- 19:08 @Serif Hear, hear. On both counts. Michael had some serious, serious problems that cannot be glossed over, but he changed music forever. #
- 21:01 @YoungBillyMays :( *hugs* Your dad was loved by so many people he never even met. Now you are too. #
- 06:01 For abuse survivors, emotional triggers are everywhere. Very hard to explain to friends when you're crying hysterically. Sorry, friends! #
- 06:09 #wearblue4billy RT @antcarretero I'll do collage. Send pics (of your blue Billy Mays tribute) to musicguycny@gmail.com (Subject: BMTribute) #
- 08:37 Got to work later than i wanted-didn't realize Hunter's preschool was closed today. My (nonexistent) kingdom for a childcare backup plan! #
- 10:18 Wearing blue for Billy Mays tribute. At least it's one thing I can do that won't piss somebody off. Ready for something to go right now. #
- 11:55 Ladies: if the chain has broken on an office toilet, the correct response is never to abandon your payload & pretend nothing happened. Thx! #
- 14:03 TMBG's "They'll Need A Crane" playing-possibly the song I least want to hear right now. Gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad. #

June 28th, 2009
- 22:00 Unpleasant phone call from ex. So upset now. Shoulder muscles clenched solid. Shit. #
- 07:09 Kids coming home early today, yay! Must tidy up for their arrival. Can't wait to show them our new couch! Streaming WOXY Vintage. Excellent. #
- 08:13 @faeriebomb Hunter too. He hardly eats meat, but does eat eggs, beans, & cheese. Jack might eat regular meat later, baby food's nasty. #
- 09:49 @YoungBillyMays I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad a few years ago; it still hurts, but it does get better. You're in my thoughts. #
- 10:11 Shocked to read about death of Billy Mays. Lord knows we've clowned him a lot, myself included, but my sincere condolences to his family. #
- 10:24 Dear previous tenant, why did you have to leave your dried booger stuck to the back of my bedroom door where I just now saw it? No love, N23 #
- 10:37 After departure of ex, found my wedding dress unceremoniously dumped on my bed. A faded relic of the day I thought I'd found true happiness. #
- 13:16 #wearblue4billy - Wear blue tomorrow in memory of Billy Mays. Come on cappers, let's show a little love for the man who gave us so much. #
- 17:27 Spent more at Jiffy Lube than I wanted to & car needs service they don't do. Now home to sweltering apartment & unfolded laundry. Bad mood. #
June 27th, 2009
- 22:09 Home from temple. Miserably hot in apartment. Miss the kids. Feeling a bit low. Perhaps some capping time. #
- 08:28 Off to grocery store. Co-worker might be giving me a couch today. Here's hoping. Using boxes as furniture = fail. #
- 09:22 ...Wow, I've never seen a grocery store with a "No Begging" sign out front before. I love L.A.! #
- 10:14 It's been a long time since I was in a store offering whole lamb heads. Ah, childhood memories. ...The live catfish, though, that's new. #
- 10:20 *is bitter about bagging own groceries* *reminds self that self just bought a week's worth of food for under $50* *shuts up & bags* #
- 11:23 Couch just arrived, and it's beautiful. It's a sleeper, too! So now I can entertain. Ha, ha. Hope you like generic Froot Loops and Ovaltine. #
June 26th, 2009
- 18:11 Workman from downstairs apt. just came in and checked my ensuite bathroom for leaks. Made me feel uncomfortable by asking where I work. eek #
- 19:10 Shocked to hear about Michael Jackson. Was never a big fan but I did love the song (& Egyptian-kitsch video) "Remember the Time." RIP. #
- 07:01 Stressed out. Packing for kids' weekend. Feeling like nothing I do is ever right. #
- 09:59 Listening to Joe Jackson's "Real Men." (No, not *that* Joe Jackson.) I think his voice is sexy. Is that weird? Hmmm. #
- 16:58 Feeling pretty good about things right now. And isn't that really what it's all about? #
June 25th, 2009
- 18:03 Don't be too tough on Mark Sanford. Not many men can resist the power of a hot Latina. Even white boys got to shout! Holla. #
- 18:05 Y'all, seriously. If dumpster pushing ever becomes an Olympic sport I think I could bring home the gold. And I do it in heels and a dress. #
