One of the things I've enjoyed about being a bookkeeper for a catering company is that it's so very not corporate for an office job (the dress code is lax, i wander off for coffee whenever i like, and i'm almost completely self-managed which is an AWSOME freedom).  Clerical work is something I can do and make a good paycheck, but it does NOT feed ( Read more... )

I feel like the mermaid in Splash when she poured salt into her bath and unfurled her tail.  Cramped but delicious and savoury for those few moments, tragically misplaced...     I CRAVE the ocean.  The shakes may start soon...i'm fiending...*twitch* My beautful Jeremy may take me away  soon...but soon is April at the closest.  If I must wait so ( Read more... )

I need to "defrost" my fridge.

There are instructions in the freezer on how to do this.   ...i've never done this before.  I'm generally good at things I've never done before:

Like billiards (I kicked my teacher's ass and haven't won since)
Driving a 17' U-Haul over the Oregon Hills towing a car and dealing with vapor lock.

I only shred white recylclable paper.

My host offered me wood, a mider saw and a cigar.  I built a nice large frame, carefully measured, angled, glued and nailed.  Amusement was high and creative energy was starting up a good swirl.

This is all very very good.  We ( Read more... )

The gentle luxury of peace and pleasure.

My darling Sunshine, as birthday gift, began healing my twisted strange body with her gifted touch. 
I intend to "hire" her on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for massage, now that I can afford her.  
Dancing, training, stretching, sitting ~  My muscles are sinewy and long, folded and possitioned like elegantly ( Read more... )

"We danced our youth in a dreamed-of city.

Venice, Paradise,  proud and pretty

We lived for love and lust and beauty,

Pleasure then our only duty.

Floating then 'twixt heaven and earth

Timing is essential.

The beat of the music, the timed step, knowing -no- feeling what to say and how to say it...understanding the correct eye shift at that moment.

Charm and grace, timing timing timing.  Existing in the pressent in order to be on the edge of hte future.

Courtesans and jedi had much in common.

Why is my mind so obsessively occupied ( Read more... )
