A Woman Travels...
Okay, so I am cranky now. Yes, I know, something’s always pissing me off, but this was just over the top. Sad part is, I completely understand what this other soul was trying to do for me, and she had the best intentions. But we all know what the road to Hell is paved with…
Anyway, I am going on a road trip tomorrow to follow the Crash Kings for a couple of shows while they are in my...
Summer. Yay.
So glad we bought this old Victorian house that only needed “a few minor details” looked after. One of those details being Central Air-conditioning. Sure, we can afford to put it in after taxes come back…I think we’ve been saying that for almost 3 years. If it’s 95 degrees outside, it’s 110 degrees in the office here, with the fans on and windows open....
The Upcoming Misadventures of TattooGirl...
So what nefarious plans do I have laid out for the remainder of Summer? Yes, it’s hard to believe I’m already booked through the middle of August, this being the middle of June. The life of TattooGirl can be rather hectic at the best of times! So here’s the scoop as I know it so far:
6/30/10 Henry Rollins: Frequent Flyer Tour, Lawerence, KS. This should be a lot of fun;...
On Music and Musicians
I was speaking with, or rather chatting with a girl not long ago who was lamenting that she never got to hang out with rock bands. Myself, I’ve done more than enough of it to fill 5 or 6 lifetimes. Not sure if that’s good or bad; a bit of both, perhaps. Rockers of all kinds, small bands, big bands, everything in between. I’ve led a charmed life, but most of that’s behind me...
A Break in The Summer(?) of Awesome
I need to slow down a bit!
Last week was crazy; going to see, and shoot pics of, Them. Henry Rollins in Lawrence, KS. No sleep on Monday, so I ended up having an all day sleep-a-thon. Back to work after 3 days off sucked. Two more days of work, then off. Whew. Was invited to a party tonight but had to decline due to needing cashflow. Which was a total shame; hated to say no to the person who...
Live Band Photography
I just wanted to set this out there:
I have recently developed a hobby, thanks to a band called Crash Kings, of snapping pictures of bands during their live shows. Had no intention of bringing this to the local level, but it just kinda happened that way. I have a decent camera, and really just enjoy catching those “in the moment” shots. Fun and practice for me; pictures and memories...
TattooGirl Totally Owns a Stupid Person
Ah yes, this could also be titled “The shit I have to put up with at work”.
It’s remarkable, really, the amount of shit I deal with at work; people think that when you are a “nurse” you deal with medical related “nurse-type stuff”. And I do, all the time. In my sub-specialty, however, I get to go into a patients home for 8, 10 or 12 hours at a time, and...
Sleepy Vampire
Okay, fine. I am so done. I need some additional “coffin-time” before I have to deal with an all nighter. Have no clue why I woke up from the grave so early today. Laters…
And the Night Just Gets Better and Better...
I sent off an email after seeing Henry Rollins in Lawrence; he said that he reads his emails all the time, and I just thought I would thank him for coming. Here’s what I sent: (sent at 2:04am)
“Henry- Thank you so much! The show was amazing; could have listened to you for 3 more hours (almost wished you would have!) Come back through Missouri and Kansas anytime, I’ll be happy...
