The alarm rang at 6:30, but I was so tired I cuddled with Thatch and Stella for 15 minutes before I had any eneregy to move. I had a really, really, really bad night of sleep, and I will most likely spend most of the day after kitty cleanup lying down with the cats.

As soon as I walked into the bathroom this morning, I could see the litter box looked as bad as I felt, so instead of waiting to clean it after breakfast, I cleaned it then and there. That will please Annabelle, who complains loudly and long if I take my time getting to it as she waits to use it.

Post by: elmore3003 on June 30, 2024, 05:21:48 AM
DR vixmom, you should have waited for a stop like 14th Street, where you can walk up the stairs and cross over top the other side instead of wasting another fare by going up to the street, cropssing it, and then entering the subway again. I once made the same mistake you did at 57th Street and ended up on the A train, not the C.

As I watched all my stops fly by on the train's way to Harlem, I kep[t thinking, did I just join Rod Serloing in the Twilight Zone?

BK, I agree with you completely on the current Biden brouhaha. While I was disappointed in his debate performance, I wasn't going to throw him to the wolves. As to the media, they could have stopped Trump in 2016, but they were too busy laughing at the clown facade of a seriously screwed up and nasty sociopath.

What I find mostly frightening is how many stupid redneck, white trash supporters believe the lies from a rapist who cheated on his wives, taxes, and business practices and believe he won't cheat on them as well.

Since I don't think I got more than five hours of sleep last night, I will spend the day, until I take my bath, lazing and dozing with the kitties. After cleanup, I've got some computer cleanup. Yesterday, two of my email subfolders under the "Annabelle and Thatch" folders vanished. I searched like crazy under the folders arond them, but I cannot locate them. Curiously, when I did an advanced search, everything came up, only the computer won't tell me where they are now located!

Since an extra post is always an extra post towards getting beyond page 7 - Here's another in my Sondheim parody-themed "shilling for YouTube views" - a Gay Pride Parade Day edition

BK had gotten an OK to give me Mr. Sondheim's direct email address, and this this 2009 parody was the first of a series of videos from 2009 to 2013 where Mr. Sondheim took time to look at the parodies before they were recorded and even gave some helpful notes.

I was especially thrilled as a writer, parodist and gay person when Michael Musto posted a Village Voice article that discussed this video, and even tagged the article with the keyword "GAAAAAYYYYYY" -
"Hilarious Gay Spoof of 'I'm Still Here'"
https://www.villagevoice.com/hilarious-gay-spoof-of-im-still-here/

This is the direct link to my “I’m Still Queer”

FWIW, and that's probably not much:

A news item I read yesterday said that a poll taken after the debate showed Biden moving up one point against Trump from a previous poll. 

If anyone saw the Bill Maher debacle, he and several guests were talking about how badly the Democratic party needs to replace Biden as soon as possible as a candidate.  They were talking about Gavin Newsom.  As much as I admire Newsom and see him as a potential candidate "some day", Maher and guests were rats on a ship that isn't yet sinking.

Are you talking about the Bill Maher episode where Tulsi Gabbard and Chris Matthews were the guests?

 I found that whole episode rather (to use a kind word) disturbing.  And I don't often feel that way about Bill Maher's show.

I stopped at the clerks booth and told her what I had done. Since I have a senior subway pass there’s a limit on how many times I can swipe it within a certain period of time.

She told me to wave once I got to the back gate on the other side and she buzzed me in

I didn't nap, but cuddled with both Stella and Thatch while we watched America's Test Kitchens and Lidia Bastianich. Then I took my bath and gave Thatch and Stella their dinner. Annabelle refuses to leave her bed to join them She prefers to wake at 4:00 and then bitch because she's starving. Such a diva!

Today we have the New York Gay Pride march and subsequent events. I marched from 1980 to 1997, first with the marching band, then with the chorus.  I leave that to the youngsters now.

Today was Olympia's Pride Parade, but I didn't go.  My sister and Olympia's PFLAG walked, and I'm sure had a great time.

Since an extra post is always an extra post towards getting beyond page 7 - Here's another in my Sondheim parody-themed "shilling for YouTube views" - a Gay Pride Parade Day edition

BK had gotten an OK to give me Mr. Sondheim's direct email address, and this this 2009 parody was the first of a series of videos from 2009 to 2013 where Mr. Sondheim took time to look at the parodies before they were recorded and even gave some helpful notes.

I was especially thrilled as a writer, parodist and gay person when Michael Musto posted a Village Voice article that discussed this video, and even tagged the article with the keyword "GAAAAAYYYYYY" -
"Hilarious Gay Spoof of 'I'm Still Here'"
https://www.villagevoice.com/hilarious-gay-spoof-of-im-still-here/

This is the direct link to my “I’m Still Queer”

DR vixmom, you should have waited for a stop like 14th Street, where you can walk up the stairs and cross over top the other side instead of wasting another fare by going up to the street, cropssing it, and then entering the subway again. I once made the same mistake you did at 57th Street and ended up on the A train, not the C.

As I watched all my stops fly by on the train's way to Harlem, I kep[t thinking, did I just join Rod Serloing in the Twilight Zone?

I stopped at the clerks booth and told her what I had done. Since I have a senior subway pass there’s a limit on how many times I can swipe it within a certain period of time.

She told me to wave once I got to the back gate on the other side and she buzzed me in

Very nice!
