sprat

i havent been on a late night date in a long time. i think im due.

I hope you enjoyed said self-indulgent day to its fullest extent.

As to waxing, I'm thinking of having my first foray into the world of bikini and leg waxing. I am a masochist, so perhaps there will be perks in it for me?

Your cat's bag shenanigans sound adorable.

hey...not a problem. i was a bit upset the day i left the earlier comments but it was seriously not towards anyone in the group. there's a creepy guy that is preying on her and i'm being a bit protective. actually there's probably many.. anyways...that was to them. I'm glad people are making her feel better...thats not an issue...never was. It's just that fake comforting-trying to get it your pants kind of people. They stink.

Slacker!

I don't know if you missed Flux' comment a while back welcoming you to SG:NHS, so I'm just gently reminding you that a) you're in, and b) I purge the group of inactive members every few weeks.

Drop by and meet the gang.

Were I to have a Queer Eye menage a trois, I think Kyan and Ted would be my choices too. *giggles*

Travel in time... nah, I'd worry about changing history and all that crap. I'd end up killing someone when my time travel phone booth landed on them and, whaddaya know, in a wacky twist of fate that person I killed would have been my great great grandmother and then I'd never be born and then I'd start to disappear like Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. Nopenoepnope, time travel is a messy thing.

hey yr excellentness! i'll be gone for awhile, but if you want you can find me at arachnesuicide@yahoo.com. thank you for all the fabulous conversation. its soooo nice to meet a colleague who is similarly twisted.

i so agree with you! it is a challenge to get them thinking on their own without grafting your interps on them ... and to avoid the Triumph of the Human Spirit reviews when yabos prink around on stage full of affect and mincing ridiculousness. much crap theater indeed. and then some? so good.

ohhhhh, cherry blossoms ~ loverly. i wish i did have some great pix, but alas, i don't. ummmm ~ have you found any traditional fans or trad screens of japanese prints? maybe going into a store with such things will spark ideas. also, this might sound odd, but might there be pictures of icing flowers like that? often work on cakes is so precise and detailed, but not necessarily botanical. hmmmm. good luck!

Was at Sydney -- not studying at the moment. Graduated last year. About to head back to USYD to do honours. hhhhmmmm scary

Ha! No, Mandy Rollins is not my alternate girlfriend - she's aaaaaaall yours

yes yes - i certainly agree that she is cute and all that jazz ... just never had a crush on her ... not sure why

greetings spratty my dear!

yes, new project ... basically, i am writing my own burlesque show to explore how the act of what i am calling hyperfeminity - a sort of female in female drag that excessively performs adherence to social expectations - opens up a space for subversive sociopolitical work through satire. i'm using the bakhtinian carnival, and assorted feminist performance theory (the explicit body, the appropriate body) to tease out the theoretical possibilities, and satirizing such things as the menstrual industry and the cult of female food depravation. my favorite set concept so far is a sort of giant altar with alternative menstrual gear on it. rock. i've defended my propsectus and completed orals, so its a go. yay. now i am terrified!

your work with the mardi gras was part of the inspiration for shifting gears!! it sounded so cool and fun, so i opened my mind in that direction. i lurve burlesque and viola ~ things came together.

oh, and i forgot to say, hello and hope you are well and happy. write on, my dear - you will be fabaluss!!

totally clucky! and is there anything better than gums with a giggle? a big bald head? baby girl ringlets? no, i should say not. they are the sweetest little creatures in the world.

hope yr going well, mydear.

Turning 30 was fun. I'll let you know how 31 goes.

hello, my dear!! i hope you are well. i've missed you as well. can't wait to see what you've been up to, as i am sure it has been marvelously productive.

the new place sounds nice. crossing fingers for your health. I myself survive on microwave hot pockets and ---exercise--that would be head banging or rocking out at a rock show. that and sex of course. (my health suffers a little too). but I hope your suffering stops and you feel healthier. good luck.

Hello chick-a-dee! I miss you.

Hoping things are going well in your end of the world!

yes ~ it is soooo great the way kids just say what they want, and thoroughly enjoy the simplest things. when my neice was a tinybabygirl, her father would rub her little tiny feet every night ~ their little ritual. once she started toddeling, she would go hunt for the foot creme whenever she wanted her daddy time. it was very sweet.

hope yr wellish! are you still teaching, or is the semester finished? i start up again in june, and am really rather looking fwd to it.
