Tangent! funnily enough, only recently am I concerned with the quality of food and more skeptical the less it costs - you gotta a coop out back? - Baka used to cut up a tomato from her garden and liberally swim it in oil and salt, it was my favourite effing snack when I was younger. Hell, today! However, I just am not availing myself to as many people's produce. I really want to participate in a community garden. Maybe I should look into sharesies, I'm great in a team. Unless it's sports. Then I'm great with showing up and being enthusiastic. I truly love being enthusiastic. And Tangent, scene! what was I...
I wish I could have a running scroll of the things I am saying follow me, but invisible to others -would be awkward. I LOVE being able to look up and have an answer to what the hell was I talking about? Eat your heart out Michael Ondaatje.
Anyhoo - so in we go to the bar where casual chatting and hanging seems to be the vibe UNTIL...
Literally 15 minutes after we get there there's the snap, crackle of a mic being set up. Oh, is it karaoke tonight? I ask innocently. Pfft! PFFT! is the response from MH and new joiner RMcD. Apparently, the karaoke at this bar on this weeknight is basically for regulars, who sing their regular songs. So the first couple gets up and it's Space Oddity and the guy has the most sonorous voice. But they're both looking off at this fixed point which a swivel in my chair told me was to nothing in particular so, sotto voce, I remark - Jeez, they are seri-OS up in here - which gets me a few shifty side eyes. To which I raise my eyebrow as the debil sits on my shoulder and starts chirping - oh, did I interrupt amateur hour? Is this your rehearsal time? Is this just before your big break? Did my presence disrupt the Arrrr-tiste? Fiiiine, lemme show you how disruptive I can be! Push up my sleeves, crank the brain to GIT'EM mode which is when the angel sits down and says is this really a big deal? You wanna be startin' somethin'? Which, really, I don't but I may have laughed a little louder at everything, could have chair danced with some flailing and/or slooooowly walked in front of the mic back and forth to the bathroom (broke the seal! oops)
Well, sure am glad I'm over that passive aggressive bullshit.
(I'm not over it)
There are so many funny broads out there it is truly shocking that Lorne Michaels had to do a secret mega audition to fill ranks. Wild. I love this other woman who does tipsy book reviews. Isn't that every bookclub? but for one! I can get behind this!
Who am I kidding, I do this all the time. Wine makes the characters a shade brighter, just like at a party with real people.
Maybe it's because I know so many outrageously funny women. I am always loudly, whole-heartedly laughing out loud at my vivacious, hilarious compadre-ettes. I hateHATE hearing or seeing the letters/acronym LOL - like eye twitching hate. I know! Crazy! eh, everybody's got their special sauce.
Omigod! Remember KoRN? Thanks iTunes with random tune activated! Shit - I thought I was SO HARD listening to this in the basement. The same one I didn't really leave while reading historical romance novels from 1993-1997.
I'm cool today and that's what counts.
So, guys. Please click this link - it's the greatest one of all time. ( <-- No, seriously. click that)That I have discovered. And by discovered I mean given to me by a Facebook algorithm.
I honestly love my cat's perplexed face when I scream at her for doing the things that drive me mental chewing my plants, drinking their water, cleaning her asshole in front of guests, singing the song of her people when I am in the bath, clawing the furniture. It's amazing to list off a small portion but when I swivel to glare at her, her little, yellow round eyes hypnotize me. Apparently cat's never made it past 50% domesticated which is why they truly don't understand us, don't reeeeally care what we say/think and would eat us if we died.
I am subscribed to this page on Facebook, Word Porn and it truly makes me happy everyday. My favourite words so far are both Japanese.
First - Komorebi ~ Sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees. The green glow that is sunlight through grass or leaves it truly one of my favourite things, lying under a canopy with a genle breeze listing over you is bliss.
And then - Kintsukuroi ~ "to repair with gold" the art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer and understanding the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.
I feel like both are so beautiful.
One of my other favourite words is because it was introduced by one of my most delightful friends - honestly, she just attracts and radiates sweet happiness - who is Italian and it's scarpetta which literally means, I think 'little shoes' but is the act of wiping one' plate to get all the sauces with bread. Mmmm, gluten-y, gluten-y, gas inducing bread. TMI? Onwards!
I wonder what the word is for making yourself cry with videos on the internet. I see the caption says tear jerker and still I click through, I do like the catharsis of it all. Especially kids or animals. I'm currently smearing my eye makeup like it's a horror film audition. I will take this as a reminder that I am probably dehydrated and some water with lightly added cranberry juice to it is what I need. I have a bit of a headache, that' f'sho dehydration. People, do not forget the water if only not to have haggard skin. Also, death.
I am living into me going to SXSW, I am requesting of the Universe everyday that this happens through gentle, soothing hints to my boss. (You're #1!) I just want to be in the dry heat, sending smouldering glances to the man-hunks strolling around. When not rocking out with every cell on maximum vibration, partying with the people, arms up. God. I love rocking out. Being with abandon for a period of time. Also, to be able to see some people I love and have not taken real action in having togtherness with in some time. I really appreciate the FB for that, I want to know and be in contact but am also not to be relied on for phone calls and letters. I WISH you could rely on me for letters, I would lovelove a pen pal. So awesome. I could send stickers.
Ok pen pals, community gardens, going to SXSW and becoming a ninja - first half of 2014 tasks. Hold me to it, I'm squirmy.
You jam out with your clam out, y'hear?