- 18:07 @AndieTweets Ooh, my first retweet. Thank you ma'am! *curtsies* I thought you'd like that. ;) I'm just keepin' it real. Ha. #
- 06:45 Feeling oddly disconnected today, as though it is only by sheer force of will that I can put one foot in front of the other. Perhaps coffee. #
- 07:05 @unrealfred Actually, that might be my favorite one you've done. Ha! #
- 07:06 And one more for me...The Velveeta Underground #coolbandsmadeuncool #
- 10:00 Boss out of town till Monday. At local medical center to pick up donations for her. I get mileage too, so that's nice. Love my job! #
June 24th, 2009
- 20:39 Safe Sex Pistols #coolbandsmadeuncool (Jeez Louise, probably everyone's already done that one) #
- 20:49 The Jesus And Mary Chain Letter #coolbandsmadeuncool (ooh, my first trending topic) #
- 06:12 Sarah likes to pretend she's a hummingbird. Remembering the first time I saw a hummingbird, long ago, on vacation with first husband in NM. #
- 06:48 Received a generous and very thoughtful gift from an admirer. "Thank you" inadequate but you know what it means to me. You're the best! #
- 10:20 I love Talking Heads. Hey there Nyssa23! Oh oh oh, she's got a wild wild life! In other news, ex removed my name from answering machine. #
June 23rd, 2009
- 19:41 Peeps' newest hobby: saying, "Point!" and "Squirrel!" like the character Dug from "Up." Ha, ha. It is funny because the squirrel gets dead. #
- 06:08 Woke up addressing dream companion. Hope being alone isn't making me go peculiar. In other news, haven't been able to unblock spammer. :( #
- 06:08 Er, to *block* spammer, rather. See? Peculiar. #
- 06:54 @jammer427 Aw, thanks! However, sometimes having precocious children can be a bit...unsettling. They often say things they shouldn't know. #
- 08:23 Saw a guy walking a dog while reading a book. Kind of reminded me of Scott @FilmGeekCentral because he was also wearing a hat. I like hats. #
- 11:50 Nearly done with report. Boss says my next project will be something she's "failed miserably at." Does that sound like a challenge or what? #
- 13:17 Dave Matthews on the radio, a perfect summer afternoon feeling. "Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me." Someday soon. #
June 22nd, 2009
- 05:59 Finally finished watching "Serenity" yesterday. Not a bad companion to "Up." Same themes: found families, choosing values you will live by. #
- 09:10 This morning dumpster blocked my garage & hideous assortment of half-eaten food in takeout containers was strewn about. Ah, ghetto life. #
- 09:58 FYI, dumpsters very heavy & smelly. Then had to navigate through alley full of illegally-parked cars & people picking cans out of dumpsters. #
- 11:39 Superdrag's "Sucked Out" stuck in my head. Good thing I like it! "Look at me, I can write a melody but I can't expect a soul to care..." #
- 11:43 People, what is the point of eating ugly food out of little microwaveable plastic trays anyway? Shouldn't there be more to life than that? #
June 21st, 2009
- 22:44 Gin always makes me horny. Shouldn't drink it alone, but oh I do love it so. *sips G&T* #
- 08:36 Happy Father's Day, all you daddies out there. Not doing anything special today myself, my father's been dead for years. Laundry later. Whee #
- 08:39 @neosquirrel Ooh! Our hero! ...Hey, who ate all the Cheetos? #
- 11:29 @unrealfred I've certainly heard that it's a good time to buy a place in your area. Hope you find something! #
- 13:29 Laundry time. Half the machines & change machine not working due to power outage. Disagreeable woman with masklike makeup hogging dryers. #
- 13:38 Is that a chicken bone on the floor, or a really dirty Q-tip? Dear friends, by pondering such questions is the life of the mind maintained. #
- 15:49 Show support for democracy in Iran add green overlay to your Twitter avatar with 1-click - helpiranelection.com/ #
- 16:05 Home. Trying to tidy things up a bit before my dear ones get home-difficult to do without any shelves. How dreadfully I have missed peeps! #
June 20th, 2009
- 20:18 @neosquirrel You're *pregnant*? NOT IT! Ha. #
- 05:33 Whoops! Did I stay up all night? My bad. Off to catch a few winks and fake it through the rest of the day. ;) #
- 11:26 Finally made it to theater to see "Up". Wish I wasn't here by myself though. Kind of want to see "G-Force" now. Plz to send help. #
