it was on, i was on it working away, then it just went black.. and cold. I could feel its lifeless body cool down quickly. It registers power.. but does nothing in response to pressing buttons, trying ot turn it on.

sweeeetie dahhhhhling!

Soooooo the New Years Ever party, (e:matthew,779) will be a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!Stop by on your way out, stop by on your way back, or come and stay for the whole (e:peep) event!

Originally I wavered (half joklngly half seriously) between wearing a comfy oversized hoody and something with an elastic waistband (too many sugar cookies and other high cal holiday fare, yum) and aiming to look absolutley fabulously cuuuute (little black very forgiving yet sexy dress, heels, gloss and hair)!
Well, I settled on somewhere in between- gonna hit it up, Ab Fab style, ala Eddy and Patsy. hehe, read on..

If you haven't seen "Asolutely Fabulous", it is a caustic and clever Britcom about two neurotic gal pals who are faithful followers of fashion. Eddy is in PR, while Patsy's a magazine editor, though work isn't something they do very often. Drinking is, however, as is man-chasing (sometimes literally)- along with some coke and smoking. It is some funny, quirky stuff, although I rarely catch it anymore. Oxygen used to run episodes and I know that the BBC usually does- but I never manage to be around when they are on. I may mak a run to Block Buster to see if they carry any episodes to brush up on-- Gotta get my brit on! not (e:brit) ,haha

(e:ladycroft) and I went on a thrift store mission to excavate perfect Eddy (me) and Patsy (her) outfits. As seen in the following pictures, Patsy is fashinably put together in a traditional work style of attire, complimented with bright red lipstick, flashy jewlery, cigarette and a bottle of liquer. Eddy has an eclectic fashion style. It works, but it is odd- definitely pushes the limit on fashion sense. Plaids, animal prints, foo foo frills, leather- everything is open territory for Eddy.

hehe, I scored myself a red and purple plaid pant suit. I could have gone with something more aestetically "normal"- but embracing the funkier side of eddys outfits seemed the optimal choice.

here are some pics of the gals I snagged from google images:

In all their fashion glory:

and an Ab Fab montage:
(note to LC- the video still image of Patsy in a red dress and Eddy in the low cut black one (which I have!) is the pic I tried to find the other day-and had tried to send you.)



kinda fun ab fab themed music video, "thin and gorgeous!"



anyone else daring to dress up? have fun with it :) I know we will!

see you there, stoli in one hand, a fag in the other!

sage advice

I have been researching and reading (and experimenting) on plant induced altering of the consciousness. My interest and fascination has always ebbed and flowed. Right now its flowing. Currently, Salvia Divinorum is my target. well, and ever since reading (e:paul,4711)

5X (salvinorin A) is very weak, but made for good practice and to see what the future of stonger potions will hold (15X or 25X). Intense laughter, a few visuals, then thoughtful relaxation followed by deep and detailed night of dreams. I think there was a lot more to it than I originally thought- in hindsight, I mean.

By just the glow of the fire logs, (e:ladycroft) and I fired up the hooka. We both claimed not to have sustained any effects, yet there were "smoke ghosts" attacking her and I "floated" in relaxation. Adamantly not convinced, we hit the bowl.

With my suggestion to "hold and swallow", I recall immediately after saying that, felt like I was smacked with a 2X4 and I turned to her to say, "don't tell me you don't feel that"- then proceeded to see bike chains floating in front of me. However, I yelled out, "chainsaws!" then couldn't stop laughing.

(e:ladycroft) followed my advice, then next we knew she was on some carousel riding a horse. Now that was hilarious. She proceeded to take on the carousel theme through the remainder of the gram we started off with. (yep, we hit it once more).

I melted into the couch- my feet were one arm rest, my head the other. My body was the seating of the couch. I was the couch. I experienced a sharpend sense of auditory abiltiy, odd, since I am by far a more visual person. I could hear sounds within the hooka, I could hear details in the music (Infected Mushroom) that I hadn't heard before and my mind took on detailed thoughts..as though I could figure anything out. I had a scenerio play out it my head- dreamlike, but I wasnt sleeping. Timika mentioned that we should try to play Nintendo's Simons Quest, but I needed "two more minutes" to think.

