getting ready for the Mutual Friends Autumn Fest...

cool way to spend National Coming Out Day, i suppose - tomorrow i'll be hanging out at Stoney Creek Farms with a bunch o' Mutual Friends...

meanwhile, lots of prep to do - i volunteered to supply music, so i'm burning mixes and such - it's made me think a lot about my music collection and the types of music that i like...more on that later.

One of Jay Leno's Headlines:

Jay's comment: "I love when they talk to people on the street. This is from "The Chronicle" in Central Washington. The question is, 'Would you be willing to attend a church where the minister was gay?' Samantha Searles says, 'No, because I don't feel that's what God wants. I don't think he's ready for that. He'd be turning over in his grave.' You might want to go to church a little more, Samantha."

VNS Update

Saw Dr. Mohan finally - of all my docs, he might be the favorite. Told him of all the weird symptoms I've been having recently, and how everything just sort of came to a head at work monday night. he double checked the VNS to make sure we didn't have a problem as we did before - everything's still kosher there. So then he set me up for an EEG that afternoon - ugh, the gritty nasty glue's still in my hair, although I must say this stuff's a LOT better than years ago - the glue they used back then was AWFUL and took FOREVER to come out. No changes to VNS settings or meds...

well whaddaya know....

i sent out an email to various people here in Indy, encouraging them to send messages to Let It Out, the water-cooler talk column here in Indy...some people did it, and comments are getting published already (i figured they'd wait till saturday)...

donna, i presume that's your comment about you and your husband?? *8-)

George W. Bush is a fucking retard.

Apologies in advance to all the fucking retards out there that I've just offended and/or demeaned by comparing them to Dubya, but I'm pissed.

Clara's sent me off to the Million For Civil Marriage site - cool PDF poster for the project, too bad National Coming Out Day (oct 11th) falls on a saturday - not a work day...well fuck it, i'll put the damned thing on my cubicle on sunday. it might be even MORE important to do it on the 12th, than on National Coming Out Day.

Why? well, go take a look at this White House News Release - seems Dubya has proclaimed 10/12 - 10/18 to be "Marriage Protection Week". Yeah, cuz us queers are doing soooooooooo much to demean the ideals of marriage. just totally fucking it up for all the straight people.

I don't know if it's because he's REALLY fucking stupid or just really fucking MEAN - did he pick those dates specifically for a reason? Perhaps it's a coincidence (the "stupid" theory) or perhaps he's an even bigger dick than I'd ever thought him to be (the "mean" theory) but "Marriage Protection Week" (aka 'Fuck all of y'all queers') starts October 12th, the day after National Coming Out Day AS WELL AS the the 5th anniversary of the murder of Matthew Shepard.

argh this shit pisses me off - lemme just take a second to ask everyone out there to do something extra special this weekend & next week...write a letter to dubya and tell him marriage should be for EVERYONE...do some volunteer work and let people know you support liberty and justice FOR ALL...whatever it takes to get the word out...

the library's web site - good and bad....

it's really cool that you can go online and check out books and such from the library, and they'll email you when they come in - except when it just so happens that everything comes in at the same time! and of course i've been too busy lately to sit around and watch dvd's, so i'm just gonna take most of 'em back....

an inventory of DVD's going back:

Love, Liza - woah, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is just simply amazing. very depressing movie, but a wonderful performance. might hafta re-rent this one to watch the commentary track...

9 to 5 - someone mentioned this movie, and i figured i'd watch it again - i remembered just loving it when it originally came out...suppose watching lily tomlin when i was 8 years old is what made me a big ol dyke? i didn't get around to watching all of it, but i know i can check it out some other time...

and these i didn't even get to see yet:

American Psycho - based on the Bret Easton Ellis book - i've heard it's bad, but i dunno, Ellis is a guilty pleasure because of Less Than Zero (the BOOK, not the movie!)

Big Trouble - based on the novel by Dave Barry, it's got my woman Janeane Garofalo in it....

Dahmer - title should make the subject obvious....

Girlfight - again, the title should make the subject obvious....

Pollock - and yet again, the title should make the subject obvious....

Hedwig and the Angry Inch - ashamed to admit it - i STILL have not seen this one...they'll prolly be coming to revoke my queerness any day now...

Straight a conversion comedy - a stage show about trying to convert the queers....

poor gal - can't imagine what elementary school was like for her....

Would you buy a house from this woman?

deja vu, all over again....

Yay Steph!!! Lookee, it's a title!!

mucho thanks to Steph the web goddess for helping me (the pathetic HTML-challenged blogger) by giving me the code to make my titles show up!!! Now go check out her mega cool website - commonplacebook.com!!!

hrmmm, i don't think i'm quite as much of a geek as this quiz says...

You're an "at" sign!
