I've decided to keep the Blogger commenting system enabled on my blog for any who prefer it and have also added Haloscan as a commenting option.

Stupid Blogger.

    I've never been one for live concerts. The chaos always got me too worked up. The first one that I can remember...

    Depeche Mode
    1990
    I was 15.
    Cynthia Woods Pavillion, Houston.

    I don't remember being on drugs, but then again, I don't remember much about the concert either. I think it was good. Maybe. Who knows. I wish I went to that Purple show with Nino. I bet it was dope. Pun intended, but I am serious about that show.

NYC bound!
Unfriendly and I fly out to NYC on Wed eve. The reality of this won't hit me until I land I guess. The last time I was in the city I was 17.

I open to any suggestions of things to check out. I know we're going to the MoMA because I must see any authentic Magritte I can get my glitzy eyes on. I'm sure that there are probably some breweries Unfriendly has on a list to check out as well.

The highlight of all of this will be Carmen. Cannot wait.

    Well, this list is just part of the many mp3s I have strewn about on cds. I got into the Pogues I think somewhere b/w 1987-1990. All of the other stuff are songs that were played on a Miami radio station called Y-100 during their 'Postmodern Music Show' which played ever Sunday night.

Wha?
...someone actually found my blog using this search.

I guess someone really wanted to use Miracle Whip in their sammich! I'm trying to picture the scenario in my head. Kinda funny.

What did we do before the Internet?

    Days before the Internet? Those days were treacherous times really. Post apocalyptic times where gasoline was quite scarce and this guy named Mad Max… er, uh… forget it.

    mere - so...uh...what are you trying to say? *smirk*

    mcgibfried - I think that one deserves a bigger 'Wha?' than mine!

    giggling k - nah..it assocites rotted mayo with my cube neighbor which really makes perfect sense.

    mister underhill - I'm probably one of 'em ....and it seems the culprit WAS Ms. Bees. Did you get the salad to come out ok this time? :)

Meet my ..err...house-sharer...
Unfriendly and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary in July.

I don't know how to refer to him in conversations and I usually just introduce him as Unfriendly without the qualifying noun. I hate these:

Boyfriend - Too temporary. This word doesn't encompass all he is.

Partner - Too business sounding. Also, I tried using this word for a while but folks who didn't know Unfriendly thought I was referring to my girlfriend. Ha!

S.O. or Significant Other - This does not flow trippingly from the tongue.

So, I've been calling him my guy. It's still odd but better than the others for now. I've jokingly referred to him as my husband substitute as well.

See, he and I decided a couple of years back that we weren't going to get married for a couple of different reasons.

Tax reasons
The amount of $ we'd have to pay in taxes per year is ridiculous. Unfriendly is also extremely anti authority so having the government legitimize us is something he does not subscribe to.

Religious reasons
Neither he or I are particularly religious. I'm not one for any kind of organized religion and am pretty much an agnostic. I don't think it would be very honest of me to go through whatever rigamarole an organized religion would require of me just so I could get married in a church.

Maybe I'm an atypical girl, but I've never, ever fantasized about 'the day'. The only time I came close to that was when I was the MOH for my friend, Former Blondie™, about 2 years ago. When we went dress shopping, I could see getting caught up in the fantasy of it and wanting everything just so. Then the practical side of me kicked in. The side that can't begin to fathom paying thousands for a dress I'd only wear once and flowers that are just going to die. And I know a marriage ceremony doesn't have to have either and that some fantasies of 'the day' are pretty much no frills.

Now, I know that the marriage certificate isn't just some piece of paper. It's a piece of paper that signs you up for all sorts of legal things. I don't happen to agree with all of these. I do however, believe certain things are essential and any couple who is cohabitating should have these:

1. A durable power of attorney for healthcare (or healthcare proxy)
2. A living together (or domestic partnership) agreement
3. A will
4. A durable power of attorney for financial management

thephoenixnyc's blog has brought up some interesting comments on the subject. Check out this post and this one.

It's also made me want to go pick up a copy of Campbell's The Power of Myth.

Though Unfriendly and I are fine with our decision, I think our family and friends would like to celebrate us in some way, which makes sense. We've decided to forego the rite of passage that's traditional in our culture so we're in a type of social limbo.

I think a commitment ceremony would be fun but I kind of dread planning it. Having one won't really solve my current problem though....

Creative qualifying nouns / noun phrases? Anyone? Anyone?

    i'm fond of a new one i just learned from lachat noir..LISBF.

     

  • At 3:23 PM, Blogger Nino the Mindboggler said…

    If the qualifying noun becomes "My Baby's Daddy", you might reconsider that marriage option.

     

  • At 5:45 PM, Blogger Truecraig said…

    They aren't really 'qualifying nouns', rather more like... proper titles.

    Bed Sharer

    Your 'needs' minder

    Gone-To Guy/Gal

    The Sonny to your Cher (vice versa)

    If my lady and I end up pregnant (we?) we will refer to each other as:

    My Partner in the Grand Bastard Project.

