going crazy!
ack! this whole moving across the country thing is going to cause me at least two mental breakdowns.first there's the amount of crap we have piled in our attic that has to be sorted through. then i have to sort through my clothes and get rid of some cause they wont all fit in the car.
then i have to pack up all my nice dishes and store them away somewhere and hope they don't get broken over the next five years.
the books, the sheets, the furtniture, the cds, dvds, coats, shoes, plants, papers, what am i going to do with it all? and do i have enough time??? two months isn't long. especially since we are moving out of our apartment at the end of next month . . . so i really have 4 1/2 weeks.
and we're broke.
and we have to pay for gas to get across the country, we have to pay a deposit and first month's rent on the new place before we even SEE it. we need new tires and a total overhaul on the car just so we know it will make it. and i have to pay for my new massage license in rhode island before i can start practicing there.
stressful much?
enough venting, no one wants to hear me complain.
the good news is that the husband had an interview at a printing company yesterday and they hired him right away and put him to work that same day! so that's good. and i work my first concert at the zoo today! come down to the zoo and see the wailers play and buy a beer from me! i'll be working the tills. wearing my mirror pond pale ale tee.
remember that patron thing i was talking about a few posts ago? it still stands.
or just come buy some massage from me.
love,
tj

home
it's good to be home.the week went by fast and had its ups and downs. for the most part it was a good experience. i had some awesome conversations with people. some frustrating conversations with people. i haven't talked about my dreads or the fact that i am a vegetarian so much in my entire life. but on the whole, it was good.
plus, EVERYONE was being eaten alive by bugs! everyone, that is, except for me and my friend jack. she is a vegetarian too and neither of us got bit by bugs . . . hmmm . . .
buuuuut i've been back now for 4 days and the entire time i've been back i've had NO VOICE. it's gone. i don't think i am really sick or anything, i feel fine. sometimes my nose gets clogged. but mostly its just my voice. gone. it was funny at first and sort of cute. but now it is just frustrating and yucky. i have to work at the zoo tomorrow (first concert!!! yay! the wailers! come on out and see them and buy a beer from me!) and i NEED MY VOICE to do that.
in other news: i spent some time at the moon and sixpence with some amazing people after watching Dr Strangelove (one of my favorite stanley kubric movies of all-time) with friends (including ARWEN!) last night . . . sunday i slept all day while the husband cleaned the attic out in preparation for moving and then we went and saw dolorean play at the doug fir. excellent. saturday we had a small dinner with some friends and ended up staying up late making music and laughing the kind of laughter that comes from deep friendships, good conversation and just enough wine. except the part where i had no voice the entire time!
it's been good to be home. i love portland and i am going to miss it so much.

deep thoughts with tabitha jane
why do we have to have money to survive? can't we just get by on being nice? i am nice to you, so you are nice to me by giving me food. no more of this work for a paycheck and buy crap thing.i'm finished.
AAANNDDD, the husband just got back from a cross-country road trip with his brother . . . gas is super expensive. how are we ever going to make it to rhode island without a patron or something??!?! anyone interested in being our patron? we are two smart, fun-loving, exceptionally nice, thoughtful, respectful, friendly, young human beings who will make the world a better place. i think that meets all the requirements for finding a wealthy patron, don't you?
in other news, i am currently putting together some photos for a show this month . . . i am just having trouble deciding which ones to show. can you help? let me know and i will send you the link to the photos.
thanks a million!
are your summers getting off to a good start??? i hope so.
peace,
TJ

help me?
so, i am sort of stealing this idea from jess. she wants help naming the fetus.i need help naming my future dog.
i don't know what gender s/he will be or what type of dog. but i can tell you that it will NOT be a little yippy nasty dog that is more like a football and less like a dog. it will be medium to extra large sized and very obidient and fabulous. perhaps a husky. or a golden retriever.
so . . . names?
i was talking with my friend jan today about names and she said it should be something dignified and respectable. like watson or sebastian. or beatrix or victor. but i was thinking some sort of literary reference or clever thing like atrayeu (did i spell that right?) or tigerlily.
any ideas? or even just guidance on to the right path would be helpful.
the mister wants to name it scout.
p.s. i hava already found a siberian husky rescue organization where i could adopt a husky from in rhode island.
