I'm going to get up at 7:00 am and get to the DMV by 8 *plus I feel like I'm going to be on the phone for at least two hours. Will I ever catch up on my sleep?

At least I have some Fresca.

The Mormons (there are some new ones this week who are so cute!) are out in the garden pulling weeds in the rain; I'm in my office drinking a Coke Zero and watching Kath + Kim, as it should be.

I hope this rain doesn't ruin the Mermaid Parade; I've got Debbie in my bag and she's just itchin to go...

I am so butch, y'all--you should have seen (I almost wrote scene) the heavy lifting I did, and with what ease ( Read more... )

I'd like to dedicate today to Lisa Vogel and Janice Raymond. How many days of the year does the Lesbian Herstory Archive's t-shirt/book sale and yer friend Tom's hysterectomy party happen at the same time? I am so fucking excited ( Read more... )

Team Dresch!
I. feel. so. good.

I did laundry today and found a whole wardrobe of clothes that aren't mine in my dirty clothes bag. I'm not sure if this a testament to my sluttyness, but if it is I need to find some new motherfuckers to sleep with; because these rags are u-g-l-y.

They're calling it Sunset Bouzouki (I always thought a bouzouki was an instrument and not a party, but maybe it's both?) and it's Greek-themed. Tickets are super expensive, and knowing my organization the shit will be swank-y ( Read more... )

Oh Joy! After years of mild uncertainty, I can now drink my diet sodies in peace. The EU’s food safety authority just released a report on Friday saying that aspartame does not, in fact, raise the risk of cancer. Taxologist Iona Pratt said “There is no reason…to undertake any further extensive review of asparatame.” The current suggested safe daily ( Read more... )

One day when I'm a lot older, I'm going to think it's funny that I used to fall asleep on subways and miss my stop. My friend Candice hosted a one-man-band festival (in honor of Hazel Atkins) and I worked the door. Tonight I got to be the surly barmaid I always dreamed of being: keeping money in my brassiere and cussing at the patrons. I had a ( Read more... )
