fajrdrakoNice day. Oh, I love holidays!
Breakfast at Tucson's with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maaseru and Yolande. Afterwards we went to the Byward Market, to browse Chapter's a little. I got a wonderful book: The Marvel Comics Guide to New York City, a book I've longed for all my life. We went into the Market then, where I bought a shirt and Yolande bought 'sweet caramel' corn which I cooked for lunch for us all. maaseru and I are on a quest to find corn that is not so sweet. This wasn't it, but it was still enjoyable.
Then I worked on my current Torchwood story, did some housework, and wrapped birthday presents. I followedgolden_hinde's advice and used a sterilized safety pin to pierce my left ear, where the hole had closed up; then I was able to put on my Star Trek earrings. New ambition: To fix the earrings I have (many of which are now singles) and get a few more.
Beulah came over and fixed the broken arm of my sofa, and then we both went to the Yangtze Restaurant at the corner of Somerset St. W. and Cambridge St. N. for Tasia's birthday party. There were about twenty people there, including StarWolf, Sheila, Andrea, Paul, Donna, Christine, John, Janet, some friends of Tasia's who aren't familiar to me from fandom, and, of course, Tasia and Peter. I gave her John Barrowman's autobiograhy, Anything Goes.
I wore a dress, joking that I thought no one would recognize me in one. Received much admiration, surprise, and downright incredulity. Donna said they's all have to stop complimenting me or it's go to my head and I'd go all femmy and start wearing dresses all the time, and make-up too. Hmm. Wouldn't that surprise them all.
Afterwards: exercises, listening to Terry Pratchett's Men at Arms.

PS I always knew that Beulah is a woman of many talents, but fixing sofas? I'm impressed! And you can tell her I said so.

Beulah is amazing. Truly. She is wonderful with furniture. It's a knack.

Oh, and I didn't send you The Attic Demos, did I? Just talked about them. Will have to remedy that!
PS Gerard may have dyed his hair a ridiculous shade of red/pink. LOL. So far there's only one pic online, and it may or may not have been Photoshopped. So it might all be a false alarm. But fandom is alarmed. *g*
