Rolling my own cigarettes - much, much cheaper, and I smoke much, much less.
Making my own peanut and cashew butter - incredibly delicious.

Still plucked that I had to miss the Katya show. But as I hadn't been able to actually effin' WALK for four days, I had no choice. Steps were unimaginable; just couldn't believe the timing. But there's hopefully consolation coming with the budding Trixie and Katya tour! So far, they're doing AU and NZ - no US dates, yet.
Wishing also that I was at every. single. Cureshow, this summer..
In news of the positive, I'm kindasorta liking MeWe - - it's the no ads/no spyware alternative to EffBook. Was on there an hour and chatted with nice, mellow ppl with impeccable taste (meaning they actually knew/liked/could intelligently discuss THE CURE...GARY NUMAN...pg - with or without Genesis..AND KRAFTWERK, the true acid test for me)! And so far, no bullshit. Cool retro-futurism/sci-fi groups, as well...and you KNOW I love me some beepin' and boopin'.
Pose.
Saw the trailer for the upcoming, 'The Mandalorian' and am woefully intrigued. The detail looks amazing and I love Boba Fett, but but but Disney why why why..
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL OF US - for the whole world - If you're in the US, PLEASE VOTE. PLEASE. FOR *ANYTHING* BUT WHAT WE GOT.
It's been suggested to me to get my medical marijuana card. *boing* Something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. And fortunately, our state is one where you cannot be fired if you have it. So, I'm mo' def thinking about it.
Outraged and a bit obsessed with the Epstein scandal. Do NOT get me started, trust.

Jun. 15th, 2019 03:06 pmApparently, I'm NOT going by myself. My co-worker wants to go - and literally got the last ticket in the venue. She will be seated one row behind me, to my left. Can't wait!

Jan. 22nd, 2017 07:39 amAwwww, my dear, dear friend.
Miss Sue P, with the beautiful freckly face (I can see you solemnly and precisely pointing out each scar and how it happened) and lively hazel eyes and that smile - that smile! - that just lit the whole room - Where do I even @#$%^ begin?
SO much love.
So forward-thinking; just a beautiful, wise and enlightened soul - I'm so fortunate to have met you. So tough, you'd been through SO much, and yet, you were so fragile. Such a tender heart. And yet...h i l a r i o u s; I remember when you told that new orient that you'd just gotten out of prison and she believed you! L O L + infinity. You were never just a resident. You were my friend. Damn, Girl.
From the deep, deep south and 92 years old..you literally screamed and clutched your pearls when you found out my mother was possibly voting for..That Thing...And Pox 'News' gave you nightmares..I will miss you so very much; I'm just @#$%^ absolutely gutted - and yet, happy for you. I will miss our talks - about God or the lack thereof; of becoming stars - I remember your eyes, round with the wonder of a child, as I made, 'tinklyfingers' when we talked about molecules rising...sparkling. I was privileged to be witness to this, your epiphany, and it came at such a perfect time - always like that with you. In synch, and both of us with a touch of 'the gift', lol..I remember your nightmare about a plane crashing..two? three? days before my trip...dun dun dun..and your stories about growing up and picking berries; I can hear the cicadas buzzing.
When you spoke, I always heard a little of my grandmother in your sweet twangy accent, and you knew that ♥
I know you and Miss Reenie are dancin' it up with those men in the trees..

January: This is so weird to me; so unexpected.
February: Another hero sleeps. Godspeed, Edgar Mitchell.
March: OMG. I got a raise.
April: Ick. Shaky and fever-y.
May: I.
Got.
Tickets.

K R A F T W E R K.
June: So, I'm back.
July: Really, really finding it hard not to freak out, here.
August: Called off.
September: K R A F T W E R K.
Perfect night, perfect venue, perfect company.
October: Nothing? For an entire month? Jeez. Shame on me.
November: Wow.
If this becomes real, if it really becomes true - what I've wanted my whole life, since I was six years old - - I MUST go for it.
December: LOL - while I was away, it seems my paid account has expired. So - severe lack of pertinent icons, omg.
England was even more wonderful than I imagined. I know, now, as I've always known, that my heart is there, and now - it is The Quest.
What a year for me! Both dreams and nightmares, coming true. Not mentioned, above - my first tattoo. For Frankie, of course - and I *swear* I made a post about the passing of John Glenn, but it's not showing up. Last of the Mercury Boys, and the end of an era.
Better days, a'comin' - have to be! Love you all ♥

