(multiple updates below) This is me on my back balcony today. I love rainy Saturday afternoons in the spring. In a few weeks, this fledgling sky-top garden is going to look like a floral jungle! A great benefit of b…
I read this today, and it got me thinking: Internalized self-hatred externalized as over-ambition: it's classic, it's fabulous. Of course that's a perfect description of me. My whole work ethic, fostered in a culture …
Ugh, I really don't want to work today! Yesterday: Great Abs Day at the gym with Chucky, including 200 crunches, the twisty-oblique-thingy, and various leg lifts. I'm determined to have visible abs someday (possibly on…
I love Dimitrios. That is all tonight.
A poem for a rainy Saturday: I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame;I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds don…
Wow, this week totally flew by! I guess being busy makes the time go faster, and there certainly are no idle hands here. Yesterday I worked a lovely 12 hour day, between school and the church job. I really can't wait …
Viva il Papa! So, we got a Nazi-Pope this time around. Yes, Pope Benedict XVI, formerly Cardinal Ratzinger, was briefly a member of the Hitler Jugend and did wartime service with a German army anti-aircraft unit. Acc…
Good morning kids. As usual, I'm writing from my bed, where I'm having coffee, reading the news online and watching the Today Show on tele. Alas, all of these things are totally unremarkable today. It's a very slow ne…
Ah, spring is here! Yesterday, I had breakfast with Adrian and Jay at Effie's (my favorite diner a few blocks from my flat). Then Dave, Michael Suth and I walked to Elizabeth Park and around the West End and enjoyed th…
UPDATE: OMG, I just ordered Chinese food. And, the music keeps getting better:
Well, it's not quite martini time, but it certainly is something! Dimitrios was going to come up this evening, but he spent his afternoon off with Mango, and got too drunk to drive up. Right now he's home attempting …
Yay weekend. Been a busy week, but I'm off from exactly now until Sunday morning. Time to relax! Ahhh.
What a good weekend! Yesterday (after working in the morning) Dimitrios and I spent the day outside in the sun, mostly Jeep related. First, we fixed the sway bar link on his Jeep (which was kind of a pain in the ass). …
A few quick bits: Saw Walk on Water last night with Dimitrios. We both liked it, even if it was a little corny. (although, we might have been pretty stoned...) Today was uneventful, remarkable only in that it was …
Ahh Monday. I'm determined not to get stressed out this week, and therefore am sitting on my couch having coffee at 1:00 in the afternoon (after coaching for 3 hours this morning). I think also I am going to try to giv…
Oh boy, Cooper had much too much too drink last night. Chuck and I hit the gym and the mall (although I failed to find a fabulous white spring shirt, which was my mission). Then a drink at the Polo Club, where some B-l…
Ok. Cooper needs a drink in a big way. This week was surprisingly busy, and I'm feeling really exhausted and burned out. A vacation would probably do me a lot of good, but that's out of the question for the next m…
Ugh, I don't feel like going to work today. At least it's a relatively short day, I'll be done by 3:30. But right now the bed is difficult to leave. One more tasteless Terri Schiavo comment: "I'm starting a new diet: …