    Yes. We're so sweet like that.

     

  • At 8:07 PM, Blogger Glitzy said…

    JQP -will that Jello happen to be made using one of your drink of the week recipes?

    darth - I'll have to go by her blog to check it out. Thanks!

    nino - I am child free at the moment. I think we'd only consider marriage if we wanted to adopt. Parents (married or non) have the same legal responsiblities so I doubt we would get married if I happened to find out I was a little bit pregnant.

    truecraig - You are so funny. Unfriendly would definitely toast to your choice of moniker in the event you all end up expecting!

     

  • At 10:40 PM, Blogger Mere Existence said…

    I believe that he would technically be considered your commonlaw. That term pretty much says everything you want anyway... no certificate, but you've been together for a long while.

     

  • At 11:13 PM, Blogger Ms Bees Knees said…

    Glitzy: I’ve always been fond of “My better half”… and yeah, I’m with you on the whole marriage scenario. I think our generation is far less traditional and if I ever did marry, it would be by Elvis in Vegas. Ah yeah… woot woot

     

  • At 12:23 AM, Blogger Bella_by_Barlight said…

    Omigod, you’re me!

    I hate labels and use them as little as possible. I think if you’re trying to define your relationship to someone who isn’t important enough to you to just explain the whole think you just blogged, “boyfriend” should be good enough. ‘Cause really, that gives “them” all they really want to know anyway, right?

    My sister got married last August and I was a horrible sister. She decided it was because I was jealous of her and gave me a long speech about how some day I would get married too, and I just had to look at her and smile at that point, and say to myself: this is not about you, this is important to her. You love her therefore you will do what is required of you with no more complaints.

    I was still the shittiest maid of honour ever in the history of weddings in spite of my very best intentions. I probably wouldn’t object to getting married, but I’ve never been involved with a man who wanted to get married. I always date the counter-culture avant-garde type.

    Its too bad, ‘cause the think that I think would be fun about getting married, would be having an excuse to dress up like a princess for one day. Maybe that’s how I’ll celebrate my 40th birthday when it comes around. I’ll have a birthday un-wedding, with cake and a big white dress and loads of flowers and heaps of admirers.

     

  • At 12:44 PM, Blogger Glitzy said…

    Thanks for the suggestions Mere and Bees :) I'll have to try both out.

    Bees....I want a video of that wedding if and when it happens. That would be SO cool.

    Hi Bella. My blonde twin :) That sounds like a fabulous way to celebrate a birthday!!!Thanks for the long comment (I love long comments) I agree that boyfriend should be enough and it's not bad. I just hate that it sounds temporary. Me and my hang ups...

     

  • At 4:16 PM, Anonymous Anj said…

    Hmm, I never knew you were an "agnostic." Can we still be friends? Maybe I'm too traditional? Too married and parent-y? Let's hope not!

    Happy 10th to you both! Have fun in NYC and enjoy that fantabulous opera!

    Oh, and how about "your cupcake"? I can totally see V. as your cupcake. Hellos to him, btw.

WoW Update
So, World of Warcraft is, indeed, video crack. A couple of weeks ago I wanted to create a separate character that wouldn't be part of the group which consists of most of Unfriendly's D&D friends and other folks. I also wanted to get a hang of the feel of the game without being coached by Unfriendly. So, I did.

Friends and neighbors...I played and played and played. I meant to only play to get the hang of soloing, but got sucked in. Unfriendly delighted in teasing me about that. However, I do take breaks to do housework or knit because after a while, I start feeling like a zombie.

I created a female Tauren druid. She looks like a bull, so I named her Chouette because she is and she's not.

The neat thing about druids is that they are shape shifters. At level 10, you get a quest to talk to find the Great Bear Spirit and learn from it. After you complete the quest and go back to train with your Druid Trainer, you learn your shapeshifting spell.

















I can either look like Pocahontas Bull Girl...














... or Wicked Bear Woman.


The mohawked character is Unfriendly's. His name is Malaise. We did not plan our French names in case anyone's curious about that. He created his undead warlock long before my tauren druid. That blue thing is his pet. The second pic cracks me up because it looks like he's got his arm around Malaise while singing his praises to him. (Any captions to these pics are also welcome, btw)

What's most enjoyable about this is that Unfriendly and I get to spend time together blasting the heck out of some beasties. I'm also the only gal out of the group who has dared to play. Not that I'm surprised. The other gals are moms and I imagine have less free time on their hands than I do. Nevertheless, I thought I had reasserted my 'cool girlfriend' status by doing this so I asked Unfriendly his thoughts.

His response: "You were always the cool girlfriend".

They Might Be Giants Pictures
3/8/2005
Border's - Ann Arbor, MI (downtown)

I took these on tiptoe holding the camera high above my head so only some of my shots came out.

Click on the pictures for actual size and burst into the appopriate TMBG song.


Right before starting 'Alphabet Lost and Found'. The guy in the middle is Marty Bellar who does the vocals and wrote the song.


