Helped Katie with her job hunting. Bought a dresser. Previous landpeers paid back the deposit (to Jeff, not to me, but I don’t care, candidly). I would like to publicly thank Jeff for dealing with this entire mess with his usual deft combination of skill, smarts and calm. Then re watched True Blood (yeah… s’addiction, [...]
Depending on a number of things I have no control over, I probably won’t be going to Hot Springs Cove this weekend, and may end up in Castlegar instead. More news as events warrant. Dentist again today. Then, helping Katie find work. It’s good to be able to help her, and she’s feeling rather blah [...]
Pondfilk / John’s memorial was great. A neighbourhood stranger wandered in with his daughter and picked up the guitar and started singing Wish You Were Here and THAT was the point I had to flee. I like two people singing that. One of them is me, and the other is Mike, and this guy’s version [...]
1. Practiced “The Weight” by the Band. Practiced “That Godforsaken Hellhole I Call Home”. Practiced “The Exchange I Make”, “All the Con Men I have Known”, “Words Fail” (also known to my fans as the Telecom Song) and numbers of others. Found the lyrics for “Daybreak” and added to CESOAS. Entered most of “Grieg” on [...]
We can go get her any time now. Sigh of relief.
So Jeff and I will pick her up at 5:30. We intend to video Her Loopiness.
Yes, indeed. Jeff and I got in the car at 1 minute after 4, and in rush hour traffic we a) made it to our destination, a cash only appliance place just north of the Justice Institute on McBride b) parked c) examined three dishwashers d) made our choice e) split up while he made [...]
Doc Mehdi says her platelet count is so low that if he operated now she’d bleed out. Good thing I went for the pre-op screening. One of two things is going on. Either the results were f*cked up, AND they didn’t call me to tell us before Jeff took her in, or she’s genuinely sick [...]
I am feeling a bit fluttery about Miss Margot’s operation today. She has a strong heart (Persians sometimes run to heart trouble) and her pre-op screen came back okay, but I’m still unhappy, and listening to her cry for her lost dinner and breakfast is making me sad. Wait til she comes home reeking of [...]
Is it too soon for this? I am currently of the view that he starved himself into a heart attack, probably with the assistance of ‘diet pills’.
I looked up Michael Moschen and hung around on his website for a while, and then decided that I wanted to find out what David Van Tieghem, the guy who did the music for the PBS special “In Motion”, was doing these days. I found out that he scored some porn films (?!) and then [...]
holy cow.
After being here for a couple of hours including grabbing a bath and some shut eye, Katie left in the middle of the night and let all three cats out. I heard squawking about an hour ago and got up to let them in, and Margot was soaked and FILTHY. Considering you have to hold [...]
Awake at 4:30, up at 6, made breakfast for me and Jeff, showered and headed off to Edmonds Skytrain Station, where I met up with Katie and went into the VCC to be the ‘living model’ for her three hour practical exam. This won’t mean anything to anybody who hasn’t seen episode 2 of this [...]
Of course I played it through in Midi format and realized that I’m going to have to re-do it, but at least the main tune and chorus are written down. Damn me for making the tune of every single verse different for dramatic effect. So that’s ONE song scratched off, if not perfectly. Tomorrow, something [...]
