and people's lack of it.
I've got purple dorthory braids! <3 em!, @kristeclectic LOL. I <3 it. Bad mom!
making a list of people who haven't screwed me over. it's longer than I initially thought. but there are some surprising non-inclusions.
also working on my book proposals
@tonyadam LOL no. I'm looking at more intimate folks: friends, lovers, family, business partners, mentors.
Trying to focus on the postive ones, instead of the ones who went behind my back and then stabbed me. :(
@lucindamichele no worries for you.
@mediajunkie :) I have 4 books in the head. 1 I will publish by xmas. I want to find a publisher for another, so would appreciate any help.

@egradman I'm with you w/ baz.
listening to cheesy 80s music.

was going to the genotours at viper room, but feeling tired out after bcla, the lolita tea room, shopping extravaganza and dinner.
also, who knows how I can get in touch with gwen stefani? I want to invite her to our bastard version of her song.
dinner? maybe.
waiting for hot water.
being very productive. feels good to be getting things done.
hmm. who was it that needed an apartment in LA? I have one open.
you know what, I'm voting for mccain just because I hate that obama cnn personalized piece of shit video.
not that my vote matters anyway. Calif is going to obama.
@kristeclectic ugh. is that from your fat neighbor? how did the houses turn out.
@daMongolian nope, it was you! congrats on getting your own place.
@kristeclectic keep on looking then.
Now all I need is a gorilla mask.
final costumes acquired for Nov 1 midnight performance at www.bootiela.com. You coming?
just had awesome mtg with R. Hutcheson about a painting I'm comissoning. I'm very excited. I love his style.
it's doggy time.
the dog prefers to lick the left nostril. out we go on the walk!
my mac has a grey screen with a question marked file folder flashing on it. what does it mean?
@dewelch k will try. @robforgod @Jory don't have boot cd. :( @tyfn hope it's not crash. @kellysims local booting.
@dewelch battery was already dead. I think it was heat related. it was hot yesterday.
now the mac screen is all grey - nothing at all. is it dead? did I actually kill the mac?
getting massive hits to my blog looking for "goodbye letters". I wonder if it's because of all the layoffs?
@sconstantine well only for macs apparently. I've never killed a thinkbook (my computer of choice). And I put them through hell and back.
@robforgod what's the reset button?
@will_chase it didn't do that with the question mark - but it did it just a bit ago. :(
@robforgod thanks trying it out now.
my mom just called to tell me she survived her first internet date. (from craigslist. LOL. she's telling me about it now.
whoops. tried to call apple, got paramount instead.
ok, now I am seriously considering using this black macbook as target practice. or maybe I will just put it on the shelf to gather dust.
@daMongolian yeah. I'm just shutting it dow for the timebeing. I'll deal with it later.
@pbailey I just assume it should work. that's what all their marketing says. But I have had nothing but trouble with this fruit. anyway....
thanks everyone for all the mac help/troubleshooting. I'm giving up and either taking it to mac store, letting a friend try to fix it.
@Nexeus love it. here's mine: http://lolinator.com/lol/www.heathervescent.com
reminds me of http://www.gizoogle.com/ I loved that.
this was a v productive day. now what?
in case you missed my FB feed. here's my guide to being Aeon Flux for Halloween: http://tinyurl.com/5dpv6d
listening to soft rock on night stand songs
@JasonCalacanis J. Geils Centerfold! http://tinyurl.com/37msrj
I don't know what to think. Mom is sending me pics of guys she is meeting on craigslist. OMFG Mom! Do I buy her match.com account?
@mikeprasad re: fireworks - might be time to invest in a a fireproof suit. I personally always love fireworks, even when aimed at me.
@urlgrl well maybe not match.com specifically, but what is a good online dating site (I have never used any). need halp!
@urlgrl well I don't think CL is necessarily bad, I just have never used for dating.
@Viss borrow, I got my own. ;) roman candle war anyone?
@twitternebbish isn't twitter web 2.0?
@urlgrl yeah, well dates. I hate looking for them anyway. Luckily I look for them like once every 10 years. ;P
@Viss I think we'd have to go outside of SD for that. But sure! I have other stupid fire ideas I've stolen and a friend just refreshed my
magnesum supply. bwahahaha.
created my first zazzle shirt - a happy skeleton. You may find it humorous. http://www.zazzle.com/heathervescent I know you want to buy it.
@urlgrl yeah. I am a long term relationship girl. I've been pretty lucky in this life.
@twitternebbish gotcha. I think I only pay for (hate to admit) typepad. closed down my basecamp acccount.
with a choice, I think I would probably take a client side app - even as much as I love the DHTML.
@Viss I got lots of ideas. plus I am crazy and have a lot of costumes and ahem "props". carkill: http://flickr.com/photos/heathervescent ...
unfort my camera batteries died before we lit the cars on fire. :(
@Viss porn for me: http://flickr.com/photos/heathervescent/sets/72157607271250997/ (sfw)
on way 2 dinner, found awesome halloween decorated house. 828 Fuller near WeHo. 5 animatronic spiders + much more! ok4trick/treat stop tmrw
@Viss then go to genmay.com. that's part of my "day job". LOL.
"all of your promises, knew you'd never keep.... why do I believe" the cheezy 80s continue
@Viss s'all good now.
@kjkjerstin are those actually shoes?! or socks?
god clouds over hollywood this morning
@life_enthusiast I think that's a great idea! I will join you!
@kristeclectic great idea. I will!
just realized that the beegees and jameriquoi are cut from the same musical cloth. no wonder I like them both. (it's a totally 70s morning)
@yoms my dog has taken the habit of sleeping with his head on the pillow as soon as someone leaves the bed. I admit, it's so cute.
my spooky Halloween t-shirt: http://www.zazzle.com/heathervescent
@BenSpark thanks. and zazzle is giving $3 off until Nov 4. It's a deal!
@stevepavlina exactly!
@jovino you are in LA? and you didn't tell me? a little vescent will sure to cheer you up!
finally breakfast, just tried coffee soy "milk" with cereal. quite good. now, where is my checkbook?
Waiting in a very short line for a pinks hot dog after shooting photos of a very decorated halloween house.
@robforgod I gave up on it for now. Too much happening this weekend to deal with it.
