Happy fuckin' Friday. I'm going to a Roller Derby party.

[swag]

I hope it's fun. I only know a couple of the champion Heartless Heathers, but a lot of my friends from the bleachers are coming too. Can't wait to see the replay of the thrilling championship bout. If you're in Portland, OR, get your ass down to Ohm.

[swag]

1. It was fun. But now it's Saturday, and tonight,

in the immortal words of Q Tip, we gettin' off like OJ.

2. Nice

[swag]

3. I think

we'll cap it off with a long worship service at the Church of the Bloody Mary tomorrow. Chantal is in town from SF and she loves to be feted.

5. Sounds like a party

[swag]

6. I think this song is parallel to Devo's "Whip It" in many ways:

12. I don't really know how I feel about that

[swag]

13. Don't like it, huh?

Think of it, if you will, this way:

"Work it Out" is to "Whip It"

as

"Office Space" is to "Fight Club."

[GirlinContempt]

16. It's not that i don't like it

I'm undecided. Jury's still out

[swag]

17. Fair enough. Let the juries be out forever.

4. My Friday was spent drinking green tea and reading Vice magazine's "Dos and Don'ts"

Today will be spent working on a paper. Tonight will likely be spent watching copious amounts of The X-Files.

[swag]

7. Do you like writing papers?

I always enjoyed it, even though in my day, some of us went through several paper drafts on our dorm room typewriters.

Staying up for days, smoking cigarettes, drinking University Center (UC) coffee, writing papers.

Draft after draft.

On edit: What a fogey.

15. Depends on the subject and how much procrastination goes into it.

If I procrastinate too much (which I usually do) it sucks. When I'm not stressed about getting it in on time, it's usually enjoyable, especially if I like the topic.

8. you social calendar is quite interesting!

I just found out a woman I know belongs to a riotgirl style roller derby league.


Me

Friday: school potluck dinner at my kid' progressive school (amazing variety of foods), and book sale. My arm is sore from writing book sales slips.

Saturday: Renaissance and Baroque Concert - Piffaro. My favorite R and B ensemble. I love schaums!

Sunday? Watch the men yell at the Steelers and hang their heads in desperation.

[swag]

9. That sounds like a wonderful concert.

Will investigate Piffaro.

I went to Portland Baroque Orchestra some days back. If you ever visit out here, maybe there will be a concert at this pretty downtown church that we could all go to.

10. there is supposed to be a wonderful rose garden there, too

my sister told me about it after she was there for a conference a few years back.


I haven't been to the NW in a while... hope to get out that way sometime in the future!

Piffaro is wonderful. We have seen them 4 or 5 times now. Anonymous 4 is also great, another holiday favorite.

11. Did Vominatrix live up to her name?

I would've stayed away from her.

[swag]

14. She hasn't made me puke yet,

though I did have a slight hangover this morning.

She sold me a very offensive photograph a couple months back.
