windfall
Good news all around these days (and it's about frikkin' time). My chiropractor appointment tomorrow is back-to-back (GET IT?!? HAHAHA!) with Chrisafer's partner Bubbles. Yep, it's taken this long to get an appointment in since I threw my back out, but I'm looking forward to it A LOT. Imagine cold spring water cascading down your spinal column, with the movement and suppleness of a jungle cat afterwards. That's how good chiropracty is for me.
Then some inheritance money is coming down the pipe, as grandma had a bit more left over than I knew about. This unexpected windfall will probably do away with the credit card debt that's been over my head since I moved to DC seven years ago. Right when it was about to be paid off in full, I lost my job and was un- or underemployed for two years. DC isn't a city to come to without some kind of financial support, but now I'll be able to live a bit more comfortably. When I was in the hole I paid a lot of attention to lessons in magazines and books on fiscal solvency, and this time the rest is going to go into savings to ensure I never fall like that again. We learned a lot during those two years for sure.
I don't know what I'll do with the rest, if any, but will consider a used car, but certainly not a place to buy in this insane housing market. DC just ain't worth a $600,000 spot in a crack-infested neighborhood, and the measly tax credit has not kept up with the rising housing costs, so I don't want to hear about that pittance again. I'll wait until things crash a bit, or just hold my cards and consider other options and elsewheres for now.
Had a nice dinner with Bob tonight, and we discussed a WYSIWYG-like blog reading for DC, probably on Saturday, October 23. Since the Annual 17th Street High Heel Race is the Tuesday after that, and a certain blogger may be in town that week to attend the race, it seemed like a good date. We're thinkin' for now a series of short readings featuring pithy and notorious NY and DC bloggers, followed by a social featuring the music of hot MP3 bloggers, and then the option to go to blowoff afterwards. Stay tuned for more details.
And I found out tonight that Bob did the music for In a Fix, featuring Justin the hot carpenter. Bob promises an autographed shirtless glossy of the hunky man himself, but I'd like a whack or two with the real thing. In light of a slew of hot pictures of Justin supplied by PJ, I heretofore declare this week Justin Week. Besides, the only other thing you're gonna hear about this week in the news is that convention in Boston, that bicycle guy, and of course carbs.
If any of you come across more screen captures of His Woofiness, send 'em my way. Back, front, shaved, scruffed, naked, clothed, it doesn't matter. It's Justin Week, so send 'em my way.

wait I am confused, I though Justin was furry, in fact I have seen him shirtless once in an episode and he is furry, what is up with the lack of fur in these pics?

My partner and I just discovered In a Fix and the woofiness that is Justin. Thanks for these pictures. Now what about the furry ones I hear people mentioning above?
I heard there is a Yahoo group called menoftlc (or something like that) with pics of Justin, but I haven't made the time to find them...
