"The Sound Of The Crowd" -- Human League |
] |
Since I'm not inclined to venture outside with the heavy winds that has plagued Davis recently, and since I'm also looking for an excuse to procrastinate on other errands and chores, now seems like a worthwhile time for a journal update.
As I anticipated, the Covenant concert was immensely enjoyable, and although the DNA Lounge seems cramped for Deathguild, it wasn't too crowded for the concert. Also, of all the venues to see Siouxsan again, this one was probably the most appropriate. I would definitely see them again should they return, and hopefully next time, even more friends will be able to attend. Actually, I also had the opportunity to see Erin L. the evening before, as she was in town for a friend's wedding, so double my out-of-town friend fun.
Additionally, my friend fun hasn't been limited to just weekends, although this past weekend was also fantastic as Erin and I cooked Indian food for Sarah and J on Friday. On Monday, I saw Troupe Katie and her friend Sean, and just yesterday, I briefly saw Kati, so I call that a win. It's encouraging to see people regularly, as Davis has felt increasingly isolating with so many people having moved or plan to move out of the area.
Interestingly, this last week has been one of acquisition. As Lilly's father was traveling through Davis, he was able to drop off the motorcycle, so I finally have it in my possession. Hopefully I'll be able to operate it soon so it does more than take up space in the garage. Actually, I have the MSF class scheduled for this weekend, and while I'm excited to have one finally scheduled, I'm somewhat anxious about it as well, as I don't feel prepared having virtually no previous experience. Then again, the course is designed for people with no experience, so I suppose I shouldn't worry about it. Even if I don't pass the course, I can reschedule it again, and at least rescheduling in Woodland is far easier than in Sacramento.
Also, although a few weeks late of Unexpected Guinea Pig Multiplication Day, I recently acquired another guinea pig, which is why I saw Kati yesterday. Randy and Kati had three guinea pigs, but sadly, two of them died, leaving the one by herself. As they are social animals and happier in small groups, she asked if I would be interesting in adopting the third, and I accepted. Fortunately, it appears as though she gets along well with Athena and Saffron, so I imagine it's beneficial for everyone involved. With all of these recent acquisitions, I feel almost Ferengi; I'd request some oomax, but I doubt anyone would accept my invitation. That's okay, I've become quite accustomed to self-inflicted oomax over the years.
As for Halloween, since I was planning to be a Gentleman for Sarah's birthday party when the theme was Buffy/X-Files related, I might just do that, as I don't really have the time for much else. Hopefully I'll have the energy to celebrate with everyone, though I imagine my activities will be fairly low-key anyway. Not necessarily a costume note, but after Sarah was generous enough to cut my hair for me, I dyed it purple, but the purple has almost completely faded. So, unless coloring once a week sounds appealing, I'd recommend avoiding the purple Manic Panic dyes.
I'm sure there's plenty more to share, but I should be productive elsewhere, so I'll end this here.
