And So It Goes ...

Good Morning, Kittens.
 
Yesterday, I did laundry.  Yay.  I can haz clean clothes.  Life is good.  Not much else is going on.  I am semi-busy preparing for my work trip to Denver next week.  I'll be there Monday through Thursday at the E2S2 Symposium.  Should be a networky good time. 
 
Work might be slightly busy today because of that.  We'll see ... I am already in a battle with the printer which refuses to print out my document.  Or any document.  Or delete any documents in its memory.  GAH.  And, naturally, the document I am trying to print has been formatted in such a way that I can not save the god damn thing.  Why does everything have to be so complicated?
 
After work, I am going shopping for a swimsuit.  I have (foolishly?) agreed to appear in a bloggery swimsuit calendar, which is kinda funny if you think about it because (1) I don't like to swim, (2) I kind of hate bodies of water - oceans, lakes, rivers, (3) I don't own a decent swimsuit, and (4) I have some major body image issues.  I'll figure something out. I'm toying with a couple of ideas that are sort of funny.  And, SCGB has agreed to be my Official Photographer. 
 
Later this evening, I *may* be meeting Ray to see the 8:30 showing of Ran at the E Street Cinema.  However, I am really tired and not sure if I want to sit through a 2.5 hour movie at that time of night.  Also, Ray was not sure he'd be able to go. I may text him later to see if he would be up for meeting for an early dinner.  Then, I can go home and chill.
 
This weekend is Pride.  I will be heading to the Parade on Saturday, which will be the sum total of my Pride-related activities this year (well, except for all the celebratory sympathy fucks with strangers I will be having*).  On the plus side, I am trying to coordinate a Parade (or Post-Parade) Rendezvous with His Purpleness, PRINCE!!!!!  (OK. Actually, it's Polt.  But, still, purple!)
 
I'm planning on turning it a bit early on Saturday, because on Sunday I need to head over to the pottery studio.  Open studio has started and I need to get my clay on!
 
So, that's it for now.  Have a beautiful day and Happy Pride Weekend!  *smooches*
 
*for those of you who are new to the blog and have not yet grasped my odd sense of humor ... I'm KIDDING. Srsly.  I won't be having tons of celebratory sympathy fucks with strangers this weekend.  I will be having celebratory sympathy fucks with people I know**.
 
**I'm kidding about that too. *sheesh*

    I found your blog circuitously but now I'm a fan, er, KITTEN. Yeah, that's me. I'm a kitten. Purrrrrr. Love your sense of humor and the blog title. I used to live in San Francisco and I'm not that far from New Orleans so EVEN THOUGH I NOW LIVE IN HELL (otherwise known as southern Mississippi) I've celebrated Pride for years--we have a gigantic rainbow banner hanging from the eaves of the house but of course all my Tea Party/former KKK neighbors just think it's purty. Celebratory sympathy fucks are the best. Or were the best. I'm married now and that's a whole 'nother story. Come over and visit me sometime, sweetie.

    well, except for all the celebratory sympathy fucks with strangers I will be having,

    I'm just trying to decide on whose side the sympathy lies. :-P Have fun.

    Brilliant, Tam.

    You gonna come up for NYC Pride at the end of the month? I've strong-armed Josh into coming with me. Enrico will be, too. We could have fun watching them be appalled for four solid hours.

    Have a fantastic time this weekend! Take plenty of pictures with Polt (and anyone else you meet up with) so I can be totally jealous.

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

Weekend Update: Thanks for the Memories, NYC!

Image
Good afternoon, kittens! I am back from an ... eventful trip to New York City. I wish I could post more pictures, but, as you will learn in a bit, there is a Very Good Reason. On Friday, after work, I hopped on the Amtrak. It was uneventful ... except I lost my hat. Sad. I really liked that hat. Once, I arrived at Penn Station, I transferred to the subway and rode up to 50th Street. David was attending a show, so I found a little Irish bar, had a beer, and waited for the show to end. Eventually, he found me and we had a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was yummy and I have completely forgotten the name. Lime something? Lime Jungle? Something like that anyway. Then, we went back to David's fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. This is the kitchen: Even though it is bigger than my entire apartment, I am not jealous. The next morning, we got up and went to IKEA. David forced me to carry a 7000 pound futon frame for 58 miles through all 42 Burroughs of New York City. Seri...
