See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

IN THE GIANT FAN!!! Mwahahaha.

I think I just got that you were suggesting he was in the house fan that scares you. Me=slow. And he can't get up there!

Man, I need to put in a call to get that checked out. I could really use the shit out of that thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That one guy? Who isn't Kotter or barbarino? Does he/she mean Horshack?

Freddie Boom Boom Washington, obviously.

A lovely time was had with the Industries, Martin friend-of-industry, Calli, and smonster, although it's crazy to think I hadn't seen Cor in person in something close to a decade.

So sorry about Frank, lisah.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeah. Although I think I found what I wanted-- the Monteleone.

Carousel bar!

Dinner was lovely, and the industrial friend's name is Martin iirc. I foresee Ms. Industries and amyth and I having looong sustainability gabfests.

Lisah, so sorry about your Frank.

msbelle, strength to you.

Glad flea got home okay.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Epstein? Washington?

"No, 'cause I do this:" (mimics standup bass) boom, boom, boom, boomboomboom

Aww, Little Juan. Truefax. Many's the time I offered to write an excuse for a kid who'd lingered at our house past curfew. I signed them StY's or StE's mother.

"Ooh! Ooh! It's a very popular name. It means 'the cattle are dying.'"

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

Carousel bar!

I was gonna say that! In fact, I think I still will.

Carousel Bar!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ginger, I'm going to see a doctor about it. It's clearly not going away on its own. I'll ask about Prilosec.

sarameg, Leo did that to me once. About two weeks after I'd gotten him, I came home and he was *nowhere*. I was frantic, until after about fifteen minutes of searching and calling, he walked in the kitchen, blinking and yawning. Later I discovered that he could crawl up *inside* the couch.

Health~ma for your mother, Cashmere.

"Help, there's a hog in my kitchen." Why do I remember that line decades later?

The shithead has been plastered to me ever since. It's like he knows he freaked me out (or that's his SOP 95% of the time I am home. )

Compassionately intolerant

The fire-scared kitty (Lou) came back yesterday! My next door neighbor put up signs, but had given up on the little guy making it back to her. She was convinced that he'd succumbed to smoke inhalation. There is much rejoicing and a lot of feeding up to do. It appears as if he didn't eat much all this time.

the Monteleone

It's such a lovely place...BUT, I stayed there in the mid 90s, during a very rainy year. I nearly died from a previously unknown mold allergy. God, I was sick. When the conference ended, I went to another (less expensive) hotel in the Quarter, expecting to leave at any moment.

Roughly 4 hours after leaving the Monteleone, I was totally fine. Lovely as it is, I'd never go back.

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

Fuck. 1994 was 16 years ago.

How is that possible?
