Senator, is that you?
I’ve had some disturbing search queries find my site in the last few days. Here are two:
“Man boy masturbate technique”
“my blog masturbated ass”
I don’t want to know what these Internet users look like.

On the way home today, I stopped at a light behind a row of cars, and who should cross in front of me but Joyce DeWitt, i.e. Janet of Three’s Company. She’s 54 now, and she hopped out of a large SUV (brand new, no plates). I looked, thinking, is that really Joyce DeWitt? But after she gave me a look that said, sheepishly, “Yes, I am Joyce DeWitt, and I do drive a brand new SUV and wear a sort of pinkish track-suit thingy,” I knew it was her.
Thought you’d all like to know this. My friend Scott, upon hearing this news, reminded me of four years ago when I saw Gillian Anderson (“Scully”) in Borders. I’d forgotten all about that. True.

I got a bit behind on everything last night when I made the mistake of drinking two appletinis, and then with a friend who was over for a visit continuing with two “short spicy brunettes,” a concoction made of 1 shot vodka, 2 shots peppermint Schnapps, and 2 shots Baileys. Yes, they taste good. Yes, I got completely knotted. There went the evening. My friend fared much worse than me, drinking on an empty stomach. We blamed our condition and the puking that followed forthwith on Bush and the war, the sensible thing to do.
I spent today recovering and writing. More posts tomorrow when things return to normal.

Yo my peeps, I just got back from today’s protest march. Not as many people as last week, so I hear, but still about 2 blocks’ worth of people. And for some reason I didn’t see the usual suspects there today. It seemed to be all new faces. I did run into a few friends: Duncan, Candace, Jim. I heard my dad would be there, but I didn’t see him. We did two die-ins along Street, which gave me a chance to rest my feet, ho ho ho.
Seriously though, where are all the black and Latino protestors? Seeings a lot of their sons and daughters are dying in Bush’s empire-building slaughter, you’d think they’d be equally represented here, as they are in the general population. The question for us is why they aren’t turning up and how we can get them to. There’s passing references to “the racism of the anti-war movement” on KPFK, but I’ve never heard anyone lay out the case for that. So, what’s up?
It’s a nice sunny day today too, and there’s birds savaging the bird feeder: blue jays and little tits. (That should increase the Google hits).
