shanmonster | Strange News

Strange things are afoot today, with a mixture of good and bad news. I finally got paid by one of my modelling gigs, and it came to about twice what I was expecting. Hoorah! Also, it looks like f00 will be teaching another university course next term, which is more money we so desperately need. Next, my site won't be homeless after all. The server remains firm. Woohoo!

On the other hand, while I was walking through a mall after modelling this afternoon, one of the city bus drivers flagged me down. I don't know his name, but we've been on friendly hi-how-ya-doin' terms for over ten years. I remember he danced with me on my 21st or 22nd birthday. Remember my old boss, the crazy guy who used to cover the store with wire coat hangers so I'd have something to do on my shift? Well, a few weeks ago, I noticed his head shop was padlocked and boarded up, and I assumed it had been closed down by the sheriff like his last store was. But I guess it's closed because he's dead. He died in a car accident last month. Damn. I feel sorry for his family.

In bizarre news, last night's dream was succinct. I went to a restaurant called Cats Up. Everything on the menu had cat meat in it.
