The latest clusterfuck*
August 22, 2006
*Not the awesome kind.
In the middle, you will please note my mostly-dead laptop, and to its left, the monitor that gives it (sorta/limping) life. On the right is my new MacBook, sooo sexy, but also the bane of the existence of my bank account. I have spent the last few days tangled up with these machines, attempting to transfer files somewhat successfully, but also watching precious time slipping away from me, as I’m on deadline for the fall issue of $pread (and really wanting to get all my files in one place) and also the rough cut of The Bi Apple is due on Monday the 28th.
Yes, that is a little wee bit of the movie that you can see on the screen of the macbook. Other key elements of survival in full swing, see if you can find ‘em: birth control pills, an external hard drive, a switchblade and a near-empty bottle of Dewars. We here at Waking Vixen Productions have been losing our minds over the past few days, and may have answered the telephoned question “What are you up to?” with “Eating a cupcake and feeling suicidal” a few days ago. We here at Waking Vixen Productions are also amused by referring to ourselves in the royal we, and have been practicing for our officially-ongoing Fleshbot gig, where the royal we is cursory.
Point being, everything has been all kablooey in the last few days, and all I really want to do is sit for many hours and work like a fiend, but everything (access to the internet being one of the major obstacles to add to the technical problems) keeps getting in my way. Yes, I am whining, because goddammit its my blog and I don’t have to be smart all the time. Feel my technical pain! It’s a big owie!
P.S. - This was posted while using the wireless at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store.

I’m still a Tekserve fan myself.
But yeah, technical faiure suck. And not in a nice way, but in that nervous 14 year old with braces and a case of the jitters way.

If you could use some tech support from afar — just holla. If I could FTP you some more Dewars (or Gentleman’s Jack, my fave), I so would.
And congrats on being an official femme-Fleshbot!

I am into necrophilia.Necrophilia, and somnophilia (love of someone sleeping), are scientifically classified as a “sexual deviations” or dysfunctions… but remember that is a clinical description and should not be taken out of context. I consider myself a “fantasy” necrophiliac; that means I am NOT an obsessive necrophiliac in that having sex with a dead person is the only thing in the world I wish to do. I am not so totally consumed by the thought that I want to have sex with corpse that I can’t function “normally” (whatever “normal” is). I have been married over 30 years, have three kids… and I have had what some would consider “normal” sexual relations. I function in the real world like anyone else and if we met on the street you would never know my unique interest from my appearance, in the same way I’d not know your fantasies by your appearance. Love to hear from you dead or alive.
