requiem

I'm busy trying to arrange a last-minute road trip to LA to see Robin's contest. But I also need to do stupid chores. Laundry, clean bathroom, organize garage, brush cat. Ya know, I just realized why I like cats more than dogs: you can pet a cat and cuddle with a cat and it won't try to hump you.

I feel like I'm wasting my singlehood. No, I'm not referring to all the sex I'm not having (and there's a lot I'm not having...). I'm talking about the fact that I'm not responsible in any significant way for any other human being besides myself.

I should be more impulsive. I should take more risks. I should pack a suitcase, drive to the airport, and...

It's that end-of-the-Summer malaise. The things I want to do are not much more fun than the things I need to do. And the things I need to do are not much more important than the things I want to do.

I can't wait for Fall.

I'm back! My "new" 1961 Studebaker Hawk handled the 2500 mile drive from Indiana to California like a champ. I'm very pleased with it. It's basically a well-cared for car that hasn't been driven much - it's quite solid, but I need to take it into the shop to have a couple things worked on. I hope it'll be ready in time for Thursday Night...

I won't be around the boards much this week because I'll be busy making arrangements for my drive back from Indiana. Gotta figure out when and where to have a beer with tat2bob.

My friend borrowed me his handheld GPS navigation thingy for the trip. Those things are cool! And not all that expensive. I'd bet good money that in a year everybody will have...

I just finished changing the oil in my truck. That in and of itself isn't very noteworthy. What's impressive is that this is the first time I've ever managed to do it without spilling a drop of oil! That's right, not even when I was pulling off the old filter! Not one single drop of oil touched the ground! I am cool.

My mood is inappropriate for the weather, inappropriate for the season. But what can I say - it's a full moon out tonight... So bring on the lonely, cynical, gothy angst!

So here's what I'm thinking for my road trip home after I pick up my car in Indiana:

Day 1: Indianapolis to St. Louis
Day 2: St. Louis to Russell, Kansas (to say Hi to Bob Dole)
Day 3: Russell to Denver
Day 4: Denver to SLC
Day 5: SLC to Reno
Day 6: Reno to home

Day 1 is shaping up to be Monday,...

Tonight I realized that I am a gay couple.

For me, masturbation is sex with a man. As a man, sex with a man must be gay sex, right? And if I'm the man with whom I have gay sex, I must therefore be a gay couple.

Does anybody like wine? I need to start a tasting group.
