| New Years at the Castle? Also shopping question |
[Dec. 26th, 2009|09:03 pm] |
So The Castle was recommended to me earlier as a good gothy place to chill for New Years. Great frustration on trying to get information on the event off their website. There is none! Like where to get tickets? Do they sell tickets? Is there going to be a theme? When do the doors open, will it be the same as normal or earlier or???? Is there a dress code as my friend isn't the uber goth I'd email them but they only have a link for their email which doesn't work on my computer. So I ask here since you have all been so helpful to me previously!
A secondary question is, I plan to do my boxing day shopping in Florida! Yay! Where are good places to go clothing shopping for the tall and curvy girls? Sizes here tend to be on the petite size or business casual for 40 year olds for everything else. I need me some casual summer clothing that isn't teensy weensy. If it helps, I dress like I live in San Francisco. Hippie chick meets goth girl.
Thank you for the help and I can't wait to see your city! :D |

| Found dog |

My boyfriend and I live off of MacDill Ave between MLK Drive and Hillsborough Ave, and a Yorkie followed him up to our apartment last night. He has a tag with a Miami-area phone number and a name. We tried calling the number, but the voice mail box is full. This morning, we took him over to the Animal Coalition of Tampa, who checked him for a microchip. However, the microchip is not registered. So, we're at a dead-end. Being that the tag would indicate the dog is from the Miami area, we think that the owners are up in this area on a trip. Below the cut are a couple of photos. The hair on his back is grey, so we were told that the breed is commonly referred to as Silkie.
Edited to add: We found his home.

Tonight after dinner, Mom, Dad and I got to geeking about family relationships. What's a second cousin? What's a first cousin once removed? Nobody knew. Everyone was confused. I come from a family of geeks. Mom looked it up in Wikipedia. Dad and I drew graphs.
We figured out who was related to whom in what ways. We determined who wasn't technically related to whom even though we thought we were. We coined a new term... M-Cousins.
Later, after Mom went to bed, Dad and I engaged in complete geekery and redrew a graph in OmniGraffle.

So... smaugchow, meet fionathecelt. fionathecelt, meet smaugchow. You two (Jeff and Ruth) are M-Cousins!
I know, Dad and I are complete dorks. |

I've had my tattoo for a week now.
The Good News - Over the past few days I've tolerated a hotter and hotter shower. The Bad News - Sometimes I think the itching might just drive me crazy. The Good News - Having used the A&D glop for a week, I can now switch to lotion - so much better! The Weird News - A few days ago, some little flakes of skin came off when I washed the tattoo. They were green. That was weird.
In completely unrelated news, today I'm wearing my new "Merry Christmas" shirt. It shows bells and greenery and poinsettias... All in shades of black and white and silver. It makes me such a happy little goth. |
