Pic or Pry

While I was visiting the doc the other day, we started talking about blogging. He really wanted to know what it was all about. It got me to thinking how blogging has affected me. You few long time readers know I started blogging while dealing a painful breakup. I got so much support and outpouring of concern it was very overwhelming at times. After which, as it often does, life goes on. So, I told the Doc about all the friends I’ve made thru it, how it helped me find the apartment, and so on. He was truly amazed. He couldn’t believe people could do all that thru such a simple medium. Who knows? Maybe he’ll take up blogging. Not about his patients obviously but I’m sure he has a story to tell.

I mention it as it got me to thinking about why people blog. So, if you read this, even if you never commented before, take a moment to tell me why YOU blog (or don’t).

In the meantime, for those of you non-readers, here are a few more pics.

Here I am looking looking extremely excited.

To Go, Please

I forgot to post these. (Can you tell I haven’t been to the gym much lately) I so need a tan.

I can report the cleaning crew did a fantastic job! I was very pleased when I got home and found the apartment all nice and clean. I was a tad worried as I’m a bit picky when it comes to services I have to pay for. I have a strong work ethic and I tend to expect the same from folks I pay to do work for me. There are not many luxury items in my budget right now so this was an important decision. I feel justified in my choice now. They did more than even I expected. So any of you local yocals need a good reference, I got one.

Gaydar

No not the website but the mythical skill of devining if someone is gay or not. First, let me say gaydar is never 100%. However, some have a knack for picking the ‘mo’s out of a crowd, myself included.

I always get a giggle out of guys who go out of their way to hide the fact their gay. That, in itself, is a topic for another day. I tease my straight counterparts w/ “I can smell a fellow homo at 500 paces! The eyes are the quickest give away. I’m a roamer. My eyes are always roaming. I can’t help it. The quick glance or stare is always the easiest to spot. Or they look you up and down and then quickly look away. Ding! Then there are the guys who avoid eye contact in attempt to foil your signal. Little do they realize that’s also a dead give away. Duh! Oh and when you are sitting in a steam room w/a semi, I think it’s pretty obvious too.

In other less interesting news, I called in sick yesterday. I feel fine but my carpel tunnel was flaring up so I gave my fingers the day off. I have an ergo keyboard at home/work which is a god send. My case isn’t that bad however, I also have a light case of arthritis in my hands (not the crippling kind). When the two flare up together it tends to give me grief. My roomies works a 9 to 5’er so we took the opportunity to go shopping at Pottery Barn. He felt left out the other day when I did my power shopping at Ikea. We needed a few more knick-knacks for the living room. We have very different tastes it seems. We are making headway though. He likes ultra contemporary and I tend to like lots of hardwoods w/strong lines. Thank goodness we agree on colors.


Oh, and I bought a new watch (again) today. I managed to break the last one. Which is why I rarely spend over a $100 on a watch. I’m hard on my toys.

Texas – Day 1

I’m coming to the end of day one. I made it safe and sound and the flight was uneventful.

My day started at 5:00am pacific coast time. I often end up running late for one reason or another but this time I was right on time. I found myself sitting down to eat a very over priced breakfast after going thru security at the airport.

Barring that, it was actually pretty good. Fresh croissant, eggs, bacon, and potatoes.

The flight, while full, was very uneventful. I sat toward the back and watched movies on the laptop the whole way.

Of course, right off the plane, I had to have me some Whataburger. I loves me some Whataburger. Kel? I’m having some for you too!

And then to round off the day, Trevan and I had dinner at Barnaby’s, one of our favorite local restaurants.

Does this sound familiar? For all my pretense, I really am a creature of habit when it comes to eating out.

So day one is fast coming to an end. I’m off to meet some friends for a drink and then calling it an early night. Oh and thanks for the frappr pics!

Name Dropper

I’m having a “that current popular kiddy bimbo” girl moment…

I ran into v-hold in the castro today. Him and his sexy husband were there “representing”. *G* They really do make an adorable couple. *sigh*

homer also called and left me a quick message. I’m at work at the moment so couldn’t answer. Text’ing me works so much better.

Chad Fox is mia as usual and Kel found a place to live. I even noticed Dunner is back in town.

I had my 2nd “Body by Moby” installment all ready to post and clicked the back button and erased it by mistake. Arrrrrggh! Now I get to retype it all.

I wore a sleeveless shirt to work today and all the girls were cooing. Whatever. I didn’t wear it for them, it is hot outside today. And speaking of, what the hell are you doing sitting in front of your computer reading blogs…get outside! Go on, shoo!

Helga To The Rescue!

Helga!

I guess all my frustration at not being productive yesterday built up. I was soooo productive today.

I. . .
cleaned the kitchen
vacuumed the apartment
bought a new broom, mop, and light timer.

But wait! There’s more.

I. . .
went to the gym
paid bills
cleaned the desk (again)
mailed Large Tony‘s Tshirt (again)
went for a ride on the bike
bought some fresh flowers
and went to a 2nd showing of X-men 3.

I even managed to squeeze in some time to be a dirty slut. Whew! I’m tired. *g*

I still need to do some laundry though. Notice I saved the worst for last.

And how is your post holiday week going?

Work Work Work II

I’m over this week. Nothing overly exciting just over it. You know how it is. The weekend fast approaching and you get ants in your pants.

I was goofing off w/the camera and snapped this pic of my buddy kristaki. He so ignunt. Didn’t anybody tell him flipping off the camera is ‘so 80’s’? *g*

Oooops!

Everyone was taking so many pics over the past weekend, I forgot that I actually snapped off a few. I guess I’m the only one who got the group shot. I remembered after hearing brettcajuns podcast this morning.

Left to right brettcajun, Kel, Dan turning 40, woof brandon, Tony, homer, Steve, Jeff, Sean, & Glenn

Not to be left out, I had to get one w/me in it. hehehe
