sticking it to the man

ah, blogging at work. is there anything finer? So confession time. I was supposed to go to this meeting in RI. I got on the train, it was running really. late painfully late you might say. By the time I got to Providence I was about 45 minutes late and I needed a drink stat! K and I went for cocktails, moved on to dinner, more cocktails and needless to say, I did not attend the meeting. Thank god! no A/V and rambling people for 3+ hours. I don't think so! I called and told them my train was having issues and after sitting for some time on the tracks we were offloaded and I ended up taking the train back to Boston. Screw that meeting! I didn't want to go in the first place.
Anyway, some idiots left a bag sitting at South Station and now they have frozen all trains into SS and evacuated the place! Excitement she wrote! Those kookie terrorists have their sight set on SS and Boston. Numerous thoughts are running through my head at this moment, most of them in extreme bad taste.
It was not a fun train ride in this morning. I was ready to smack some people who had no idea how to navigate the T. Tourists can cram it!

rant for the day (cont)
my co-worker loves to listen to "lite" classic rock. I am currently being subjected to Uncle Kracker. since when is he classic? idiotic perhaps but certainly not my idea of classic rock! Normally my day is full of Journey, BTO, War etc which I can handle. Until the Strawberry Alarm Clock makes an appearance and then it is all over!

okay back to work...maybe

maintaining forward momentum

nice being here. Virtual space has come to be comforting. The real world has been far too intrusive lately. I am hitting the point where I feel like all I do is work, and not in a good way. Catering, PI, film festival. Its really getting to be a bit much. Maybe I am finally realising that I don't have to keep moving? Sometimes sitting still can be a good thing. Did I just say that? I must be getting old. I have started backing out of committments. I was supposed to help produce a radio show at school for the trans community. The host kept giving me a hard time because I had to miss meetings to work, so I proceded to back out and told her that I am sure there are plenty of other people who can take my place...see ya!
I am in the midst of three books. new Potter, the World is Flat, and the Diamond Age. One I can't put down, one I can't wait to finish and probably won't and the other i just don't know about.
thats all I got.
music of the moment: Doobie Bothers (insert weed related joke here)

Been a long time since them days

ah, it has been ages. I can't even remember the last time I wrote here. That certainly means I should be focusing. Things have been hello crazy. I don't know how it happened but I find myself overbooked in the middle of summer! I have spent most weekends catering. when not catering I am sucked in to fix the apartment. Not that I mind that, I love my apartment. It looks sweet and I have the hyper anal nature of big C to thank for that. However, when I am working 6 days a week, it is not so fun!
Music of the moment: Iron Maiden: flight of icarus. momentary sidebar. I am 13, I am living in Guam, going to a Catholic school that happens to be in the middle of the jungle with chickens and pigs running around it (I kid you not) and I am am introduced to Maiden. truly transformative. It is any wonder that I have a sense of the surreal? MTV is kind enough to ruin this moment by following up with the Vinnie Vincent Invasion theme song to a Freddie Kruger film. Reminds me of my high school girlfriend...hello extremely gay moment! she was head of the girls basketball team!
anyway. I was asked to sign a confidentiality agreement at work today. It turns out that the only way I can get access to the database that I need, because I am covering for someone who quit!, is to sign this form. Whatever. I was wondering when it would happen. In my new position I am hearing way too much financial gossip. gotta write that shit down. In case you haven't guessed I have been moved from my rather tedious position to one that requires I pay attention!! fuckers!
On top of all this, the Rhode Island International FIlm Festival program is finally finished. I am sooo over that mother fucker.
this all brings me back to the fact that I am over booked! I finally emailed some people that I had agreed to help and said, "you know what, I don't think so!" fuck em, I am extremely over that shit! the summer is going to be over and my ass will have spent it schlepping for bitches! hell no.
god damn it! now they are playing fuckin Starship! Hey, I love Mannequin as much as anyone. Meshach Taylor represents the gay man in all of us but seriously. Someone had to stop them from playing music.

okay, this is over. my night is ruined. to bed and Harry Potter!


keep quiet you sickos!
