Dear body o'mine,

We had enough time for 6 hours of sleep...so why did you decide 4 was more like it? You know we're going to suffer for this later.

*shakes head*

I feel it's my civic duty to point out (snagged from Joe. My. God.) that tomorrow is the Global Orgasm For Peace Day! Check out the information here: http://www.globalorgasm.org/

As the site says, "WHY? To effect positive change in the energy field of the Earth through input of the largest possible instantaneous surge of human biological, mental and spiritual energy."

There's a place you can click on to figure out the timing for your own time zone. Imagine, all around the world, a few moments of peace and happiness.

I'd better make sure my favorite toy is charged up and ready to go. Spread the word!

I almost never post about music. Huh.

So, my formative music years were the 80's. I Love the 80's! But I don't want to be stuck in the 80's either. But apart from y'all, how do I find new, cool bands when I hate the radio?

My answer for the past year or so has been watching the videos on NewNowNext on the Logo channel. It's pretty cool and there have been multiple times where someone's been talking about their new musical find and I've already seen them on NNN. I feel so in the know!

Tonight I saw a video from The Cliks (www.thecliks.com), a group from Toronto with a transman singer. I've been listening to the songs they have on MySpace and am enthralled by Lucas' vocals.

...and I just realized how much this post sounds like a commercial. Oh well. As Kathy Griffin would say, "Suck it, Jesus!"

People in Portland, OR: have you been to Voodoo Doughnut? I just saw a blurb about them that makes me want to visit there.

Here's the bit about Voodoo Doughnut:

Voodoo Doughnut operates in its own twisted world fueled by animosity toward convention: Here, doughnuts are decorated with toppings like Fruit Loops, Tang and—yes! —bacon. This hipster-friendly hole-in-the-wall in downtown Portland tests sensory limits with super-sweet (and often adult-themed) creations, bright colors and guilty childhood pleasures—just try getting through the Captain Crunch doughnut without succumbing to sugar shock. The shop also serves as a concert venue and wedding chapel—on our first anniversary, my wife surprised me with a vow-renewal ceremony performed by co-founder Tres Shannon. (Both Tres and his partner, Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson, were legally ordained online.) We were rewed beneath a velvet portrait of Isaac Hayes and presented with a custom-made doughnut resembling our rotund cat. But all eccentricity, perversion and cereal aside, the bottom line is that Voodoo’s doughnuts are undeniably addictive. And did I mention they offer Swahili lessons every Monday night?

Just couldn't come up with a clever title. Oh well.

Y'all, deeablo is awesome, evil hand notwithstanding. Evil one, thanks for spending some time with me last night. Your company was even better than the dinner of champions* I had last night.





*dinner of champions, a.k.a. high cholesterol on a plate: bacon and fries. What? Those were the only menu items that tantalized my taste buds. Too bad Deeablo wasn't on the menu...

For your holiday enjoyment (you'll have to sneak away from all the family togetherness at some point, right?), check out this parody of the Bionic Woman:

I am so thankful for all of you. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebrating it today and Happy Thursday to the rest!

Thank you to everyone who responded to my last post about setting up a relationship filter - I love you all very much.

I'm not sure how much I'll be posting about it but those of you who wanted in will see something eventually.

Love to you all!

Just came from a Halloween party. The party was great...all except for this one young lady (who, it was later confirmed, was still in her twenties) who was complaining about being old. She said it with a capital O: O-L-D. Like she was so old she may as well die now, that was how she said it.

As she was surrounded by more than a few people who were already past her age, she got some negative feedback to that statement.

Yes, young miss, you ARE old. So, so, so, so old. Here, let me escort you back to your room at the rest home and please don't mind my foot as I give you a kick in the ass on the way there.

Meerkat Manor, why must you always make me cry?

xica_s and favabean, I have tried the new Vosges bar! Thank you for telling me about it! Mmm, 41% cacao chocolate, smoked salt, and bacon is a DELICIOUS combination. BACON! Bacon in a chocolate bar and damn! it tastes good.

I was looking around the Vosges site (www.vosgeschocolate.com) and found some other new flavors that sound good. Like these:

Wattleseed - a nuance of hazelnut, coffee, and vanilla

Quandong - a wild Australian fruit with a tart apricot flavor

Tlan Nacu - dark chocolate + Mexican vanilla bean

Buddha's Leaf - Malaysian pandan leaves impart a hint of vanilla wafer and pine nut

Don't those sound good? Unfortunately, they are only available in a silly "yoga and chocolate" gift box and I don't want to spend $44 on trying the new flavors.


Another food place that was discussed at xica_s's birthday shindig was Hot Doug's. Gals, I was there last Monday, so they're definitely open once more. Go forth and enjoy your encased meats!


I'm sure I have more food-related items to post but can't think of any right now. Tell me all about your food-related stuff!
