Big hugs to my poor sister Amy, who fell over in her chair at work and cut her head open on a filing cabinet. She had to get staples in her head! Poor little sister.

Wooohoo! And we are GO for “Lance in Space”! October 28 is the big day. I wonder if I should send him a copy of the CD? 🙂
Oh man… a ShowBiz Pizza/Chuck E. Cheese Tribute Site! I had a birthday at ShowBiz Pizza once, before it merged with Chuck E. Cheese. It was seriously the best party ever. I got to sit in a big throne and Billy Bob (the animatronic hillbilly bear) called me up on stage to talk to him. This site is seriously taking me back. They even have mp3s! (Link courtesy of Matt.)
Guess who’s coming to Sydney? Bea Arthur! She’s performing as part of the Gay Games Sport and Cultural Festival. I’m trying (unsuccessfully) to get the Snook to accompany me. Too bad none of you big Bea fans (you know who you are!) are here to come along!
Sweet. Tara D‘s last stand-up show was professionally recorded and now you can order a copy. Support your local weblogging comedienne!
Well, we’re supposed to be a week into “Back When We Were Grownups”. How’s everybody doing? I know some of the international folks had difficulty getting a copy. So far it’s just me and Khay in the forums. I’m starting to get worried that the group enthusiasm has waned now the project has become a reality. So time for a roll call – who’s actually reading this one? (I’m not trying to rush you; I’m just wondering whether everybody else has taken a pass and we should skip ahead to the next one.)
Ack! Suddenly the future of “Lance in Space” is in doubt! And just when I finally settled on a playlist. Dammit.
Snookums has a new hobby – home brewing. That’s him with his first batch of “wort” down in our kitchen. When it’s all done, it’ll make 20 liters of beer. Yeah, that’s a lot. It’s currently in the first “fermenting” stage, which means that all the little yeasties inside are turning the sugar into alcohol and releasing carbon dioxide, which bubbles out that valve at the top. (I’m already getting sick of the “GLUB… GLUB…” noises every five seconds.) Then when that’s done, he’s got to fill all the bottles and let them sit to further ferment and create the bubbles. All I know is, we’re going to have one hell of a party when this stuff is finally ready. We’re not even supposed to be drinking beer! (Too many carbs, you know.)
I have a crush on a historian. They’re reshowing Simon Schama’s History of Britain series here in Australia and I’m smitten with him all over again. He’s, like, the coolest nerd ever. He stalks around British ruins wearing glasses and a leather jacket and explaining wars and kingships. Apparently he just scored a sweet new deal for more books and shows. *swoon* I’m a historian groupie.
