my cat Mischa. He's the absolute best part of coming
home. At the risk of sounding like a crazy cat lady,
my cat is genuinely amazing.
seriously.
Mischa rocks.

Dance This Mess Around

I have been busy busy busy...as you know, my cat has been ill (although he seems to be feeling quite a bit better, he still seems to be suffering from a severe bout of ennui...can cats have an existential crisis?). I've also been working on a few new pieces, finishing up a commission and dancing my ass off at the True Colors concert. How in the world could I pass up a night of Joan Jett, The B-52's and my childhood idol, Cindy Lauper (especially when the ticket was free...an early birthday present)?

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts kicked some serious ass (and oh-yes, she did indeed play "do you wanna touch me"...)...

I couldn't help but hippy-hippy-forward-hippy-hippy-hippy-hippy-hippy-shake to The B-52's which caused some serious flashbacks of high school...

And, much to my delight, Cindy Lauper, whose banter with the audience was hilarious and endearingly A.D.D., played my favorite "When You Were Mine" along with a lovely version of the perennial favorite "Time After Time."
Of course the past week was filled with its share of blech, blurgh, gack and arghs, but I'm keeping it on a positive note today.

Good Thoughts & Useless Trivia

I'll start today's post by requesting that everyone send warm and happy get-well-soon thoughts to my super-sweet cat Mischa (that's him in the photo). He's not feeling so hot right now so any positive energy that could be sent his way would be greatly appreciated...and how could anyone not send good energy to such a cutie-patootie.

Now that the most important issue has been addressed we can move on to much more trivial bits:


Little Known Odd & Completely Random Fact of the Day:
Alice Cooper and Mickey Dolenz (yes, Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees) used to be golfing buddies.

want some more useless information?
well then you're in luck!

things I'm loving right now:
1) my awesome new haircut...LOVE IT!
2) the smell of violets, jasmine and gardenias
3) the anticipation of the new X-Files movie
4) knowing that a tax rebate check means a new camera

things i'm loathing right now:
1) the fact that pharmaceutical companies don't make oral antibiotics for pets in an easy to administer cream/gel form (just try giving a cat pills or liquid antibiotics and you'll understand my supreme irritation).
2) gas prices
3) the anticipation of the new X-Files movie
4) waiting for the tax rebate check
