Birthday @ Vortex

Thanks to all that joined me for my birfday! It was fun despite it being Sunday and a work night.

As I’ve said before, I have the best group of friends EVAH! We took over the deck at Vortex for a while! :-)

The core group is solid as a rock and that’s a great thing. It’s great to hang out with people who are as pervy, politically incorrect and intolerant of jackassery as we all are.

As some dumbasses just found out: dumbasses need not apply!! LOL

Thanks, everyone!

Aww, Nick is the bestest!

He just put up a thread in LJ for me – sort of an anti-con-assholes thread for my friends to show me some wuv. He’s such a good boy! He puts up with my cranky pants, fear and loathing and otherwise grouchy behaviour and still manages to love me. All my friends put up with my crankiness and still manage to love me – I’m a lucky girl.

I have the best partner ever and the best friends ever.

I love you guys!!

xoxox

Yah, yah, I’ll be there Sunday

I *do* feel like bolting, but I won’t until after Sunday. I wouldn’t mess up Nick’s plans.

But I am still morose and foul and cranky and overall bitchy as hell.

I’ll try to put all that aside for Sunday but it may take a few drinks to do that, so bring your drink buying money, bitches!!

See ya Sunday.

Holmes Comet pic

Here’s another shot of the Holmes comet! It’s at APOD and you can even zoom in on the pic! How cool is that?

The comet is currently still expanding and is visually about 1/3 the size of the full moon. Wow! (Physically it’s about as big as Jupiter, I think.)

Get into your yard and check this out tonite. Stand facing NE. Find the Pleiades (7 Sisters) which will be about 3/4 of the way directly overhead then scan the sky to the left to find the Perseus constellation. Before you figure out which is Perseus you’ll see this very bright thing that looks rather like a distant airplane headlight or a planet. That would be Holmes-Allen.

Go ahead and get your geek on! I won’t tell… ;-)

Stressed out!

Ok, so the Moon transition is making me SO stressed out. The new people haven’t even had the place a WEEK yet and they are remodeling. Which wouldn’t be so bad except that it is now Greek tile and mirrors on the goddam walls with the retro 50s lamps and such still hanging…

JUST DAMN.

I’m thinking this gig will be very short. I just don’t think I can handle watching this thing be dismantled by people who don’t even know that they are ruining it. It’s just too disappointing. I’ve put 5 years of my life into this place and it hurts like a motherfucker to watch them completely trample the concept.

What the really retarded part is: why did they pay this huh-YOOGE chunk of money for the concept in the first fucking place if they are going to disregard it? Hmm? WHY? It makes no sense whatsoever.

So, yes, it’s Friday, I’m stressed out and now I shall drink.

Cheers!
