So I'm working on this thing. A project. It's this back-and-forth writing-sculpture-theater thing that I'm doing with a friend of a friend. It has to do with the Holocaust in a roundabout sort of way, and it's going to be awesome. You're going to have to take my word for it.
I'm knocking together a prop for the imaginary stage that we're working on ( Read more... ) -

So I've been reading this blog for the past few days (link via dietrich 's blog). She talks a lot about the image of the dominatrix, and how it has very little to do with the actual desire of the dominant woman. I keep turning the ideas around in my head, because a lot of that rings true for a lot of drag characters that I know, and to a certain extent for ( Read more... ) -

Every few minutes I post another comment to the Ynet article about the closing of the information center where I work. It takes a little bit of time before comments pass moderation, and during that time I tidy up my room a bit and invent another alter-ego. As the evening wears on and I get into character I use more and more exclamation points. My ( Read more... ) -

My boss invited me over to her house yesterday and presented me with about 20 pairs of pants formerly belonging to her daughters. This sort of thing happens to me quite a bit. I don't know if I give out packrat vibes or if I just look raggy, but most of my closet is cast-offs from other people's cleanouts.
My boss is cool and I like her a lot, but ( Read more... ) -

I went through the box of CDs at work today. The Center has probably been collecting them for years. There aren't just CDs in there but also JAZ disks (remember JAZ disks? And how we thought they had so much storage space?)- and other media that we can't read and will be a pain to transfer to something digital. My job is to save the images in the ( Read more... ) -
Scheduling error
I got double-booked for both a demo against the war and a drag show. Same city, exact same time. Wonderful. On the one hand, my work ethic says to do what I've already committed to- the show. Bailing out on the organizers would be a deeply shitty thing to do, esp. since the line is a group/community effort and relies greatly on volunteer work to ( Read more... ) -
So you seem to be gay on Facebook, what's up with that?
When I first started identifying as bi (6 years ago, jesus has it been that long?) I told my parents almost immediately. It was important to me that they know, even if I didn't understand completely what was going on myself. I was a little less clear with my extended family. I figured that one, it was none of their business and two, I didn't know ( Read more... ) -

The last apartment I rented was 5 floors up and faced the wind. That meant that in winter the weather outside was pretty much the weather inside, and I have the "huddled around the kitchen stove for warmth" stories to prove it. The windows in my room had old wood frames, and the wind whistling through them sounded fairly exactly like human ( Read more... ) -

One of the files that I'm currently working on is essentially a long list of donors to the museum and the insurance of their donations. As I go over their names and locations- Jewish and New York, respectively- I can't help but imagine what they must have been like, a little bit. The addresses are conspicuously wealthy- Yonkers, Hamptons. One ( Read more... )
