I've been reading the manuscript for Erika for quite a while. It's the newest Michael Muhammad Knight book, "Blue-Eyed Devil" about his search for an American Islam. I'm not quite done yet but it's really fun at least. There's a brilliant lovely and cute-as-all-motherfucking-hell love story and a bunch of great incites and whatnot. You know. Good stuff. Plus he's a hot punk rocker...

I'm getting more hours at work so hopefully I'll be able to actually make rent sooner or later. However, that means I'll be working 60 + hours a week. Which sucks. But whatever, it's Quiznos and not spinal surgery or astronotical landing or something. I want to get back to school - real school. I want to be in a community of people who are interested in things that are related to what I'm interested in and whatnot. I want to be able to do things. Doing this thing with Autonomedia and Erika feels good. I miss community. I miss going out and being silly. Fucking hell, I miss food that has flavor and being able to go out for a cup of coffee.

But, Nadja, my dog, is still cute as hell, and seems to have gone off his 'i hate your job so i'm going to eat your books' movement again. let's hope it's for good this time.... and uh, I'm lonely and he's sleeping and the house heat is on and it's far too hot. But I feel ok right now and umm ... yes ... I think I'm going to go have a drink and perhaps go to sleep before I have to go back to work.

Oh! Oh wait! In honor of the birthdays of two famous lesbian-tranny pirates we're having a Faggoty Pirate party on the 30th. If you wanna come, I'll give you directions. Word.
