Been thinking about the rules – you know the relationship ones – and I’m somewhat confused by the rules I knew and the ones that exist in a gay relationship. Actually, I’m pretty sure none exist in a gay relationship because they are living outside of convention, so most cherry pick the rules. In your straight people, you’ll find the typecasts of faithful, philanderer, noncommital, jealous, giver, and taker and you find these all in…
Went to see this movie tonight and it was funny. The best part is that the fun started even before I went into the theater with the young guys going up to the counter and asking for tickets to “I love you, man.” Very cute.
I’m one of the luckiest women in the world. I truly believe that and I’m grateful for all the joy I have in my life and the countless blessings that come my way. I was speaking to a friend who works with disabled kids who have anything from autism to blindness and so on. She said when Santa came around this past holiday season and was making a list of what the kids want for…
The vet threw cotton balls directly at Arlene and she didn’t even flinch. She’s blind. A friend said her vet told her that as long as a dog can smell they have quality of life. I inched her pill towards last night while she was sleeping – it was in a smelly pill pocket – she woke and gobbled it. Ah, quality of life.
Wolfie, who a friend referred to as a pero pero, sits by Tatjana’s office door dutifully every day, waiting for her to come home. I had her come up to the office with me, slighting my usual mascot (Loca), but she stayed only for a while and then wanted to go wait by her mistress’s door. Dogs form a connection with one person in particular and although Loca knows Tatjana will walk her, and Wolfie…
While I was in New York, I had the most outstanding sushi – twice from Blue Ribbon across from the Time Warner Building and once at Omido on Broadway. Made me long for good sushi. Hard to come by in New Orleans. Sunday, I passed a new Wasabi right across from Russell’s Marina Grill by Robert E Lee. It looked like it was open already although I didn’t see anyone coming or going. Need to…
I bought this album from Rachael Yamagata off iTunes – it really is unabashedly tragic and perfect. Elephants If the elephants have past lives yet are destined to always remember It’s no wonder how they scream Like you and I they must have some temper And I am dreaming of them on the plains Dirtying up their beds Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads And how dare you send me…
We smudged the house last week before we left on our respective trips, hoping to rid ourselves of the gris gris of past baby failures and missteps in other areas. Then we had to resmudge today – the loss of Ele hangs in the balance, the past wrestles with our todays, the future is really quite bright given it’s precarious foundation. So we smudge to set our demons free and rejoice in what is good.…
I was reading Oprah this morning over tea before walking Loca. There was an article about straight women turning gay and most of them have kids in some configuration. I was looking at the ad in the front of the magazine that had a little black boy all dressed up in Ralph Lauren or something and I felt like the caption should have read The Next President. I had warm fuzzy feelings about us having…
Girls talk a lot. I’ve learned this simple fact being involved with a woman. A guy asked me how I was taking to being with a woman and I said, it’s the talking that really threw me. Nonstop. Da da da da da da da da da. I think I must have driven every taciturn man I was with out of their freaking mind with my constant yakety yak. But suddenly, without the voice right…
