koncupiscence

after an incredibly stressful start to this year, i enjoyed a much needed and perfectly timed weekend getaway to palm springs. it was only two days, but it was a grand adventure from start to finish: torrential rain! crazy winds! landslides! roundabouts and DETOURS! peacock explosions! broken cars! gas station shenanigans! and that was all in the first day. and while some of that could have been traumatic, it somehow wasn't because YAY VACATION and ADVENTURING! it also helps when you're with by people you really, really like.

sunday was spent drinking mimosas in the pool, or lounging next to the pool, or in the jacuzzi, or napping in the sunny shade. 80 degrees and the bluest blue skies. it was rough, let me tell you. definitely not as great as it was being back at work today. :(((

lazy days are my favorite days (shocking, i know), and sunday was so blissful and relaxing that when i pulled into my driveway that night, it felt as though i had been gone for dayyyys, instead of only 34 hours. it was nice. i really needed that trip. thank you, friends! <3

oh! i also saw adam lambert shake his booty wearing nothing but glitter and peacock feathers. okay, not really. he also had on a feathered pimp hat and some check-out-my-cock pants. you know, LIKE YOU DO.

he was, in the simplest terms, FANTASTICO. absolutely brilliant and dazzling and i could have easily watched him perform for another hour or two. my only complaint was that he wasn't as chatty between songs as i hoped he'd be, but other than that it was superrrrrrb. (also, tommy was hottttt.)

wedding #2 was also beautiful!! it was an intimate ceremony on a cliff overlooking the ocean. the morning was fogged in, but the sun came out just in time, and both bride and groom were beaming with joy. it's a second marriage for both, and kudos to them for being brave enough to take that plunge again. YAY LOVE.

vegas was tons o' fun, too. i picked up K2 and two of our friends from the airport and we immediately started off our mini-vacay with an excellent meal and deceptively strong cocktails. I LOVE BEING RANDOMLY DRUNK IN THE AFTERNOON. \o/ and then in the next two days we saw cirque du soleil's O, Zumanity, and the Crazy Horse cabaret show starring carmen electra's BOOBS. actually, we saw a lot of boobies this weekend, to the point where it was almost ridiculous. almost, but not quite. i mean, can you ever have too many tits? i'm thinking no.

and now i am back home and back at work, but i have a K2 for the next week! i predict much feasting and much lounging in the coming days. ah, BLISS.

hope all y'all are doing well. i'll do my best to catch up one of these days. ♥!

flisters, i've been trying to catch up on LJ all weekend, and i'm only about half-way through omg. /o\ i know i comment-bombed a good handful or two of you. um, sorry? :D i hope to finish reading everyone else by the end of this week. (i hate knowing that there are posts out there that i never saw. i am ridiculous, I KNOW.)

there is so much i meant to post about this weekend. maybe i should just bullet point some of it.

+ vacation was awesome and RELAXING and totes what the doctor ordered. i haven't slept that much since... i don't even know when.

+ i saw equus! i really enjoyed it! daniel radp33n was great, and even though i was expecting "that", I REALLY WASN'T EXPECTING THAT. he is a brave, brave boy and i applaud him. i couldn't help but think how beneficial it must have been to have mister dursley in the role opposite him. to have that level of trust with someone who's known him since he was, what, 10? someone to really mentor him, etcetc. anyhow, if you get the chance, go see it! it was really quite interesting, bits and bobs aside. ;)

+ ate at all the usual spots, enjoyed quality time with now far-away friends, and spent a good amount of time just wandering the city, soaking up the streets and the people, the stoops and the shops, and loving every damn minute of it. ugh, east village esp, ilu.

+ i got my hair cut! guise, remember when i had really long hair? YEAH, ME NEITHER. \:D/

+ my flight home last sunday night included not only a scary-ass descent where people actually SCREAMED, but also kyan from queer eye! and two people from gossip girl. :D blake lively and one of the guys from the show sat in the row next to me. (here, i will imdb him to find out his name - i don't watch the show... penn badgley!) anyhow, they were kind of snuggly and totally holding hands as they walked away toward their car. it appears they might be an item. i don't know if that's ~news or not, but there you go.

+ this time tomorrow i will be on a plane headed for portland, oregon, where i will get to throw my arms around a slightlytricky and a calvin_would. \o/ and tomorrow night there will also be a ruuuuuuuufus and a bunniewabbit (though i don't think i'll get to throw anything around rufus 'cept my undying love). <3

+ yesterday was kind of a crap day, but it ended with pizza and top chef, so it wasn't all bad.

+ my friend jen finally confirmed that she is a go for vegas/mcr shenanigans at the end of this month! dude, i was stressssssssing. i had tickets and a hotel room, but no partner in crime. huzzah, huzzah. (i only kind of wish the timing was different so that i could see mcr for the first time with biz. alas, our weekend will be amazers no matter.)

+ i renewed my paid account with LJ yesterday. =\ i didn't feel particularly good about it. they suck, but i don't want to leave and i want all the icons i can get, damn it.

+ is there stuff that i don't post about? sure. mostly for the benefit of you, the reader. ;) is there anything you want to ask me? if so, go for it. coffee refill tiems.

hello, from cody, wyoming! this is the first campsite i've been to that has internet access, but sadly we're only here for one night. *cliiings* we're heading out soon to see the sights etc, but i should be back online tonight. MISS U ALL OMG.
