My cousin and I have been having an ongoing theoligical argument off and on for several years. She is born-again and we have differing opinions. Well. I was not really putting 2 and 2 together when she started sending me various email forwards about Iraq and voting Republican and whatnot until I sent her a reply to one she sent that is an alleged letter from a soldier talking about all the great things we have accomplished in Iraq and that the people want us there, etc., telling her that she could send me all the propaganda she wanted but I am never voting for that man. Well. Hello. I guess I never realized that she is Christian Right! What a wake-up. She called me a "leftist" and accused me of not being interested in facts or truth, among other things. I sent her a rather heated, but pretty informed, response and haven't heard back. So in her honor, here is this week's title:
BRING BACK THE BUSH

Well. my week has been kind of death-ish. Wendy's sister O.D.'d and Manny's mom died of cancer. Get this, not only did Manny not know his mom was sick (it was a quick one), she died on Monday and he wasn't told until Friday! Someday I have to find out who to really hate in his whack little family. Of course, he is being manly and stoic and doesn't want me to comfort or assist him in any way, which leaves me helpless. Wendy, of course, talks everything out so is processing well. Grieving, but processing. It helped to find out her sister had been lying about being clean and had been using again for a long time. We thought she had had a slip and just took too much.

Naturally I can't think of porn for this kind of thing, so I will concentrate on politics. Can Dubya look any more stupid? Will Kerry (spookily initialed JFK) be able to oust the bastard? Will he just be another kind of bastard? Is Iraq the new Vietnam? Will America be saved?
PRESIDENT - Horny Slutty President's Gives A Cum Shot Business

I know a lot of people think Woody Allen is a pervert. I wonder what he'd think of this!
HANNAH DOES HER SISTERS

I forget that not everyone thinks like I do and have been a bit surprised when people I think are fairly liberal are repelled by my announcement that Mike and Abel got married(Mike and Abel are my housemates - Mike and I have been friends for 20 years). I actually took time off work to go be their witness and photographer. Later that very day the weddings were stopped. It was wonderful - seeing my best friend, who had been looking for love for so long, taking those vows with a man truly in love with him and vice versa. How can that not be good? Are all those reality wedding shows not desecrating the institution of marriage? Britney was "married" for 55 hours - the first gay couple married had been together for 51 years when they were finally wed. Abel has a lot to say about it - namely that if he is not enough of a citizen to get married then he is not enough of one to pay taxes. Hmmm...
HOMO SAPIENS

I am at work and can't go on the porn site to find you a title. I can tell you a porn story, sorta. Mainly that if you are watching porn with a guy with a dvd player, the whole movie lasts maybe 10 minutes and the whole train of the story is lost. Chapter Skip is very different from Fast Forward. With Fast Forward you can be much more selective than with Chapter Skip (or whatever it's called). I was looking forward to whole scenes I never even saw a speck of (it was something I'd seen before, one of the Devil In Miss Jones series, I think #3 or #4). Oh well, the one with the remote is the one with the power.

My housemate Abel summed up the gay marriage debate by pointing out that what is primarily happening all over the country when Gavin is on the news is, "He's cuuuuute! Is he gay? No? He's cuuuuute!".
MARRIAGE AND OTHER FOUR LETTER WORDS

Okay, here's your title: ANY DORM IN A STORM
Here is a picture of MY dorm in the storm

Well better late than never I guess. I am so out of the loop. Was nice to see you club members that were at Chef's tribute. I am currently making curtains for my mighty man Manny and sometimes I wonder why I volunteer myself for such grueling excercises. Making him go to the fabric store was worth it, at any rate. He was traumatized but we got through it. Anyway, sorry I didn't post on time.

Well, nothing quite suited the current situation. Hoist a glass for our dear departed Club member and his widow, and I'll be back in form next week.

Well I hope you all had a good time and got lots of presents, whatever you were celebrating. I played Boggle for about a hundred hours, intermingled with Scrabble and Kismet (kind of like Yahtzee). Seems like not many people play games anymore and I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that my honey is into the Boggle/Scrabble thing. Plus we plan to learn chess, since he has a nice chess set, and the only time I played I beat the guy teaching me and he wouldn't play with me again. Talk about a sore loser. It is very pleasant to sit at the table with a snack, a beverage, and a loved one or two, with some Dean Martin Italian Love Songs on the stereo, and use the old gray matter to have fun. Also went to see Peter Pan, which was surprisingly dark and full of smoldering pre-teen hormonal action, and quite the cool Hook.
So here is your title. Please try not to live up to it completely in that you find yourself waking up with a hangover and the wrong sex from your orientation in your bed.

OK, enough grief already. I know I have been a slacker - mostly I never know what day it is until it's too late. Anyway, you all have fun this Christmas and I'll make it up to you next year.

What are YOU going to be for Hallowe'en??

AACK! I forgot! I'm at work, which is in a public place, so I can't forage for a good porn title. Sorry. I'll give ya two next week, how's that?

I voted for Dan. He got more than 2500 votes! Go Dan. Oh well. We'll see.
THE PENETRATOR

I'm struggling with a pulled hamstring. Ow. My left knee is a bit stiffish. I got one good excercise to do but if any of you have any ideas I'd love to know. JAPANESE PANTIES BELOW THE KNEES

Somebody who doesn't know me but knows I sew decided to farm my services out to some folks with chihuahuas that have piddling problems so can't be taken out into polite society. The pooch owners want little diapers made. Now, I have nothing against networking and all but this woman called me, a virtual stranger who is going to teach her how to sew, at 8:15 in the morning, on my day off. The message sounded like we had had a prior doggie diaper conversation so I thought she had me confused with someone else. But no, she just thought I could use a bit of work. Needless to say, I am going to pass on that one. I would have to measure the dogs and make prototypes, and they can buy them on the internet for much less. Mostly I just thought it was a bit presumptuous, especially calling before 10.
SHAVED POWDERED AND DIAPERED

Not much going on here. Went to hear my favorite new Hawaiian band, Na Palapalai, who were great, Read a book by TNSC Robot's fave, Joe R. Lansdale, and I can see the attraction. Otherwise the days are work, home, tv, read, sleep. Eat. Got a minor but painful and annoying hamstring injury. Boring. So this week I am reverting back to my old technique of just feeding you a goofball title.
MOULIN SPLOOGE

The other day I went on a job interview at Shane Company. I realized that Tom Shane is kind of a genius. I had never actually BEEN to a Shane Company store, but I have sure been aware of them forever. KFOG used to preface every Shane ad with a clip of a guy saying "It's that man again!". We all know that geeky voice, that ridiculous circular grammar ("give her a gift for which she will forever be grateful for" kind of thing). If those spots had been spoken by someone with a smooth radio voice, they would probably have been completely forgotten in moments. Anyway, the store was lovely, they have nice jewelry, and I'm sure they hated me. If I work there I will have to quash my personality and wear suits. Sorry, gang, I guess you won't have a friend in the diamond business.
JISM JEWELS

Not much going on. Come to my art show reception if you are anywhere near Pacifica on Sunday (see post from 7/9 for deets). Mostly I am just feeling that with all the bruhaha going on in the news, this is the best title: CLUSTERFUCK

California is a laughingstock once again....
