[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, WTF is up with the sudden hot for Pride weekend? I was all excited to finally have a Pride weekend where I wasn't sweating my ass off, but nooooooooooo. Though I did appreciate that at least it wasn't humid?
Went to the dyke march. Marched around. It was much more speechifying (beforehand) than I'm used to. BOOOOOOOORING. Skipped out in the middle ot have a drink with T (aka "Wallflower"). Fun. Then we marched. So, less anarchy than the DC one, but lots more people. Less chanting than I'm used to, too. I got some cheers going, which was fun, but couldn't remember most of the ones we used to chant (the favorite was "2-4-6-8, don't assume your daughter's straight, she's not, she's not, she's not she's not she's not", but "10% is not enough recruit recruit recruit" was also popular).
Eventually ended up back at my place with T and R (the "trolling for hos" one) for some drinks, snacks, and chatting. And then we headed out for dancing. Where OH MY GOD it was A FREAKING SWEATBATH. It must've been 100 degrees and so freaking humid in the club. I just about had heatstroke, adn I was wearing a small t shirt and a miniskirt. I left the other two there (though after some of our friends) and came home and took a cold shower. Good god.
Tomorrow, more pridefulness.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I call that pollen. Fucking trees.
Literally.

(((sj))), hugs for you, sucessful surgery wishes to your nephew. Try to breathe, and trust the doctors. I know you can't really stop worrying, but put that energy to something useful. Make something to send him, or his mom and/or older brother. And don't let yourself get caught in the spiral of worry--do something else when you realize you're futzing over things you can't affect. (((you))) again, just because.
Thanks, Beverly. You know me too well, with the worry. The surgery is actually going to be here in MA, so that it can be done by the same doctor who did his original surgery. So, I should be able to dote on him and spoil him a bit before he heads back home.

Mostly lurking...
Fucking trees.
In more ways than one!
GC, more hugs for your loss, but also YAYs for the new kitty! SO cute! CBD also thinks she is quite cute.
I missed Hec's birthday! Happy Belated Birthday, Hec!
{{{sj}}} I hope everything goes well for your nephew.
There was more, but I haven't had enough coffee yet.

The kid needing surgery is a sack full of lemons. This:

ETA: Yeah, that was probably a really dumb thing to say. But I'm really glad you will be able to be there for them, sj.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
In conclusion: WTF. No, really. WTF.
Yeah. Thursday and Friday were perfect days. This is gross. I mean, it could be worse. The humidity is low, and aside from the pollen the air is pretty good (the sky is blue and not hazy white, yesterday at least you could still see all the mountains clearly), but ugh. And why are all our heat waves falling on weekends this year? At work the AC is strong and I don't have to pay for it. Here we have a window unit that more or less makes the first floor livable but does nothing for the second, and I know I'll be feeling the pain again in my electric bill soon.

Omnis, that's great news about the potential work! Would it be in LA? If so, I'm even more excited.Yup, it would be LA more than likely. They also do the Toronto Film Festival, so it could be there too. But LA! YAY!

Susan, if the humidity is low, it would be possible to get relief by aiming fans at bowls of ice cubes, a sort of home-made evaporative cooler.

Heh.
