when i got home from work today there was a wasp in my living room. i freaked out, and then took my sketchbook in hand to put an end to the madness. i ducked and weaved, side stepped and dodged, flailed and swatted... it was cinematic....
eventually it flew behind the blinds and i smashed it against the window. truthfully, i'm surprised i didn't go right through it, and plummet to my death. so then i sprayed it with raid. then, i smushed it with a pencil and then cut it in half with my swiss army knife. then i figured it might be all the way dead. since then, my windows have remained closed as this is the second wasp i've had in the house in the past week.

this weekend i'm headed into the city to be gay with dan. we will have us some fun. and possibly some sunburn.

blogger has a fancy new system... oooooh....

since i updated last things here have been uneventful. i went out for drinks last night and discovered i can no longer hold my liquor as i needed to stop after two drinks. this is sad. it means my glory days 'passed me by', like bruce springsteen said. it's hell to be old. ish.

i did buy the hours on dvd on tuesday night, and watched it last night. if you've not seen this movie yet, shame on you. it's wonderful. i like it more every time i see it. it's a beautiful movie to watch and the performances given by the three women (nicole kidman, julianne moore, and merryl streep) are mind-blowing. it makes me think about a lot of things but i think mostly it's sort of about people discovering what it is to be involved in the lives of other people. it's sort of about how we are all interwoven into with the lives of the people in our little worlds and the responsibilities we have to those people and to ourselves.

still neck deep in assessment.

tonight, def leppard was in town. they got picketed by religious protestors waving giant posters about abortion killing and homosexuals going to hell.... does anyone else not get the connection? i sure didn't. the guy from the ice cream stand and i watched the concert goers arrive and some heckled the protestors, which was tres funny. one guy acutally mooned one of them and mooned/smacked his bare ass at another (there were three altogether). the homosexuals part made me wonder if they'll be back for the cher concert in july, 'cause you just know that's gonna be a whole giant bunch of gay, gay, men. i might have to set up a foldin chair to watch that one.

nothing new to report, just been at work. spent tonight at work, helping run a benefit concert given by miss freeport 2003. scenes fromdrop dead gorgeous kept playing over and over in my head... i smiled to myself a lot. lookin' forward to pride parade at the end of june.. much fun to be had there.


personally - still learning, still thinking; some re-evalution and re-assessment goin' on. i feel like maybe there's some changes percolatin'.
