So I was editing videos we made this last summer of our yearly vacation to Chicago and Wisconsin.
I ran across some shots of the best food in the whole world.
This is at Nuevo Leon, a restaurant in a neighborhood of Chicago called Pilsen, which is (was) overwhelmingly mexican/american.
Well it WAS.
Even when we started going there when I was in high school in the early 80's ( eeek ) the neighborhood had already been discovered by a few boho (in a good way) anglo artists.
Well that's fine.
It was cheap, if a bit rough, and it made for a really promising mix of cultures.
BUT, as always happens, rich yuppie pretentious air-head parasitic white couples started saying to each other-

"Hey honey - let's move to this vibrant lively edgy soon to be hip neighborhood and drive up property values and rents and drive the people who originally made this place cool out!!!"

"Gee, that's sounds great, dear! But let's send the kids to private school. They don't need to be exposed to the unsavory elements who still live around here."

"Yes, it's nice that it's hip and edgy, but there's no need to actually get ourselves dirty. Besides, if enough of US move in, it'll soon be safer when the mexicans get forced out."

"AND we can make a nice profit on the building we buy so cheaply when we sell it and move back to the wealthy northern suburbs in 5 years."

Oops!
Can I ever post without ranting anymore???
Actually I only meant to post these pics of my favorite food at my favorite restaurant.
These are their famous nachos.
Each homemade tortilla chip has, from bottom to top, melted cheese, refried beans, guacomole, a jalapeno slice, and sour cream.
I can fit a whole one in my mouth!


I have ALWAYS ordered the "combinacion" plate.
From day one when I was 14.
Here you see (clockwise from left) a tamale, beef tostada, cheese enchilada, beef taco:

At some point they started adding cilantro ( puke ), but I just pick it off.

Here's Anaxarete enjoying her combinacion plate:

That's sour cream on her lip - she doesn't have a buck tooth!

So here's what 10 more of you should do with your lives:

Bombshellfairy: Own your own pet grooming empire
BonnieBlu: Philisophical sociologist
Brandy77:Spinster old maid
Brixton: Start a punk rock community based women's wellness center
Bully: Dog trainer
Charm: Violin playing professor of literature
CheriAnna: Get a permanent boyfriend
Clio: Music writer
Clytie: Settle down and love yourself - don't search so hard
Columbia: Find the remaining Plasmatics and bring the band back to life



JUST WONDERIN:

1) Who do you love most (besides me)?

2) If you could only wear one pair of your shoes for the rest of your life (assuming they wouldn't wear out) what would they be?

3) Have you ever huffed?

4) When was the last time you shaved?

5) Do you ever have "make -up sex"? Is it a myth?

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
1) Anaxarete? Wave? I'm not choosing.
2) My converse (NOT Chucks) high tops - they are the most versatile
3) Oh god no!
4) 3 days ago?
5) Not really. I think it's pretty much a myth.

God I'm hungry. There's this awesome Mexican restaurant up in our little podunk farm town that blows my mind. It's so yummy. We have quite a significant Mexican/Mexican-American population up there because of the farms and Freshway produce.


1) Who do you love most (besides me)? Mommy or Daddy. And yes, I call them that.

2) If you could only wear one pair of your shoes for the rest of your life (assuming they wouldn't wear out) what would they be? Hm. . . My sneaks. Or if they were more comfy, my rattlesnake cowboy boots.

3) Have you ever huffed? AND puffed and blew those fuckin' pigs' door the fuck in!

4) When was the last time you shaved? Sunday? It had been a month and I was feeling a little bristley. . .

5) Do you ever have "make -up sex"? Is it a myth? I've never had it. One tiff and it's over with the guys I've dated. Normally doesn't even take that much!!!



I think about my soldier too much. . . We've been talking on the phone for hours at a time again. And he's being so sweet to me.




That movie is crazy. You should see it!

I don't think I liked Gert better, I just preferred to pretend to be her. I don't know why.

Man, that food looks good. I know I'm vegan, but I'm still allowed to admire it.

Oh, and I feel the same way about cilantro. I absolutely hate it. It makes me think of dirty dishcloths.

To answer your questions;

1.) Myself. Seriously though, I can't choose. I love a lot of people and animals.

2.) Well, there's this pair of awesome 80's pumps at my favorite vintage store. They are brown with a beige, African-ish pattern on them. They are too big for me, but if they fit, I'd wear those for the rest of my life.

3.) No.

4.) Today.

5.) I've never had "make-up" sex. I'm always too angry to even think about sex.

Only in the B's.

Blast!


1) Who do you love most (besides me)?

God. My son, of course... he's the most important thing int he world to me. My man... it's been a long time coming. He's put me through hell but I love him enough to forgive him.

2) If you could only wear one pair of your shoes for the rest of your life (assuming they wouldn't wear out) what would they be?

I have these little burgundy heels. They're sexy little shoes. I wish I had that pair in every colour known to man. I love sexy shoes.


3) Have you ever huffed?

I think I huffed earlier this evening. He said, "You're a heretic, but you're a pretty heretic." Oh the games we play.

4) When was the last time you shaved?

My legs... this afternoon. My girly bits... last night.

5) Do you ever have "make -up sex"? Is it a myth?

It's a myth. I do like to fuck when I'm angry or upset though. AND, if I am angry or upset, the best way to calm me down is to start touching me.
