I was delighted at first to find out that the newest winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race was a Freak.... like me. Sharon Needles looks like me (or at least like I did when I was her age). She wear black lipstick and freaky contacts and used to hang out in punk squats, and I was thrilled.

Then I read thisWell, fuck ( Read more... )

1. Looks like we can get an inexpensive ride-on mower so E doesn't have to push a mower around our lot, which is obscenely large for inside the beltway ( Read more... )

Yep, it's that time... we are about to get in the car and leave for the far, frozen North. It's become a tradition to post this here, so I'll probably keep doing it long after every one of you has abandoned LJ :)

Hope those of you who are travelling do so safely, and that everyone can find some enjoyment in the season. Hugs all around!

Tally ho!

Because I need a stronger dose of Good Things than just three right now:

I am not in the position of being 40 and having to try to find a partner who would be compatible with me.
I am 40, and my parents are both still alive and well.
I have friends who insist that we join them for Christmas Eve, and I know that will be a joyful occasion ( Read more... )

1. I sent off my board game materials to the printer! It should be ready by tomorrow. This is an enormous relief ( Read more... )

It's a gorgeous night out. E and I took a walk through the neighborhood, which was pleasant except for the irritating pain I always get in my hip. Strangely, it's not a problem on treadmills, but on a sidewalk it's nasty.

If you're in the DC area, consider getting out there! Won't be too many more nights like this.

1. NoVA reimbursed me for the tuition over payment, so we can pay bills this month ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain to all!

I've had no actual comments here in a while, but I just got two spam comments in less than half an hour. I really fear that LJ is dying. I admit to my own guilt in spending too much time on FB, but I've made some attempts to maintain a presence here, too. I really hope it doesn't just go away.

All I can say (without giving spoilers) is Squeeeeeeee!
