a mouth full of power tools....

...and also weird curves and sneaky cavities, according to my dentist. It's just as well I realized I couldn't make rehearsal tonight, since my face is still askew.

Not that I'm actually complaining -- anaesthetics, yay. Hurrah for nitrous oxide, too. And also a big brown fleecy blanket and Josh Groban warbling "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."

Am a little grouchy from having to cancel evening and weekend plans to catch up on work. That said, hearing from clients and getting on with the work is good. (Also, it's not all work: last night also involved making two pounds of pesto last night and plotting part two of a gift-fic.) Onwards.

Why I ♥ Nashville, #4

Because Church Street happens to be where "so many things gay reside" (to quote Church Street Freedom Press), including a GLBT bookstore, Tribe and Red, Play, and Blue Gene's ("putting neighborhood bar feel in the gay district of Church Street").

The Hustler Hollywood store is also on Church. The irony does indeed amuse a good many locals.

I've not visited any of these places myself, but I'm very glad that they are here and thriving. For that matter, I live within walking distance of the Lipstick Lounge in "quaint-but-queer East Nashville" -- it's too blessed loud for me to bother, but our dogsitter likes breakfast there.

Also, I keep running into people from my church at what could be called my other church on Church, the downtown public library.

---

Speaking of church, a couple of hymns have been running through my head tonight as I work and clean. I think some of it's the drugs (had to resort to some Midol before dinner), some of it's frustration at my limits, and some of it's fretting about and over various kindred spirits. FWIW...

( Though with pain I made my way... )

If you have known love,
give some back
to a bruised and hurting world.

Go in peace.
