Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Sadly, I did not get the BBQ. :(

This is seriously bizarre. I always end up loading these things without reading the directions, then I have no idea what I’m supposed to do. I didn’t even know until the end that getting the BBQ was an option.

Other Internet junkies are clearly more productive than me! Zero Wing + All Your Base Are Belong to Us = All Your Base Rhapsody

When It Rains It Pours

By Abby at 3:47 pm on Friday, June 24, 2005

OK, not pours exactly. So a few weeks ago, while I was still working in the closet, people kept walking past from the conference room saying things like, "Mmmmm. That felt good." Finally, I went out in the hall to see what was going on. They had hired a maseuse! But it was for STAFF ONLY. All day, that line from Snoopy, Come Home kept going through my head: NO DOGS ALLOWED!

So anyway, I just got a call, and this woman from work, a woman I actually really like, invited me to her house tonight for a spa treatment by this same lady. Damn, I could use that. What I wish is that the…

OH WAIT! OH WAIT! I can go tomorrow night at 8pm instead!!! I just checked my own blog. ADD is a bitch, huh? OK, so I’m going to the LIA Sucks Comedy thingy TOMORROW, and tonight it’s Spa-time! I ROOOOL!!! 

Update: Crap! Turns out it’s one of those buy-our-stuff parties. I can’t do that. I’m allergic. I’ll be at the meeting for Zach, but I probably won’t volunteer. I’m already doing as much as I have time for. I can’t tell you how behind I am on work stuff. It’s non-good.

Join Me Tonight

By Abby at 2:06 pm on Friday, June 24, 2005

EJ posted about this and asked we spread the word. EJ, consider it spread. I will be there. Just ambling over myself, so if I know you and I see you, I may join you. You know, unless you’re on a hot date. The sekrit signal will be to point at the person you’re with and say, "I’m on a date!"

The following information came from the Memphis Digital Arts Co-op:

Friday June 24th 7:00pm

The MGLCC will host the QAC, and the community to speak about the recent protests, and talk about further events, as well as an adgenda for the future of educating the public, and taking action when action is called upon.

Friday June 24th 8pm, and Saturday June 25th 8pm

Peterson Toscano, a former Love in Action client, will be coming to Memphis to perform his one-person play, Doin’ Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House. See for yourself what happens behind the doors of America’s zaniest ex-gay residential program! Through five characters Toscano takes you on a tour of the Homo No Mo Halfway House, a 12-Step Christian program that attempts to save men from the snares of homosexuality through bizarre rules, a masculine resuscitation regime and brain numbing reconditioning. Based on Toscano’s real life experience floundering in various Ex-gay ministries, he weaves together humor, program jargon and outrageous eyewitness accounts to form a piece that is hilarious, poignant and inspirational.

"The play is intelligently written, hysterical at times, poignant, and most of all, deeply spiritual because of its underlying themes of self-examination and self acceptance…Toscano’s acting skills as well as the format of the piece recall the one-woman shows of Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg whose character studies unearth the neurotic complications in all of us." –John W. Sykes, in newsweekly

Saturday June 25TH @ 4pm

Peterson also will be doing "Talking Trash in the Homo No Mo’ Halfway House –Language, Life and Lies in the Ex-Gay Movement", a more Lecture-stylized piece.

Great Little Piece of Software

By Abby at 12:48 pm on Friday, June 24, 2005

I download a LOT of software, a lot of extensions for Firefox, add-ins, user scripts, etc. I am an Internet FIEND! (I’m saying this like you haven’t noticed.) Well, I rarely sing the praises of software, but I am VERY impressed with the Foxit PDF Reader. Adobe just slows your browser (I, of COURSE, use Firefox) to a crawl until the page loads. When you have the Foxit reader installed, the PDF files just pops up right away. No system slowage at all. I’m definitely recommending you download this one right away.

Zach Blog Finally Deleted

By Abby at 9:41 am on Friday, June 24, 2005

Well, MySpace has removed Zach’s blog, which isn’t surprising. It was probably costing them a mint in bandwidth. I have the 4 crucial LIA entries both cached and saved. Anyone have a large amount of bandwidth available? I’d be happy to mirror these with a bandwidth donation, unless anyone can think of a good idea for why I shouldn’t do that. I know there was some concern about his anonymity, but I think we’re kind of past that now.

False alarm! Nevermind! :S
