you can pin and mount me like a butterfly

years ago i met this really cute boy who could dance like jarvis cocker but his feet smelled really bad so i made him sleep on the couch. let that be a lesson.
so yeah, it's been a week since i've posted. and it was a week.on sunday i did laundry, worked in the office and headed over to frank's. he lured me in with the promise of polanski's "the fearless vampire killers" which was wonderfully polanski. i also learned a lesson that day - too much choice can be a bad thing. we went to the whole foods deli to pick up lunch and i swear we wandered around dumbfounded for a good 20 minutes. wtf? i finally settled on indian food and i think frank went for rice. silly vegetarian.

when i woke up for work on monday i was covered in hives!well, truth be told, i tossed and turned and itched all night finally pulling my sleeves down over my hands to keep from scratching. after a miserable day and half a tube of hydrocortisone i figured out that it was my new fabric softener causing my misery. damn you, world! so since i looked like a connect the dots puzzle, i really didn't take any pictures this week. i'm sure you understand, right?

thursday was really the only day i felt human enough to take any. i dug out an anthro sweater dress, a ruffly skirt and a shawl and rocked the grandma chic.

my new favorite morning drink - cinnamon spice tea with creme brulee non-dairy creamer. it's like a cup full of liquid cookies without all the fat and calories! which reminds me to time to hit the grocery store....

so of course since i'm old maid-ed up again i get invited out to meet up with my new friend thom. he was taking pictures at a burlesque show that night.
ok, people who know me know this about me - i HATE burlesque. it generally (in seattle, at least) involves a bunch of very confident but very un-talented people doing things that they probably shouldn't and i find myself being embarrassed for them. while there were a few (two) very good performers and an amazing aerialist, the night was, um, less than mind blowing. the beth ditto impersonator totally had the look down but the voice...oops - she wasn't a beth ditto impersonator? sorry. well, maybe she has a potential new career ahead of her!and just remember - it ain't over 'til the mean lady sucking down beer at the bar makes fun of your purse and calls your sweater a poncho. because i really needed that, thank you.
so all in all, i STILL HATE burlesque. and judging by the crowd of 11 spectators, so does the rest of seattle. but yays 'cause i got paid and gib sent me an amazing song he wrote and i'm going out with diane and grey tonight (third wheel girl!) and i'm going to portland for halloween and i have chocolate and my roomie's leaving for the weekend so i can watch scary movies tonight without being distracted by his kids whining. double yays!
