    apparently the business partners who owned silver cloud split, so the restaurant is closed (though it doesn't say anything about it on their website).

    so instead, we're going to The Smoke Daddy (we both love bbq).

    Putting brand new heads on the drum set, tuning them up and breaking them in nice and proper for an hour or two.

    for a drummer, that's like opening the jar of peanut butter and having the very first scoop out of it every single time.

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..... my conservative cousin has angrily unfriended me on Facebook because I said that banning stem cell research was "insane."

    I never thought being unfriended on Facebook could feel so good.

    I'm happy that I haven't had to unfollow anyone over "Gamergate." Some might say I'm living in an internet echo chamber, but I prefer to believe I have excellent taste in people.

    (I'll refrain from the Gamergate thread here so none of you can burst my bubble.)

    Heh...I've been on the opposite side of that. I had a third cousin (seriously, pretty sure it was third) who was bitching about the girl scouts letting in transgender girls and I was like, you know, I barely know you and if you have a problem with trans* people, I don't need you in my life. It felt kind of good. Heh. Not that it was a huge deal or anything but it was kind of a nice little thing.

    OH MY GOD.

    One of my two BFFs just called and said she bought her plane ticket to come visit from November 15th - November 20th. I am shitting my pants. She has kept saying she's going to come visit. But now that she has actually purchased the tickets, that changes everything! omg. Two weeks away.

    Now I just have to like... plan stuff for us to do. Haha. I don't really get out too much.

    I deleted my Facebook account entirely, as well as my Twitter account, and it made me feel fantastic. I now only use Instagram to follow cooking and travel and garden and "happy" zen things. Soooooo good.

    edit: For instance, Instagrams of this little boy Beau and his dog Theo taking their daily nap together cheers me up every day

    Today's my birthday and I celebrated by blowing the money I was saving up for today. Better spent on expensive boxsets and such than takeout. I'm genuinely proud of myself for turning that particular corner.

    happy birthday! i'm assuming you listed what you got over in the vinyl collector's thread? (if not, tell us here!)

    Not a vinyl guy funnily enough. So far just the King Crimson set, but I also got some blank CD's, new cheap headphones and an ethernet wire to get my Blu-ray player online.

    i don't have to be at the theater for opening night of the play tomorrow (though i do have to go there during the day to work on a few things), so i finally get to see my wife for the first time since late sunday night (when we got in a fight). we are going to eat pizza, drink sangria, and either watch Clue, Dark & Stormy Night, or Paranorman.

    that sounds adorable. i'm assuming you'll have a trent-centric playlist going to creep out your visitors?

    My boyfriend's cat. She must be 12 years old , barely 6 pounds, all black and completely skiddish. She doesn't like to be picked up and won't sit on your lap. A couple of nights ago, I was asleep and she came up and lay on me. Not next to me, not at my feet (which is something she will do), but right on my lap.
