Thunderstorms yesterday as soon as I disembarked, huge winds whipping trees, downpour and hail, lightning streaking across the sky. Then it calmed down and only started raining again later that night, while I lay in my room wilting like some cold-blooded plant in a greenhouse. I want to go chew on cold red meat for breakfast, which is a kind of disgusting desire but one I might fulfill anyway. I don't know what's going on with me but I better lay claim to some sort of vegetarian practice cos this can't go on like this- meat should be intermittent, not full-face plate-down back with a vengeance, yes?

I started reading Max Valerio's book. Some parts when he talks about not wanting a radicalized trans movement to speak for, denigrate, and dominate non-politicized transsexual experiences, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt (as parts of this are to me a very valid critique) but instead just feel my stomach turn because of the way he establishes himself as an epistemic authority on FTM realness, linking it to medical intervention and a red-blooded understanding of male masculinity. (To wit: the excerpt in this bridge called home.) Anyway, I like the plan to pass the book along the FTMoron mailing list.

Dreams I can't remember but I woke up feeling sad. Maybe it's the heat. I sure would love to go to shul tonight. Also I feel like making an offering of this half-bottle of too-smokey scotch, pour it on the ground watch it soak up sink down and rise, but I don't know: is it rude to give Them something you don't enjoy too much yourself?

Why I never ;) He (I mean his book) was already up for discussion and I simply mentioned that I had the good fortune of having received a copy of his book...

welcome back to the great satan, oli-kid.

how might we orchestrate it so that my needing to be in philly on the 13th somehow can be usefully collapsed with you living in the same state as philly?

which is to say "yo, i missed you and wanna give you hugs and kisses, etc. where can i drop off my package of physical affection for delivery?"

oh man I started laughing so hard at 'where can i drop off my package of physical affection'--I fucken love packages Bealove. Umm, how bout we orchestrate it such that I defer the job search for a little longer so I can be here? Where in Philly are you gonna be? I have friends down there who I should get in touch with and see about a place to crash. If you have need of that, let me know.

Sweetie dahrling, you added me back! In a series of unfortunate events, I never met back up with Alon (the day he could, I couldn't, and the day I could, he couldn't). Going through Dublin withdrawal. May go back next summer (or at least I'm telling myself that until I get over this hump.) Anyways, it looks like I'm interning this summer for the state at the International Institute in Providence. That means, I'll be working with lawyers who deal with immigration problems in the wake of the new immigration laws. Could be savage, love.

Deal with immigration problems in the sense of advocating for immigrants, or what? At any rate, let me know if you get wrapped up in any intern/boss scandal, you slut. Speaking of, I can't believe you and Alon missed each other! Maybe there's a reason for it, I don't know. I'm sorry you're missing Dublin. I got a pang of homesickness for the Centre Stage the other day, and of course constant pangs for the home you, Cathy and I created, but it's not hitting me that much at the moment. I miss you though. Ring me in advance of any trips to nyc so we can meet up, okay? xo
