Flakes

It snowed for about 10 minutes in NYC this afternoon. A fickle moment of winter. I stood @ the corner of Waverly & Greene in Soho and tried to catch it on film, just to make sure I wasn’t imagining it.

I skipped outta work early today @ noon; I’d gotten there @ 7am and by 9am I just couldn’t do it anymore… just one of them days that bitch goes through. Anyone else ever feel like that? I think it was the weight of knowing I’m scheduled 6 days in a row before my days off, and also I’ve been feeling under the weather all week but kind of kept ignoring it — so it’s all catching up with me now. Need to get rested up though, cuz I’m supposed to see Kathy Griffin @ Carnegie Hall tomorrow night and come hell or high-fever I will be in my seat @ 8:00pm. Might be sneezing every 20 seconds but I’ll be there, dammit.

P stopped by tonight to swap dogs. He got himself a new puppy over the weekend (Lucy — and yes, that makes FOUR dogs in our lives now) and is trying to crate-train her, so he figured he come get Mo from me and try to train him too. He’s so determined to turn my pee machine pup into a well-behaved dog, it’s adorable. He left with Mo and told me, “Say goodbye to him now. I’m not bringing him back till he works”. It’s very The Miracle Worker, with his Anne Bancroft to my dog’s Patty Duke. I can just picture it, The Breakthrough: my boyfriend stressed at wits end, hair looking all fucked up and sweaty, and my dog suddenly making the connection that you Don’t Pee On the Hardwood Floor. Mo will slowly find a wee-wee pad, squat, and do his business where it goes, and P will weep with joy, pat his head, and scream “He knows! He knows!”. Can you see it?

Another Reason

January 16th, 2007 / 2 comments »

The No Pants Subway Ride came back again yesterday.

Everyone Drop Your Pants!

This is why I love New York; cuz in a city where blackouts, terrorism, and transit strikes only reinforce our jaded stances, folks still find ways to let it all hang out… in public, quite literally. Perfect strangers dancing around in their underwear. Yet another reason why my city rocks more than yours. Also more indication as to why I can’t ever seem to spend more than 2 days away from this city. Well, maybe also cuz I can’t drive, but whatever.

For the Queers

Stop what you’re doing. Just watch.

Gay Gyllenhaal on SNL

I love that Jake knows who his core fanbase is, and I love that he gets the joke and can poke fun at it. The gay cowboys in the audience are my favorite, next to the beefcake arms. Love the Gyllenaahl for this (and for that), and that he did it full-out without camping it all up like most straight guys would (“Look, I’m a guy in a dress! That’s funny, see? Cuz I’m a GUY in a DRESS!”). Hilarious, I was peeing myself at my computer.

Still though, let’s not forget who went there first. Mmkay?

All this and Jennifer Hudson won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, first award of the night. I sat on my futon crying in front of the TV, overidentifying as usual. Between all the crying and peeing this weekend I’m just drained.
