goodbye cruel week ....

The weekend is finally here and as much as I hate the cliche of Thank God it's Friday...well, thank god and all...

Actually, thank god it's Thursday because I'm off work tomorrow and aside from taking Sophie to the vet, I've got a date with the DSL guy and also plan to put my office into some semblance of order (i.e., get all the shit up off the floor).

Will also head out to the park to see Jackie Greene whom I don't really give a fig about, but hey, it's about getting out of the house and being social instead of the feeling shut-in all day. Then, later that night we're going to check out the Golden Shoulders/James William Hindle show at Old I. I'm very excited to see James William Hindle. OK, maybe excited is not the right word. He's not an exciting guy - or at least his soft, Simon & Garfunkle-ish music does not seem to suggest this. Who knows, maybe he'll take to the stage with a chainsaw and we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

Aside from that, in addition to some goofing off, there'll be a valiant attempt to save my roses from certain death. They were burnt to a crisp by the sun before we moved in. I've pruned them back and plan to feed them some tasty rose food tonight. Any other suggestions? There's one lone pink rose blooming right now and it gives me just the slightest bit of hope that all is not lost ...
