Halloween Carnivale!!!!

In just 2 more days, It'll be Halloween and I will be down in WEHO (West Hollywood) for the huge Halloween Carnivale!!!!

This year, I am dressing up as a classic Scarecrow with a huge Evil Pumpkinhead! I even have glowsticks insisde the head so it'll glow! Morty is joining me as a fellow Pumpkinhead scraecrow...only his scarecrow is wearing an old patched suit..he dressed for the occasion. Sheldon is going with his camera in hand and may dress as the dead crocodile hunter.

This carnivale is so huge and so much fun! I so look forward to it every year!!!!

Of course I will be posting pictures after the event!

First stop is the Abbey to down some drinks and get a nice buzz going! Then its mingling with 500,000 people. Some dancing, food...Fabulous!!

The Scissor Sisters!

A year ago in the plane while coming home from Australia, I saw this long interview with these guys...who are all gay but the girl... the singer, well he's totally hot...so I've been hearing this song on Sirius satelitte radio for weeks now and totally loved it (I' Don't Feel Like Dancing) so I hooked up my ipod last night and downloaded everything they've done and available :)

Click on the link for the video...I think they are the most original group to come out in a long time. Music has been so dull lately. These guys are Alernative Rock but walk on a disco edge with a Bee-Gee influence. Check it out and post what ya think!

Bestest Sister to the rescue!!!!

Thank you very much, my darling sister, for your advice on my new trees/plants! They look more perky and I think they are going to be okay!

For everyone else, here is the brief story: I bought 3 indoor trees for my place (pictures of my place will come soon as soon as I finish adding some more touches...) and they started to look all sad after a few days and their leaves started to fall off.

Describing the symptoms to my fabulous sister, she told me I was watering them too much and that their roots were going to rot. I promptly followed her advice and took then out of the ceramic pots and dumped the excess water. I left them outside for a few days to dry them out and then brought them back inside. *poof* they are happy now :)

Thank you Patty-Boomalatty!

DDial, a blast from the past!

So I was cleaning out my closet when I was redoing my place and found an old disckette. I threw it on my computer desk to check it out later.

Finally, I took a peak and *Woooosh!* was instantly transported back in time circa 1992!

I was my old user log from when I was Co-SysOp on the Ddial "The Active Imagination".

What a blast it was reading through all of the accounts and names.

All the old get togethers in Pennypack Park, Franklin Mills Mall and downtown Philly.

Sigh.

What a richly diverse group of people! from just hanging out, to late night diner hopping. Man, there were some great times there.

So long ago...although I wouldn't entertain some people or situations now, that time period in my life is fondly remembered as a blast.

Through all of the people I met during "the ddial years" all have come and gone except for one. My Barby. Although we are 3 thousand miles from each other and our lives have gone different directions, its a nice feeling to know she is there and always will be.

So cheers *raises glass* here's to Helen's bonefires, smoking pot in the park (her kids almost catching her haha), water gun fights, hanging with Dani and that creepy Wiccan guy with the nuns at Denny's, the weird fun times at John's house with Dave and Chuck (RIP), New Hope with Catherine, Barb's basement, Honey's pan cokies, the river spot and Mark.

Life...what a cool thing.

The way the rain falls down hard...

...that's the way I feel inside.

Catchin' up!

Last weeks mixer went well. It was a lot of fun and I met some nice people!

On Saturday, Walter, Morty and me went mad at Macys and did a lot of cool shopping. I got some really nice clothes (gotta have nice clothes!) and then it was on to Bloomingdale's for a nice runner for my dining room table with matching placemats and napkins! Everything Mrs. Bucket needs for a candlelight supper! :)

I also found a really cool painting online that I ordered to put on my living room wall above the couch. It's full of greens, browns and golden yellows...perfect for the room! It's of a man sleeping with a aiiry floating above him. I totally love it! I can't wait until it gets here. Actually, let me attach a pic of it...
