Sunday: Rochdale Rhymes and Readings
Another gig plug.
Sunday night, I'm featuring at RDRR, along with the guru behind the Toronto Poetry Slam himself, Dave Silverberg. There will also be an open mic.
Sunday, May 18, 2008, 8:00 p.m.
The Regal Beagle, 335 Bloor Street West (near St. George)
Cover: PWYC
Do not confuse the venue with the famed Three's Company pub of the same name. Jack, Janet, Chrissy, Cindy, Terri, Larry, the Ropers and Mr. Furley will not be there. Not even Jeffrey Tambor.
If you look hard enough, though, you might be able to score with hot chicks in '70s getup. I'm just sayin', is all.

I wouldn't direct Shakespeare like this, you fools.
Bill O'Reilly is only slightly less scary than the drunken lunatic who was trying to start fights on the subway last night.

Even I've never been that difficult and unprofessional. In spite of what my last employers will tell you.

I have no urgent desire to see Iron Man.
I would, however, rush to see any superhero movie that was called Irony Man. How about that? A hero who battles the bad guys through detached, sardonic remarks. That would be cool.
Ironing Man might also have possibilities. A superhero with a perfectly creased suit. Also a great catch as a husband, I would think.

No ticket.
In other news... the original trilogy is finally being re-released on DVD separately, with their own separate extras. Good news, as I just want to get Raiders of the Lost Ark, not all three movies. Temple of Doom kind of sucks (despite a great opening sequence and some good action bits); Last Crusade is fun but much more so when you ignore how much it follows the same formula as the original. Anyway, now I can finally get rid of my twenty-year-old Raiders VHS tape.
So far, I am not impressed with CouchSurfing. The only reply I've received was one blunt "already got somebody over then, sorry". I've verified my profile and I don't think there's anything creepy or dodgy about it. Guess I might as well go ahead and book hostels before they're all filled up (already went ahead and reserved one for London...).

In the dark in the mind such dark things do hide and boil.
Underneath the serene guise of a society do these things exist in us.
As pure as the dark their is just a pure a light within that would allow one to achieve
an altruistic end.

Sophie update
I forgot to post about this yesterday, but Sophie had a full-on seizure, right in the middle of everything that was happening with Harley. This was Saturday at 3:20 pm. She started off twitching a little, and then went into convulsions with her entire body involved.
I quickly hustled her into a box and started off toward the emergency vet. About 2 min into the trip she realized she was in a box (and got her wind back, most likely) and started complaining.
According to the emergency clinic doctor, seizures can happen as a result of insulin overdose and resulting low-low blood glucose. We are going to need to back off the insulin, and test her much more often than we have been doing. We're going to go from 3 units twice a day to just 1 unit, maybe 2, just in the morning. More testing will tell us if that's the right level.
Sophie is our oldest, and she so far just keeps going, like a tank.

Harley is gone
Miche already posted about this, but I wanted to post also, for anyone who is on my flist and not hers.
Harley died at about 5:40 today. It became clear to us that it was time to let him go. In addition to the pretty rampant cancer (stage 5 lymphoma) he was facing additional challenges, including leukemia (due to cancer, not viral), loss of liver function, not enough protein in the blood and resulting leakage of fluid into his abdomen, and finally pneumonia. Treatment for all of these would have been grueling and the prognosis still grim. I truly believe we made the right decision to try and fight it, but the aggressive chemo took its toll.
We spent about a half hour with him before doing the deed. He was clearly happy to see us and after a while, ended up going to sleep while we were petting him, and the doctor was able to give injections without startling him, so he just dozed off and a few moments later, was gone.

первая попытка нарисовать витраж.
 
оконное стекло 65-44см, витражные краски Nerchau , акриловые контуры Decola
краски ведут себя крайне не предсказуемо и как оказалось на просвет выглядят совсем погано. Да ещё и цвет меняют конкретно и тон.Или я что-то не то делаю с ними, как-то не так накладываю, но результат странный.

Robotinthewings
In the nature of machine and man is a comparable existence of nature.
Parts we are both and construction of manifest energy.
Beings.
So we question what is natural, and what is living.
I wonder if we have ever been looked at and it has been questioned.
What are we to this or that and what is our value.
To us we have certainly questioned and will question.
It's in our nature it's in our being.
We live and we question.
That maybe be the nature of the robot in the wings.
The robot does not fly with wings among the other nature, and yet it is still nature.
A feather falls in the forest and the connection is known.

on mother's day
in this life, replete with memory and forgetting --
where mothers bear our born, lost dreams
then redeem them with meaning;
where mothers hold our world's remembering
when our collective synapses cannot connect;
where mothers keep our moments safe
while tides from Lethe lap all else away --
come to me, loves of mine, with your secrets and sins.
i will take them home and forgive them in the arms of family,
where we laugh in the face of catastrophe,
where blood ribbons through tragedy.

5 Good Things.
1. I found my 1000 Vegetarian Recipes cookbook in the trunk of my car (along with many, many other items...we won't go into that, though). I am excited to tackle some more of those recipes that I thought I'd lost forever. On the chopping block (har de har har) this week is something along the lines of Spicy Cheesy Mushroom Barley. Mmm.
2. The truly excellent gas mileage my new car gets.
3. I am getting a much-needed hair cut and eyebrow wax on Friday morning. It'll be nice to get pampered a bit, even if it's in a strictly necessary sort of way.
4. ER Season 5. I am looking forward to delving into Season 7, too (even though that's where Dr. Greene's brain tumor-y stuff starts happening--eek!).
5. GRR is slowly moving little things into my apartment, making me simultaneously super-excited and gooey with lovey-nesty sorts of feelings. Also, last night on the ride back to Madison, it was referred to as "When we get home." Hee. :D

Happy Mother's Day, Mother! :)
________________
On a related note, Mike sent me this today:
"Happy mother's day, Heather! I'm incredibly proud of you for raising Monkey all by yourself in this cold, cruel world. Sure, he could be out on the streets selling smack or hanging with roving gangs of guinea pigs, but nope, he's at home trying to make something of himself. Bravo, Heather, bravo."
I responded with, "Why thank you, Mike. You know, good mothers like me rarely get such high accolades. Monkey himself thanked me for putting food in his belly by pissing on me this morning. I love my son, I love my son, I love my son..."