It was pleasant for me- smooth transition(other than the 2X4 bike chain thing). I think I would like to use it again just for that thinking purpose. It appeals to my cerebral side for sure. I really liked the deeper thinking without all of the day to day "mental static" that occurs. This could be therapeutic. I can see why this would greatly enhance meditation. ADD? no problem! So far, so legal.

I am curious about the laughter as I had not read anything prior that would make me expect that sort of reaction. Perhaps it is the initial effect that a novel substance on the brain creates. I'll begin looking for scientific data..

it would have been fun to have had the experience video recorded.

wow, did I dream. My dreams all night long were deep, detailed and colorful. I consider myself fortunate to be able to have consistently detailed dreams, but this took on a deeper level.

i am a bit tired today probably because of it..

This is a good site to check out more information and products (if you are a Doc/scientist doinf research you can get it for free!)


For a cheat sheet of information from the smae site above, check out the link to the users guide- it explains everything about it- what to expect and what the various levels of altered state are:


hehe, I want this book:

total recall

ever remember something that you hadn't thought about at all, until a random moment in the middle of the night? sure you have..

whats mine? at 2:30 am I just remembered that somewhere, out there, a picture exists of (e:ladycroft) and (e:theecarey) 's tongues touching at (e:enknot) 's birthday party.

huh. how about that.


busy day sunday-- if i don't get to making cookies, i am returning all of the ingredients that I have bought-- I never use them any other time. Can I do that-- go unshopping?


bed time.. stay warm!

of port and roosters

My room is so cute.

and now I have plastic on one window, yay! thanks (e:terry). <-- notice use of punctuation after peep name, very cool (e:paul) :)

I still have to do the other.

Anyone know where I can get an inexpensive large rug? emphasis is on inexpensive. I almost don't care what it looks like. As long as there aren't roosters.

or the usual gamut of horrors:
clowns
babies
monkies

I am restless.. I might drive by the mall tonight.. might even stop in. I believe some stores are open until midnight? (JC Penny, etc)

But I am getting really hungry and a bit tired too..

and I have some good reading to do. I think that might trump shopping (as if there was really any competition in preferred activity there!)


hmmmmmmm let me go find food and figure out whats what.


maybe a small glass of Port to top it off, awe yeah.

Hope all is well in your neck of da peep 'hood.

tidbits

anyone get random site messages in their inbox today? i am trying to decipher if one I got is real- i hate to respond if its bait. My curiosity will ofcourse lead me to respond.

Nice warmish sunny first day of Winter! Would have been a great hiking day-- I miss getting home in time to go for for some fresh air.

There has been so much junk food around work lately. I havent had much time or interest in consuming any of it (although I did decapitate a sugar cookie snowman)- junk food tastes best vegging on the couch after a long day of work. yup. *heats up pizza* *will finish off said decapitated snowman*

Getting home at 7:30 tonight bites.. I have some things I really want to do (MAKE COOKIES) but I am not sure if I really want to start. I am set to go in to work a couple of hours early. My aim is to get out while it is still light out tomorrow. I'd like to get a head start on my weekend!
soooooo maybe some puttering and then off to bed with a good book. Snuggly warm is nice.

My cats tore open a gift already-- I now know that they have a taste for tissue paper. I found lumps of shredded and soggy red tissue paper all over the living room. As long as they had fun.. and as long as the recipient doesn't care for clawed wrapping, it was, um, personalized, yeh.

its weird when you peeps end up in my dreams.. dirty biotches.
j/k details allude me..must have been kinda lame.. boring biotches ;)

I want to see a movie soon- sometimes I go on Christmas. i think dejavu is on my to-see list. We don't do huge family gatherings, so i am usually pretty free for most holidays-- which has its good and bad points, i guess. Are there any other christmas loners out there?!


I have a little more shopping to do.. fun. I would usually be just thinking to start. This is so bizarre!

well, i think its time to constuctively occupy my time..