- 11:32 OMG! Is that Malcolm from "Enterprise" in a Sprint commercial? Lookin' hot. Heh. #
- 17:23 @jammer427 Adult like "Double Indemnity," or like "Deep Throat"? There's a big difference. Ooh, LJ post! Would love to see show w/you. #
- 17:25 @unrealfred I loved "Up" so much! Cried a lot though. Really makes you think about love and loss and what your life should be about. Sigh. #
- 17:27 @neosquirrel Modesty is overrated. So is the rapture. But not Dunkin' Donuts. I miss them too, they're everywhere in Texas. Mmm, donuts. #
June 19th, 2009
- 18:08 @unrealfred Ha! Well played, sir. I knew there was a soap opera joke in there somewhere. #
- 22:43 Bedtime. Sarah already defected from her room; oh well, at least I don't have to sleep alone. #
- 05:56 @Chapstick10495 Thank you kindly ma'am, I do my best. ;) So glad to see you here! Capper ladies represent! I <3 my capper followers. :D #
- 06:47 Another Friday, and the sad task of packing up peeps' things for the weekend. Don't forget the teddy bears, Mommy! Father's Day card in bag. #
- 10:11 Was nearly late to work because forgot to bring in juiceboxes for Hunter's preschool party. Sigh. #
- 16:45 It's payday *and* there was free Pepsi and pizza for lunch. In the immortal words of Ice Cube, "I gotta say it was a good day." #
June 18th, 2009
- 22:25 Reception went great! Some good ideas for improving next year's event and a tasty dinner. And overtime! I did miss the kids though. :( #
- 06:52 @WEIRD_1 Aw, thanks Dan! :) Cherry 2000 would be a *fantastic* movie to riff! Maybe next capfest. #
- 12:45 Much soap-related drama at work of late. Missing soap! Soap moved! Soap not refilled! Have we really nothing more important to worry about? #
June 17th, 2009
- 20:16 @jammer427 You know, I really *could* use a shoulder and neck rub right now. Sigh. Also, why do I still hear kids outside? It's after 8! #
- 06:01 Cried self to sleep last night. Today, eye puffiness worthy of a Krofft character. This loneliness shit? So not my bag, baby. #
- 06:47 @unrealfred Thanks! :) Luckily, found some under-eye concealer in one of my still-packed boxes so look less frightful. Big day at work. #
- 06:48 @PookyGreyhead (They did: Bravo) Sorry! We chicks dig gay dudes because they're kind of like girls. With cocks. Wait, I said that wrong. #
- 15:34 Very busy here so no tweeting time earlier. :( Just learned that I get paid to go to tonight's reception. Dinner *and* overtime? Fuck yeah! #
June 16th, 2009
- 19:28 At board meeting. Just gave talk on this week's Torah portion. Thinking about sex not most productive way to spend time, but it sure is fun. #
- 21:36 Sang along in car to Kanye West's "Stronger". You know how long I been on ya? Since Prince was on Apollonia! Don't act like I never told ya. #
- 05:51 Woke up with both kids in bed. Poor little peeps, they've had to put up with a lot of changes. But they should still stay in their own beds. #
- 13:35 Feeling headachy & ill after waiting too long for lunch. But I have a big rush project and it's to my advantage to be seen as a team player. #
June 15th, 2009
- 18:21 Children home, clamoring for food although their dad claims they ate dinner at his house. More boxes of my things dumped here. No room. #
- 06:54 @WEIRD_1 Ha! Not enough to go back to him, that's for sure. He's a great guy but we're a bit too different. He introduced me to Generik. #
- 07:01 @unrealfred If you like really, really bad movies I can recommend a few, like "Vegas In Space" (featuring an all-drag cast)-love it! #
- 08:45 Reeling from news that "Minotaur," well-known slash fan & writer, has died. He was so gracious to me when I fangirled him @ Escapade. R.I.P. #
- 10:03 Boss invited me to dinner reception Weds. Accepted, of course, but sad about losing time with kids. Boss not a mom, wouldn't understand. #
- 12:47 Lakers fans now completely insufferable. Police helicopter flew low over neighborhood last night, looking for fire & looting. I love L.A.! #
Today marks the fourth birthday and also the yahrzeit (death-anniversary) of my dear friend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
girllikething's daughter Mia. Mia was very important to me during her short life, and I will always cherish her memory.
