Ok, let's do this.
Wow, so much to recap...I'm gonna go backwards, and maybe even break it up into a couple entries. It's been a wild ride the last week for sure!
Today---I had kind of a crappy day at work. I was unmotivated and sleepy (more on that later) and then I got taken by surprise with a whole lot of dishes. Bleah. The highlight was definitely the strawberry mango granola I made right before I left. Delish.
Part of the sleepiness came from waking up at 2am in order to get on the computer to listen to Roxie on a different radio station. He's now doing a Thursday morning Hollywood Hookup rock report at Rockklassiker, which is the station where he got to hang out with the drummer and singer from Europe last week. Remember? Anyway, last week he put out a call for some rock gossip, and I did my part by forwarding him a link to a page about rockstar:supernova. Specifically all the trials and tribulations and conspiracy theories. So what do I hear when I finally manage to tune in to this superfast feed that is almost entirely in Swedish? Roxie called Gilby Clarke on air to get the scoop. Ha! Of course, Gilby is a professional and did not dish, but he also didn't manage to convince me that he is all about Lukas. His only comment was about Lukas's HAIR. Hmm. Roxie was super funny and the wacky Swedish morning DJs are a real trip. Also, Roxie used the word "vacillate" correctly in a sentence. At 8am. And you wonder why he's my favorite rock star? Well, besides the Willie Wonka, and the porn.
He sent me an email thanking me for providing him with job security. I guess the Swedes were so impressed that he could call an ex member of Guns and Roses that they have invited him back for the next few weeks. Wonder how many other rock stars he has on speed dial?
Ok...Wednesday. I hauled the computer in to work and paid my $4.95 fee and listened to Roxie on the Rocket while I roasted some green chiles for chile rellenos casserole. It was a good show...didn't get my Hanoi Rocks but he did play "Shake Rattle and Roll" by Bill Haley which my internet friend Michelle decided was for me since it talks about rattling the pots and pans. Hee. He also played a song by a group called the Pipettes out of the UK which was really great. I'm gonna look them up. After the show I did some various prep, a bunch of dishes, and made what I think is a super delicious vegan Mulligatawny soup. When I got home I ended up eating a whole lot of weird foods (well, separately they weren't weird at all, but combined they turned into a bubbling cauldron in my tummy) and made myself sort of sick. I went to bed around 9:30pm so I could wake up in the middle of the night for Roxie.
I'm slavishly devoted, no?
Tuesday...it was Halloween! I really didn't acknowledge it at all other than writing "boo!" on everything I labeled in the kitchen and making a spooky breakfast special that no one ordered. Oh well. After work I came home and changed clothes and then rebby and I went to the Harris Grill for beers and dinner. Only, the Harris Grill was being Mad Mex for Halloween. Seriously! It was kinda funny, and they did a great job(I guess the guys who own the place all used to work at Mad Mex) We still got our Magic Hat #9 drafts, but the menu was all mex-i-fied so instead of a juicy burger I got a steak burrito. It was okay. After dinner we stopped at rebby's place to get a camp pad for the back of the truck so I could ride back there when we picked up Leah to go see SHORTBUS! Yes, we did. I could not even begin to tell you how fantastic this movie was for me. I don't think it would be fantastic for everyone, but for a sentimental queer freak like me, it was beautiful. Justin Bond sings this amazing celebratory song at the end and I was just bawling like a baby. Sooooo good. I can't wait to see it again.
I think that's good for this one. Next one will have my revelatory food day and my kick ass work night and the WEDDING. I gotta take a break.
