I'm a licensed massage therapist (GA state licensed, nationally certified) bear in Atlanta, GA (As you've hopefully read in my bio). I work for myself and am always interested in hearing from folks (not just guys or gays or bears, tho that's my target market) who need or just want a good massage - either therapeutic or recreational.

If you aren't interested in massage, feel free to say howdy and browse around my journal anyway!

I am planning a move and want to unload a fair bit of stuff but yard sales are just not my deal.

I will list things here that are either for SALE (with price or OBO listed) and/or BARTER (we can figure out what to trade depending on your skills and/or barter-able items) or FREE just to come take away.

I will update as things are added / claimed / removed from my premises :)

All of these require that you A) come get them or B) live conveniently along my path (Northwest/North/Northeast sides of town). Email me and we'll figure it out.

FREE:

• Old but serviceable coleman igloo cooler 54qt, red
• Used patio dining set (4 chairs, large glass top table w umbrella, stone beige coloration) GONE!
  
• big stack of Men's Health/Exercise/Fitness magazines from recent years (no sticky pages either)
• A comic book long-box of National Geographic magazine (several years worth 1990's mainly)
• 78" pressboard bookshelf with cabinets and pull-down turntable platform, late 60's early 70's vibe.
• 2-shelf brown bookcase with sliding glass doors.  Its old but it works and keeps the dust off the books.
• 5 tray electric food dehydrator
• Large box of Halloween decorations, costume bits and toys for LARP/ haunted house, etc

SALE/BARTER:

• Juno 106 Keyboard with hardside carrying case and various pedals, cords, etc. It has the dreaded "6th key syndrome" but if you are handy its a good fixer-upper. $200 OBO

Too bad it wasn't a few decades sooner.

Bardic Entertainment: Knights of Cydonia - Muse

Sunday turned out to be quite a day - hung out with mad_piper and LJ ex-pat monarchprime for a while and then drove down to Lakewood to pay a massage visit to wendiegoers and kibbutz with sabrina_pandora. Their lovely abode is nestled cozily within the confines of a patch of gentrification surrounded by, shall we say, "Those Less Gentrified."

But talk about a nice tip! The ladies invited me to have dinner with them as they were taking the opportunity to grill out in the backyard - and let me tell you something boys, you ever get invited to dinner by these two, you *go*.

These gals sure can sling their meat! Dinner consisted of all five major food groups - steak, crab, lobster (!), chicken, and pork! Oh, and banana pudding for dessert. Jiminy Christmas was I ever stuffed, but damn it was good.

Right after dinner and just at sunset that thunderstorm rolled through, which give me one of the most spectacular drives home ever. The sun was still up but right on the horizon, lighting the retreating cloudwall from the side and underside...the front had left tattered remnants of cloud formation going in skewed directions of each other and the colors were surreal. Remember that strange lighting in the skies in Pitch Black? Kind of like the Glory of High Summer /Big Sky meets the End of the World? Yeah. Sullen burnt oranges and turgid maroons illuminated by harsh metallic silver and electric orange like a bonfire of sodium lamps. Phenomenal. Scratch that - Numenous. Luminous Numenous, even.