Mia is now survived not only by her mother and father but also by her baby brother Jack. Her memory will always be a blessing to them, and to those of us who knew and loved her.

pensiveJune 14th, 2009
- 19:06 Off to temple event. Nothing like an outdoor service when it's freezing out and overcast! #
- 20:27 Bailed early. Fellow board member tried to get me to stay, teased me about having "a better offer," then his wife rushed over. Still got it! #
- 20:34 Fuckin' A I got a better offer...a big gin and tonic and a standing date with the boys of HCC. WHAT WHAT. #
- 09:53 Off to do some household shopping, then laundry. Kids due to be returned this evening. Feel like I'm walking a budgetary tightrope. Whee. #
- 09:56 Still, my life has vastly improved over what it was one year ago. I am the captain of my little ship, awaiting what lies over the horizon. #
- 10:35 Was approached in Wal-Mart parking lot by woman selling tamales. I love L.A.! #
- 13:21 Checking hair and outfit before leaving for laundry. Just because you're going to the laundromat doesn't mean you have to look a mess. #
- 13:39 Carry two full laundry hampers downstairs, across common area and sidewalk to car. Load car, realize you forgot dryer sheets. Curse loudly. #
- 15:03 Listening to a song that will always remind me of my first husband: "Touch of Grey" by the Grateful Dead. Sometimes wonder if he misses me. #
- 16:26 Home. Time to fold & put away laundry, have dinner and tidy up a bit before my little ones get home. Have really missed them this weekend. #
- 16:31 Cleaned twitter house a bit, blocked some obvious spammers. Afraid summer heat is beginning to catch up with us, ugh. And me with no fan. #
June 13th, 2009
- 22:09 @faeriebomb Me too. *sigh* Really missing the kids. Temple event tomorrow night, not even sure if I want to go without them. Not the same. #
- 11:11 Late start today. Errands, preschool fundraiser lunch, then temple event tonight. Would rather cap but they'll expect me to make appearance. #
- 11:43 In line at bank. Gee whiz, i just want a roll of quarters for laundry! Shouldn't there be an express line like at the grocery store? #
- 13:26 Fundraiser lunch in trendy gentrified shopping district. Food good, large portions. May actually come back. Sunday school principal here too #
- 15:26 At Sephora picking up lip-plumping gloss I mentioned yesterday. Don't laugh, boys-it's Bare Escentuals. Buxom Lips Vanessa, to be exact. Heh #
- 15:39 Cute boy pulls me into cell store but I'm not looking for retail romance. Girl sees me, grips her guy's arm & pulls him close. Still got it! #
June 12th, 2009
- 22:50 Deliver me from the arrogance of Laker fans who act as though winning was an entitlement, some divine right. "We won!" You on the payroll? #
- 05:31 I'd like to welcome my newest followers, especially @YoungBillyMays, who appears to be the only non-spammer and quotes Marcus Aurelius. Ooh. #
- 06:30 Packing up clothes and selected belongings of 2 small children each week no easy matter. Staying in empty apartment all weekend even worse. #
- 08:46 I don't need lip plumper but have come to love tingly feeling. Wonder if it would sting someone's lips when kissing. Will find out someday. #
- 15:05 Lyle Lovett's "Penguins" on radio. Saw him perform it live once. If you get a chance to see him, take it-his voice is amazing heard live. #
June 11th, 2009
- 07:04 Hmm. Haven't worn this dress for a while and somehow it seems shorter now. Weird. #
- 10:44 You cappers will dig this: WOXY Vintage playing "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe." Quick, someone make a Billy Mays cap! Ha. #
- 13:11 Listening to INXS. "No one else can do what you do." And don't you forget it! ;) #
