It's Danny's birthday! huzzah! we went down to the Distillery District and had Soma.
Edit: I should add. Danny knitted the sweater I am wearing, his hat, and I think Van's also. |

[Nov. 30th, 2009|09:06 am] |
I just went and bought a van. A chunky little 4WD Mitsubishi L300 Delica, turbo diesel with aircon and a sunroof. It's kinda cool. At least, I hope it is, because I haven't actually seen it yet except in pictures.
Brian thinks I'm insane, but he's thought that for a while.

| College Football! |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|07:51 am] |
Jeff, Jim and myself (pictured above) went to the Stanford vs. Notre Dame game yesterday here in Palo Alto, CA. I love college football - for the screaming fans and marching band (Stanford's was surprisingly lame unfortunately). It was a tremendous game - decided in the very last moments when Stanford won 45-38. It was a perfect fall evening - with twilight sunset behind the stadium. We had a great time - then in perfect homosexual fashion - came back here afterwards and watched 'RENT' piled up on the guest bed in my office. :) How lovely! Jeff and Jim spent the night - and I'll break out the Greenlee's Cinnamon bread here in a bit and serve coffee. It was just a great old fashioned night in the stadium. :) We had a ball!

| Freezing Bears |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|05:07 am] |
Bears are best frozen in Ziplock freezer bags, but first wrapped in Saran, and also Reynolds Wrap....um...no.
We were wakened by rain this morning in Palm Springs. Snow is on the mountains, and looks great. It is cold enough to have to wear jackets , and long pants. We are wondering how the Lazy Bear crowd is taking this weather this weekend. Our nightly after dinner stroll around the neighborhood was chilly.
For us, it is snuggle weather, the fireplace is lit, and comfort food, meatloaf to be exact.
The fireplace warmed the living room to 76 degrees, so the heater never went on. The rest of the house has stayed at 71, while it is 54 outside at night. |

| Pear Tart |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|03:16 pm] |
Part of my contribution to this years Thanksgiving Dinner was dessert. While my chocolate mousee disappeared, my pear tart never quite got out of the kitchen. That just means more for me as far as I'm concerned. It made a lovely Saturday morning breakfast.

i was trying to explain facebook to someone at a party yesterday
this person was not on facebook yet and said he didn't really understand it
i said nobody understands it but you must be on it or it's successor
you simply must
he asked why
i said because facebook today (and to a lesser extent twitter) is the modern day equivalent of having a telephone on your kitchen wall in the 1940s
i said that in the 1940s and going forward it was essential for everyone to own a telephone
you simply had to
now in the modern age it is essential to be on facebook, or the successor to facebook
in this past year something really hit me like ton of bricks
it was the realization that 2 things are currently defining our modern life vis a vis the communications space: the iPhone and facebook
the iPhone and facebook are the 2 single most important things in the world right now, the only thing third would be google and to a slightly lesser extent wikipedia (if it survives, wikipedia is having some staffing issues lately)
so know it, iphone (or iphone like device) and facebook in combo is orders of magnitude beyond the pet rock
and of course orders of magnitude beyond the hoola hoop
that is all
ciao;-)

| leather weekend in toronto |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|03:39 pm] |
it's a big leather weekend here in toronto
lots of fun stuff going on around town
this leatherati page just posted some of the pics
i've already seen some very woofy men around the ghetto
they are making me moist
ciao;-)
http://www.leatherati.com/leatherati_live/2009/11/mlt-greet-the-meat.html
from the page:
"Seven guys are vying for the Mr Leatherman Toronto title: Andrew - Mr Steamworks, David - Mr Woody's/Priape, Devin - Mr Gladaman's Den, Joseph - Mr St, Marc's Spa, Josh - Mr Black Eagle, Kevin - Mr Spearhead, and Martin-Graham - Mr Barn." |

