Guess what? I'm moving to California. In 10 days. And I'll be in Vermont next week for a few days (tues-fri). Anyone want to meet me in Burlington for a farewell drink early-ish Thursday evening? | | Sunday, February 10th, 2008 | | 9:38 am |
accchhhh!!! life changes
I forgot about Live Journal for a while there. So, I'm in the midst of planning a move to California. I've sent the application for PT licensure, submitted a formal letter of resignation to the hospital here, and contacted companies to help me find work there. A few days after setting these plans in motion I cracked open a fortune cookie to read "your present plans are going to succeed". That's right! Change is good. | | Wednesday, September 12th, 2007 | | 8:13 pm |
wowza
I'm moving back to Providence, and in with my friend Tink. I'm too secluded out here in the crountry (intentionally mispelled mes amis). Moving date is Sept. 21, and I'm going through this shit with a hypercritical eye. Hello Salvation Army, good bye ugly #1Florida Jesus shell sculpture (Sorry Nason but the kitsch factor wore off and I'm left with just the bad taste in my mouth). Anyhoo, my phone will be the same, just the address is changing... I'll get that to y'all later. Hope summer is "totally bangin" for everyone.... | | Thursday, March 29th, 2007 | | 5:14 pm |
aaaaahhhh
No hammering today. I stayed home sick one more day, my co-workers would've sent me home if I'd tried to work anyhow. Without the stranger at the window I was able to have first breakast (a bowl of organic ancient grains flakes with soymilk and dried cranberries, and a cup of coffee) second breakfast (whole wheat toast with butter) and lunch 2 1/2 hours later (leftover shrimp & grits with fried eggs and a little bit of parsley-cilantro-smoked almond pesto) all in blessed peace. I'm seriously feeding this cold. Back to work tomorrow, or else I'll turn into a fat little hobbit. | | Wednesday, March 28th, 2007 | | 6:51 pm |
stranger at the window
I live on the top floor of an old semi-run-down building. The windowsills are rotted away, there are no grounded outlets (everything is 2 prong) and i didn't know they still made fuses like this (big glass knobs). The landlord is fixing things up. He's hired someone to redo the wood molding that covers the top part of the building (my part) including windowsills and the gutters and trim, all that jazz. The guy was outside my kitchen window all morning, hammering away, as he was yesterday and the day before. A few weeks ago he was outside the bathroom window. At 7:45 am. I couldn't use the toilet for fear he'd hear me! But at least the bathroom has blinds. The kitchen has no curtains, and I'm not sure if or how I should acknowledge his presence. So we're pretending to ignore each other, and I'm eating breakfast in the living room. I'm sick today and home from work, made myself breakfast in a purple robe and Don King hairdo. Should I offer him toast and tea? Compliment the woodwork? Should I wave and say hi, can I do that now after three days of awkward ignoring?

getting crafty
I made this gym bag for dance class, from drapes a friend gave me, tassles and all. Much classier than a 7 year old LL bean back-pack!  | | Sunday, February 25th, 2007 | | 8:36 am |
coming to vt
ok, i was going to come to vt this weekend or next weekend, but it looks like March 3rd is it. and since i hurt my ankle AGAIN, it never really healed, this is a good time to take a break from dance classes and rehearsals. so see y'all soon. alert the media. or not, whatever. | | Thursday, December 14th, 2006 | | 7:37 pm |
x-mas time
Aaahhh, lovely x-mas time. i will be in the b-town for a few days around that time, and will be calling to pester people. let's have drinks! and games! | | Monday, November 13th, 2006 | | 7:25 pm |
is it okay to buy it if you want it but don't need it?
I'm fighting the urge to drive to Providence this very moment and buy a mac notebook. My computer is not capable of the artistic endeavors I have in mind. Actually, it doesn't even have a supported operating system. But it's so... American and materialistic to want want want, buy buy buy. So I'm trying to hold off in the hopes I make a good decision that way. But actually what I'm doing is putting off the decision I've already decided on. Hah! | | Friday, September 15th, 2006 | | 5:13 pm |
all that's been happening
I have not posted lately either! It 's been a whopper of a month... I performed again, and hopefully have another performance on the 27th of this month, so there's been a lot of dancing. And at work I'm orienting and training students every day. We have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students, which has never happened before at this hospital. I worked there as a student, but I was the only one. We're still understaffed and there's a lot to do, so hopefully, I didn't scare them! They all seem like they're coping okay with the nutsiness. One of my patients whom I adore (he's 71 and we call him Captain) said to me yesterday evening..." Kat, you're crazy like me" as he pointed to his head with a shaky finger. What could I say, but yup, I think you're right. And I'm taking that as a compliment. Part of me, however, is worried he's having a prescient moment. What if I have a psychotic break in a few years or something? Oh well, let it be documented now. Then I'll know he's psychic. How Jungian. Judy's birthday just passed as well, and her sister has been in contact with me, so it's bringing up some painful stuff, I still miss her. Earlier this month I visited my sister and brother in law in Jacksonville, FL, and that was AWESOME! We played in the warm ocean, trying to body surf, and had a bbq with their friends and neighbors, and went to Savannnah Georgia and found the best milkshakes ever at an ice cream shop owned by an executive producer of big hollywood movies, who just happened to be in the shop that weekend, so we schmoozed a little with him (ok, Corey did, we have friends who make movies, smaller ones, but cool ones.) And on like that. Lot's of exciting stuff! I'm hoping to make it to VT at the end of the month... when I will try to do a dinner again, but more organized and with more notice. | | Saturday, September 9th, 2006 | | 11:42 am |
Huh?

