I am now settled in Baltimore, Maryland. The cicadas are dying, and it actually makes me sad. I am afraid of bugs (especially TWO INCH COCKROACHES ON MY WALL) but these little suckers were cute. Harmless. And all they wanted to do was have buttsex with each other. But they can't fly worth a damn, so they kept on dying everywhere ( Read more... )

It's 515am and I am soon to be flying to Maryland. In search of the "perfect apartment". I've got some things helping me: namely, the coolest apartment hunter ever (Ms. Illeist) and a simple understanding of the layout of the land (I need a detailed map though) and some appointments to meet with renters ( Read more... )

I work with two women who drink 3 cans of Coca-Cola in a 6-8 hour time period, every day, 5 days a week.

Is this worse than drinking 3 beers a day?

I can't decide.

I wondered if anyone has experience taking a cat on an airplane. I have some tranquilizer pills, and he gets to stay below my seat.

Does anybody have any advice?

Today is going to be a great day. It might even be in the lower 80s. I am going to be a happy camper. I even enjoyed my drive to work, with NPR, more than I ever have before.

And then I'm babysitting, which means playing outside in the sunshine with three adorable boys, and getting paid for it.

I am going to be a happy camper.

I met Rufus Wainwright yesterday. I looked into his eyes and shook his hand.

The meeting confirmed my 10% crush on an adorable gay boy.

I work with someone who said she does not vote because she thinks it has to do with jury duty. She said that the only people who get jury duty are the ones who vote. And because she does not want to go to unpaid jury duty, she will not vote.

Does anyone know if this is true?

And, does anyone agree that this is absolutely ridiculous?

Gavin Newsome, I never thought you'd do anything that would impress me this much. Every morning that I drive to work and hear the discussions on NPR regarding gay marriage, I am reminded of your monumental decision to screw the ban. Here's to you.

I just made it back to CA, after what I think was the longest day of my life. I went on a trip to DC, Baltimore, and NYC. With a 3 hour time change backwards, and a 5 hour delay at the airport before the final leg home (although spent with a friend)... it was a longass day, indeed ( Read more... )

OKay, so I just accidentally replied three times to my previous thread under "illeist". Do not be afraid, it was me. Illeist is my friend whose computer I am using, and I forgot that she was logged in.

I'm sure it's all very clear now, isn't it?
