Caught In the Net

I was cleaning out my computer and I found all my back entries dating back to 2003 up until shortly before I started here. I spent the last few days going back and reading entries at random, and ...

Mannequine Maquillé

Richard does nothing but send me 10+ Instagram Reels videos a day. It drives me absolutely nuts. I mean, I adore him (I’m glad we’re not close in proximity any longer because we’ve definitely div...

Rooms

I was out with Bane the other night. I’d somehow gotten tricked into going out when I really didn’t want to. He had a friend visiting from Bali (I’m still not completely sure how they knew each o...

Six Days Seven Nights

I am finally back at work. We had a six day weekend… that’s right. Read that again. I was off from Friday to Wednesday. I know for some of you that is a dream come true, however I felt like I was...

Karma Barbie

It’s been such a weird month. I looked around at everything happening and thought to myself, something has to be in retrograde like Mercury or Venus or the 5th House or whatever this stuff means…...


I just finished a corporate gig teaching English at an import company here in Bangkok. I’m sitting at this incredibly fancy restaurant, having an overpriced drink and just wondering about things....


Frankie invited me to his show a few weeks ago. Usually I try to stay out of the ballroom scene here because I feel it really isn’t my scene, but Frankie was going to DJ for the first time, so I ...

Thanks, Jane Fonda

I was listening to the one podcast I listen to (Kathleen Madigan does one where she just randomly talks about things) and I happened to hear that one of the old businesses I worked for went under...

An American Haunting...

Well, I am moving again. I wasn’t really looking to move until the last couple of months. Since Cameron’s visit, my electricity bill has skyrocketed to the point where it’s not a little over half...


I was out with Bane the other night when all of the sudden Good came over and started flirting with me. It was totally strange. Good was the guy who broke my heart almost a year ago on the day my...


While cleaning up my hard drive to prepare for the new school year, which starts in 10 days (yikes!), I found the downloaded copy of my blog from 20 years ago. I was reading it and I can see in-b...

Boys Will Be Boys

I’m not sure if it’s the arrogance or something else, but by day 3 of my little brother’s visit, I was ready for him to leave… and we still had 2 weeks left to go. It’s not as if there was anythi...

Not the Reddit post....

I’ve often heard it said that it’s more difficult to make friends when you’re older than when you’re a youngster. Supposedly it has to do with the fact that we’ve learned in our later years how d...

Coming Between Me and Whoopi

I spent most of the beginning of the month asleep with acute food poisoning (aka salmonella). That has to be one of the worst illnesses I’ve ever had in my life. It has taken me weeks just to get...

A Toast to KissOfLife!

Honestly, New Year was a trainwreck so let’s just jump right beyond that. A few weeks ago, I finally went on the Pride Cruise that goes all around Bangkok. It was fun and extremely random. I made...

Advice From Cleopatra

Due to a legal document I signed, I cannot discuss what happened in the Red Room, except to say that it definitely met all my expectations and I have not only been invited back but asked to parti...

Scheduling Deforestation

I recently found out that part of the reason why I’ve had so many health problems recently is because I’ve drinking coffee that I’m allergic to. It’s so nice to realize that my seizures are a res...

The Rogues Gallery

I’m very blah. Nothing’s wrong, I just don’t feel like I have much going on right now. That sounds depressing, but I’m not actually depressed. I’m just not excited about anything. I went out the ...


I was trying to find a survey because I really didn’t feel like writing, but as I was searching for something, I realized how awful the internet has become. I’m sure many of you remember how the ...

Let me check my horoscope...

I looked around at the hotel room. On my way back from checking the bus schedule, two of the bar boys from the place I’d been last night asked hopefully if they’d see me again that evening. I did...

the Difference

I return to work on Monday after 3 weeks of no classes and for some reason, I’m incredibly nervous about it. I feel like I haven’t prepared or something. I severely injured my foot on my birthday...

New Foobs

I’ve been really disconnected from music these last couple of months, but something funny happened. In West Hollywood, FUBAR closed. The Foobs (as we called it) was where I spent most of my time ...

Garbage in the background...

Do you put ketchup on hot dogs? I haven’t had a hot dog in sooooo long… I really want a chili cheese dog (they have frankfurters here, but I wouldn’t really call them hot dogs, and no buns… they ...

The 1990's Entry

I imagine my friends say that I should put myself out there and try new things, but that’s a lie. Nobody’s ever actually said that to me, it’s just something that appears in my head whenever I tu...

E-X-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-N

It was a few days before finals and I was reviewing the material with my youngest group of students, they’re between 11 and 12 years old. We were playing Hangman and they had gotten the first two...
