weapons of massdistraction

Now that Spring has sort of sprung I feel like things are starting to happen. My friends’ new business venture, Cake Eater Bakery, opened yesterday with a bang! I was able to take a few photos amid the throngs. I look forward to many happy returns (their launch day just happened to coincide with the 40th anniversary of First Avenue, another Minneapolis institution).

Personally I’m closing in on other goals and milestones. Finally having my taxes done tomorrow (provided I successfully gather all of my paperwork tonight - in full on procrastinatrix mode) and I’m touring another potential school for the lad on Tuesday. I do need to get my ass in gear to get the first draft of my werewolf cop novel in on time. And I haven’t done a lick of prep work to make my raised bed vegetable garden idea a reality. Oops. It’s not like I don’t have the yard space. Though the idea of window farming is appealing I just know my evil cat would lay waste to such a setup.

Last night I was out and about. Caught the tail end of the New Land of Milk and Honey Bazaar festivities.
Sadly I missed out on the knitwear fashion show but did bear witness to a “sermon” by Reverend M. Mackert, authorized Lunarian Priest and Moonservice scholar of Moonstone Continuum. Followed by an excellent set by Skoal Kodiak. Photos here. That wrapped up in time to hightail it over to The Hex to see Total Babe and Red Pens. Despite feeling somewhat off-kilter all day it was a lovely evening.

The week ahead will be full of busy busy with a smattering of boring life stuff, birthday celebrations for multiple friends, and an attempt to see a movie I’ve been waiting months for and is, for some reason, only playing at St. Anthony Main. “Terribly Happy (Frygtelig lykkelig) from the ‘Danish Coen Brothers’ is a thriller about a Copenhagen cop who moves to a small town after having a nervous breakdown.” Looks so good! For now I best get myself ready for Zombie Jesus Day festivities out in the burbs.
