If I only had a brain...

The sale on the NC house just closed!

WAHHOOOOOO! No more payments! No more repairs! No more abortive sales!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm going dark for the weekend. One of my girls father died on Tuesday, and two of us are going home to see her for the memorial.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Not apocalyptic, but: I have two really pretty formal dresses, and two formal dances. Help me decide which to wear to what.

Packing is happening in the bedroom, and everything except money-exchange has happened, so it must mean that I'm just a few hours away from a month's holiday in Vietnam (and also that I'm talking to you guys instead of helping with the packing).

I'm presumably going to be dark until November, though for all I know internet access is ubiquitous and cheap in Saigon the way it is everywhere else these days. But more to the point, as much as I love you guys and value your company, it'll be good to get away from eight or nine hours a day on the computer and actually, you know, hang out in the real world, and a very interesting part of it too.

I'll definitely check email every once in a while, so use johninsaigon@yahoo.com.au between now and the end of October.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I suppose most people already know, but just to make it official, I'm on the road for the next ten days on the great East Coast Swing.

I'll be checking email, but will probably only peek at Natter and Bitches while I'm gone.

I'll be back in SF Oct. 9th.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Note to Elena: I recieved the tapes. Thank you so very much. They just made a crappy day the best day ever, as I just discovered I made a C on my first paper, and took an exam that I was completely unprepared for and probably made a C on that as well. Which is the sliver of optimism I have left talking.

Thanks, dear.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Can I get a Woo, followed by a Hoo, and then some vibes?

I got the second interview for the job with the Thursday 1st interview followed by blood sugar crash. Tomorrow a.m., 9:30 PDT.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I am back in Boston after the whirlwind BreakFist In America tour. Special thanks to Brenda M. and Bridget S. who put us up in their Milwaukee & Minneapolis homes, and to Rio who showed up at our short, but concentrated (extra-clenched?) 30 minute set in Chicago. I've got lots of stories to tell, but first I have more than a few hours of TV to catch up on, and thousands of posts to skip and skim.

Also, I'm willing to host an Angel Premiere viewing at Chez Theremin with Very Special Guest David S. this coming Sunday. Unless someone else has already offered? Email me if innerested.
