You’re a bunch of lousy enablers! I never even knew I WANTED boots with spikes and chains on them before! *sob* …and while I am sitting, staring in mute lust at these boots, a buddy calls and says “Hey, wanna go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show?” which is of course exactly the sort of […]

…oh man, I am experiencing serious Boot Lust right now. And they’re even in my size! No. Must be virtuous. Must not succumb. *drooling sounds*
Today I went shoe shopping. I am not a woman who collects shoes. I do not have a closet jammed full. I have a coupla pairs of nifty sandals, a generic pair of Black Shoes, my trusty Birkenstocks and a pair of steel-toed hiking boots for tromping around after birds. And that is all. (Most […]
You guys remember all those times I’ve told you that no ideas are ever wasted? If you listen to nothing else I say about anything, if you discard all my thoughts on life and death and love and sex and happiness and misery and every other damn thing I go on about at the drop […]

Plus stuff was getting shaggy and needed a trim, and other areas….err….well, bugger shaving for a lark, anyway. Owing to the season, my stylist/fashion […]
So my buddy Linda calls me up… L: “So what are you doing?” U: “…I’m playing this…virtual…birdwatching…game…” L: … L: “Okay, get your coat, I’m getting you out of the house NOW.” I deserved that.
Oy. Had one of THOSE dreams last night. Sex and birdwatching. Not restful at the best of times, made significantly worse when it’s about someone you actually know and who’s bones you’d jump in a heartbeat if they were even remotely interested. Plus the ducks all turned out to be domestic variants and thus not […]
