This past Friday was all about me, me, me. Yesterday was all about Goblin, Goblin, Goblin and her new line of fashions and accessories (more about this later).
Today will be all about Rob, Rob, Rob (with a little bit of me thrown in at the end).
Rob had a concert of his songs last night. Ordinarily, I would have trumpeted this from the rooftops beforehand in an effort to pack the house, but it actually sold out a week ago. There was even a waiting list for those unlucky enough not to RSVP in time, poor devils.
The show went off without a hitch, and it was breathtaking. The first half featured the best of Rob’s more lighthearted and wacky songs, performed by Lisa Howard, Natalie Moore, Courtney Morris, David Ranson, and Jonathan Rayson (remember these names, because they will be in lights before too long). The second half was a selection of songs from Vanishing Point, performed by two actresses whose names are already in lights: Alison Fraser and Julia Murney. Emily Skinner was supposed to be in it also, but she was in a car accident, so Courtney and Natalie split her role between the two of them. This was all absolutely mesmerizing.
After the show, an old friend of Rob’s, whom I had not yet met, came up to me and said, “I know you’re Rob’s other half. I sat behind you and saw you looking adoringly over at him through the whole show!”
Which is true, and if someone identified Rob in that manner someday, I would not complain.
Perhaps all of this is too much information, but I am so proud of my brilliant musical genius of a boyfriend. I’ll be my usual cynical self tomorrow.

Back to the Goblin Store . . . I have been asked if it is some sort of joke, and I suppose it seems as if it could be, but it isn’t. I take a lot of time away from my paid work (I don’t have a full-time job, so I get paid by the hour by freelance clients) to write in this journal every day, and I thought I’d try a creative way of making a little extra dough to live on. Many bloggers put out PayPal “begging bowls” to solicit small donations, but I thought this was marginally more tasteful, plus you get to see Goblin’s delightful face every day. How can you lose? If you don’t want anything, just ignore it. Unless I actually become homeless, I’m not going to stop writing here as often as I have been. Thanks to everyone who has shown their support so far, or can be persuaded to do so!
Happy Tuesday!
