The local bear club hand their big run this weekend called “Hibearnation.

Lingering snot, genuine apathy and newly tightened budget strings for the rest of the year kept us out of the bars and away from the events.

That didn’t stop us from getting to meet at least one LJer who was in town for all the hubub.

feh.. “LJer”… seems like a dismissive label doesn’t it? evanrudemi and I blabbed away in the car about such things… Projected egos, constructed realities and their propensity to self-alienate and cause this really super silly form of performance anxiety.

Sean, (urr… I’m embarrassed because I’m not sure that’s how he spells it)… was a lot taller and older than I expected.

The tall part was an instant surprise… It wasn’t until hours into our Ginklatch at our place Friday night with devcubber that I’d find out that he’s not the decade younger that I figured him for – but rather has one year on me!

Let’s hear it for boyish good looks and the petty jealousy it stirs in petty faggots like me.

I got over it…

The harder part to get over was why would this very talented young artist from Michigan would opt out of the opening night of one of the largest furry circuit parties in the Midwest…. to sit around with….. “us”…

I know.. “Just shut up and take the compliment Jim”…

I did… we did… and had a great night…

It borders on therapeutic to attach a face, voice, spacial volume to one of you all on this network.

Yesterday was an even paced day, one of those where unexpected interruptions are welcome.

Leah and Steven called – they were down the street at the Sam’s Club and wanted to know if they could pop in so long as I didn’t chastise them for spending their money at a Wal-Mart store. I promised and they popped over for a while.

Earlier while pecking at some work type stuff I heard the unmistakable roar of a Harley pull up… It was Andy and Lil’AnD out for a weekend ride.

Baby got home early so we decided to run out to the store and pick up some steaks for the grill while Kev took it easy on the sofa and crashed vehicles with .

The weather is mellowing… Dinner spilled over to outside and the decision to have the first fire of the season….. Not on Sunday… And a week or two earlier than normal – but it all felt familiar

I suppose if I blogged I’d see patterns emerging.

ask your doctor about Myzithraâ„¢


Hank

Had lunch with my old photography boss yesterday.. Hit some new shi-shi Cuban / Puerto Rican / Tapas restaurant down in the U-City Loop.

Duck and pork meatball hoagie with melted Chiuaua Cheese and roasted peppers.

Great visit as always… She asked to look at some of the photography I’ve been doing for projects. She was gracious and constructive… I was, of course, neurotic.

Spent the afternoon with a client. I’m only now starting to learn the power of project scheduling. Now if i can fit that piece together with understanding retainers, work will become… well… less tense.

The guys struck again with their dime-store finds and gave me “Hank – the incredible growing monkey”.

You’re supposed to put him in water and he grows to seven times his size. The process isn’t terribly pretty though – So far, since submerged in water, Hank looks to be suffering from a disfiguring illness.

Kirby blipped a message asking if I had ever heard of Myzithra… I said no of course and wondered how he got a urinary tract infection.

My assumptions were wrong.

Myzithra is a Greek cheese, sort of like a dry, powdery version of Feta. *And a great excuse for an impromptu dinner party.

He headed over after work, Mysithra in-hand. Cooked up a mess of pasta and mixed in the cheese, fresh basil, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and butter.

It was yummy as was the company.

After dinner socializing followed by a little uno and everyone was off and to bed before eleven.

Sorry – can’t blog – gotta go lick the cheese grater.