Nov. 27th, 2016 08:26 amO M G. I guess we're gonna do this thing. Leaving in a couple hours for the shuttle to Philly.
I'm 65% terrified and 35% excited. Won't lose that fear 'til I touch down in Frankfurt tomorrow morning, lol.
My luggage is full of surprises and boots and weighs an approximate shit-ton. My niece lent me a phone-that-is-only-a-camera, now, and THANK GOD I figured out how to put music on it, as the charger for my wee Ipod-thing literally broke yesterday.
I just talked to Anita on the phone and she sounds lovely. My brother (the hero in all of this, and I mean that sincerely) google-earthed her place and it's a wee adorable brick house with a neat-as-a-pin front garden. Thank God, again, that she has a peacoat that will fit me, so I don't have to try to stuff mine into the overhead bin, LOL.
Pete just started screaming at me, last night, when I tried to call him -- some emergency he was having...IE: his dvd skipped a pause or something..I balked and he heard it in my voice and launched into Lecture #1431: "You don't take anything I say seriously", and was screaming so loud, I just hung up. He fluctuates between pretending I'm not going and calling me with 'Plane disasters', and I just can't afford the negativity. I hate to leave things this way and may still try to call him to say goodbye - because I'm stupid, like that.
My daughter popped in - when I'd JUST left to go get water - - and left me a sweet note, with a feather and a rock from Hibernia Park, to take for good luck. ♥
DJ, of course, is Mr. Casual.
Still can't believe this is happening. Must be brave.
Love, PPLs. Love.

Nov. 24th, 2016 07:59 pmHappy Thanksgiving to all those that celebrate <3
All that remains is the return trip to Philly, tomorrow, to pick up my passport, then, some last minute laundry/packing. Then, I fly out on Sunday, the 27th..Touch down in Frankfurt, Germany for a few hours..then, on to Birmingham, which is huge.
My daughter. Made me look up schedules online, and *gave me a hundred dollars cash* to take the train to Solsbury Hill. I get a bus to Batheaston, from Bath, blah blah blah..
Yes, I cried.
If we time it right, I will be there at sunset..Twilight, the Magic Time *goosebumps*..when we saw that, we just looked at each other and I knew that she knew.
Christmas gift, indeed. LIFE gift.
You should see the hotel that Anita has booked for us in Manchester. Pretty lah-dee-dah. The Cure will be playing on the 28th, right across the street...and WHOO-HOO! I'M TAKING THE CUREJACKET ™ FOR HER TO WEAR AT THE SHOW.
I can't freakin' wait.

If this becomes real, if it really becomes true - what I've wanted my whole life, since I was six years old - - I MUST go for it. There seems to be so little left for me, here, but a long slow slog unto death.
As my dearest friend said, "I can't think of a better happy ending for you."

Sep. 28th, 2016 10:45 pmWatching Elon Musk's Big Mars Talk, and it's absolutely thrilling. He's talking reusable/refueling boosters (used up to 1,000 times) and carbon fibre ships - - all, liEk, within ten years or so. With a capacity for a crew of 100 - how, 'Enterprise' - - and reducing costs to under $100,000 per person, with a travel time of 80 days and possibly less. I need to win the lottery :)
I teared up when he casually dropped the fact that he's leased Pad 39A from NASA for the Big Mars Launch - - http://www.jonbrack360.com/launchpad_39a/ - - it just seems so @#$%^ fitting. PAD 39A. That's the sacred ground that Apollo 11 (and many others) slipped the surly bonds from.
What a time to be alive. I hope I live to see it; so sad that Carl Sagan is not. Dang.

Sep. 14th, 2016 11:59 pmSo, I got my first tattoo, I love it, and it's perfect :D
I went by myself, and the people were so nice...To clarify, the two artists I had contact with were really nice and kinda *cute*, and that definitely helped. It literally did not hurt *at all*. I asked my artist, Herbie, if..it was working, as I felt almost nothing -- and took all of a half-hour to do, while I lay back and listened to music. The one guy hugged me when it was done, 'Congratulations' - LOL. And that was that.
http://www.tricountytattoo.com/artists2.php
I knew everything would be okay when I pulled into the parking lot of the shop. The slushie place down the row from it was happily playing -
- wait for it -
Autobahn, by Kraftwerk - over their outside speakers. I swear, on Neil Armstrong's footprint.
WTF are the odds.
If that wasn't a, 'thumbs-up' from Frankie, I don't know what else could have been ♥

Perfect night, perfect venue, perfect company.
I could barely take the bliss, was almost in tears. I *love* their opening and couldn't believe that I was actually *there*, witnessing it live - the vocorder welcomed us, and the hairs literally stood up on my arms. The music was just melting and shimmering, all around us. Such absolute joy. I'm still so high on it, I can't really speak, yet. I want to remember it so -
