As I'm FINALLY seeing a doctor tonight about this owie, swelly throat issue I've been dealing w/since Sat., I don't quite know what my plans will be for the weekend. Either I'll be fine and get to go to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flameofsilver's house tomorrow night to celebrate the evening w/him, or I'll be contageous (having already given my entire office whatever I've got), and I'll e at home, likely getting schnockered and celebrating the right to do so while watching cheesy melodrama courtesy of "Dante's Cove." ;D
I'm swimmin' and doin' laundry this weekend regardless, and unless I'm really bad-off sicky-wise, I'll be making people up for THE LAST DAY OF FILMING on the movie project I've been working on since JANUARY!!! :D:D:D ^_^ :D:D:D Yep! That's right! Done! Finished! Kaput! Finite! Terminado!! :D:D:D:D
My weekends are therefore MINE again, *glee* and so I might be doing a lot of things w/my time.. from finishing my place to taking bellydancing classes and a ton of stuff in between, yay yay yay YAY!! :D:D
And lastly, I've found some nifto links through my lunch-hours lately, & thought that if YOU didn't have much to do this weekend, ya might have some fun checkin' these babies out. :D:D
First off, there's Darker Projects.com. They do a ton of fun radio dramas/audio plays for folks who dig.. the darker side of fiction. ;) These guys have stories featuring everything from zombies to elves, faeries to vampires, C'Thulhu and beyond. ^_^ (And for you fan-folks out there, they even have series' based on stuff like "Dr. Who" and "Star Trek." :D:D) Yay! My faves? "The Byron Chronicles," "Alive Inside" and "Gothik." ;)
Next, NIYAZ. If you like Arabic/ME music, CHECK THIS BAND OUT!!! They are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, and I was lucky enough to find them on Ioda- so they'll be featuring in my upcoming podshow. :D:D (Prob'ly a lot. ;D)
Next we have Louisa John-Krol. Shis does -amazing- mythology/fantasy/faerie world-based stuff, n' I'm rather shocked n' appalled at myself that I hadn't heard of/discovered her a LOOOONG time ago. If you like good lyrics, a lovely voice and great instrumentation & production (unlike a bunch of the other stuff one tends to find in that musical genre on the internet) you'll LOVE her. I encountered her work on YouTube via a vid about/by Brian Froud called "Muse," and it was all over from there. ;D Check out her new album entitled "Apple Pentacle-" where the "Muse" track came from. ;D
And lastly, athough it's not a link, it never occurred to me to look for things like events and people I was interested in on YouTube. It is AMAZING the kind of stuff that place has to offer... (Good as well as bad. ;))
'N that's it for me for this weekend, kitties! I hope soon I'll be able to tell you I just got a new comp., and that I'll be putting my podshow together soon soon soon soon. ^_^
Take care everyone!
Love Always,
Nae

I guess I only have a cold, but damned if it doesn't feel like I have mono again. :P:P I've spent the last two days out of work, and today though I feel somewhat better, I still feel weak, woozy-headed and like my molecules aretwice as heavy. :P But on to what I was writing to ask folks about:
I just went this past weekend and got a kickass tattoo. The shop is great, and they recommeded A&D ointment for my aftercare. They gave me some packets that lasted till last night, and in anticipation of running out I bought some more at the sto' recently. Well today I hunkered down to look at the ingredients, and darned if it doesn't say "Petrolatum" is -50% of its active ingredients!- Fearing that's just another name for Petroleum I looked it up online and yep, it is! :P Now my dilemma is this: What the hell ELSE should I use on my new ink, if Petroleum is KNOWN to leech color, yet my parlour recommended this stuff??? The artist who worked on me has been inking for YEARS, so ya'd think he'd know.. but maybe he just recommends what's easiest and cheapest.. you know?
Last time I got inked I looked up Tattoo Goo and a few other things, but I'd really like to hear a rec. from someone who's USED something to good effect. If this stuff is gonna leech the colour out of my tat, I don't wanna keep usin' it, period. Last time I searched and searched the drug store and STILL couldn't find a lotion that didn't have Petroleum in it, and now I -really- wanna do this right. So anyone got any advice, and/or tips on how to get to that middle part of your back that (nearly) NO ONE can get to w/o help? Yep. That's right. My new tat's there, and I don't have anyone to help grease me up to take care of my new art. (Currently I'm using the nubbly back-side of a long-handled back scrubber/brush.)
Ideas, advice, anyone?
Gracias!
