Toaster Rules

Hey, check it out, someone did artwork inspired by Forrest Black’s and my photography from Blue Blood’s GothicSluts.com and it doesn’t suck. Most people just run a filter on one of our photos and think they are artists, but this is actually cool-looking and creative. Even though I like the picture, I would be kind of cranky that the painter didn’t credit me and Forrest Black, only he didn’t credit himself either. Just batty and ghoulycat

Last night, went to a steakhouse in the Valley to hang out with an online pal in town for the weekend. She just took a job with a company that does all these really rough sex vids. I mean, really really rough. Of course, I looked through their preview and knew people performing. I’m sure this says something, but I have no idea what. My friends and her new coworkers were all super-welcoming and cool and we had a lot of fun. Got the inside skinny on some stuff I was surprised by.

Forrest and I left before the tittie bar portion of the evening to go to kellylind and alexandrial’s housewarming. It was a trick to get to because someone in power had inexplicably blocked off most of downtown, but Forrest and I eventually prevailed. I was forewarned that some people find Kelly’s neighborhood scary, so I was prepared when two kind of dangerous-looking characters accosted me when I got out of my car. One greeted me in a friendly fashion, so I said “hi” back. Then the other guy stood up and unlocked the door to Kelly and Alex’s building, promised to keep an eye on my car, and ushered us in with a fluorish. Kelly and Alex have a gorgeous studio, well-worthy of having a party thrown in its honor. The crowd of people there was cool, met some new folks, and ended up wrapped in conversation with Alex and Kelly into the wee hours. Pretty much until my cough medication wore off. I’m calling my doctor in the morning. Cause this sick thing has got to go.

As we were heading out, the evening’s doorman turned the building keys back in to Kelly and stumbled off happily. My car was indeed untouched. Makes a girl feel good about the world.

Ate leftoever Indian delivery while watching Aqua Teen Hungerforce and fell asleep.

Slept in for the first time in like a month today. Coughing had been waking me.

Bought a toaster. Haven’t owned one in years, but I’ve been spending a fortune on toast with this cold because hot buttered toast seems to be the most soothing thing. My toaster is a Black & Decker chrome noir affair. It is the vertical kind and the grips adjust to toast anything from the smallest frozen treat to a king-size bagel. It’s super! I ate a lot of toasted English muffins tonight. With yummy European extra-dense butter. It was only like $25. I feel silly for not having purchased one sooner. Except I guess that I usually eat low carb when feeling healthy. Still, this toaster thing is awesome!