Professors Flans and Linnell.


I don't remember what he was saying or what song this intro-ed.



I love these guys. :)

This is so cool
http://www.hyfntrak.com/tmbg/AFF16018/ has a preview of TMBG's new cd and dvd 'Here come the ABCs'. You can preview the songs and watch some of the videos.

:)

Labels: ,

All Things Giant
I almost completely forgot about the fact that TMBG was to perform at my local Borders yesterday. I almost forgot even though I posted this a little bit ago. And, though I remembered yesterday morning, I was DEBATING whether or not to go because I didn't really want to deal with the crowd. How pathetic am I? My fifteen year old self is mortified that about this. *sigh*

Well, I went and took pictures that will be up later tonight. I got there about an hour and 15 minutes before the show which was held on the 2nd level of Border's. There was a little stage set up under the 'House and Construction' section (or something like that) and maybe 50 or 60 folks sitting around the stage when I got there. Many more showed up and by 7pm, it was pretty packed.

They were promoting their new children's dvd and cd, 'Here Come the ABCs'. They started with 'Alphabet of Nations' and also jammed out 'Flying V' and 'The Alphabet Lost and Found'. I really should have tried to write down the songs in order (that's my OCD ness kicking in) but, alas. I did not. They also played the following :
  • Istanbul (Not Constantinople) <- John F. introduced this as the song inspired by John L's pinky finger from the album entitled 'Pinky Finger' *smirk* This song is actually one of the only ones that is not a TMBG original.
  • Robot Parade
  • No
  • Clap Your Hands (The They Might Be Giants anthem)
  • Dr. Worm
  • New York City
  • Particle Man (which I believe they ended with)

I was able to get presigned copies of stuff (seoul survivor...one of these is yours and I will mail it toute de suite). Since I've met them before and have other signed TMBG things, I didn't want to wait in line for the hour or so it would have taken to get stuff signed in person. Sometimes I can only deal with crowds of folks for so long and unfortunately, last night was one of 'em.

    nifty pix. I actually get to see them instead of just the backs of people's heads! Nice.

    I don't like them like I used to, but I did have fun jumping up and down during the clap your hands song! I could just imagine people downstairs cringing! :)

I Wish is a statement you shouldn’t say to strange women lest they be vengeance demons

I Enjoy life.

I Look for lost things quite often

I Must try sleeping for more than four hours during the work week

I Forget people’s names more often now. Irritating.

I Find the lost things eventually

I Smell peanut butter. I just made a sammich.

I Listen to lots of different music.

I Hide my feelings sometimes but I’m not very good at it

I Pray? Not at all

I Walk less now because it’s winter

I Write less proficiently than I used to

Mon autre chat
Framboise is one of my favorite French words. I love the way it feels in my mouth.

It means raspberry.

I always thought it would be a good cat name. Neither Pooky nor Pumpkin have personalities that fit with this word, though. (Pooky's actually named after a Norse (Nordic?) god and Pumpkin's is a synonym for goddess)

So, I present to you virtual Framboise.


my pet!

p.s. Thanks for the idea, JaneDoh!

    I could definitely own pets that way. Awesome.

     

  • At 1:35 PM, Blogger Glitzy said…

    Aww thanks Val. I don't mind at all I will add you to mine too...actually, I have to add other folks too. Just been lazy I guess.

    cedia...no pets? At least this kind is totally hassle free!

     

  • At 2:17 PM, Blogger cedia said…

    I have three dogs and they are a flipping hassel.

     

  • At 3:59 PM, Blogger Bookfraud said…

    "le chat, c'est bon." That's what I say.

    Cute critter, by the way.

     

  • At 10:55 PM, Blogger Glitzy said…

    3 dogs cedia? My goodness! I don't think I could handle one!

    Thanks bookfraud. BTW, I agree...on both counts ;)

     

  • At 11:34 PM, Blogger mcgibfried said…

    what a nice little kitty... and this is the best way to have a pet... no feeding required!

     

  • At 3:11 PM, Blogger Mere Existence said…

    Your cat seems unable to bend its elbows.

     

  • At 6:06 PM, Blogger Glitzy said…

    Thanks mcgibfried...this is one cat who won't wake me up for food right before the alarm goes off!

    Mere...it's a birth defect. I just treat framboise with affection and encouragement so she doesn't focus on why she's different from all the other virtual kitties. ;)

    Famboise Kitty's head spins like Reagan's did in the Exorcist. That's kind of freaky. You may need to kill it. I'm just saying...

     

  • At 10:37 AM, Blogger John Q. Public esq. said…

    I speaki frencki...

     

  • At 8:08 PM, Blogger Glitzy said…

    Ha ha Bees! The first thing that came into my head when I read your comment was Elmer Fudd singing 'Kill the Wabbit'...then I envisioned Framboise-kitty vomiting green pea soup.

    John...ooh ahh...you impress me so!

Someone send this woman some Vick's Vapor Rub to apply around her nostrils!
