"promise not to stop when i say when"

hello readers!

long time no post. no one particular reason really...writer's block? void of thought? hibernation mode? busy but lazy at the same time? take your pick really.

highlights:

a classic girls' night out with sue, vij, canuckian and i: we had a yummy dinner full of good food and long-awaited gossip/catch-up, followed by glamming ourselves up and then heading out for some drinking and dancing. even if the club we ultimately found ourselves in was a bit on the slow side (where was everyone that saturday evening? obviously we didn't know where the "hip" spots were) we had a marvelous time. we shook our respective booties to the beat and i dropped some cheesy 80's dance moves (think "the butterfly") into the mix for some laughs. i chuckle to myself when i think that no matter how glammed up i get, no matter how hot i look in my backless top, when i'm on the dance floor with friends the goofy moves inevitably make an appearance. nothing screams "hot stuff" like doing the running man. :o)

FOO FIGHTERS CONCERT: OH MY GOD CANUCKIAN AND I WENT TO SEE THE FOO FIGHTERS ON SATURDAY AND IT EFFIN' ROCKED SO BIG TIME THAT I'M TYPING THIS ALL IN CAPITALS TO CONVEY HOW EFFIN' AWESOME IT WAS!!! I AM IN SOME SERIOUS LOVE WITH THAT DAVE GROHL - HE IS JUST PURE MAGIC - MUSICALLY TALENTED, FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS, CAN ROCK OUT WITH THE BEST OF THEM - THAT IS WHAT I WANT IN A MAN! OH, AND RUSH MADE AN APPEARANCE, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? WHAT A TREAT. RUSH AND THE FOO FIGHTERS ON THE SAME STAGE. EFFIN' ACE. HERE ARE SOME CRAPPY PICS FROM MY CAMERA:





i am still on my foo fighters high. mmm...

canuckian's in new orleans (i.e. n'awlins) at the moment for a conference. lucky bum gets to experience some lovely weather. i told her to buy me stuff. hopefully she will.

my research is going i suppose, the data i need from a certain department is finally coming in in drips and drabs...i don't want to get into it too much as it'll consist of me bitchin' and moanin' about office politics and whatnot...i get bored just thinking about it, let alone typing it all out for you to read it and get bored reading it...MOVIN' ON...

chili doesn't know it but i've arranged a playdate with him and two of my friends' dogs next saturday, two lovely bulldogs named aiko and norm! it'll be the first time they meet so i really do hope they get along. chili loves just about everyone (man or beast) but sometimes they don't love him back - may this not be the case with aiko and norm!

musings:

no musings to report really...like many people i have thoughts and opinions on many things constantly swirling in my head...none of these thoughts settle for long enough to crystallize into anything significant, at least not as of late. oh well, no worries...one can't be so introspective all the time!

gossip:

talk about a cyber-soap opera: i've been reading bete de jour (an ugly man's guide to life, love and happiness) and apparently bete has slept with his best friend's ex, right after they broke up! OH, and his best friend might have multiple sclerosis! sordid shit fo sho. check out their blogs, not only for the drama but for some pretty awesome writing too (well, bete's mainly, his best friend is very angry right now - totally understandable - and just swears a lot).

okay, i think that's about it.

CET :o)
