According to these horoscopes, I'm a talentless drunk! It's so true.

I've been reading I, Claudius and I have been bugging people to tell me what depraved sexual things Tiberius indulged in. I think I'm just really jaded or I've read too much Brownmiller and Sisterhood if Global, but finding out virgins were raped so that they could be executed is so unbelievably NOT surprsing.

I got bought Radical Feminism for, oh, 30 cents. Nice! Why is still relevant thirty years later? Could the Berman sisters PLEASE FUCKING READ some Anne Koedt? Thanks. And then, could everyone else?

So I am going to Soho and the East Village and I am sooo tempted to use a 1978 guidebook. It's only for Soho, I wish it was for more of downtown! I love old guidebooks, don't you? I have a good Kate Simon one, too.

MESSALINA You hate your spouse. I mean, really, really hate your spouse. Your arranged marriage was a drunken joke concocted by Caligula, but you don't mind being married to Claudius the Idiot. Why? He's so stupid that he lets you do whatever you want. Sleep in seperate rooms? All the more reason for you to take in an extra lover or two, or five, or ten... You even married someone else while still married to Claudius, but who cares? Claudius is clueless, right? You were portrayed by Sheila White.

The I, Claudius and the Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf drinking games look a scream.

So, tonight's SVU just made one feel really creepy (Who was the actress? Why is she familar?) Plus, someone said "prick" again. Is such language allowed? Oh, and nice Crying Game style puking. And next week guest stars Fred Savage in a very "Dude, Sorry About Your Career" move. God, but there are lots of actors about whom I shout this at the TV.

Okay, should I subtitle Spittake "That Happy Grownup Female Feeling?", "Shagging you Stupid" or "Shiksa Goddess"?

I made some macaroons today. Is wax paper edible? Macaroons, peeps, and Jesus Christ Superstar Wheeee! It's Easter! Too bad I left my bunny ears at my parents'. I found my Barbie egg, I put it on the window sill.

Someone online brought this up, and I think it's a good idea: Noggin! Play reruns of Pinwheel! Sometimes I think I'm the only person who loved this show.

This freaky weather has meant bad headaches all week! Yuck.

I FINALLY finished my disposable camera so next week maybe there will be pictures of Xaviera Hollander! And me. And kitten golems. And my bookshelves? It will be exciting, folks. That is, if they turn out okay.

I think I am going to have a CDR give away sometime soon.

Goddammit it's spring, I need a boyfriend or something.

Holy Jesus, Genevieve from Trading Spaces was born in 1974. That's only two years older than I am! People! Give me $1000, and I will flit around barefoot in my jeans, hoop earrings, and rawk sleeveless tees. And maybe paint your room.

I saw the Mitzvah Tank today. I was soooo excited.

Oh ha ha Jack McCoy like the Beatles and "fusion jazz". Oh, new episodes....

I am watching the USA rerun of the creepy gay incest serial killer epsiode of SVU, and one of the characters says "my father doesn't know dick!" Whoa! That's acceptable on tv now? (And why did I miss this the first time it ran?) I know the other week someone was called a prick.

In other news, I bought two Ann-Margret books today, for about 30 cents each. I keep getting really good books on Sundays, where am I going to put them? And there was GAY PORN on the free table (duh, of course I took it).
Also:
Thing of Beauty: the Tragedy of Supermodel Gia
Sing Out, Louise! 150 Satrs of the Musical Theatre Remember 50 Years on Broadway (with a foreward by Jerry Orbach, yessssssssssssss)
The Queen's Throat: Opera, Homosexuality and the Mystery of Desire
The Gay Metropolis
Paul Fussell's Class Oh, the quiz at the end is funny, "merely upper-middle-class displaying his command of layering" and "The nipples already argue category X." HA HA HA

I finally figured out how to post the one very good photo of me that is floating around the ether on to a much frequented message board. Yay for shallow motivations! I want interweb mentalists to call me hot, or somethin'. Hello, fragile self esteem.

Other recent internet fun was indulging in gossip, and ohhhhhh it's wrong but it makes me feel better. Especially if you have heard a nasty story about someone you don't really like, and then someone tells you the same story but with even a nastier spin. Unlike Beyonce, I have no compunctions about dissing boys who fuck me over on the internet.

i r hawt

And I finally got it to work! Like a fool, I forgot to try to hook it up before I went to the mall, um, oops. So I looked online and Radio Shack says they have a 4ft 75 Ohm coaxial cable for $2.99. SO I go back and do they? NOOOOOOO all they have is over priced "gold series". So I went to Sears and got one for the same price that's 6ft! (Why is white cable 30 cents less than black?) Then I hooked it up, and after various downloads of owner's manuals, I can record! Unfortunately I can't record something while wtaching another channel, or program multiple channels, but what they hey. I can tape the last six Buffy's EVAH and that's what counts.

Oh and when picking up the VCR (I blame thank hstencil) I went to Pat Pong. I tried a kielbasa vegetable spring roll. Part of me wishes it went even further with the Polish/Thai fusion, but whatever. I'm no curry fan, but the vegetable curry was nice and not too hot for WASPY me. And yum yum Pad Thai. God, I really want another platter from one of the Eastern European restaurants in the East Village. Stuffed cabbage! Pierogies! Sausages! Latkes! Mmmmmmm.

I am reading the Halliwell's Film Guide. It's funny! And a book about England. Glastonbury! Arthur! Robin Hood! Well, that's the first section.

Which Sesame Street Muppet Are You?

So, according to the New Yorker, Noam Chomsky loves Law and Order. How can anyone dislike a L&O fan? Do you think he watches the spin-offs, too? Did he watch last night and see Frank Langella and think to himself "Dude, Langella? What happened to your career?" (Wait, I'm confused, that was ME) Was that the seediest SVU ever? They are getting kinda ooky lately. And the CI rerun was full of familar faces. They really are running out of actors. It's like watching Mystery/Masterpiece Theatre, but it's New York instead.

I went crazy with the dollar vinyl again. The $1 bin at Tunes looked like if a turn of the decade (80s/90s) college radio station had thrown up. Although, I found some neat things. There were NO showtunes! Amazing! Bryan Ferry's "These Follish Things" is good. Why did Jerry Hall dump him for Mick? Bryan would never have pulled that "I won't divorce you because we WERE NEVER ACTUALLY MARRIED haw haw haw" business, oh no.

these are all my friends

So my landlords' had an appraiser in this morning. When we got to my bedroom, and he commented on the Steve Keane paintings, I recognized the voice. Yes, I had an WFMU personality in my house! And now, NOW, I remember I am wearing the jeans with the big ripped hole on the thigh as well being sans brassiere. Err. Yay, Sloth.

Oh, and I got my first local coupon mass mailing! Soooo exciting, now I want to go to Scent of Italy. (They sent a menu). But, Jesus God, Lamp Post Bar & Grille, "Ladie's Night"? AY AY AY (Oh my god, they have karaoke.)

I am listening to my 2 pound Lil' Kim album. I had forgotten the the phrase "Lick the kitten" ! I must integrate this into my daily speech.
