Hop a train… (random editorial just to keep my mind sharp)

So the day after my “me date” to the Bitch + The Exciting Conclusion concert a couple nights ago I decided to take a mini-me vacation to the big city of Austin TX for yet another B+TEC concert.  I know it’s repetitive but I’m telling ya, The Bitch puts on an amazing show! So I hopped a train.  It was a smooth little 4 hour trip, I filled it with like a season of 30 Rock and that newer Final Fantasy movie that makes me cry *every* time.  I really just unwound, you know?  I had never been on a […]

it’s drunk and I’m 2:30

Tonight my favorite indie musician Bitch played with her band The Exciting Conclusion at the local lesbian mega-dive “Sue Ellen’s”.  Even though I have seen that girl perform a few times before she never ceases to amaze me. To set up the stage I was there by myself.  I was on a “me date”.  The friend I was going with ditched out on me so instead of just saying screwit and staying home I decided to take myself out, PAY for parking, BUY myself dinner, and GET MYSELF AT LEAST A LITTLE DRUNK and maybe take advantage of myself.  Which […]

Fat and grease slathered on a solid carb bun…

It’s currently 8am and I’ve been awake since 6 so considering I didn’t go to bed until 2 I would say that my insomnia has definitely kicked back up.  Every morning around this hour I watch Lucy and am perpetually surprised by their blunt demonstration of domestic violence. What a jackass Ricky was!  Fred would have never DARED lay a hand on Ethyl but you know that Cuban motherfucker beat the shit out of that poor redhead woman on the daily.  He must have had some GOOD dick though because she loved the hell out of him. The past few […]

The Death of the Christian Right…

Last night we all watched and participated in a monumental moment in history.  No, I don’t mean the whole “black president” thing.  What I’m talking about is the beginning of the end for the Christian Right. What is the Christian Right beyond an outdated means of saying you’re superior without giving any real reason or motivation for that superiority?  It’s a symbol.  It’s a symbol of more than Christianity; in fact it has nothing to do with religion what so ever.  It has to do with power and those who hold it, and it appears that power has now shifted. […]

Vote Today!

For the past 6 months or so since the candidates were announced I’ve been waking up virtually in a cold sweat worried that McCain may win the race.  Today that will hopefully be put to rest. I can’t help it, the election’s totally drawn me in.  I resisted but I’m an American IE creature of influence so here I am watching the news instead of I Love Lucy.  I don’t think Good Morning America will beat Roseanne at my 8am election… Anyway, I think the “big guns” that each candidate pulls out at the last minute are fun.  It’s usually […]

I know what boys like… 3 convincing FTM’s.

About a year or two ago I caught a documentary on Logo called “Transamerica” which fallowed several people through their gender reassignment process.  Although I was extensively intrigued there was one section that really disturbed me… At one point in the movie two female-to-males were giving their stories.  They were both living as full-time men and were fairly attractive men at that.  As I watched the documentary the two started to wrestle and I will admit there was a definite stir in my nether regions… “HOLY SHIT,” I thought, “What was that?”  I didn’t know what to think of my […]

Haunted House with Ghostly Take Out – Happy Halloween!

Last night, to celebrate Dias De Los Muertos proper I went to the Reindeer Manor haunted house.  I definitely recommend, this is the first haunted house that’s offered take out… This has to have been one of the coolest haunts I’ve been to.  Given my true love for haunted houses was just sparked this year and I don’t have a lot to compare it to I was totally blown away.  The property is out in the woods which are introduced by a hay ride to hell from the parking lot to the actual haunt grounds setting a truly frightening stage […]

Bodies… all… the… bodies…

Today is Dia De Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.  When I lived in Las Cruces, NM this was a pretty big deal. In the antiquated town of Mesilla on the southern outskirts of Las Cruces they shut down the town square and people from all over the area set up alters for their deal loved ones.  It’s really cool to walk around and check out the different altars, each one laid out with the favorite items of their deceased.  Its hard not to eat the food laid out for them too because it’s always something really awesome and […]

Yup, I voted for the black guy!

Today I got in for early voting at almost 5pm on the last day of it.  I have to admit I was impressed with the turnout there, but the caliber of people that showed up when I did sent a pit straight to my stomach. I got a nice playlist consisting of ultra-liberal artists like Ani DiFranco, Bitch and Animal, Radiohead, U2… and isn’t it funny that neither Radiohead nor U2 are from the US but have very strong voices on US politics…  anyway, I zoned out hardcore. There was a cute guy standing with his Mom.  Or at least […]

Ignorant Bitch, Anonymous.

Working in a formal office environment has been a huge social transition for me.  I’ve gone from working on a one-on-one basis with people doing massage but now I’ve been thrown into multicultural clusterfuck of varying intellects.  One conclusion that I have deducted from working in an office setting is a support group needs to be formed, a group that a certain member of my office team would definitely fit.   Ignorant Bitch, Anonymous.   We’ll call it IgBitchAnon, you know like how they shorten it for the drunks.  This certain woman in my office…  every comment that she makes […]
