Sound Down


So Kimm and I have been watching the first season of the L word.
We don't have cable so we rely on our friends to tape stuff for us that is culturally relevant in some way.
We enjoy watching straight girls kiss and make-out and that hasn't really been done on T.V. before.
Anyway, we've decided we like it best with the sound off.
Katherine Moenning is pretty hot. Jennifer Beals still has that nice ass. AND it's got goddamn Pam Grier! I wonder how they got her on the show? I can't imagine what Guinevere Turner must have said to convince her...

SF Pride Parade 2006


Remember Josie Cotton? "Johnny are you queer?" Here she is performing with a cute dancer on the main stage at this years Pride Parade Festival.
Saturday night we went to the Dyke March. We succesfully partied at a friend's house before hand. Marched. Danced to the Whoa Nellies (Fun SF band fronted by ex-Elvis Herselves). Ate like pigs. Then went to another party. Crashed at friend H and N's place. Got up and went to the Civic Center to troll around and buy "M" Brownies--This year we got lucky and also got a "M" pound cake! We'll put that in the freezer and save it for a river trip in August or September.

HOT

It's so focken hot here today.
Do you like how I changed that ONE word in the last sentence? I haven't seen that version and I'm running with it.
Memories of HOT Redding nights:
I would swing on the swing set after dinner when I was kid. I'd watch the sky get darker and the night would fill up with good smells of orange blossoms and mimosa trees.
Later when I was older I'd run around barefoot with my friends thru the neighborhood at night and toilet paper peoples houses. We were never afraid of creepy perv's.
When I was 16 or so I'd jam with my band in my girlfriends parents garage in the outskirts of town near the lake. We were so far out there no one complained about the sound.
While I was in my college freshman year. I would sit in a small group of girls by the pool side of my bestfriend. We'd try and out-attitude each other.

Kris--Or--All my best friends die on solstices


Here is a photo of Kris and I and our friend Nancy from our days at "the BYU". Kris is in the red shirt looking adorable. Nancy has the peace sign. I of course am the one in the back looking miserable. Today is year #4 without Kris.
I miss her everyday.

We used to sing along to "Los Angeles" by X in her kelly green volkswagen bug. Screaming at the top of our lungs.
We had so much fun together.
As Exene says in the song Los Angeles--"She found it hard to say goodbye to her own best friend". That's still how I feel about Kris.
