Hey y'all. I'm back from a fabulous weekend in Montreal. Pictures from the medieval halloween ball are here.
I was hoping for lots of pretty boys in tights, of which there were few, but there was fire-breathing, sword-fighting, various devils and angels duking it out...so we were happy. We were also the only anglophones in the place, which was an old chalet at the very top of Mt-Royal, overlooking the city. Fun!
Oooh. t envying brenda's weekend
But I have pictures too! Thanks to sa (and to the several other buffistas who offered!), who's put them up here:
It includes David and me in our "Bardot A Go Go" outfits, some pictures from the RennFaire with Jacqueline, and a picture of me in drag...
Well, my grandmother didn't tell me the entire story. My grandpa has a bacterial infection in his colon as a result of all the antibiotics they gave him to fight off the pneumonia and sepsis. So, his belly got all distended and they have him on IV fluids to rehydrate him as well as a tube in his belly to drain the bacteria as well as more antibiotics to kill the infection that too many antibiotics gave him. I want to scream and kick and yell and just freak out.
Dear Buffistas, Thuy and I will be getting married -- according to the auspicious time for a Monkey (her) to marry a Dragon (me) in the Year Of the Horse -- at around 9 AM on Thursday the 12th of December.
Due to the unusual time, there'll be a reception/party/barbecue the following Saturday, and everyone's invited.
Cards, presents, wads of cash and stray Buffistas to:
3/351 Edgecliff Rd
Edgecliff
NSW
2027
Australia
please...
I will be incommunicado until late Sunday night.
Off to Hilton Head for bridesmaiding.
I have a ticket to Turandot at the Metropolitan Opera tonight. Due to the fuckwit managing the project I'm working on, I'm stuck in Boston. The production is supposed to be wonderful. If any NYC Buffista is interested in going, email me at profile address. Opera starts at 8PM.
Grandpa update-He has a C Dif infection. Doing better, hungry and bickering at my gram, so he's back on the mend. He's having a bowel ultrasound this morning to make sure there aren't any perforations or clots.
Hi! Really quick message here to let you all know I'm not dead or anything! I've had a GREAT time being off, but I am working at my new job RIGHT NOW -- it's my second day, and I have access, just not as much as I used to. I'm a court advocate in a women's shelter and so far it's great. Money's not wonderful but -- get this -- I get to make up my own schedule. As long as I hit 40 hours a week, and am here for some meeting, it's anything goes. Woo and hoo. On the downside, I now have to share an office, so no porn.
I'll try to check in later. Miss you all!
Just realized that it's my two year anniversary of moving to LA, today. I believe all important life changing things should happen on Halloween.
I will be dark starting this afternoon, through Monday, as I'm going to a convention.
