Saint Genevieve

Also:I have a little crush on bjorn_skurj.

 

I do too.

sorry, the snake that left a message for me didn't say his name, so i assumed it was odin.

Nope, Odin is still around. And hungry.

I just conducted a fairly intensive search for the missing Juan Carlos, and came up empty.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups by the bagful are on sale at CVS.

Halloween is a good time of year.

I was thinking of buying some of those candy-corn pumpkins...

you got bombed with "rapsnacks"?

Yeah, they say "Bar-b-queing with my honey" on them.

My friends in Portland fuckin' rock.

So do you think it'd be rude to show this cartoon to Sam Beam's wife?

I went into labour shortly before 1:00 on Monday morning and left for the hospital around 8:30 am. Fortunately, I was able to have a natural birth, as I'd hoped (with a little "laughing gas" to take the edge off the contractions during transition - hey, I'm no martyr!). Hannah was born at 1:36 that afternoon. Hiring a doula was definitely a smart move and Doug was also amazingly supportive in the delivery room despite having spent the last week and a half working on the house with little or no sleep each night.

I'm really glad everything went so well.

I somehow suspect Hannah is going to be a huge Neil Young fan. I have no idea what makes me think that, though.

Thanks, guys. The midwives said I "could probably work with them," but they want to talk about it amongst themselves more before they make a final decision. So keep the vibes coming...

As some of you might know, I quit my midwifery apprenticeship here in Austin. At 11:30 today, I'm interviewing for another apprenticeship - this is my second interview with these midwives, which is a good sign, but a good dose of those ol' VC vibes would still really hit the spot right now.

Thanks, kids.

AAHHH!!!

She's beautiful! How did everything go?

On a separate note: If you could be a plant, and you knew that the music you were exposed to directly affected your health and well-being, what kind of plant would you be, and what kind of music would you want your caretaker to play?

I would be one of those plants that only blooms every 100 years, and I would listen to the Kinks.

Whoa whoa, when did A-man pass the 20,000-post mark?

Put it on your christmas list guys.

Post of the day.

I needed a box to keep all my new perfume samples in, so I bought a plain wood box at a hobby store, lined it with florist's foam, and added some decorations...

Why chickens? I have no idea.

tracy, your beads are STUNNING!!

BEAD QUEEN!!

 

and, thank you for the package!

Yes, they are awesome beads.

And the Bag of Fate is equally awesome.

He who fucks nuns will later join the church.

Prisons are built with the bricks of law, brothels with the bricks of religion.

I bought the pirate bag!

Oh man, I just had the BEST BBQ brisket sammich EVER in the history of the universe. I bless the cow that gave its life for such glory.

it all looks yummy -- what'd ya get?

 

or would that reveal too much about your mindset?

It's actually replacements for some stuff I ordered earlier that had leaky caps and spilled all over the place. I got Persephone, Gaueko, Versailles, and Black Forest. They also sent me free samples of Tezcatlipoca (which I'm wearing right now) and Red Devil.

urine samples? I got a big box of glass just this minute!

Unless this is the best-smelling urine I've ever encountered, I don't think so.

welcome back! and happy birthday!

 

hey nat! i spotted us in the trailer for jeff tweedy's dvd.

Oh god. I was having a very bad hair day that day.

My order from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab came today! They sent me two free samples along with my stuff.
