the true question is are you being played? I had a convo with a male friend about certain females he knows and whether they are playing him or not – one sends nutty text messages that are very provocative but says she just wants to be friends, another wants to be taken out to dinner but not kissed – it seems a little suspcious. I remember telling a man that I feared he was playing…
What do you do when rhetoric from a dear friend begins to be overlayed with misogynist themes and when you ask this person to stop this kind of talk with you, he tries to insinuate you are the one pulling the themes out of context and in the same breath, professes that “all of his men friends believe” this way therefore there is truth to these themes. What if you are in your forties and…
So in all their infinite wisdom Bell South decided to rewire all of Midcity thereby keeping us without landlines till most likely August. Then they took it upon themselves to take control of the end of the neutral ground on Ursulines and Hagan – Ursulines being one of the, if not the, most beautiful street in Midcity – they ripped out jasmine that had been growing there for decades and was perhaps the largest jasmine…
Windy day and shaky bike ride in the morning to start the day. I ran into M walking around the bayou – his much needed exercise to assuage the problem ticker. L and I argued over the same argument and finally he said we exorcised it once and for all. Let’s hope so. I went on errands that took me here and there – paint samples for the LaLa to show S when he comes…
E was right – I do not take risks – a history of having a man to cling to as I am finishing with the man I am with. There are things about yourself you may not like to hear, but they are worth knowing. G left for Knoxville trying to run from a truth she sees in herself because she does not know how to get around it or fix it. I figure I…
This morning I went downstairs to see a dark ominous cloud hanging over the Can and I walked quickly to catch up with N and just a few steps away the sky broke open in this wondrous blue with white sharp rays coming from behind fat puffy clouds – N said, “when I went to catechism as a child those were always the pictures of god – as in Tennesse Williams’ god comes quickly” –…
Items like these items could bring you down: From the NYT: Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales suggested on Thursday for the first time that the president might have the legal authority to order wiretapping without a warrant on communications between Americans that occur exclusively within the United States. The attorney general made his comments, which critics said reflected a broadened view of the president’s authority, as President Bush offered another strong defense of his decision…
Darlene has taken over Cliff’s mail route and I have not received a piece of mail since Cliff left. What goes on? I asked D and she said, I thought you moved. I just wanted to beat my head against the mahogany column of the LaLa house. Then yesterday Darlene was sick and another mailman was delivering and he said I had no mail because Darlene had sent it all back. Why I moan, I…
Looking around at everyone that came out for the first Wednesday concert – and George Porter in such fine form – and I know I am in heaven – a community who knows how to enjoy music and life and forget all your troubles forget all your cares and go downtown – later sushi since Slice was so busy – met my twin not in looks – turned down the date even though the last…
Today was outstanding – a cool morning and the Bean and I walked around the bayou solo till we caught up with K who was waiting camera in hand to take a photo of Renny’s tail since he is doing a series for the TP on things that remind him of storms. So nice outside I came back and went for an easy run and realized this might be the last of these kind of…
