6:51 pm - Viney goodness
|
So I might be looking for the impossible.
I want:
* a fast-growing plant that will grow to cover a wall that's about 20' tall. This seems to indicate to me a vine.
* this plant can't damage the wall, so no plants with sucker feet (I'm not sure what the technical term is...)
* this plant can't be poisonous, since there will be children in the yard in which the plant is growing
* something suited to our climate
* something that will grow on a west-facing wall (I need to check whether the sun is full on that wall or if its not)
* something that will keep its leaves throughout the year, so an evergreen or near-evergreen sort of thing
Anyone? Bueller...?

I may be going to see these amazing dancers while I'm in NY:

I saw their sister company, MOMIX, when I was in NY and was blown away by them.
If you check out that link, make sure to look at the NFL commercial they did. Just fantastic!

11:45 pm - so...
|
I have to clear something up.
My new hand mate and I would like to start discussions on fluid bonding. To be able to do so, we need to understand where we are with our current STD status (I give blood every few months but that doesn't cover herpes or HPV; my last complete panel was October of last year, which isn't recent enough for such a significant decision). He and I have done every available test except herpes, which was looking pricey.
That's why I asked for a recommendation for a place that was cheaper but still provided enough detail so that we can be informed when we start talking.
That is ALL.
*goes off giggling about the conclusion fences that can apparently be jumped with ease by those who only have part of the picture*

6:00 pm - Herpes tests
|
I am in the last stages of gathering information to have a fluid-bonding conversation. I have taken all but the herpes test.
I want to get this done soon and am turning to my friends for advice. Do any of you have recommendations of places for herpes testing that are cheap *and* break down the test into type 1 and type 2? I found a place on-line that will do the IgG test (not sure if that capitalization is correct) for $80. This seems like, comparatively, a good price.
Discuss. (Due to the sensitive nature of STDs, comments are screened; if I ask you for more info, I will do it via e-mail so as not to reveal your comments to the world. Well, the world of my LJ readership at any rate.)

5:55 pm - Poly first Wednesday?
|
So Joe and I were going to go to dinner tonight (first Wednesday) but he's working late. If I take the car, he doesn't have a way to get there. If I wait for him, we both get there late...
Anyone want to come get me to take me to Central Market tonight...?
*sigh*

4:28 pm - What's Coming Next
|
I had never been a person who wondered much about "what comes next". (I'm not talking specifically about death, I'm talking about life, although I hadn't really spent any time thinking about death, either.)
I was very happy in the now. I planned for the future but figured I would find out what was coming by experiencing it.
Then, when I was with Michael, I began to think about what the hell was coming up next. What new thing was I going to have to deal with. I didn't do this often (I think you have to grow up thinking that way for it to stick to you all the time) but I did it often enough that I was aware of it when it happened, and was unhappy with that frame of mind.
Now, I've discovered that I still sometimes think about what happens next, but mostly now I wonder what splendid thing will happen next. Sometimes I still worry about what happens next, but for the most part I look forward to it instead of dread it.
I want to go forward to a state of being in the present, planning for the future when I need to, without trying to fruitlessly perceive the future. Yes, I would like that. But I'm certainly glad that I've started being mostly happy when I look to the future instead of worrying.

4:41 pm - Video "Buttons"
|
So it's possible that everyone in the world has already seen this video and is possibly OD'd on this song, but I just found the video and like the song (although it is, admittedly, very repetitive!)
I find the girls in this video hot. There are even some who JIGGLE WHEN THEY WALK! Shocking, I know.

Hi, lovely LJ folks,
Is there anyone amongst my friends who would like to give my lower back a deep tissue massage? I have these huge knots in my back that just won't give up and they have really started affecting my quality of life.
*sigh* Reduced to begging for back rubs from my friends. *lame*
I have a massage table, at least, so your own back shouldn't be ouchy when you're done!
*hugs*

8:48 pm - Sick laptop
|
My little laptop seems to have gone belly up for a bit. The superlative errantember has it and will, I hope, inject the magic smoke back into it to make it work right.
I think that something is wrong with the screen but I'm not sure. I'm hoping he can tell me what they deal is... It works when hooked up to an external monitor, for those who care.
*sigh*
The upshot of all this is that I'm using Joe's trusty old ThinkPad. It's a boat anchor and, yes, the dinosaurs upgraded from it, but it WORKS. Woo!

4:16 pm - Purple shoes!
|
My birthday was really lovely. There's nothing like having a BUNCH of your friends sing happy birthday to you in a public venue, making such a joyful noise that other people turn around to see what the deal is!
On my birthday, Mom took me to lunch at Sampaio and it was so delicious! We got the coconut dessert (Gloria, we really need to try this; it was like tiramisu and coconut cream pie had a love child...) She gave me this really cute short nightgown with cats on it.
On Thursday, I got tuberoses and green foldy stuff from my dad (sweet and useful!) He also took me to lunch and we got to hang out.
In the evening, I got a necklace from Catherine, Dan and Julia's daughter, that was really pretty!
This morning, I got purple shoes from Julia! http://www.target.com/Womens-Xhilaration-Susan-Pumps-Plum/dp/B0017KB38K/sr=1-2/qid=1244238798/ref=sr_1_2/178-1430249-2274520?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Apurple%20shoes&page=1 Woo!
Christine had gotten me a gift certificate from Paula's Choice, the place where I buy my face care products, and I got the stuff in the mail. It was very thoughtful of her!
I think I might buy myself this: http://cgi.ebay.com/dvbny-sterling-silver-St-Francis-Prayer-Mobius-bracelet_W0QQitemZ270397817828QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ef4f743e4&_trksid=p4634.m332.l1262 I've been wanting it since I saw it in the Pyramid Collection catalog but just haven't gotten it for myself yet.
I think Sir may have more plans for Saturday...
*happy happy happy!*
