these days of leiderhosen

Never discuss yarn stash in bed. Never negotiate theoretical space while naked. When your darling friends offer to help you move, ask for boxes. Lots of them. And then step aside. When you pass on your blog url, dont' forget that little search box in the upper corner; at some point everyone will search for themselves in the cybersphere. ("Jeff Bui, Jeff Bui, Jeff Bui." I owe him a pair of socks and possibly a red shiny toaster.)

The new (rented) digs; it's the most beautiful house. It probably didn't look nearly as good when it was brand new. Smokin' kitchen with a gas gas gas range!!!! I'm putting these up so I can ogle them at will, the carrot at the end of a month-long stick.

As I was once again hauling out all the trash barrels yesterday, Barbara accosted me and wanted to know that if we'd stay if the 8% increase in rent were not to happen. I told her that I sympathize with her fiscal plight these days and know how she badly she needs that extra income... At this point her body language went all wonky. She'd not make eye contact and shifted her weight, fiddled with her hands and said oh no, she's gonna do a reverse mortgage or ... Great. She was juicing us. It was pretty clear. I told her things were in motion for the new place and we were going to leave as of the thirty-first. Now I can hardly wait, but I have to get the last month's rent back from her as well as the security deposit. Any bets on how that'll go? This is an image from Jessica's wedding. The lovely Casey on the right was taking me for a spin on the grass. She is an exceptionally graceful dancer and good sport. (We need to find her a new girlfriend.)

Hi, Sweetness. It's been a while. Last night Steven and I signed 23 pages of lease agreements on the new digs with Andy and Edrich (the handsome landlords). What will be their new monkiers? "Captain LandLords"? They really are very pretty and sweet men. So after they left, I had to have the inevitable word with Barbara and give her notice as it is already into our final month. She wept, playfully cussed me out, then burst into full fledged tears. Already, I have volunteers from the East Bay Lesbian Knitters Guild and Straight Girl Contingent to help move. Are they not the loveliest people ever?! UPDATES on things that have kept me busy: Jessica and Dan are now married! It was fabulous! The bride was scrumptious! Steven had nose surgery; it went well. Steven and I went for a long Fourth of July Weekend at Sea Ranch. I like my iPhone. In confronting all my stuff: All my plates are chipped. (Okay, they are all from the 1950s. I hate my shelves; very early1990s. Frightenin...

My new favorite website: Crime Reports . I promise not to take anything too seriously.

Grab your gold pants and go, Darlings.

That might have been a disturbed last post. I really have no excuse other than I sometimes use melatonin supplements as recreational entertainment. Most random deities neither confirm, deny nor approve this message, pretty much because they are working on their fourth beer of the morning.