That's all? What else AM I then, huh? | | Sunday, August 27th, 2006 | | 6:42 pm |
yesterday and today
Hey y'all, thanks Erina, Rachel and Em for hanging out yesterday. Sorry I was a lame-ass in the evening (and pre-occupied during the day.) I get very stressed sometimes when I'm in Vermont, between feeling strained and guilty at my parents, and not seeing enough of you (my friends) and then worrying about getting back to RI in time for class. It took 3 hours of sweaty drumming and dancing to shake that bad & tired mood off. I learned two rhythms today, AND I played the rhythm with two sticks this time. I'm a little slow at first, but I catch on! | | Monday, August 21st, 2006 | | 5:44 pm |

what i've been doing
I was in a performance this evening, West African Dance and Drumming (rhythms from Mali) for a Celebrate Providence series of events. It was a last minute thing for us dancers, and we managed to choreograph two dances (Sunu and Wasalinka) and know them well enough (just barely) in 3 & 1/2 days. And I was working at the hospital on all those days to boot. Anyhow, I was very excited, and am still excited. Issa, the drummer who's project this is, asked a few or us to dance for this, and he wants us to dance for other performances. I asked if he'll teach me dun-dun (a double drum played with a stick), rather than the usual djembe if I come to the drum class he teaches. He replied "of course". So the performance was outside at a park in Providence. There were families there, and free barbecue and a big stage all set up with a projector for films to be shown later, it was a nice setup. Next time hopefully I've have enough notice to invite my friends. I've been leaving work early all week, driving 30 miles to Providence, dancing for hours, driving back, practicing more, not sleeping enough, waking up sore, practicing more, and doing it all over. But it was worth it... Aaaahhh, it's a good feeling to have accomplished a goal. I performed in front of an audience and had a good time! | | Thursday, June 29th, 2006 | | 5:04 pm |
summertime
Hello hello hello out there. I'm not housesitting after all, so I'm retracting all invitations. Well, I mean, you can come out to Pascoag, but it's far from everything and terribly boring. My friend decided to stay because a family member is very sick. She had told me all along she might change her mind at the last minute, so it's no surprise to me, and no big deal. Have a great 4th everybody everybody! | | Wednesday, June 21st, 2006 | | 7:44 pm |
Friday
'Allo little chicklets! I'm getting in early enough Friday (oh, by 7:00 I hope) to have some fun! Who wants to go out??? Maybe a little dinner and cocktails downtown? | | Sunday, June 18th, 2006 | | 7:55 pm |
next weekend
Hola chica's and chico's. I'm haulin' my arse to Vermont next weekend. Ummmm.. until this past thursday evening I thought Father's Day was next weekend...yeah. oops. So, will y'all be around? Will we be bbqing? | | Thursday, June 8th, 2006 | | 6:42 pm |
the scoop
Ok, for those of you who didn't catch the debacle... It was the night Rachel, Erina and I went to the cabaret. I'd had weird blood sugar issues all day, especially during the long drive from RI to VT, so I had fair warning, but that didn't help in the end. After the cabaret I was hungry, but instead of eating went to Pearl's (where they let me in for free. was it the strange outfit?) and drank more. Now, in my defense, I didn't drink THAT much, I think 5 drinks over the whole evening and both places, about 5 hours. But I went outside at Pearl's in my crazy dress and ridiculous high heels and when I came back in, the door hit me and I stumbled even more than I had been. The 2 cute queer boys at the door looked at each other, "We can't serve you any more alcohol" one said. "You're right", I replied, "I'm drunk and I'm not driving" which I emphasized with an index finger, " and look at these shoes!" The boys agreed that my shoes looked hard to walk in. "ummmm" he said "I don't think we can let you back in". To which I said nothing but stood there looking dazed for a moment. Then I said, "I don't live here." They offered to find someone for me? I asked them to find Emiry, of course they knew him. So Emiry saved my ass and we walked to the "Krunchy Kunt" as I like to call it. But first I put sneakers on, which went great with my strapless black and pink dress and thigh high striped socks.He bought me a rise and shiner, which was delightful and we went back to his place. Derek said he'd never seen me that drunk. Oooops. We all get a moment now and again. I'm even a little glad my Pearl's experience went out with a bang. They were lucky I was an amiable drunk ;) | | Sunday, June 4th, 2006 | | 6:34 pm |
Missing you all
Hey Vermont people. I'm missing you all, and sad I missed the last Pearl's Hurrah. But I guess I had my own last Pearl's Hurrah a couple weeks ago. Jeez, that's a first, and unfortunately a last, getting kicked out of Pearl's, albeit very nicely. I'm going to visit a friend in California next weekend. But I'm planning to come to Vermont later in June, and I'm dying to see y'all. And have that afternoon bbq!!! Current Mood: sore! | | Thursday, May 25th, 2006 | | 7:06 pm |
x-men
X-men opens tomorrow! I had a movie date, with a friend I haven't seen in a year and a half, though we live in the same small state. But he's scheduled for last minute surgery, because he's sneezing too much and popped something! How crazy is that? And now it's a 3 day weekend coming up, all I want is a movie date and for someone to invite me to a memorial day barbecue. And I want it bad. Craving social contact... I'd consider having one myself and inviting people, but I have neither a yard, nor a grill. Hmmmmm. Should I post flyers at work? "Invite me to your house, please?" |
