Where were you working? what were you doing?

I was supposed to get laid off in August and get 120K in severance… but now I’m going to be working for another year…that seems like a lot of cash but I sat down with a financial advisor and found with the debts I have and my boutique yuppie loft I could only really go surfing in Costa Rica (or something like that for no more than 5 months and my financial little ‘house of cards’ would fall to the ground.

Last spring I joined a band with a bunch of other geezers and actors as a keyboard player, mostly because I needed something to do other than contribute to the 8 years of alcohol I’d been experiencing. They had some deal where they were going to China to be big Rock Stars. We did about 15 gigs throughout the summer (mostly at the Drake Hotel and we were supposed to leave on November 14th, Our promoters in China couldn’t get a permit for the biggest province so it all got postponed until March 17th, I got the news on my birthday, four days before we were to fly. I was pretty depressed and hid from the world for about two weeks, but I think I’m over it now. The band is called The New Black and like everyone we have a cheesy Website (www.thenewblack.ca)….

I joined the band specifically to got China, now I have to hang out with them and take their stupid phone calls for another 4 months!

literally haven’t travelled anywhere in 2 years mostly because I always had this severance dangled in front of me like a carrot – and I thought I might as well wait for that and travel in style.

where have you been, what have you been up to? I checked out your blog when I got your note…it looks as if the world of Raymi has gotten a little more subdued…nothing wrong with that. you’re not going mainstream are you?

do you have a boyfriend these days?

and when you talk about coming back to Toronto – where are you now?

p

dude the new black is the gayest name ever but it’s funny at the same

time because young people like me will go bwahaha at it and geezers

like yer target audience will be all impressed by it. i am putting

your email on my blog and linking to your site. i am trying to go

mainstream but not really. i just want to put out a book that is

different than what all the other bloggers are doing. i am living in

the burbs right now. are u in toronto? yes i have a bf. find me a good

place to live. sucks to be u and that whole china thing.

tony realised that if you want to be a success you have to write all the time about scandallous crap and then you have to put it in a book and sell it and make money so he can eat tacos and have young girls come over to look at his mixed-ethnicity and weird twinkle lites and then you have to get raymi to interview you and totally not give a shit about any of it because now raymi is like a senior in the highschool world of blogging and it is like she is never going to graduate so she just hangs around and bullies people.

so here is the interview.

he called me a barfly and i completely lost it.

do you have the case for this cd? no, i threw it out.

tell them why to laugh.

a grab bag of entertainment what is my purse.

luane writhe is an anagram for my real name. i’m so lucky.

last nite at band practise i didn’t spill any beer. i am getting better in that department though i still yank shit out of the PA, what with all those cords and wires and plugs and me being hyper ‘n all.

i have random email addresses written all over the place and i have to think really hard to remember how they got there and why i have them and what i was suppose to say to that person/s.

hitler-riffic

some of us have peaked and we are annoyed that the rest haven’t.

trying, raising, and breeding the next generation of elite and we’re fucking up all over the place.

i saw the bridget jones movie and i sobbed and sobbed because i do believe in romantic moments though too bad i am skeptic of romantically-ever-after endings.

we are always expecting pain.

emerge hooks me up. tonite i’m going to see feist. you guys should go too. they have this one song i play all the time where the chick is all, “your kisses taste like honey…” and so on and i am like LETS HEAR IT AGAIN GUYS!

anyway, feist are/is playing tonite at the phoenix and i know it is complete last minute i am telling you now (if you didn’t already know already) but this is how it works in the i am afraid of stalkers wanting to harm me blogosphere but i still want people to go where i go regardless…dur dur dur.

oh and my hair is fixed. and it was expensive and took 5 hours. and now my head is a rainbow of brown and black and blond and another shade of blond and it makes the bags under my eyes stand out more which is, great.
