The Boosh is Mighty: 4-Way Crimp

Mostly Safe for Work, except for the brief "fuck you" at the very end.
Crimpety crimpety........

Partial Apology to the Squirrelly Tribe

.... it seems I utterly failed to hold the MICE responsible for their part in the great tomato robbery. It is as though Beatrix Potter has set her cute little minions on a campaign of terror against my garden. I think it may be related to the record high temperatures here, and the water content of the plants.

Civic Duty---- Check!

For several years I was excused from jury duty because of my status as unpaid caregiver.

Yesterday, I did my first jury summons, and it really was surprisingly pleasant.

At first, it was like a flashback to high school-- a group of people stuck in an old building, wishing they were anywhere else.

The nice lady with the clipboard gave us these little numbered signs, like at an auction. They made good fans.

These case was civil suit, so nothing traumatic.

My favorite of the two attorneys was a mellow, confident older woman ( I think she'll win the case, just based on her obvious alpha status); the judge was a substitute, and had a Johnny Carson-like vibe-- he kept us entertained while the two sides made their choices.

I wasn't chosen, but the other two long haired dudes were, so yay Austin or something!

Squirrels Can Be Such Bastards Sometimes...........

.like today, when the twitchy nosed little fuck ganked BOTH juvenile beefmaster tomatoes, passing many green cherry tomatoes--no, the evil little tree rats had to have the last two tomatoes of the season, I get it.
Cute little malevolent gangrenous syphilitic blasphemies.

MILESTONE!!!!!!!!

I performed my 2,000th massage at work tonight---(2,000 there, not career total)
thats 100 times 100, times 2. And many of them were 90 minute or 2 hour sessions, so I've clocked way more than 2,000 hours at my "new profession".

Alyssa and Megan and Sarita and Andrea and Lee and Monica (receptionist and co-therapists) feted me with cupcakes (!), and the clients were generous---deep thanks to all.

I celebrated by using some of my tips to purchase the Amy Winehouse Back to Black CD--damn, I hope she survives-- she's like the Billie Holiday or Edith Piaf of our day---can Angelina Jolie do an intervention for her? If anyone can speak with gravitas about self re-makes it's AJ---she kinda used to be an Amy, and now she's a fabulous force for good (quiet, Jennifer).

LMT POV

.....stands for "Licensed Massage Therapist Point Of View".
This is how I remember my clients---upside down, on their backs, and really relaxed. Sometimes they get so relaxed that they regress to the olden days of black and white photography--but only when they get super duper extra relaxed. Like Sean, here.
