has it really been that long?

so i took a break. not a "woe to me, i am soooooooo depressed" break this time, but just a break from my rambling. it just so happened that i didn't have much to say. work, eat, sleep, blah blah bitty blah. to and fro, to and fro. like grover says: now i am near... and now i am far. it was grover, wasn't it?

since i've been so neglectful in posting anything cool, mary has been holding the GIRLFEST '07 photos hostage. are ya happy now mary? are you?!?! HUH?!? ARE YOU?!?! (fine fine, i know she's actually just busy as hell with the moving thing) my camera wasn't charged before i left seattle and i then got too lazy to take any pictures when i stopped off in tulsa. ah, but the memories. if you haven't sat around watching something like "sisterhood of the travelling pants" with some good friends while snacking with a vengeance, you haven't properly lived.

let's see, has anything else special happened? oh yeah, there is that one little thing. derek and i spent the weekend in celebration of our fifteenth anniversary together. yes, you did read that right. and what, you ask, could one do for such a fantabulous occasion? why, they dig out their long lost entertainment book and go coupon happy! we had so much buy one get one free action going on that i think we've finally become one person. adding nerdiness to frugality, we whipped out our aaa card at the drop of a hat. "excuse me, but does THIS make any difference in the total?" we are the cheapest bastards in the universe. last year we did free stuff, the year before that we used it as a tax deduction for business, and next year you can probably bet that we're headed straight for the early bird special. or maybe just happy hour.

free or cheap stuff we did this weekend:
seattle storm basketball game
wa state history museum
nachos! nachos! nachos!
stared at hamsters at the pet store
played pool with friends
sci-fi museum
experience music project
dick's drive-in

fif-frikkin-teen. yep, the sci-fi museum was definitely the place to go for that. i saw captain kirk's old chair!!!

in other news, we're cruising for a bigger place come september. our window-ridden apartment is cute and cozy, but we could both use some extra room to spread our wings. i would like to have just a bit more square footage at a decent price. it's that second part of the equation that gets tricky. rent around here is a doozy. not so bad as it was in crapifornia, but still quite a chunk. i'm keeping my eyes (and my options) open to see what's out there for us. oh holy fuck, i just don't even want to ponder on moving that fishtank again! if you thought the file cabinets were bad, try hauling around wet sand and random fish stuff until your arms get longer. glub glub glub. anyone got new ideas for us?


my latest musical purchases:
nat king cole - a must have
the new BJORK - it's simply faboo!!!

I bet the kitties are sad you didn't actually BUY a hamster. My kitties were always fascinated by my rats.

Hooray! You're back!!!! I was tempted to put a post on my blog just to confirm that, yes, I had spoken to both you and Derek on the phone and, no, neither of you were dead or dying.

By the way, watching "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" with girlfriends who are traveling far away from you? Soooo damn depressing. Really. That movie made me weepy.

I was coming here to post a harassing "where are you?" comment, but look! here you are!

You could always move to Winnipeg. Rent is super cheap there and you'd be in the same city as me and Ptichka. AND you'd be in Canada. All would be right in the world.

liz, these cats have yet to live with a rodent, unlike most of my former kitties. they have enough mental problems in dealing with each other. still.

mary, i wuf my eeegirl. save a spot in the new guest room for me.

zhen, if only derek could do his job from canada we might just take off and move there next. but that doesn't mean i can't pop in for a visit sometime...
