So, first off, I think I need to change the name of this series. “Outfit of the Day” isn’t really working for me, y’know? Don’t we usually wear just one outfit a day, anyway, jammies not withstanding? Maybe that was my ironic statement, though, ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1012 Me, DJ’ing from Georgetown Records/Fantagraphics (we share a store space) Last night, I had the terrific honor of DJ’ing an event at the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery!!! The multi-talented artist Dame Darcy was in town, playing some sea shanties with her adorable brother Matt, and signing her latest book Gasoline, ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1011 taken in the parking lot of the fantagraphics office So! I’m starting a new feature here at copacetic where I spotlight my outfits, but only on the days I make an effort, so trust me, this won’t be a daily feature on the site! Today’s outfit totally revolved around ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1010 So, I realized last night, I didn’t blog at all in February! Sadly, that was a really rough month, no doubt solidifying my really-difficult decision to close copacetique down for a while. At Tobin’s most recent vet visit, it was noted that he’s not losing weight… but he’s not gaining ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1009 As anyone who’s been following the blog knows, I’ve been really consumed with kitty-care lately. (If you haven’t, the quick summary is, my youngest kitty Tobin was diagnosed with liver cancer. His big sister, Ethel, had mammary cancer at the end of 2008, but she had the tumor ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1008 After two weeks of home treatments, Tobin visited the vet again yesterday for re-testing. I thought we were doing so well with his feedings — two syringes full of food, twice a day, twice the prescribed serving the doc originally suggested! Lately when I hug him, he feels ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1006 …but I can’t NOT share this! (Plus, they help more than just kitties…) My lovely friend Dixie’s blog alerted me to the fact that if you blog about a new Neko Case song, her label will donate $5 to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. I may have blogged about ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1005 HUGE THANK YOUS to everyone who’s been e-mailing, calling, tweeting, sending smoke signals, asking about Tobin!!!! You guys are so sweet and thoughtful, and your kindness means so much to us right now… so I thought I’d do a quick Tobin update! This past week has been really rough. ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1004 * Blog post indeed titled after a Guided By Voices song since Tobin J. Kitten was indeed named after longtime GBV member Tobin Sprout… Yes, I do realize Tobin didn’t write that particular song. But, you know what? Screw you. So, yet again, I’m apologizing for not writing about ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1003 Happy New Year and all that! One of my resolutions is to try and write here more, although I fear that may have been one of my resolutions last year, too, and obviously that didn’t go very well! But anyway, one of the things I got myself for Christmas ... http://www.copacetic-zine.com/diary/index.php?p=1002
