All set for PFLAG fundraiser next Saturday

I had told Maureen that I would teach an English Country Dance for the PFLAG Fundraiser at Trance on Saturday, August 6. Yeah, I know it’s geeky, but I thought that an act with some participation might be a change. I had a few CD’s, but I most wanted to do Sellenger’s Round, since . . . → Read More: All set for PFLAG fundraiser next Saturday

1st Degree Gardnerian and an online chat

So, we finally set it up that last night was the initiation for me to become a first degree Gardnerian. It went fairly well, and everyone was very nice and friendly. The odd thing is that I had what I thought at the time was a first degree Gardnerian initiation back in January of . . . → Read More: 1st Degree Gardnerian and an online chat

Newsletter done, T-Shirt received

We finished up doing the August issue of Erie Gay News this weekend, and I have everything all set for the folding/distributing work party tonight. I am hoping that it goes okay.

Initiation set for Saturday

Well, it looks like I will officially be a Gardnerian Wiccan as of this Saturday. I set this up recently with the High Priestess & High Priest and it should be fine. I am looking forward to it. Not so much because having an external label is some kind of validation, but just to . . . → Read More: Initiation set for Saturday

Housewife manual from 1955 – wow.

Wow. My friend Paula sent me the gem above. Sort of a window into gender roles. I commented back to her that one could just replace the housewife with an inflatable date that could cook and their wouldn’t be that much difference. Sure, supporting one’s spouse and being happy to see them are . . . → Read More: Housewife manual from 1955 – wow.

A really expensive day off

Oy. I noticed an occasional drip-drip sort of leak in the ceiling of the kitchen, so I called the plumbers, who stopped out today. (Cute guys, but that wasn’t the point.) It turns out I had a leaky shower and there was some major problems resulting. Joy. Since I had to stay home anyway, . . . → Read More: A really expensive day off

Geek rating – like this will surprise anyone???

So after reading this article about dork/nerd pride, I took the One True Geek Test. I know I did well on computer stuff, but I am not into gaming. I actually thought that the geekiness rating was rather low.

The Simple Geek You answered 75% of the questions as a geek truly would. You . . . → Read More: Geek rating – like this will surprise anyone???

UNBELIEVABLE internalized homophobia

Just when you think you can’t possibly be shocked, there comes something like this. Antigay superstar Senator Rick Santorum’s chief of staff and communications Robert Traynham just came out. (And I am laying odds that he was probably close to being outed. Read the comments – that sounds like a man trying to head . . . → Read More: UNBELIEVABLE internalized homophobia

Weird dream about cats and kittens

I had gotten up earlier today to let the dogs out, an then laid down for a nap. (I frequently sleep in shifts.) After getting up, I went to hug my cat Henry, and recalled having a weird dream I had just had. I should mention that my 2 current cats are both neutered . . . → Read More: Weird dream about cats and kittens

Dance to the Muzak!

Oy! We are having a problem at work with a piece of software, so I called up the company’s tech support line. I am currently on hold with possibly some of the whitest, most Caucasian Muzak EVER! Something like Mitch Miller, but not so hip or contemporary. It’s like being trapped in an elevator. . . . → Read More: Dance to the Muzak!