| work, family, other |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|01:59 pm] |
work
family
other
just as in realife - we desperately need this tri-furcation (yes i just globally coined the word) on facebook
think of 3 sandboxes
in a row
you step into the work sandbox and playwith all your workmates and work related associates
then take a break and:
you step into the family sandbox and playwith all your family members, cousins, aunt your mom and the like
then when you've had enough of that!:
you step into your "other" sandbox, and this would be truly OTHER, your Folsom street-fair fisting-demo buddies, your bathhouse betty's, assorted trashy online sluts and all other gays who well and truly understand your public gayness/gayawareness and wish to thrive it with/amongst you/them :-))
you see, as in life, facebook needs to GOD give each fb user the tri-furcation ability - like - um -2 weeks ago ..*tapping foot and STILL waiting!?
this is easily handled just as in real life, thusly:
when you are about to add your aunt to your real name facebook identity you are given your 3 options buttons, ie: drop then into 1 of the 3 sandboxes namely: 1- work ; 2 - family ; 3 - other
and you only, as in life, only need those 3 delineations
from then on and far far and beyond into eternity, as in life, there will now forever be an impenetrable BERLIN pre-glasnost-like wall! around each group and you will never suffer accidental embarrassment by cross contamination of info, you know, your aunt or mom does not really need to see ANYTHING regarding pics, thoughts or anything about Folsom, and you know what I mean right? ditto for your boss or Bob from Accounting
get the picture? ;-)
we need this so badly right now i notice as a result my 6 months of INTENSEified reasearch into the true meaning of facebook
whoever or whatever ultimately replaces facebook, these functionalites as stated will ultimately take social networking into the next dimension, say by around exactly 2012/13
that is all
ciao;-) |

| Changes, Signing, Booting, Shoutouts. |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|09:55 am] |
I was up at 645am this morning ready to go into work. Actually even on days off anymore my body wakes me up no later than 630-645am and says "bathroom. now please. thanks". i guess i am getting to that age when "peeing" regularly is a good thing. Its like my own body clock.
Sometimes i try to go back to sleep i rarely sleep past 8.
it drives friends a little buggy.
i was done with my work at 9 and called a friend to see if they wanted to do breakfast. I woke them up. Sometimes i can be too perky for my own good.
So now the project that could have taken all morning is done well in advance. So i have a saturday ahead of me.
SIGNING
This afternoon all the nazca plains authors are coming into Black hawk leather to sign books this afternoon. Its my first book signing outside of smokeout. It is a little bittersweet as i realize that putting writing on hold (just like chorus) while i am in college is important and relavant. i will sit down and do some creative "mind flow" writing once in a while just to keep my mind in the groove. But i do look forward to celebrating my bachelors degree by writing something dark and sinister...with teeth.
BOOTING
Tonight is Fall Fetish night at the Ripcord so i'll be shining boots slowly and with fire. Normally when i bootblack i tend to follow the bar rules i was taught with. Shine fast, Shine well, get the customer back out to his friends. Tonight is all about spoiling the person in the chair. Lighting the bootpolish on fire. and lavishing the person in service. It is more spectacle boot blacking than "getter done" bootblacking. That probably doesnt make sense to many. but it works for me.
SHOUT OUTS.
Hoping all is better on the lpbear and dleemusic front.

| Klaatu, Barada, Niktto, decorating the garage. |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|03:06 am] |
No space goes unthemed, or undecorated with us, and our new house.
We got a new glass shelf for the tiny laundry area in the garage, a place to store the Tide, Borax, and Clorox and have some art work that will also hang on the walls of the garage. I plan to print out some vintage laundry ads, or photos to hang above the washer and dryer. We have already replaced the lone, bare light bulb above the dryer with a light fixture that seemed appropriate. While unpacking our crap, we ran across a framed wall poster of the 1951 movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still". That will hang directly in front of the Chevy. A small flying saucer will hang from clear fishing wire from the ceiling at the point where the Chevy is correctly into the garage, when the windshield touches it. Beyond the hood of the car, on the wall will be the movie poster.
