Jazz night went well, I daresay. I need to sing more often. I'm a singer, so this paralyzing fear thing that hits the moment I walk into a venue and grips me until halfway through my first song needs to go. But, yeah, it went pretty okay. Bo told me to use my powers for good, never for evil. And I have the sweetest boyfriend ever. Except he lies. I'm totally going to start begging lessons from Jenna Layman. She was frikkin' awesome last night. And I'll beg more jazz rep from Kyle.

Also? Mike's the bestest man-pillow a girl could ask for.

Presentation today, paper re-submit, staff-meeting. Then I have the entire evening to myself. I think that Rac and I will be watching the Friends finale, as we taped it last night.

Speaking of Rac, we did a circle together yesterday. That's right. Witchgirl got Jewgirl all invoking the elements and Brigid and stuff. It was a very very simple ritual, but it's nice working with someone else. It only strengthened my convictions that I need to seek out a teacher and a coven as soon as humanly possible. I've been devoting and more time to my studies lately, and I feel grounded, centered. I need to buy a tape recorder to help in meditation, though. I can have a hard time staying focused when I meditate for more than 10 minutes.

Mmm, this chai is so good. /random

So. I'm all sorts of poor this weekend, what with me having $20 and there being mother's day. I misjudged payday, which is actually Monday.

There is a bright side, though. I get $70 extra this pay, and I'm going on a mini-Amazon spree. I just looked at my wish list, and a bunch of the things on it have used items for ridiculously cheap prices. Monday, I'm going to order:

The Second Circle: Tools for the Advancing Pagan by Venecia Rauls. Used price: $6.50.

The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft by Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Used price: $3.50. I have another one of Guiley's books and it was very interesting.

Sati by Christopher Pike. Used price: $2.00! This used to be out of print and all sorts of expensive. EEEEE.

The Blind Mirror is also down around $8.00 hardcover, so maybe next month-- it's newish, so I haven't read it yet. And the Chain Letter books are a penny apiece. :) My geeky heart exults.


Two cds I want are also under $10 apiece... though I think that'll wait until I'm certain my computer is fixed. My dip sister called to say that Best Buy already called. Hells no. If they didn't replace anything, it isn't fixed. I'm frustrated to the point of tears about it.

And also, for $30 to cover materials, I've reserved a painting from a friend of mine-- Jessica Watson. I just love how she uses color-- so vibrant. She's doing a piece for me that reminds me so much of how I feel when I'm in my city. I can't wait to have it. I'll be sure to take and post pictures-- you just might want one of your own.
