Bailey: Fierce and Feral Lounge Lizard
I guess I never thought to post about this, but a few weeks ago, I went to hang up one of my winter coats. As I shook it out before putting it on a hanger, a mouse came running out of one sleeve! It made a beeline for the door, but I was sufficently freaked out enough to have a single thought: grab Bailey. So, I grabbed the kitten, the fierce ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I haven't really had too much to say lately, partly because nothing that exciting has happened, partly because I've been too depressed to really care. Last week I started a temp job at an insurance agency that was supposed to be a long term job, and I hated it but figured I'd stick it out through Christmas and earn enough money to pay my rent for ( Read more... ) -
It was bound to happen sometime. . .
I live like a bachelor. I'm not kidding. If I was still working steadily, my fridge would be full of take-out containers and beer, with maybe a few condiments on the door, possibly some Gatorade for hangovers. Really, I'm not kidding. This has happened. But alas, I am poor, and always make enough food for myself that I will get to have ( Read more... ) -
To all my newyorkers friends
I'm starting to get together my birthday party plans, which are at the end of January. I know it's early, but I've got to pick a place and get myself together before Christmas, so that I can figure out how to pay for certain things. Anyway, I'm asking for email addresses. All comments are screened, so the emails shouldn't show up, but if you're ( Read more... ) -
Have you heard?
There's a special on PBS tonight, some Doo Wop concert from Atlantic City. Right now, the Duprees are singing "Have You Heard?", before was the Platters and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".
I lied. The Duprees are now singing "You Belong to Me." I miss my mother. By all rights, I should be seven years old, listening to Don K. Reed and the Doo Wop ( Read more... ) -

Ten Random Things About Me
I was raised in science fiction publishing, but don’t actually read much of it.
I am obsessed with Mary, Queen of Scots. Don’t know where it came from, but I buy every book possible about her.
I once tried to translate the Lord’s Prayer from Anglo-Saxon to modern day English when I ( Read more... ) -
Ralph J. Felice, May 7, 1944 - Nov. 24, 1991
My father died the day after my mother's funeral. My grandmother, I'm guessing, had insisted on having a viewing for my mother, even though she hadn't wanted one, and my father's side of the family was there, as was my "step-dad" and his family. My father's side of the family didn't like them, and vice versa, and I was caught in the middle not ( Read more... ) -
Saturday's Party, because I forgot on Sunday.
There was much drama surrounding C.'s birthday party this weekend. I invited a friend, the friend I went to Culture Club with. He and I are buds, we have fun when we go out, and we only hooked up that once (and he's man enough to admit that I know more about football than he does!). I invited him to come, I figured it'd be no biggie, and C. was ( Read more... ) -
Myriad of experiences.
I've discovered that when I'm over one health ailment, two more pop up in it's place for me to contend with. It's all part of the ongoing "She's got no health insurance so let's see if we can catch pneumonia" thing my body's got going on. Seriously. I had health insurance for years, and only felt that scary sick once.
My temp agency has pulled ( Read more... )
