Adventures du jour! Ray and I went to see Hadestown last night at the Tampa Straz Center. Total success. Hadestown: –Musical about Greek myths around Hades/Persephone and Orpheus/Eurydice. –The plot is a kick to the chest and I had to sit there and cry for a while. See the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, if […]
Taking a Dean Wesley Smith class… Listening to a Dean class and patting myself on the back for something extra-credit-y that I did. But he mentioned it like three times, soooooo I figured I probably should do it, because I know how. BUT the previous class I did with him he yelled at me for
Hadestown! I’m going to a musical tonight after HOW MANY YEARS and I am utterly useless today. (Hadestown.) The last time I went to a live musical, I learned that the Internet was for porn (in Denver), that’s how long it’s been. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH … No, I take it back, there was a more recent one
Blueberry pie. So for Thanksgiving I made blueberry pie, but we didn’t get that far. We’re eating it now: pie shells, blueberries, sugar, tapioca, and chaat masala (a green mango/tamarind-based mix; I got mine premade). It works YUMMILY, but on a level that’s hard to pick out specifically. So, like, the perfect secret ingredient. But
Adventures du jour! TOMORROW IS HADESTOWN! It doesn’t feel real Today is one of those days where I’m restlessly dissatisfied with everything. [Waves vaguely.] At least a squirrel just dropped his nut from the upstairs patio and had to go climbing down my patio window to retrieve it. Yesterday was another day of weird not-a-migraine
The Lament Configuration Lament Configuration: portal to hell or sensory toy for adults? Discuss! Pinhead: Demons to some, angels to others. Me: Yeah yeah yeah just give me the box.
Adventures du jour! I’m having not-a-migraine today: when you have all the other symptoms of a migraine but the headache. Because stuff runs opposite in DeAnna-land sometimes, my steps taken to prevent a visual aura were to take sinus meds, drink a cup of coffee, and play loud music (but over the good headphones because
Adventures du jour! I know white people aren’t supposed to be ashy but I’m ashy. I’m not sure how ANYTHING can be dried out in this humidity. C’est la Florida! Happy day after Turkey Day! I hope everything went well with you and yours. Yesterday sucked for Ray and I, but it sucked less than
LaVerle Spencer So I have this stack of books next to my laptop that are specifically there because they’re too hard for me to just sit down and read. I chip away at them, bit by bit, looking up unfamiliar words, researching references to things I’m not familiar with, writing notes, struggling to process. Mind
Note: I posted hundreds of AI-generated images of gay couples being affectionate that day. Adventures du jour! Yes, I am spamming everyone’s timeline across Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr with gorgeously tender pictures of men kissing. I generated the images using Midjourney AI this morning. I generated a LOT of them. I am not done. I
