Dinner was delightful! Excellent conversation and good food...in moderation.

The non-sugar/wheat-free pecan pie was actually pretty good. The coconut biscuits were very popular and the cranberry relish was so good, I'm thrilled to have leftovers.

So glad I accepted the invitation, but even the date sugar seems to have charged me up.

I might need to take a Tylenol PM (without the Tylenol) just to get some sleep.

I hope everyone had a yummy day!

This is the current line-up of GWAR: [link]

I thought their metal cover of West End Girls was quite good!

BTW, the massive bewbs are part of the costume, not, um, hers. They spew fake blood over the audience. I plan to stand far in the back. Preferably on a balcony.

That is great, Zen. I hope she has a blast.

Ooof. askye. It is going to be a long month. I guess you know what to expect now. Maybe a nice bonus at the end?

Sounds like a yummy and fun T'day, Bonny!

I hope that there were fun days all round. We had great fun, family, and food. Transport is now an issue though. The truck may have thrown a rod. Just paid $3400 for 8 new injectors now who know what. Over 100 miles from home of course. Had to get 2 family members to fetch us because 4 of us, food, and dog would not fit with another driver. So AAA this morning to get towed cross state and my brother will cart the rest of us home. Bother.

Rest well, askye. Hope the uti clears up quickly.

Oof, Laura. I'm glad you weren't beyond the reach of family.

Zenkitty, GWAR certainly made West End Girls their own. I liked that performance - it had a logic and charm I didn't expect. I suspect that if I liked Metal, I would effing ADORE them.

GWAR! How cool, Zen.

Oderus’ boat went up in flames,
Now all of Vallhalla chants his name!
Oderus, I miss you more than all the others.
I salute you my brother!

Have we ever discussed mouse traps?

I can't even speak how much I hate having to do this. My landlord is useless and living in an 1860 building means prevention isn't really an option.

This morning, the cutest little grey mouse eluded me all over my kitchen counter. I can't bear the idea of killing it, but I just can't live peacefully with them.

I am not proficient with typical Victor traps but haven't found a better option.

Any ideas?

I really, truly am frustrated.

Zen, how exciting for your niece! The folks in GWAR are really sweet people.

The entertaining part of being the partner of a cross-dresser means I can buy him a vintage jewelry box for Christmas. It's so cool, I kind of want it for me, but I don't need it. And he'll love it.

Steph, may you both enjoy having it around. I can see why it is appealing. It deserves to be with people who will admire it.
