a kiss on the cheek*:

gentleman, or, just not interested?
*actually, many kisses on the cheek; one every time we part, sometimes two.

sanguine

Last Sunday afternoon I met the Professor for Korean food in Uptown. We ate spring rolls and bowls filled with rice noodles, peanuts, pork, and bean sprouts.
After we ate, we walked around his neighborhood, looking at the exotic–to me, anyway–items in the near-by Korean grocery stores. There were whole sardines on ice, huge bags of [...]

sexual healing

I’ve been on many dates recently. Yesterday I had two- a coffee date with a large, bearded avanat garde theater artist, and a stout and sushi and Arrested Development “date” with my friend Sideburns.
The first date was okay. The fellow was interesting, but I didn’t feel much of a spark, and I had to [...]

the new year begins: food porn and zombies

Seth and I had a decadent five course dinner at Bite cafe for New Year’s Eve. The menu was:

endive leaves (?) stuffed with goat cheese, candied walnuts and pumpkin seeds
corn and potato chowder with parmesan crostini
green salad with champagne vinaigrette
skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, Gruyere mashed potatoes, and sauted zucchini
blondie sundae and free coffee.

Then we [...]

photographs.

Seth is an actor. Recently he went to have new head-shots taken, because his current ones haven’t been garnering him much commercial work (tv, commercials, industrial films). He asked me to go to his photo-shoot with him so he would be in a good mood for the shoot. You see, when he had his last [...]

oh so sensitive

I get that same ohmigod feeling when I look at the websites of former employers that I do when I run across pictures of exboyfriends. Is that weird?

Besides being broke-ass po’ (I make enough money, it’s just that it took so long for it to start actually getting paid to me, I am [...]

fucking paula dean (adjective, not verb)

“I like the little curl at the ends of your hair,” he said, taking a piece of it in his fingers and giving it a twist.“Yeah, the longer my hair gets, the more the waviness of it asserts itself,” I said, wrinkling my nose at him and doing my best to look adorable. Apparently it [...]

an email I sent to Seth

dear seth,
I sigh–a wistful, girlish sigh, born of longing rather than boredom. I think of how a wink from you can undo me, like a button being unbuttoned, like a door being opened. I think of things less wholesome; “we’re bare, somewhere in my mind“, and my lips are on your neck, at their favorite [...]

pear-shaped and rambling

I took a long ass nap after my all day class, and now I feel out of sorts. I have to write a couple pages about an issue raised by class before tomorrow, but other than that I don’t really have any work to do for it. I had strange, strange, strange dreams, mostly involving [...]

hi-lites, bullets, briefly

My new apartment is coming together. My old apartment has still not been rented. I still hate my former roommate.
I am fostering five kittens, and gosh, they sure are cute! Alas, they also poop alot–hence, I will never be a crazy cat lady.
Things with Seth are going well. Very well. He’s getting busy right now [...]
