I was watching Great Day Houston reruns and thought one of the topics was great. I've always liked Deborah Duncan, especially a story she did on Marvin Zindler many years ago and her candidness about her Brother's death. She has this naive quality that may not make her the "sharpest" TV journalist but one of the most unique and honest.
Anyway, the show I saw was about racial and cultural diversity. She did this exercise that is an ongoing thing in town where they focus on a specific culture and all sit around asking the special guest questions that we all think but are too embarrassed or afraid to ask. For example, she asked an Indian woman what the dot was on her head and then they ate curry and tried on sari's. What a fun and brilliant idea! I'd love to be part of a group like that. The world is so interesting and it sounded like a cool way to learn more, broaden you mind and meet some really great people.

Quick List Update
-I can't wait to get my hands on some pale blue, non-metallic nail polish!
-Tomorrow is Gay Pride and I'm looking forward to the festivities.
-Have a sort-of-date with the guy that dumped me back in February. He's coming over to help me hang some 60's swag lamps I bought. I need help finding the studs...LOL! Not sure what to wear to a lamp hanging party though.
-Had a lazy day full of naps, Michael Jackson news updates and Chinese takeout when I should have been busy listing things on Etsy or cleaning my apartment.
-My Birthday was really interesting even though I didn't get to see Roky Erickson. Ran into lots of entertaining people and had a late night dance party with my girls, then drinks at a seedy gay bar at 7 a.m. I'm getting way too old to party like that!
-Went sex toy shopping last night with a some friends, one being a smokin' hot tranny prostitute. the conversation was amazing and I learned a lot about her line of work. Then we grubbed down some Olive Garden. J gave me half of her pink double-ended vibrator for my Birthday.
-Bothered by the fact that all of my friends are so obsessed with texting. I put my mobile away when I'm out and don't think it's proper to have it sitting on the table while I'm having dinner. I also don't feel like I have to compulsively check my phone or immediately respong to every message. Get a grip girls!
-Chelsea Hotel is playing tomorrow at Rudyards with my friends The Gin Slingers. Robert, the singer of CH is so totally hot. I have the biggest crush ever and he's such a rock star. He was a founding member of The Pagans.

Just A Quick Update
What have I been up to you ask?
Went on a fun road trip that really changed me and gave me lots of time to evaluate my life. Found lots of inspiration and new interests. Had my first peanut butter and banana sandwich at Graceland and took lots of pictures.
The last stop was New Orleans, my old magic city, but things just weren't the same there. There was this angry, negative vibe everywhere I went. I visited some old haunts, had my first oyster omelet and went home feeling a little sad but with a new sense of self.
I've got to cut this post short because the cats want food and it's way past my bed time. I did something today that had me biting my lip but the sweet response I got was well worth it. Now I can rest and dream about the things I want to accomplish this week.
