I LOVE Ren Faire. Much fun and debauchery on Saturday. I mean, how can you not have debauchery when Greg M. is involved! We drank even before we left the house…you know where this is going, right? I’ll put up the SLIDE show here later, but in the meantime, check out my Ren Faire flickr set. I had 2.5 cups of mead. Would’ve been three but I didn’t drink the last one fast enough before we had to exit the Faire. Everyone else in our group other than Brandon surely had a LOT more than me. Oh and we went...

ETA #2: The girls couldn’t place Athena in a shelter so they dumped her at Cal State Long Beach. Apparently there is a ground where people feed all the strays and feral cats. Thanks everyone for the help to try to place Athena in a good home even from the shelter. ETA: The manager came back on Saturday afternoon, and once again lost her shit about the cat. The girls had to take Athena to a shelter straight away. We have all SUNDAY to get her to a home. The girls are going to take her to a shelter on...

I KNEW it was too good to be true when Athena started to hang out with us, when she comes running to me when she hears the jangles of the keys, when she sits purring on our floor begging us to rub her belly and every elsewhere on her fluffy black coat with a twinge of orange tabby pattern. I don’t think it wouldn’t have been a big deal if the manager lady found Athena napping on the wicker chair, but the food and water bowls set the woman off. According to the girls, the lady lost her shit and...

Bits and snippets vverheard on the streets of Downtown Los Angeles, where the immigration march tomorrow is going to vastly affect everyone’s commute home. A: Why do they have to pick the rush hour to have an assembly? This is so inconvenient. B: Um, isn’t that the point of a protest? A: Yes. But what about MY rights to go home on time? MY rights to not be stuck in traffic? MY rights not to have to take the day off so I don’t get stuck in all of this mess? You know how we can disperse the crowd really...

I returned to writing for Thai-Blogs.com after a long hiatus (read: writer’s block of a massive scale) with this lightly saucy entry about a report that 70% of Thai women don’t have orgasm. The first draft of this piece was pretty much that, plus some personal experience. But then I read it, and I wasn’t sure if I want to include that much information. Then I tried to tip-toe around it and talked about my experience without actually saying it. It was just dumb. So I left it out altogether. I know I write a lot about my personal life. ...

I witnessed a first up close and personal cat fight this afternoon, right in front of our door. A REAL cat fight. Not the human kind. It was Athena v.s. “Muffins” the Other Stray/Outdoor cat. (The girls downstairs called it a him and named him that.) I picked Athena up from downstairs instead of having her trail me when I came home. She didn’t protest any and made herself at home the moment she came through the door. She was eating in our doorway as usual, but then I spotted Muffins outside the door. Athena looked up from her bowl...
