A friend of mine has been visiting for the past 4 days, she just left this morning. We went out to Davis square last night for burritos and a movie. I LOVE Davis square and the energy there reminds me a lot of Montreal.

While we we're having dinner at Anna's Taqueria, a woman fainted in the restaurant and the ambulance was called. No one seemed to care, no one offered her any water or help... all they did was ignore her (well obviously someone called the ambulance) but apart from that, nothing. By the time I got up to help her, the ambulance was there and I shoved me aside. I'm ok with that, I don't want to be in their way while they do their job.

Then, we went to see Dark Knight, the new batman movie. It was very good, a bit corny at times and Heath Ledger as the joker was actually worth the hype... but the movie was very very violent with a shit metric tonn of explosions that we're just frankly annoying.

Then we go to take the T home (the subway). While we we're waiting for the train to pull up, a man at the end of the dock threw himself on the side of the train then bounced back on the dock and landed on the platform, on his head, not moving. The conductor of the train pushed the horn very very loudly and it resonated in the train station. A man close to me was screaming at the site of what he just witnessed. My friend wanted to go see if the man was ok. I held her by the shoulder and told her she did not need to see a man bleeding to death on the dock - the train conductor had called the authorities and they we're taking care of it.

SElf preservation being what it is, I decided to not gawk, to not go and stand over the man on the ground and to just respect his space... then I wondered, was that what happened at Anna's Taqueria when I was eating my burrito? Is that why people we're not helping the woman who had fainted?

I called home and my lover came and got us - mind you Davis Square is about 25 minutes by car away from our house but my ever fabulous partner came and got us. While we we're waiting for her outside the T station, some kids we're playing chicken - which consists of throwing yourself in front of a moving car in traffic so they have to swerve to avoid you... FUCKEN STUPID! My friend actually yelled at them to stop being so stupid.

I'm a bit shaken up this morning. Sure, i've experienced similar violence here in the year i've been here.. sure, i've seen awful things in Montreal happen... sure, I work with Addicts... but still... a little piece of my heart this morning is aching.

androfagcub and I are selling a few things at home on Craigslist, ya know, the usual; coffee table, set of chairs, candle holders etc...

This man came over tonight, he was about, oh, conservative estimate, 75 years old. He decided not to buy the table because it was too heavy. I offered to help him load it into his car. He replied:


" Oh no, you're expecting" looking down at my tummy.

I replied: " Nope, i'm just fat!"

He thanked me for my time and appologized for not taking the table.

About 10 years ago, I used to get that comment a lot and I would be genuinly upset. Today, I just laughed it off, used the word fat like some would say the color red or the ham is good or its raining today.

I like myelf a lot right now.

So androfagcub and I went on a little impromptu road trip today. We had loads of fun; we drove up to the Cape (or as I like to call it the COD!), stopped in a little town called Sandwich, did some shopping at an army surplus store, had a late lunch at a pub called British Bear Company with really yummy food, drove around some more, stopped in Sagamore and did a little shopping at the Christmas Tree Shop, drove around some more and then came back home.

It was a really fun afternoon filled with laughter, love and more love. Its a good day today.

So I bought this bread machine from resourceres a little while back and in the past 7 days i've made 3 different kinds of bread; one multi grain, one cinnamon-raisin and now a maple whole wheat is baking as we speak and i'm patiently waiting for it... I just want to bite hardcore into that sucker! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

In a little moment we are going on a date. My baby announced earlier that she was treating me to dinner (a suprise restaurant) and later on we'll come back home, watch a movie, have some popcorn and some ooh la la. I'm excited!

In other news, I finally baptized my bread machine and break is baking as we speak.... yum!

So androfagcub and I went over to Aunty Janet's house for dinner the other night. She is a wonderful woman, very generous and caring and protective of my fiancé. I love her.

Well... the other night we we're having dinner at her house and we we're discussing my sexual orientation. I am very open (generally) about being bisexual... this specific conversation was about me not being a lesbian even though I am marrying my lover (who is female bodied but its much more complext than that really). She was arguing (a bit) with me that I was now a lesbian bla bla bla when I just plainly said;

"I may be on a diet but I can still look at the menu!" (To the fatties on this list, no worries, I meant no harm with the diet analogy - just pressing a point).

Well lo and behold, I believe she got it. I've identified as bisexual for over 25 years now and in reality I have a lot of political issues with the word bisexual but I will identify as such till I don't have to justify it anymore! I mean please, what is so hard to understand; I am attracted to the whole range of gender under the gender umbrella, I may be fucking a female bodied person right now BUT that does not change who I am sexually, spiritually, emotionally.. oy vey!

how was your day?

Widen your body confidence and make 2008 a BIG year with the Big Moves Wall Calendar! Each month of this full-color, 13-month wall calendar features an up-close and personal portrait of a member of the East Coast Big Moves cast & crew like you've never seen them before, as photographed by Big Moves' own Jaclyn Friedman. Plus, a new quote or quip each month to help you get through the tight spots in your year.

They were originally $18 but I can sell them at a low, low price of $10! I can ship them too anywhere for $3 (or as cheap as I can possibly do it.) The picture you see above is my lovely fiancee.

I'm staying in my good friend Dan's in Montreal and I have his very peaceful apartment all to myself right now. I just made myself some delicious yummy breakfast, i"m listening to the mellow Jack Johnson and just really enjoying being alone.

I made myself an omelette with some of last nights leftover pasta sauce, the most delicious cheese in the world to me - Perron 2 year old cheddar - some dense and flavourful Montreal Portugese corn bread, black cherry yogourt and Chai tea.

It's funny, when I think of Montreal, I miss the food (and my chosen family of course) the most. The yogourt, the cheese, the bread, the easy accesibility to all kinds of yummy food, I miss it... I also miss Montreal culture and its still very much my mistress... but I know in my heart of hearts i'm a tourist here now, that my home is with my love in Quincy. Its been a long road getting to that point in my heart but I feel i'm there now. This trip has confirmed that for me.

In a little while i'll be off frolicking with my good friend Panko. We're going to see Persopolis at a theatre downtown. Then i'm off to dinner at my friend Chantal's house, my good friend who is going to marry us in the fall.

Now if I could only figure out how to bring all these fine folks in my extended family to Quincy, then i'd be all set... and lets not forget the yogourt!

Life is great in Montreal but oh so damm cold! Its the kind of cold that chills your bones and is impossible to thaw from. I've only been away from this city for 7 months and I already forgot about the cold and difficult winter here even though I joke about it all the time - how Bostonians would not survive here. I mean come on, a snow day every time there is a snow fall. If that happened in Montreal, the city would virtually shut down 4 months out of the year.

Its been good so far being in Montreal and catching up with friends, very familiar, *ALMOST* like I never left. I had to drive back and forth yesterday - a total of 5 hours sitting in a car - to my hometown of Gatineau to deal with family drama though and that was less than fun. I seriously want to divorce my family in a big bad way and I have for the most part... family drama sucks and I am so DONE!

WEll that is it for now. I'm off to my very sexy and very gay dentist for a check up. He's a big geek camouflaged under designer clothes and has this incredible laugh - a melange of horse and nasal expiration, really endearing.

...cause I really like doing these and cause i'm a geek!
