Enough Already With The Snow!

Mr Bear leaves for Hawaii Saturday for work meetings. I honestly wasn't jealous before but the 6 inches predicted for tomorrow is making me a bitter little bear.

I'm tired for no real reason - the weather I think as it's two days in a row. Maybe a little time in the tanning booth is in order? Yes, I think that just may do the trick.

The traffic today was insane, which enabled me to get through both Kylie's new album, "Slow", and a little bit of Spice Girls "Spice". I bought them while waiting for my haircut the other day. I still need a new copy of "Spiceworld" but it's hard to come by. It's odd how fickle music stores are. {shrug]

I don't mind the morning commute as it gives me time to listen to music. I resent the evening commute because it takes time away from me getting things done at home. Basically, I only want a long commute in one direction - can someone arrange that for me? Of course all bets are off on liking either once the shore traffic starts...

OK, time for more power coding.

things that make my world spin and glow:

Borrowed form seasoulsky

• Films, Books, Movies, music and other brain trips.


• Green Apples - a wonderful tart sweetness (sort of a life as a taste


• The stupid face Tessa makes when she climbs out form under the blankets because she's hot.


• Accessories - the little fun things that make you feel decorated and fun.


• The way the snow has outlined the tress so the woods near the house look like an ink drawing.


• The colors snow turns at dusk.


• The way Mr Bear sits close to me.


• Gypsy's ability to lay on her back with her front legs going in the opposite direction of the back ones.


• The way light dances on water as it's poured.


• The sound of my dad's voice when he's smiling on the phone.


• Having enough and knowing I don't need more.


• Sci Fi movies!

It's like Prozac in list form!


What is it about Steppenwolf that makes you feel like it's late July and your at a great picnic?

Why Cargo Magazine Sucks

I got a "charter subscription" to Cargo magazine. It's a men's magazine - sort of a cross between details and consumer reports. I got a charter subscription because I subscribe to a lot of magazines so I get a lot of new magazine offers.

I'm flipping through the first issue and it's OK. It's a little heavy on the heterosexual posturing, but I'm used to rolling my eyes at that. I figure I'll wait and see if they either come out or stop the dick waving.

Then I come across an article titled "Honey Does This Embroidered Shirt Make Me Look Gay?". That pretty much did it for me.

( My email to Customer Service )

It's not incredibly articulate, but really what else can you say?

I didn't have the heart to point out that half their models look like they're on their way to brunch in Chelsea. Or that straight men by these magazines because they want to look more like gay men.

Yeah, I'm stereotyping both sides but it's easy when you're pissed off. I'd riot, but there aren't any straight stores worth trashing that I don't already shop at...
