Wow, is it really the end of June?

[etakyma]

Life has been tremendously busy the last two weeks. I actually took a vacation. Shocking, I know. And it was a real go-somewhere-and-gawk-like-a-tourist vacation. I even saw a BEAR! And in his natural habitat, too. He was wholly un-interested in the dozens of us snapping his photo, it was like he'd arrived on stage right at his proper cue, wandered into his scene, did his thing, and wandered off again. Too cool.

Anyway, when traveling with a large group, always be open to change your plans at the last minute. The only thing we *had* to do was the rafting. We'd already paid for that. Anything else we did was a "we've planned for this, but you want to get ice cream first? Cool. Let's do that. Yum... sundaes..." Very nice, ladies. I had a blast. Hope you all come back next year!

I get home to find my amazon order had arrived! Huzzah! The CDs of "Color Purple" and "Dessa Rose" - very nice! Can totally see why LaChanze got the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical this year. If this is what she is capable of, man, Audra McDonald and Heather Hedley have legacy in her. She is *amazing.* I would LOVE to see the Color Purple - and yes, I am aware of the problems with the book, but the love song between Shug and Celie is the best love song I've heard come out of Broadway in a while. And it doesn't seem like they gloss over the lesbian relationship between the two like the movie does.

Anyway, work was crazy trying to clear it up after having been gone, but I spent a good part of this past weekend doing stuff for LUMOS - 2006... Countdown, one month to the event, and I have so much to do and finish and I'll be in Montreal for a week in July - before Lumos. I am counting on July 4 to get all the decorating stuff finished, and then I just have the commission work to complete. An 8 foot banner - no problem!

I had dinner with gwendolyngrace and heidi8 and Heidi's family yesterday. Heidi et al had been in Maine and were on their way back to Florida when they stopped for the night in Boston before catching a really early flight. Her daughter is a complete cutie at 18 months. Wanting to walk all over the lobby of the hotel. Rocks are good eatin'! Specially if you're teething! Her boys were incredibly high energy. I understand they'd been cooped up in the car for the five+ hour drive, so I didn't think much of it. My nieces would probably be just as wiggly, if a bit quieter about it.

We talked about Lumos and the recent wankage. I am so far removed from that whole kerfuffle, that all I have to say is "hindsight is 20/20, and if you all keep raking all this *ancient* history up, she still wins. So learn from it and *move on.*" And now I am humming from "Sunday in the Park with George."

Good lord, life really is a musical. And my own little soundtrack for today includes the 2005 concert South Pacific, The Color Purple, Dessa Rose, and the song "Easter Island Head." Brought to you by the color green, the letters O and X, and the number 7.

Dude, it's your other co-hort in crime from the wilds of WY. Wait, there were 9 others, so I'm the co-hort with whom you had a loverly lunch and talk of *BOTH* hands. That's right, starts with S and ends with I. *SNORT* So friend me back!

And the bear, that was so NOT all Dru's doing - IT WAS MINE! even if Dru did notice it first!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Dude. The bear.

*ME.*

Back off the bear.

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

Okay, fine, have the damn bear. The BEAVER, now that was MINE! I called up beaver from the depths to entertain us all and Mike, too.

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Ahh, sweet cute Mike. He never knew what hit him. Neither did the beaver. Or, beavers. ;}

::covets&protects bear:: Wha-haha. Bear, mine.

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

Yes, but des the bear sport a loverly, neatly shaved buff area?

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but does anyone brag that they're hung like a BEAVER?

NO.

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

But does anyone really want a hanging beaver? Imagine the assorted flora and fauna it would pick up as it *dragged* through the forest!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

I'd have to pick that out too, wouldn't I?

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you both special ordered the "bear to go..." Seeing as you did such a fabulous job planning and all...

A bear. I'm just sayin' BEAR! Like just across the road. Bear. Yeah. Cool.

LOL!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Right, right. Share and share alike, all that.

Bear.

I winz! \o/

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

And beaver! Don't forget the BEAVER!

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

Sure, just mention the bear. The BEAVER was special ordered, too, damn it!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Who ever forgets the Beaver? I'll answer: No One.

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

It would behoove population to never forget the Beaver!

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

*sigh* sure, and Beaver... Although, beavers in the boat and beavers out of the boat, I'm thinkin' are two totally different animals...



What about the Bison? *hides*

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

See, and I was *just saying* we needed a bison, too, so we could have Buffalo Shots to go with our beavers.

And yer so right. Waaaaaay different beavers. Tho. Both get wet. ::nods::

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

Both get wet.

Yup. If you're good.

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

*Both Hands!* Yes, we are that good...

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Yo. I use Both hands. I Am that good.

omg, aren't you so glad we're friended now?

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

And here I am, willing to share the thunder and look at you, you selfish thaaaang!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

XD

Both hands, babe. We both use, both hands. ::smooch::

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

Smooch back. (Did we get Amy? Is she in the middle? Should we try again?)

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

I'm always game if there's a creamy center involved.

:D

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

Why, I do believe I was in the middle. Kinda cosy here... Wait, exactly how many hands do you two have?

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

I do believe with the last count, Dru was hoping for four of her own...

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Details, details.

Leave it at cozy and let the fingers do the walking.

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

Fingers of BOTH hands... And four hands? My goodness, someone's a bit greedy!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Refer to This!

Not greedy, merely practical. Besides, you'd benefit as well, now wouldn't you? ;D

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

Oh, the Well Hung Bison...it's what all the fashioniestas are calling for this summer. Personally, I wouldn't mind being the cow closest to him at Yellowstone!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Or is that Beaver?

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Because he was a sexy beast. o_O

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, he had his *SEXY* going on! Beast and all! GRRRRR!

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

And the Bison sings:

"I'm too sexy for this clump
too sexy for this clump
This clump of grass..."

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

What? Yo whack, girlie.

Now we really ARE spamming the poor dear.

Stoopid.

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

SPAM? I know no SPAM. I offer only family rated entertainment...SNORT!

And I'll leave poor Amy alone for tonight.

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah. Leave the spam to the Hawaiians, I know.

Me too. She's enough here to worry over. ;D

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

;P With that, it is after 1:30 here... Bedtime! *snort* Thanks for setting up my dreams tonight!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

That deserves a

tee-hee.

nite. :*

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

MY pleasure! (see, I can be greedy, too!)

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Ha.

::winz again::

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

HAHA! *trumps*

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Fine. You win.

XD

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

Hey! My journal. I think *I* should win... [/Veruca Salt impersonation]
