I'm watching the sky darken as the sun eases behind the hills... tonight is a Maxfield Parish evening; the yellow glow of the street lights along the palm tree lined dolores st. are contrasting beautifully with the cold, deep blue sky ( Read more... )

It's been a long time, longer online than in my journal (thankfully I've keep some kind of written introspection going). Things have been in the works; I'm putting together a print portfolio for an interview at Kala Arts in Berkeley - they have an awesome printmaking studio, and for a monthly fee artists can have 24 hour access. I can't wait to ( Read more... )

...because this shit's still on and I've washed my face four times already! Well, the pics will be posted as soon as they are developed, I think the best reaction came from Geoffrey, who did a double take and exclaimed and laughed and grabbed me in a bear hug ( Read more... )

Today is the bacar holiday party (yup, it is february) and I'm dressing in drag for it... I've got a skirt and some girly tops, heels and nail polish... Bridget will be doing my hair and makeup, and I've shaved for the first time in over a year (last time for Halloween).

Had an awesome time on my visit home to Boston... got to see the cousins, my pals from Sandrines, the fam... and I also experienced all the extremes of Boston weather (one day it was in the teens with wicked (you can tell I just went home) wind chill, the next it was 60 degrees and a massive wind storm, then it snowed!!!). It is SO good to be back ( Read more... )

2006, eh? I have big plans for you... going to learn how to ride a motorcycle, among other things. The eve of new years was spent working, and then there was after-hours at my place (until 5). Good times were had, I didn't drink too much because the night before I got plastered when Geoffrey and I went dancing (plastered is probably an ( Read more... )

Okay, this is why I love this city. I was just now walking to my favorite coffee house and a woman was putting a perfectly functional mountain bike outside her house with a FREE sign on it!
!!!!

So, I brought it back to my place, because even though I don't know how to ride yet, NOW I can learn!

AN AWESOME DAY TODAY
