Things that have thrilled me today:

1. Finishing writing a chapter and mailing it to my mentor. Feeling ready to keep writing, which is good since I just looked at my contract and I have a LOT to do in the next 5 weeks.

2.. Last month I posted some pics of my friends in L.A., including one of me and Assirap, topless in her cheetah print bedsheets. Today I got an e-mail with pictures competing with us -- MFA Husband topless in bed with K and D. They were so hilarious. I'm so excited to see them in June.

3. I was reading the schedule for my residency in June and saw that Kate Bornstein is a guest speaker and lecturer. WTF? I was just talking to

cocolola about Kate (maybe this is a sign about what we talked about Coco?!?) It's kind of this crazy full circle to be meeting her again. Hi, remember me when I was a blond buzzed head butch dyke fresh out of college who you spotted as being trans-identifed even though I wasn't able to say it outloud? Remember how we talked about Laurie Anderson and tarot cards and Pokemon? Um, yeah, nice to see you again, I'm a big fag and a writer.
