Performer just dropped by to pick up a divine Grand Marnier cake he had brought to share last night and then left here. Yes, I live on yogurt, granola, spinach, et al., but I had to taste this cake, because its smell was overpowering and wonderful.
So he dropped by for half an hour (on [...]
A year ago yesterday, Friday October 27, 2006, I had my first date with Rolly.
I was thinking of it yesterday, a year later, because the days turned out to be superficially similar. Of course I would have no way of remembering what I’d done a year ago if it hadn’t been for that famous/infamous [...]
I’m going to be The Pope.
That is, Pope Mimi I.
My “opinion,” delivered infallibly because ex cathedra:
No more rules!!
I’ve thrown them all out!
Any two consenting beings over 18 may screw one another!
Or any one consenting being may screw his/her/itself.
The only rule:
have fun!
And charge it to me:
Pope Mimi I.
If you see someone wearing a tall mitre and [...]
Morning of 21 October
Sunday. In bed alone. Performer away for a week performing.
I was in a space that was meant to be the company I work for, but it wasn’t really. Had somehow met a man who was a father of a younger colleague; her name was ‘Christina Eddy,’ but [...]
DATE OF ORIGIN
– first saw the new apartment on Monday 3 December 2006; knew within about 20 seconds it was the right one for me
– first met the new man on Tuesday 26 June 2007; knew within about 15 seconds he was the right one for me
SIZE
– the new apartment was smaller than [...]
1) because I went to a reading given by a friend and happened to sit behind a Famous Writer who was once Rolly’s lover! I hadn’t seen her since (as a freshman in college 43 years ago) I heard her read. This time, of course, I had great reason to look at her! [...]
I hate meat, patriotism, sunshine, heat, and (therefore) the Fourth of July.
Performer hates dogs and Halloween.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being Like Totally Unamerican, how unamerican are Performer and I together?
Vignettes from my first visit to Performer’s New York apartment
* * *
His first wedding was in June (so was mine) and his second wedding was in October (so was mine). Don’t know when his third wedding was.
The apartment was full of ghosts, mostly the ghosts of all the women [...]
THE DREAM
morning of 12 October
I was in a spaceship with two other people, I think a man and a woman. I was in the back. I was scared and didn’t understand how I had got myself involved in such a thing, knowing how I hate flying and am entirely uninterested in the space program. Recently [...]
You promised you’d talk about sex if we continued the interview.
I don’t remember making any such promise.
You absolutely did! it’s on the record! you posted it!
Not exactly: when you complained that I hadn’t said anything about sex, I pointed out that you hadn’t asked. There was no promise made.
You think [...]
