Randomocity and Plumbing

We got our boiler serviced and maintained last night (we have radiators!).

They guy said we should get a plumber in cuz we need
1. to add water to the boiler (the pressure is low and the upstairs won't get heat come winter!)
2. to replace two valves on the boiler

Adding in the bathroom pipes, that's three things I need a plumber for!

Just seen in the elevator: a suit with his hair all pomaded and slicked back like my grampa used to wear it.
Who wears their hair like that these days??

Why was I in the elevator? I was fetching morning snackies. Today I have a salted nut roll!

******************

For my morning bath today, I added bubbles. Why didn't I think of this before? And I played a Ben Folds cd. It made getting ready to come to work almost...indulgent!

We had planned on going out to see Dave's Fringe show last night, but we got to working on the house, and it was cold, and we were both...feh. So, we didn't make it out.

Instead, we:
- put up the shelves in the closet on the main floor
- put up the cabinet in the bathroom
- unpacked all our bathroom stuff and put it where it belongs
- hung the mirror and the picture of Gizmo in the bedroom
- finished scraping the paint off the bedroom windows
- had mac'n'cheese for dinner
- did more laundry
- got one of the bookcases to its proper place (four or five more to find homes for)

And in a last-minute burst of productivity, I:
- put up the clothes rod/shelf units in my closet!
- hung up all my hanging clothes and costumes!

I now have Eight Feet of clothes rod and shelf above it! (Previously, the walk-in closet was poorly utilized having only one rod and it being diagonal across one corner of this HUGE space!) I should be able to fit my tshirt shelves and my dresser in the closet, as well as my fabric bins and all my shoes!

The dresser may end up in the actual room, actually. I have alot of costume and fabric bins...but all my shoes will fit! (For someone so unfashionable, I sure have a lot of shoes.)

Tonight is the final wrap up of the post-mortem process for CONvergence 2004 and probably the beginning of planning for next year. Whee! And I have a chiro appointment directly after work so I'll be all recently crunched and aligned.

What if Jesus was gay?

All these anti-gay activists saying "God had a good plan for marriage and we should leave it alone" (where in the Bible is marriage defined by God?? Well, there's all that old testament stuff with the multiple wives...).

And apparently Jesus is talking to these people to tell them to discriminate against gays.

But let's really look at this guy Jesus.

- He never had sex with a woman (this is the current Christian belief. Personally, I think he and Mary Magdalen were likely married.)
- He had at least 12 guys hanging out with him all the time

Maybe Jesus isn't telling you to hate gays. Oh, wait. You don't "hate" gays, you just don't want them to have the same rights as you do. You can say it's about defending the sanctity of marriage, but I notice you're not working night and day to pass laws that outlaw divorce - likely because you'd get laughed out of the state.

Can we just give the religious freaks their own country down south somewhere and let them hate each other all they want without bothering the rest of us?

So much change everywhere

New babies coming to Wired and Moneygod.

Rahna and Figment and Armand and Oliver and Eqe all leaving the state.

Happy birthday to so many people!! Good heavens! s4 and vaxjo most recently.

And last night, I got music in the mail from bloodlossgirl! Squee!

Hey star5, I emailed you so check your email cuz I want you to check your email and email me back...

We're heading into autumn. I can tell because everything is fraught with possibility. New house and all the fun possibilities there, a show to direct and choreograph, a Fringe show for next year to plot and plan for, sewing projects galore, so much to do! It's overwhelming in its seductive call!
