Hello,
I am in Berlin doing a summer study abroad program, and will be here till August 16. As this is the first (and quite possibly last) time I am here, I wish to take full advantage of the music while I am here. Where should I go, who should I see, what should I do? And would anyone care to meet up?
Thank you!

(Too much) Chinese food has been ordered, and is on it's way. Grumpiness is subsiding.
Those of you who bet that I wouldn't get out of TJMaxx with my $20 were right. I found these, in grass green with white trim, marked down to $15. Too cute to leave behind. So I ended up with $5.30 credited to my card.
Now it's time to sit down with a glass of merlot, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and my currently blank to-do list.
The storm brewing outside my open door is lovely.

Gunn walked down the hall of the new Watcher’s Council Headquarters. They had taken him in after LA. Until he had received the report in his hand, he had thought he was the sole survivor of Angel’s crew. In all his years dealing with demons and slayers and magic, this might be the strangest thing he had ever read. Lorne was a tent revivalist in the Amazon, finding lost demon tribes and trying to teach them the ways of peace by singing Nirvana songs as his sermons. Wonder how he has managed to keep the demon savages from killing him?

Last night I talked to my friend Bill, whom I've known since my second year at Young Harris. So that would be...24 years? Even though we haven't talked or emailed each other for several years, it was like we just picked up where we left off. It's always that way with him. There is a continuity to our souls that remains unchanged by our circumstances and experiences, and that's where we connect. It's comforting to have friends like that.

Alrighty...
$3K in the red at the moment.
$2.5K in the red this time last month.
Not the forward progress I was hoping for, but not too terrible. Hey, and I bought a washing machine last month! Well, there ya go. :-)
Still, I need to do better than that. Must keep tightening!

It is hot as fuck here. And not in a good way. It's about to rain, though, so soon it will be cooler. And there will be a dog on my head. Such is life.
Two of my impulse purchases from TJMaxx don't fit, so they are going back tomorrow. $20 saved! I'm keeping the shoes, though. Soft, gold, leather t-strap sandals on a slender heel for $20. Suede clogs for $7. Cashmere socks in charcoal grey for $3. I do love a bargain.
I'm about to sit down and figure out how close I am to paying off all my credit card debt. I think I'm a bit farther away than I was a month ago, but maybe it's not too bad. Yes, I'm a shoe-a-holic, and a sock-a-holic. But I'm also living without heat, A/C, cable TV, or video rental. Oh, and I'm a wino. That cuts into the budget a bit. And I like very nice meals out with my friends. Frequent, nice meals. But truly, other than that, I'm an angel!
I'll confess my monetary sins here later this evening. I'm not sure why I want to do that. I just feel compelled.

I just requested time off for DCon and Hypnoticon West. I thought I did all that before, but it isn't showing up on our calendar. It's entirely possible my swiss cheese memory completely forgot about it.
I've painted myself into a corner. I have to be back at work the day after DCon, dead tired or not. Otherwise, I won't have enough time off for Hypnoticon. And really, I also need to work at least half a day the day before I leave for DCon, which will stress me out, but I'll be stressed out anyway so what the hell?
No time left over for sick days, or long weekends, or anything else. No time for Alchemy, either, unless I just drive down on Friday evening after work and come back on Sunday. That's what I'll probably have to do if I want to bring whipman with me, anyway. And I definitely want to bring him.
Who knows, that may be more than enough primitive camping for me. I'm a lot like redwitch and _jeremiad when it comes to this hippy dippy shit. I love the incense, patchouli, free love, long hair, tie dye, drugs, and even some of the music. I can probably even handle hairy legs and wookie bush on my hot women. (Well, trim the wookie a bit if you don't mind. And those pits.) But I really need to bathe in order to feel like myself. You need to bathe, too, while we are on the subject. No, mud baths do not count. Mud is fun, but it doesn't replace a shower.

I'm swinging wildly between feeling very good and very bad. The head cold has me lightheaded and dizzy. The chest congestion has me exhausted after walking only a short distance. But the increased dosage of Adderall has me buzzing. I have no appetite, but I'm nibbling on my very late lunch because I know I need to eat something.
I think up lots of fun things...I almost post them...then I mini-crash and I don't want to talk at all.
I sort of want to go home early, but sitting here is taking practically no effort, so I should just stay.
I really, really hate my kitchen floor. It is, by far, the trashiest looking part of the house. But I don't want to replace it until I can pay cash for it, so I'm going to tough it out. In the meantime, I need to stop shopping. I need to stay away from TJMaxx in particular. I'm so jonesing for a TJMaxx shopping spree, you have no idea. I went there today on my lunch break, and walked out with $57 worth of stuff I don't need. If I can just stop doing this kind of thing long enough, I can pay for my freakin' floor! Gah.
I'm honestly considering setting up an online storefront to sell stockings, socks, costume items, etc. Maybe I could even vend at some of the events I attend anyway. I like the stuff, I like browsing it and handling it, trying it on, putting it on my friends, etc. I have absolutely *no intention* of trying to duplicate what Niquita does over at Sock Dreams. She simply does it too well. I'm thinking of something that's more fetish friendly, more cheap and throwaway rather than expensive and high quality. The kind of thing you run down to the dealer's room for when you realize you left yours at home, or you put a run in your last pair, or whatever. I see a lot of beautiful, custom made corsets, high quality toys, etc. at the events I attend, but not that much in the way of hoisery, cheap or nice. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery? Am I crazy? Mostly I want a little extra income, and it needs to be something I actually enjoy or else I won't do it. And the hours need to be flexible. (Honestly, I'm thinking of vending only a couple of times each year. More than that and I would burn out. The web would be the main thing.)
What else is on my mind?.....
Oh, yeah. Dreadlocks. What do you think? Not any time soon. I want to grow my hair out very long again before I do anything like that, so it would be at least another year before I seriously consider it. I'm thinking of the very tiny, sexy dreads. Not the big, ratty, "neglect" method that I see on some of the kids downtown. It would be a total pain in the ass to get them started, but once they *are* started, they should be easy to maintain. I kind of dig the idea of being the cool old lady with the sexy grey dreads and the nose ring.
AND...I really like seeing people in conservative clothing with non-conservative hair and personal adornment. I love a long haired boy in a suit, a woman with studs all the way up both ears in a sharp business outfit, a tattoo peeking through a stocking, etc. So I think the dreads would work with the girly and professional stuff I wear to work.
Again...thoughts?
I swung up and back down again while writing this post.
P.S. When I picture the woman in the business outfit, she looks just like humblepie.

I sat in the swings in Forsyth Park, moving slowly and listening to the sounds of the night. I know it is not safe to be here alone, but I wasn’t frightened. I was happy to be home and to have the comforting memories of the past surround me, replacing the stress and worries of life. I had come here on a date when I was a teenager. That night was similar to this, but so different. That girl had thought she knew so much about life. The woman of now is beginning to realize how little she truly knows.
