Perkins, Iron Man was good fun!
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I live recklessly Tom.
I want to see that a little more than Indy Kat, but the timing works out better for Indy today, so I was thinking Indy today and Iron Man tomorrow.

I just had lunch sitting out at my patio table. Soon I will walk up the street to see the Memorial Day parade that Somerville puts on....

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
OMG, y'all.
I still have lots and lots of Natter to read from the weekend (arrg. Can you call it a weekend when you have to wake up early every single day of it to take care of Things and People and not getting enough sleep?), but I'm just so... happy. Deus ex machinas do happen (grammar?).
I got a call from my boss about 20 minutes ago. Next salary I'll get over 1000$ as a bonus for my "work results" of the past months. This solves not only the property tax I have to pay (~500$), but all of the shows of the bands that will come from abroad here this summer (I almost thought to call and cancel my ticket for Dinosaur Jr. to save the money for Low in September), but above all, and I know it's gonna sound stupid, but...
It's been about a month or so now that I really, really, really want to have a wonderful red dress. With folds. One I can go out with to weddings and stuff like that, but also to rock out in shows. I even kindda know what I want, and this isn't the usual deal with me - I hate shopping for clothes (humm. I'm gonna need to use some of that money for clothing too, given the new holes I discover in my clothes every day). I thought about asking the money for it from my family as a birthday present (my birthday's coming in August), and this might still be the case, but... knowing I can afford this now. It just feels great.
This is just... neat!
Edit: typos galore. Hey, anyone wants to help me with the hunt after the red dress?

Yay for bonus money Shir! Though it kinda cracks me up that you would wear the same dress to shows and weddings! Clearly, I am a slutty slutty show goer.
A sequined kitty costume in black and pink. It is obscenely cute. I PROMISE this time I'll take pictures.
YOU MUST.
And now I must run off to brunch.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am at work right now, because I forgot my meds here, and couldn't go the whole weekend.
Are there any cat people around, though. My cat has discovered that there is another cat in the downstairs apartment. My new cat, according to her former owners, does not like other cats, and this is why she pees on things! How can I make her forget about the other cat? She was in the little entryway between our apartments, and was hissing at him through the closed and shaded door. I think he was sticking his paws out under the door. I had to run upstairs to get a spray bottle of water to get her to go back inside my apartment. And now I hope she isn't peeing everywhere!

Who said I'm not a slutty wedding goer...?
Ouch, tiggy. Feel better.

Tiggy,
Take some of that Airborne stuff that's full of Zinc and Vitamin C. Those usually work for me.
Or you could take a big fat placebo, its probably about the same thing. ;-)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, Shir!
I've got nothing for you, Sophia, since my dumb cat has no reaction to any other animal nearby, if they aren't right in his business.
I saw Iron Man! Good times, good times. And I remembered to stay past the credits.
Soon I will walk up the street to see the Memorial Day parade that Somerville puts on....
That parade will always live in my memory for this story: Several years ago, but post-college, I was home over Memorial Day, so we went to see the parade. While walking in the parade, Mayor Mike (possibly Congressman by that time) totally called me out. He said, "Jesse! Did you bring your laundry home with you?!?" And I totally had. I was super embarassed. (My dad used to work for him, which is why he knows me.)
