Huzzah!
I’ve had a good solstice! I started it with some work - serving at the Blue Train. My first shift without any glitches. It was nice.
Then, it was raining, so I read a comic book for a while - a circus person, Lissy, let me borrow two of hers (Squee and Milk and Cheese). They are funny and dark. Once it cleared up enuf, I rode back to my new place to make food and get ready for some swing dancing.
And even that was fun. I snuck in, not paying the $7 cover (the big band is so terribly unrehearsed). And when they played CD’s during the breaks between sets, I won a prize for ‘winning’ the steal dance. A steal dance is done to a longer song, and you dance a few measures with a person before splitting up to cut in on two others. So everyone dances with everyone basically during a song. Well, the organizers picked two dancers to be the prize tokens, and if you ended a song with either dancer, you got a prize. That was me. I got some chocolates. It was good, and good. In fact, it was double-plus good.
Now, I’m scheming my way into a library card. I have to get Bernard, the owner of my house, to sign a paper saying that I live there. That way, the library will feel better about letting me take books out. But I’ve been dying to read ever since I finished Alan’s book (which was then given away in a Secret Santa).
Ah. Oz.
