Take The Goth Type Test

Tonight is Bingo Night. Maybe I'll win a paddle or a velvet Elvis if I show up. :)

Had a lovely time seeing Merry Wives of Windsor with friends at the Shakespeare Tavern last weekend. I seem to have a healthy social life for someone broke and vaguely paranoid around new people. The other big event of the weekend was the grand opening of Liberty Tattoo on Ponce de Leon Avenue.


This coming weekend is going to be jam-packed with fun. DragonCon happens this week down town.
Ms. Kelly Hogan will be performing at the Echo Lounge in East Atlanta on Friday, August 30.
The same night, the Subsonics will be performing at the Star Community Bar in Little Five Points.
Also going on all weekend is the Starlight Drive-In Invasion 2002.
There's more happening this weekend than the 4th of July.

It's so hot and muggy today that nothing I can do will make me feel fresh. I feel grungy, steamy, sticky even indoors. My hair lies limp on my neck and face. My clothes stick to every inch of skin.

Had a frustrating dream last night - the recurring image of being in the office trying to complete several projects at once and not being able to find all the materials I needed. The job jackets and client folders were full of trash like tape scraps and the notes were sometimes written on scraps of paper placed anywhere. And, because it was a dream, all of the job instructions were illegible. I woke up grumpy today and have been in a mildly irritable mood all day. Trying to shake it and psyche up for a nice evening later. Seeking more order in my universe.

Christopher Lowell says:

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding
of ourselves. -- Carl Jung, psychiatrist (1875-1961)

It was dreadfully hot today with air quality listed as Code Red - not fit for anyone to be outdoors. The heat also seems to be affecting my sleep or lack there of.

Caught a mouse in my place yesterday. The little critter was rounding the corner when I spotted it. I cornered it in the closet it tried to hide in and picked it up by it's tail and carried it outside. Mice apparently don't enjoy being picked up by their tails - it screamed the entire trip outside - but what else could I do? I'm just glad it wasn't something larger in the same family.

I've got cabin fever tonight. I should be going through my shut down procedures getting ready for the inevitable early morning, but I really just want to take a long walk outdoors now that the city is cooling down.
