Day off - wheeeeeeee
Apr. 19th, 2007 01:34 pmOh hell no - that wasn't 9AM I woke up at - I absolutely went back to sleep. 11:30 - aaaaahhhh much better.
I now haven't done a damn thing yet and it feels good! I actually should make a point of taking a day off mid week, or maybe a Friday, every once in a while. And not tell anyone, just kinda kick back and get what _I_ need to do done. Or not done, maybe just stay in bed for a while.
So I left work last night around 6, since I wasn't going to be meeting peeps for dinner. I just couldn't leave work until things were done, and especially since I was late that morning again. AT that point, I didn't need to leave early. I came home, had food, and got ready nice and leisurely. Too leisurely since I FORGOT that 8 wasn't doors. After finally finding ninja parking, and listening to someone bitch about needing to eat (after having a half hour to make a sammich) I roll up and get through the frisking (she opened my Tasuki cigarette case, you know the one I use as a wallet? Sheesh) and get in just as And One was picking up. I missed Military Fashion Show *pouts* But I DID pretty immediately find Lou and Sprite, which given the crush was bitchin'. We had nice spots near the back bar and could see clearly AND have a great place to dance.
I really thought Deutchmachine was Personal Jesus, to the point of commenting on it to Lou. And since the singer was whipping around Dave Gahan style, I really thought it was. When the seguewayed INTO Personal Jesus, I remained unsurprised. As I was with the comment "Sounds the same, no?" Oy.
And no, this is NOT Deutscheland. As much as that pleased Lou. *grins*
And then VNV which surprised me how many songs I actually knew. Like as in have heard (repeatedly) AND know the names. Some of VNV I can't listen to. Some I love to death. It doesn't zone me out like it can for some. Honestly, that's the Cruxshaodws for me. The sing along was neat. I can't help but say after "Give me your hands!" *me* And a Sandwich!
We started trailing out during the second encore. I'm OK with missing Beloved, since Epicentre is more my speed. Had they played Joy I'd have stuck around. Bought Lou a CD, and me, and started off to the next stop.
I will say at this point, that I KNOW a buncha people I don't want to deal with were there, and I totally only saw one. One of Chris' exes I have the charming names for. Totally spotted her across the room (she's hard to miss) then had to exit behind her while SHE was behind Lou while getting merch. It's very strange - the ONLY time I see her is when Lou visits, and Lou is the one person she seems afraid of. It's FUNNY AS HELL. We had a good laugh. She's entirely "charming" and honestly, I've gotten used to ignoring her.
So after that we headed to Crypt, which is now at Ramrod. I don't think I've seen the space in the right "club" light before, although I did see K's band perform there one night. I LIKE the space. mostly because while the floor area is a bit cramped, you're not trying to get to he BAR which is in the same place. I always objected to that about Toast, I don't like to be totally crowded while dancing.
I think the funny thing is watching the regulars be completely FLOORED at the goths. There were a lot of people by the time we packed up, and there was a definite division of gay regulars and goth regulars. Which doesn't really need to happen. *shrugs* OK if things keep going good it'll work itself out. I really like the little space, and with it happening twice a month, I should be able to schedule at least ONE trip a month, hopefully both times. I should also make an effort to get out to Ceremony at least once a month too. I've just been working too late, and by the time I get home, I never want to go out. That's got to change.
We left a bit early, as Sprite was very tired (used to earlier nights, I totally get that) and her friend was extremely dr0nk. I walked for the car with Lou, which was cool, then got a ride back to MY car. I totally need better socks for the New Rocks. AND standing around at a concert NOT a good idea for the knees. My knees kill me today, less so but still, my feet.
I know how to fix that, or at least alleviate which I was talking to Lou about last night. I just need to get moving on it. It's a change of lifestyles but I think I'm ready, I'm tired of the same old, I need something else. And at least I can control this.
I also want a new bathroom. And a pony. *lol*
So I was home earlier than I planned. But at home there was Turkey sammiches, and "The Woman WHo Loved Sesshomaru" on the TV. So it's OK. I feel rested and good about stuff. An improvement over the beginning of the week. I also know when I'm getting my biggest tax season check, which ALSO alleviates my worry about money for the trip. Yay!
Anywhoo, I really need to get my swerve on for the afternoon. I plan on laundry, checking work email, running to the Maul, and doing some computer moving stuff. Then I have a client which I did not schedule earlier, thankfully, because making it by 7 is going to be tough as is. I need to get them caught up before I go as well.
I know I need more nights out like last night. (I need more time out with Lou too, but that is a bit of a pipe dream for a while. It's OK. I'm very proud of him, and it's a small price for now.) And I need to take time for more adventures with me.
Anyway, need to get up. Wheee!
