the weekend . . .the week

damn it's been a busy week. . . work and life have been running me ragged and it's about to get busier. . . no rest for the weary, and in today's case. . . no rest for the hungover (the margarita's at cafe marimba felt like they had a bottle of tequila in them. . .)

this weekend is my step fathers 60 birthday spectacular, as as nobody in my family does anything small, there is an event tonight, a big dinner party tomorrow night capped by dancing downtown, brunch on sunday, and a cruise on the bay monday . . .i'm tired just thinking about it. . . .

one of the many guests from out of town in staying with us - Raymond, my mom's decorator and close family friend. he walked into out place, moved a few things over a few inches, and the place suddenly looked a thousand times better. . .he has some big plans for our house. . . could padded walls be in our future (the non crazy kind)?

one thing i was able to see this week was the giants beat the crap out of the dodgers and get into first place (you can read all about it here c'mon, i know you are dying too. . . ). it was goooood.

also, added a link to "fahrenheit 9/11" in the links section - check out the site and the trailer. haven't seen it yet, so i'm not going to get on my soapbox and tell you all you must see it, and that it is the most important movie to see ever. . . .i'll let you decide for yourselves, but i sure as hell am going to see it, and if i like it, i'll let you know.. . .

lastly, it's gay pride this weekend - always fun to be had this weekend - taking the decorator down to the castro after the step-fathers party. . . hehehe. as peaches christ says in the subject line of her weekly email to her devoted fans: "A pride message to the gay: You're a whore darlin'... this pride, lets be honest".
