back to work

It was a fantastic long weekend - it really was! Hosted a good party on the deck on the fourth, and still eating leftovers from that. The party was really fun, with music ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Lady Gaga, and concluding the night with an intoxicated fellow kissing both me and TH lengthily on the mouth. TH was only slightly traumatized, and took it like a man. Since our teenagers witnessed this event, I predict it will be YEARS before the story stops being gleefully told!

Back to work, though...I am doing quite a bit of pavement pounding, since the plan is to pitch "Dark Angel" to several film opportunities the moment it is released. It is sounding amazing, and I'm hoping to get closer to finished in the recording studio tomorrow with the fabulous James Elvidge.
I have the video all planned out in my head, and it involves TH being roughly half naked. So far, he is agreeing to this! but I remember when I made the "Gods and Goddesses" book, and TH had to be Bacchus, with grape vines in his hair, lounging half naked in bed. I had to give him several glasses of wine, as I recall, before he could relax and stop giggling in embarrassment. The picture that ended up in the book is SMOKIN' hot, and is still getting hits on Google, naturally.

I,however, will NOT be half naked in the video. The only reason for that is that the song isn't really a nudity-type song. So few of mine are....

wonderful day!

My lover has taken the weekend off for the first time in months and MONTHS! It has been so lovely, I closed the blinds and kept quiet and he slept in till NINE, which is unheard of for him. He is usually at work by seven am.

We cooked bacon, and had a late breakfast, and then went grocery shopping for our party on the 4th. He couldn't keep his hands off me in the store, and I could actually SEE the light coming back to his eyes! He works way too hard.

Then, I took the kids to the Long Ear, which is a wonderful music store that also has great old rock n roll posters and other musician/hippie-related gifts. We got birthday presents for my son J2, who will be fifteen on Monday. That was really fun....now, we are hanging out and I'm going to make a cheesecake in a minute. Blueberry, I think.

weird

How come I can't see comments that people leave? I have the settings set to show comments, and I see by the emails that I have received several comments! But they don't show here. Anyone know?

on the rollercoaster

It's a really Down Day. I am not going to go into why, because honestly the "why" is not a huge deal. Its my retarded response to the "why" that is making me so down!

I have got to learned to navigate setbacks or failures without feeling so terrible and rejected, or I am in the WRONG BUSINESS, BABY.

Which I know I'm not.

I need a kick in the pants - and it looks like I'm going to have to give MYSELF one, somehow!

good news/bad news

The good news is, I don't really look my age.

The bad news is, I TOTALLY feel my age these days. I am pretty sure its the high blood pressure; I am on drugs for it now, which really helps, but the drugs themselves make me have no energy.

The good news is, I am probably not going to drop dead from a stroke or heart attack now, since I am on these drugs.

The bad news is, I have gained more than ten pounds since I started taking them, because its SO difficult for me to work out! Instead of feeling energized, which I always used to when I exercised, I now feel limp and exhausted after just a few minutes of working out! and if I push myself to continue, I start getting lightheaded and feeling like I'm going to faint. Its frustrating.

I am not really sure what to do. Obviously, its more important to have my blood pressure under control than to have my weight under control, but on the other hand, I know that being more fit would help my blood pressure ASIDE from the drugs. Its not like I'm fat or anything, either - but my muscles don't show anymore, which I really hate!

Yeah, I'm just whining....
