Happy Valentines Day!

The Pink Martini Concert was fan-freaking-tabulous. They sang lots of music off their new CD which is recorded and should be released in two, four, five, six, seven months from now. ~aigh!~ That's what you said last year! Thomas Lauderdale was breathless to watch and China was utterly enchanting. They ended the night playing "Brazil" with a huge drum band and lovely tanned women in feathered outfits parading down the aisle. After the show we left the buidling and were lured up Taylor street by the sound of South American drums. A street party had broken out shutting down the entire avenue as drums played and people danced. I cursed myself for leaving my feathered bikini at home. We danced and laughed until traffoc broke up the festivities. Whee! Fun fun fun.

-Saw a bumper sticker this morning that said "The revolution will not be televised" while I was listening to REM's "Radio Free Europe."

-Got to practice full on Chi Sao this week with take downs. Jillian took me down four times and I managed one good take down. Not to shabby against someone who's a few sashes above me.

-After a year and a half I have finally mastered jumping into a handstand with my feet together. I can't wait to show my yoga instructor today. (Hope I can do it again!)

-There goes my three day weekend. I'm taking home a truck load of work. *&%$#!

-Going to Pink Martini this Saturday with a co worker. I can't wait.

-Today's offsenive bracelet says "Bite Me."

-I did my taxes and was excited about my refund until I discovered that I have to pay Mulnomah county tax. "The average cost per family will be $100." Bullshit. I'm single and it's costing me nearly $500. Children and methadone addicts of Portland, your ass is mine.

Banned for life.

I've been dieting like crazy the last two weeks to peel off the poundage from the three weeks of non stop holiday snacking and television viewing. So today I rewarded myself with a trip to the department store for a shopping spree. I found a nice pair of khaki pants and a couple of stripey fitted shirts. Then I hit the costume jewelry department and bought another one of those do it yourself bracelets. This time I bought a black band and some sparkly pink rhinestone letters. The woman who rung me up was pushing eighty and was having some serious problems with working the register and properly ringing up my purchase. I started getting freaked out because the letters I bought were S, L, U, and T. Personally, I think it's hysterical and it will be fun to wear out clubs and whatnot. I was afraid that the woman would figure out what obscene word I was trying to spell and would ban me from Meier and Frank forever. I could just visualize a bad digitalized picture of me taped up to each register saying "Don't sell this pervert any jewelry." I was trying to come up with another word, some excuse for the letters I bought. Luckily she finally got it done right and handed me my little bag. When I got back to the office my friend Laurel said "Oh, it spells lust!" Duh. Why couldn't I think of that. I'm no good under pressure.

* Any reference to Det. Benson being product of her mother's rape = 1 drink and circulate number of local rape crisis hotline.
* Det. Munch bitterly refers to previous marriages/wives = 1 drink per ex-wife/failed marriage.
* Det. Munch interjects conspiracy theory or other paranoia = cover your glass with your hand and drink so no one can see you.
* Det. Tutuola (Fin) uses urban slang = drink a 40 plus one for my homeys.
* Evidence thrown out by a judge = 1 drink.
* Detectives trick a suspect into giving up DNA sample (eg by inciting suspect to spit on them) = 1 drink.
* Successful DNA match as a result of above = 2 drinks.
* ADA gets chewed out by judge or boss = apologize insincerely and drink a glass of dry chardonnay.

The Law and Order Drinking Game
2004-02-10 9:34 a.m.

After watching several hours of Law and Order I have developed the following drinking game. You will need a bunch of bottled beer and a bottle of whisky:

*Each time Lenny makes a wisecrack you must drink.
*Any time there is a foot pursuit everone yells "Chase" then chugs nonstop until the perp is apprehended.
*Every time a supreme court justice is mentioned by name everone must shout out their name and drink twice (e.g. "Scalia!" glug glug)
*Every time Jack McCoy brings out his bottle of whisky everyone must drink a shot.
*Each time a district attorney is served with a blue paper motion you must drink.
*Every time offshore banking is mentioned everyone yells "Illegal tax shelter", drinks once and throws a buck on the table. The drunkest person at the end of the episode gets the cash.
*Any time Lenny alludes to his alcoholism everyone must drink a shot.
*Every time a judge excludes evidence from trial everyone must make and "L" with their fingers on their forehead. The last one to make an "L" must finish their drink.
*Each time the insansity defense is mentioned you must wrap your arm around yourself a la straight jacket style and drink without using your hands.
*Any time someone is shot you must drink a shot.
*Each time Lenny makes a snide comment about marriage you must drink. If you're playing the game with your significant other whoever yells "divorce attorney" first gets to drink half their partner's drink.

Any other suggestions for rules? How about for SVU or CI?

Laptops and spontaneous cocktail parties.
2004-02-09 8:57 a.m.

Another day another dollar. I'm very excited that my two and a half hour meeting for this morning got canceled. That means I can actually get some work done and take a lunch break. I think I'll hit the gym and practic my forms. This afternoon I have an appointment to get pretty Valentine hair. Should I go bright red? Probably not, I think I'll stick with funky blonde highlights over reddish brown low lights.

Last night I made a run to Trader Joes to pick up some wine, blue cheese, goat milk cheese, brie, crackers, sparkling Italian mineral water and some frozen curries. Yum. All I need is some champagne and I'll be duly prepared for a spontaneous cocktail party.

Spent some time on the phone with my brother last night. He's not only my brother, he is also my tech support. He's going to help me get my wireless network going again and we're going to see if I can hook up my laptop to my huge monitor for better graphic conversion. We're also going to rescue some photos and word docs from my old hard drive as I fear my PowerMac is going to die soon. I'm planning on paying him back with a trip to the symphony and dinner at a swanky restaurant.
