My partner and I are having homemade margaritas, so I am a bit out of commission. We are sitting on the front porch watching the cactus bloom right in front of our eyes. Beauty red and fuchsia and oranges. So amazing. These huge six inch in diameter flowers on these cactus that are less than a foot tall. It is almost sunset here so it is quite yummy. Those are my tidbits for the night.

The pics are one their way, taggles. Off to the shaker! I got sidetracked taking the pics.

I hope you folks have a hangover cure, because it sounds as if you are going to have a really fun Friday night. Wish I was there! Looking forward to the pictures.
Taggles, the tidbit about divorce, isn’t it great that the women can’t reciprocate, cause if they could… that poor little 8 year old in Saudi Arabia would be back with her mom……
Have a super friday night, I’m off to bed.

Oh I hate that shit! People should be able to just sorta coast into the end of the day on Fridays.

I’m watching some strange movie on HBO about some modern day people going back (via train!) to a feudal time with Malcolm McDowell playing Lord and Master.
I caught part of it once before and it didn’t make sense.
It still doesn’t.
I’m going to have more drinks.

Well, I just got home from work. After 4 years working the night-shift – today was the last one. As of Monday I’m officially promoted and will be working the day shift. It’s weird. I’m not sure how I’ll fare in daylight! The nightshifts are exhausting and I can’t wait to rejoin the regular folks!

DYB-I had not idea they did editing in off-shift hours.
I dunno….I liked 3-11 except it did make it difficult to get together with friends. However on the other hand, if I had a doctor’s or dentist’s appt I didn’t have to take time off from work to do that.

Fredster> I’ve been technically an assistant, but doing lots of heavy lifting and only occasionally getting the correct credit. Most assistant editors work at night. Finally the promotion is official and I’m moving to the day shift. When I say the night shift I mean we started at 6pm and work 8 to 10 hours, depending on the company. When I worked at MTV we actually worked 8pm to 6am. I really hated that! Going to sleep when the sun is already up isn’t fun at all!

Going to sleep when the sun is already up isn’t fun at all!
No it’s not. I worked it for awhile and eventually it put me in the hospital. I could not deal with the things it did to my body. Plus I developed a real hatred of chirpy damned birds!

I just have to say that the kevlar bra image somehow conjures up in my brain: Madonna in that pointy bra number during her, was it, Blond Ambition tour?
April 25, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Yes, LadyBoomer, Madonna wore that during the Blond Ambition. Those cones were designed by Jean Paul Gaultier.

I know it’s Friday night! Everyone must be out partying. By the time all you night lifers get home, I’ll probably be in bed. LOL
If this were Saturday night, I’d be singing this song!
