happy birthday bubble wrap (fetish)

4 October 2007
Image via southpaw20's bubblewrap tag. Over at Guardian UK, there's a nifty article about the invention of bubble wrap, on its 50th anniversary. 50 years of wrap? That's more than I thought -- but it does bring to mind the number of times I've heard people confessing to having a bubble […]

4 October 2007
Image via mckibillo's Wonderfest set. I'm working on my talk right now, phew.

newt gingrich stays “on message”

2 October 2007
Image: winner of the Second Life "best boobs" contest 2007, Keumjoo Ahn. Noticed in the MSM headlines this week that Newt Gingrich is parroting the current Republican party line that Hilary is the "one to beat" -- and considering what happened in Gingrich's recent Second Life appearance, the double entendres are […]

possibly the flu

2 October 2007
...or some other awful bug has me very ill; swollen throat, upper respiratory ickiness. Am flat-out sick. The setbacks with Todd don't help. Talked to his dad last night and they're in the air to Holland right now; hearing the VA doc say, "well know more when we get on […]

under the weather, under the sea

29 September 2007
Right before I went out last night, I saw the incredibly touching post about Todd by my close friend Thomas -- thank you, Thomas. I walked toward Hayes Valley, and with the beginnings of a sore throat and feeling cut by the sharp, chill wind off Twin Peaks, I hailed a […]

28 September 2007
(image via the stunning, delicious galleries of Sebastian Solo (via); this hardcore image was my second choice) This week's Chron column is a day late (for obvious reasons) but it's got some razor-sharp teeth -- mostly taking the local rag SF Weekly to task for tarring BDSM with an ugly brush […]

24 September 2007
I am in shock; explanation here. For the next few days I will miss your deadlines, and not return your emails. Todd is all I care about right now, and I'm now in phone contact with people who are there with him. Light a candle and hope with me. An SRL […]

oh, snap

24 September 2007
And to think that some of us get flowers on our one-year anniversary with the MSM. Others are "parting company" with ABC I'm sure her future promises more "rule breaking" new media adventures. (ahem). /snap Speaking of getting spanked on my birthday (okay, I know that's a stretch), but while I did […]

the surprise

23 September 2007
Image of Hacker Boy presenting me with cake by Lane Hartwell. Hacker Boy was very, very naughty. At the last minute, he turned what I thought was a quiet dinner at his house into an impromptu surprise party for me -- I've never had one! It worked, I didn't suspect a […]
