dream log: may 20 – the old frontier | tomophobe

I remembered two dreams this morning. In one of them, Roger and I found a way into the past, and we were visiting the Wild West. Roger won $3022 in a poker game in the saloon, and we were trying to decide what to do with it, whether to spend it there or bring it […]

blight sight, sick kitty

Alex, my nine-year-old Maine Coon kitty–the one whose breed’s name got me in trouble with the match.com automatic profile police, and who’s been with me for four years–has one eye whose pupil hasn’t contracted or dilated properly for several years. Until now, it hadn’t seemed to cause him any pain or any problems; given his […]

four by four

Conscious self Overall self Take Free Enneagram Test OK. This seems to be the meme of the week among several of the blogs I read regularly (including Just As I Thought and Digital Flotsam. I’ve been using the Enneagram as a tool for personal development for a number of years, and had posted my results […]

dream log: may 18 – bush beer

Throughout the day I kept remembering one odd detail from a dream I had last night: Dubya had proclaimed himself emperor of America, and one of his first decrees was to outlaw all cocktails, especially Cosmopolitans. In the new Bushist Empire, only wimpy Amurrican beer was to be sold, and homosexuals and Sarah Jessica Parker […]

saturday thoughts

Today’s been a quiet day, spent entirely at home. I haven’t even changed out of the t-shirt and lounge pants I put on when I first got up–not all that long ago. Last night I was in one of my sleepless moods, so I stayed up until 6am, and then slept in until around 2pm […]

wish i’d stayed in bed

I got a fairly decent night’s sleep, especially compared to the previous night, and was up and getting ready for work even a little early. I remember having some interesting dreams, including one where the world was being threatened by some interdimensional baddies, and I had to climb to the top of a mountain to […]

mis-matched

Last night, I updated my match.com profile with some new photos and tried to make a couple of minor edits to the text (I have no idea why I’m wasting time on this… I met a few nice guys through match.com and planetout.com, including Terry, whom I dated for about a year, but mostly it’s […]

but siriusly, folks

A couple of weeks ago, Jeff made an off-hand reference to Sirius satellite radio, specifically their 24/7 gay programming stream, OutQ. So over the past few days, I’ve been listening to OutQ via the Internet stream from Sirius’s web site. I like the idea, and really wanted to like the programming, but I’ve been pretty […]

home alone

I stayed home from work today. I was feeling a little sick last night, and then had slept really very poorly, so I was exhausted this morning when the alarm went off. I thought that if I got a couple of hours of extra sleep, I might feel up to going in around noon or […]
