There is too much to do...

I'm under the weather and my car is leaking power steering fluid and men are crazy and laundry needs to get done. So, have a look at what's been happening the past few weeks.

This Summer and Then Some...

House Warmings and Birth Days

Collective from the past two days- The Cass house warming party and CJ's birthday celebration. 

The hour drive up to their new place was worth it to see how well they've done up their space. KC had a really adorable kitchen- totally her style.

The cute couple. And Tom Waits.

 Also, The Ex brought his new puppy along who was the biggest draw at the party.

`

 Onto the pizza/beer/birthday fest. We all braved the rain and headed to Blah (obviously) and proceeded to buy every type of beer on the menu and most of the pizzas. 

 I'm guessing the french fry was super hot.

 Not totally sure what this was all about...

 

 It was actually really beautiful out with the rain and the street lights. Unless you wanted to smoke- then it was inconvenient.

 Or if you had curled your hair that night. Mine fell pretty hard. Unlike The New Boy, who always has very nice hair.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to leave all these amazing people in a few months...

Sometimes I like to Glut Myself on Amazing Things

Like this morning.

I'm currently sitting out on the porch under perfectly cloudy skies. While eating a bell pepper and sausage scramble, while drinking a very strong cup of coffee. All while smoking a cigarette and listening to Alison Krauss.

My own personal Bacchanal.

Sadly, it can't last as I need to go get ready for an hour long drive north for the Cass housewarming party. And then back down south for my brother's birthday dinner. 

So, I'll leave you with some Chris Thomas King. I've been listening to the O Brother soundtrack on repeat lately and this song is just so brilliant.

Last Night and This Morning

The night began with some pirate themed tattoo art at The Vishuddha Creatives shop. Home of my future Matryoshka tattoo and the object of my newly rekindled infatuation. I don't know his name but man alive, is he pretty.

Anyway, it was a small little show with some really nice pieces. Sadly, I forgot about photo documentation so you'll just have to take my word for it.

Then off to Tiger!Tiger! the newest offshoot of Blind Lady Ale house. It was their ubersoft opening or some such thing so there was much sawdust, haphazardly placed boxes and a general feeling of  not just there. And while it won't be bumping Blah out of it's coveted "Best Bar" spot for me anytime soon, it was still a fair shake. I'm excited to see what they do with it.

 Afterwards, I forced CJ to return to South Park so I could dance. Poor girl.

Morning hair and my collection of admittance stamps.

CG was kind enough to let us crash at his place. Honestly, he didn't get much of a say in it.

We were feeling understandably ugh this morning, so we decided to go to the Orient and overindulge in Szechuan.  This is a plate of salt and pepper tofu which even I had to admit was delicious.
