I Walk the Line

My eyes are not closed. I'm looking demure w/ fierce black eye makeup.


Isn't this gorgeous? My swap meet friend Zom (http://zomadventures.blogspot.com) sent me this amazing package. At the top we have few of her fave recipes, I can't wait to try out the cherry ice box cookies, representing a new beginning we have some earth and seedlings (Bells of Ireland), an awesome handmade scarf (my grey coat is very happy about this!) and a fancy pen and pad of paper. All made even better w/ an eloquent and sweet note on pretty fancy papers and ribbons.

I really happy about that last gift, sometimes I get an idea or a phrase and now I have a way of remembering my genius. Oh wait, that's right. I can't write anymore. I have no spark for it right now. So I'm counting on that gift to smack some inspiration into my cloudy head.

I also learned something important. I immediately starting comparing myself to Zom. The attention to detail, the legible handwriting, the thoughtfulness of each gift. How can I measure up? But I won't. I'm gonna give her a Phairhead style of gift, sloppy, weird and awesome.

We went to one of our local pubs last night for the Johnny Cash Birthday Bash. A night of music celebrating The Man in Black. I drank seltzer w/ lime slices all night. The highlight was this 10 year old kid that played guitar and sang my theme song "A Boy Named Sue". Good times good times.

I don't want everyday to be like Sunday.

You Can't Afford Me

My weekend was full of sex, sex, sex. Now before yr dirty minds jump to a very obvious conclusion, I'm actually speaking of all the movies I watched recently.

I was really excited to check out the latest from Steven Soderburg, "The Girlfriend Experience". The big buzz surrounding the film was that the female lead was being played by real life porn star, Sasha Grey. There were many things I liked about "The Girlfriend Experience", the fact that the viewer is thrust right into the lives of this call girl and her boyfriend, the gorgeous cinematography, the naturalness of the dialogue and weirdly enough, for a film about sex there was no actual sex scenes. And it works.


That being said, I have a big BUT w/ "TGE". Sasha fucking Grey! Ugh! Other than her looks, Grey has nothing going for her. She's boring, flat and uninspiring. And if you haven't seen "TGE" and you want to, please disregard the rest of this post. Basically, Grey becomes attracted to one of her clients. I despised the casual way she tells her boyfriend that she 's planning 0n spending the weekend w/ another dude (client she's suddenly become smitten w/) and then gets annoyed (I think it was annoyance, very hard to tell when you can't express emotions. Maybe Sasha Grey is a cybernetic being) w/ boyfriend for being "selfish". And, get this, the character is obsessed w/ numerology/astrology bullshit. Oh, yeah, nothing says high class call girl like following some crack pot hokum.

For a really great look at the prostitution game, check out Billie Piper in the Showtime/ITV show "The Secret Diary of a Call Girl". The show is based on the blog/memoirs of real life London working girl "Belle du Jour".

Off to bed now....

Lagging Behind

What's your least favorite word? A 3 way tie between moist, squat and panties.

Where do you go when you need really good advice? I don't have a go to person usually, I like to absorb lots of different opinions.

Scratching my Head

1) Who is the person you have loved for the longest? My parents, I guess. Odd sort of question. I can't say Sexybeast because we've only been together for 2 years.

2) What gets in your way the most? My sloth.

3) What is your most bittersweet memory? Right now, the memory of the 1st client at my old job that died from an AIDS related illness. I was sitting w/ him in his room at the emergency department. He was nodding in and out, kinda watching the Sci-Fi channel but not really. It was time for me to leave and he said "Thank you." Probably the last words he said to anyone as he was put on a ventilator not long after.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one. "The fresh ones just can't be beat."

Just like that Book by Nabakov

Saturday 9: Don't Stand So Close to Me

1. Who would you like not to stand so close to you? The Roto Rooter plumber that came to my house on Tuesday. He had a huge cut on the bridge of his nose like someone had decked him. And his breath smelled like cigarettes in a a dirty beer bottle.

2. Which of the following aspects of your life would you think rates the highest: mind, body or spirit? Spirit. If you have that, the others will fall in line.

4. What is your favorite movie title? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

5. What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle? Falling in love. Not to sound schmaltzy but I considered myself to be very unlovable before I met Sexybeast.

6. What do you try to stay away from? Processed foods.

7. What is it too late for? Babies.

8. Give someone credit for something and name it if you can. William S. Burroughs, heroin chic.

9. Would you rather be famous now & forgotten after you die or forgotten now & famous after you die, forever? And why? Dead and famous, that way I'll be young and beautiful and talented forever.
