Dangit!

I completely forgot to do some sort of pre-vacation post. Hmm... well, the trip is turning out amazingly similar to it predecessor so let's just revisit this post and call it good for this Vegas trip as well. 

Multiple photos to follow....

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Oh, yes! Last night myself and the GTGs dressed up in our Coruscantian finest and hit a very fun Star Wars themed birthday party.

 We all had to come up with our Star Wars names.

 My last minute costume pulled entirely from my War garb.

 Edible Millennium Falcon...

 Rebro Dechu, the birthday Jedi.

 What a rebel!

These are not the girls you're looking for....

I went for a sort of Padme inspired vibe. Even though the makeup came off a little too clownish for my taste, I was still  rather fond of my outfit- and it finally gave me a chance to wear my new moresca gown.

 

And the headdress I make earlier this year.

Plus an extra 2 lbs of fake hair!

Middle of the Week Stuff

I've come to realize my posts can be almost evenly split into two categories. The Vintage Escapades and The Humdrum Bitching. This is going to be one of the latter. Only not too much bitching I promise.

It's been actually a very good week. I finally-finally received my ID from the pit of hell DVM. Only 7 months late but what can ya do? Just in time for me to put it to good use at BLAH for their monday showing of the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense. It was such a blast- between the Julian hard cider, friends dancing in the aisle, games of Polynesian poker and the cute bartender I was too shy to talk to. (Ok, side note- what is with me and bartenders? I can go back and pick out at least a dozen posts where I'm fawning over a sexy drink server. Odd) Anyway, a great time but sadly no photos as yet to accompany. CJ had the camera that night and likes to keep them for herself.

Ok, on to a little bit of bitching. Somehow, with all my glorious brain capacity- I've forgotten my password to the FL and have thusly been barred out for weeks now. It's terrible. I cannot for the life of me remember and I started it so long ago, it's linked to a now defunct email address so I can't even reset my password. Damn!

Oh, Richard! If you happen to read this, I'm sorry I never wrote you back! I swear, I haven't been  trying to ignore you, dear.

Terrible technology, ruining friendships and making me angry.

And onto my last bit of non-vintage news, my dear good friend Miss Eka is leaving. We're losing her to Portland and the great wild northwest and I'm not too pleased about it! So, I thought I'd go back and relive some of the hightlite of our friendship, blogger style.

Stupid Portland, they have all the beards and now they're taking my friends!

Southern Fried Summer

Well, now it's been some time since I've posted. I guess that's because not all that much has been happening due to the disgusting heat. Blegh! But today, the girls and I went to the Golden Hill Farmers market to visit Miss Eka at her new job with Southern Fired Vegan BBQ. (I know, it confuses me too)

 It was balls hot but I came prepared with linen and parasol. The girls ate fake chicken and cheese steak sandwiches, we drank tasty cran/mint lemonade from the Alchemy booth and photoed cute hipster dogs. And of course, I oggled the new peanut butter guy. That company must only hire gorgeous men. Anyhoo, after the market ended we walked down to the park and sat around on CJ's beach towel and talked religious and took pictures of bees.

 Then, we had a little stop off at Blind Lady Ale House for some midday cider. I can't much get into heavy beer drinking during the summer but Julian Hard Cider? All day!

 

This is a bad month already.
I found out last night that a friend passed away after surgery complications. Today, I was told my great uncle asked to be taken off life support. In both cases, it's something of a blessing I guess. They were sick and now they are out of that pain.

I'm finding that the hardest part about being an atheist is having no one to rail against and no one to say to "Stop taking people from me."
