Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

I’ve missed you! Now, to get my dad’s blogs working again. Man, I will never understand this behind-the-scenes database stuff. Give me some software, and I can use the fuck out of it, but creating things that work from the inside out? This is a job for other people. Thanks to all the people helping me get this stuff working right now. You know who you are! Those of you wondering about my dad’s blogs? I’m working on it… a lot. They should both be working very soon. I promise!

Good Stuff from Other People’s Blogs

By Abby at 1:11 am on Friday, January 26, 2007
  • "New Year’s Resolutions" from Sex and the Ivy (thanks, Jon)
  • "Qualia" from Mynxie. Here’s the best bit, a quote from Pooh:

    • When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

Blue Flowers on the Bluest Day

By Abby at 11:51 pm on Wednesday, January 24, 2007

1. Vased, 2. Up Close, 3. Neon, 4. Blue Bunch

Remember how I said that Monday was the bluest day of the year? Well, I got some lovely blue flowers that day. Today, I finally got around to photographing them.

I’ve also finally started uploading my pictures from Sunday’s Carolina Rollergirl’s bout. Engelfish and AaronZ have uploaded a number of really GOOD photos of the event, too, and the uploads continue, so keep checking the "carolinarollergirls" tag. Can’t wait to go again. It was a total blast.

I’m So Jealous, AKA Kristin Hersh at Newbury Comics

By Abby at 12:30 pm on Monday, January 22, 2007

Bostonist brought me bad news today. After reading that Kristin Hersh was doing a free show at Newbury Comics, I posted the comment “NOOOOOOO!” I can’t believe I have to miss this gig, but luckily, there is Brad, consumer of all great Boston gigs, and he is always there with his trusty recorder and camera (when allowed, of course) to bring a version to those of us less fortunate. In a few cases, he’s recorded shows I’ve attended, and the quality is amazing.

It’s a Big Day in Raleigh

By Abby at 4:57 pm on Sunday, January 21, 2007
It’s a big day in Raleigh, North Carolina. The opening bout for the Carolina Rollergirls is in a couple of hours (I have tickets),

AND the Extreme Makeover Home Edition that was filmed here (stopped traffic, caused a big ole hubbub) about a month ago is airing tonight. I’ve never seen this show before (nor has anyone I’ve spoken to locally), but I’m TiVo-ing this one so I can get the whole scoop. Very exciting!

Here is a picture I found in a batch taken locally during the filming:
