I Want My Internet!

How happy are you right now to see that I've posted today? I know how you sick kids crave my contradictory and salacious ramblings, but I've been without internet access for a little while because of my employment situation and my lack of a land line. So here I am at easyinternetcafe, working on a cheap ass keyboard with a sticky space bar, trying to hurry up and do all my web-related activities in but one short hour, after standing in line for twenty minutes waiting for the ticket machine to become available. Blogging is hell, I tell you. How did I become so dependent on the Internet? Without e-mail, how did I know what parties to go to? How did I domy banking and pay my bills? And how, oh how, did I express my unsolicited opinions? Well, just because it's not easy, I'm not giving up. I need the Internet, and it needs me.

What else is going on? I still don't know where I'm going to be moving at the end of June, but I'm hopeful. Next weekend is the annual Mermaid Parade in Coney Island, and my little bro happens to be in town then. The weekend after is Gay Pride weekend, followed by the move. I've filed for unemployment benefits, which should keep me from freaking out until I can start temping.

But enough about me. (Well, personal subjects anyway.) A couple of weeks ago, I filled out a questionaire from The Advocate about assorted subjects of interest regarding gays. As a gift for filling out the card, I got a trial subscription. Because I am a dedicated Fruit Fly (TM), I thought that would be just fine. I got the first copy in the mailtoday,and it was wrapped in opaque plastic. I found that to be bizarre. I didn't know they did that sort of thing anymore. I'm certainly not worried about my mailman knowing that I'm reading The Advocate. Sure, some people may wish for some discretion, but I think it should be offered as an option, not a given!

Spam has been breaking my time bank here at the cafe,so if you want to write to me,and I may not recognize your name, please write "blog" somewhere in the subject line. Thanks!

Hmm, what else...

Go see The Play What I Wrote ASAP. I missed the Tonys, but if it didn't win anything (and even if it did) it may close soon. It's hilarious and I recommend it highly. My friend Dave described it as "Monty Python meets Carol Burnett." A Must See.

OK, next time I'll write down some musings beforei get here so I can blog with more efficiency. Until then, keep on reaching for the stars,or at least another gin and tonic.
