Spent most of the afternoon with RoseMarie. We both ended the day several dollars poorer but with some lovely little treasures in our hands.

I snagged an old Samsonite train case for $5. The price was so low I didn't even bother to haggle, which, if you know me, is something I always love to do. It's the Jewness.

My astrologer said that

I spent this afternoon traveling to various coffee shops here in Austin, coyly going in, asking for an iced decaf and as the barista made my drink, I'd ask "so, do you make your bakery stuff in house?" and if they'd say no, I'd ask who'd I'd need to speak to in regards to supplying them.

I made sure to start this after about 4:30....

It is amazing what an email can do. What memories it can open up.

Sometime around 5 this morning, between watching Saved by the Bell and drinking my 8th cup of coffee, I got an email from Jennifer, my best friend from middle school who I havent seen or talked to in over 10 years.

I saw the name and knew exactly who it was...

I hear Bally's is setting the odds at 18:1 that I'll get all this shit done. Odds are 1.5:1 that I'll say...

I am not a BAD person. I don't break the law too often (although, I haven't had my car inspected and it was due last November). I will err on the side of care and legality 9 times out of 10.

Is it because I have this great moral calling?

No, its just because I don't like paying tickets and I like sitting in jail...

You know who the hottest 1950's closeted gay actor was?

In Grease2? Still hot.

This is the sort of thing I think about on Sunday mornings, waffles cooking in my kitchen.

There is that moment where you are not sure if being in someone elses bed -- THAT someone else -- is such a good idea.

It's been one hell of a week and the prospect of a couple drinks and some video games sounds mighty inviting.

You walk in, 6pack in hand, drop all but 2 beers in the fridge and sit next to him...
