oh, such excitement at work today!!! the laptop we leased arrived!!! and it has a modem!! so we can dial up internet without even taking the computer anywhere!! there are a few unsecured wireless networks around us- does anyone know- is it illegal to steal such internet? can the people with the wireless find out about us? i'm upolading beach photos right now, so i'm sure the post you read before this is all of that. last night i discovered bloglines, and i think it may change my life. i've FINALLY discovered what rss is for. why has no one told me before??
so since i got my whole list done last night except for the haircut i was gonna try and find one downtown, and ch was like, silly, i'll cut your hair again. so i went to his house instead. it's been raining in chicago all day, so we dripped to the taquiria by his new place, and then dripped to his new apt. i need to take pictures of that- it's SOOO nice. he'd bought cables, so i helped him hook up his vcr and dvd player (unfortunately not enough plugs to do both at the same time....) and then, what i've always been waiting for... i knew someday the boxes under the bed would coinside with a vcr... we watched all the diva videos. goddess, annie lennox is AMAZING. most people's eyes have, like, 4 movements at best. the emotions she can show with her eyes- it must be a 3 octave range. just incredible. i want to BE her. so that was FABULOUS inspiration for ch to cut my hair. it's really nice-long (like, amost a full inch!) on top, then a v-shaped line, then layered down the back to the v at my hairline. my sideburns are a litte shorter than i wanted them, but other than that, it's perfect. ch totally went to town, after the buzzing he trimmed it up with scissors and then did the scraggly stuff on the back of my neck with a razor. THEN he got out his product and gave me this really funky 'do with a part on one side and a row of spikes down the other- it reminds me of like, my uncle's elementary school pictures, esp with my black glasses.
anyway, kira, the book i'm reading is coming out under fire: the history of gay men and women in world war two by alan berube. i need to type up some of my thoughts on it, because it hits most of the things i like to think about- gender and gay culture and war vs. peace. and i meant bad education in the previous post- live flesh i don't think i've seen yet. - or is that the one with the nuns and the tiger in the garden? that's my least fave so far. ANYWAY, my birthday is september 24, thanks for asking!! when is yours? and jamie, when is yours? i forgot to write it down. early october. i'm going to guess the 12th.
and j, i'm sure brigid would love to sell you a bag. send her an email and she will be glad to tell you which of mine are available, i'm sure. they're pretty pricey, though!
finally, i swore i would update my booklist as soon as someone commented that they cared. a year later, someone finally did! so i'm slowly updating- i read ALOT of books. if you're interested what i read last sept- feb, it's up here, with march- august to be added soon. there is also commentary, so it's better than your average list, as well. so check it out and leave a comment if you've read anything on it- or have new recomendations for what should be on next years...
