CONCORDIA DISCORS

Yes, locked, henceforth and forthwith. Drop a comment if you like, but really, I'd like to know who you are in the real world before I go blabbing at you on the interweb.

That is all.

So anyway. In response to Scotty's open letter that I'm sure most of y'all have read, here's the rest of my two cents (some of it copied-and-pasted from comments I left in other LJ posts on the subject, because, hell, why type it twice?) Much of it probably said recently (and better) by others, and all of it very blathery and straying frequently off topic. But Scotty said something very right-on, it made me think, and I think better on paper. Screen. Whatever.

Does anybody happen to have a couple of folding beach or lawn chairs we could borrow for the Pinchbottom show on Friday?

(I know, I know, who in New York City actually owns lawn chairs? And more importantly, why do the neighborhood dollar stores think they can charge $18 for new ones?)

I'm not usually a huge proponent of kittens, since they grow up to be cats and destroy my couch.

However, en masse these little buggers are mighty cute; so if you're having the sort of day that they might help, then consider them my gift to you.

Plus the site is in Russian or something, so it might very well be about porn or cosmetics testing or something like that.

"Holy fuck. The douchebag has an entourage."

Is there anything that doesn't look better covered in silver spraypaint?

... and now I realize why nuns go blind doing this shit ...

He won the Tony! My boy John Lloyd Young won the fucking Tony.

Day-um.

I just got an email from my best friend's college roomate:

I came into a largish bag of emu feathers (from national zoo emus) and for some reason I think you might have an idea about what to do with them. They aren't wide and soft like ostrich, but they are long and plume-y, and there's a lot.

Is this a useful thing to send your way?

I can't decide if I'm more delighted by the fact that she "came into" a large bag of National Zoo emu feathers, or that she immediately thought to send them to me.

It's official: Pinchbottom's Naked Planet Sci-Fi Burlesque will be back for one night only on Saturday, July 1st! More info to come ... but in the meantime, here's some hot girls and a Klingon:



Please note that 1. the Klingon is also a hot girl, and 2. of everyone in the photo, she's the one with her eyes closed.

Kapla!

TONIGHT: BURLESQUE FOR CHOICE



Directions:
L - Bedford Ave. Turn left on Bedford Ave. and walk south until you hit Grand St. Turn left on Grand and it's one and a half blocks on your left.
G - Lorimer / Metropolitan Turn left on Metropolitan Ave. and walk 4 blocks until Roebling. Turn left on Roebling and then right on Grand St.
JMZ - Marcy Ave. (first stop in Brooklyn). Walk under the subway and take a right on Havermeyer. Walk down Havermeyer until you get to Grand St. Turn left on Grand and it's one block down on your right.

So I just accidentally deleted about 2,000 photos from my desktop.

The good news? Probably 1,500 of them were backed up on disc.

The bad news (besides the fact that, therefore, about 500 were not)? There's no real way of telling which ones got flushed. (Also no way of recovering them, unless I drop a few hundred bucks on some new software ... which needless to say is not going to happen at the moment.)

So. First of all: blazingnoodles, I don't need to be told about the superiority and usefulness of actual paper photos, that point has been made abundantly clear just now.

Second of all: if anyone has performance / backstage shots of Yours Nastily from the past ... hmm ... few months, let's say, maybe since March or so - would you point me at them?

And third of all, I think I'm just going to have to accept that I'll never get most of them back. Sniffle sob. If only a side effect of this were a little more space in my house, at least that would be something. But alas, all it leaves is a gaping cyber-hole on my desktop. Sniffle sob indeed.

EDIT: Riiiiight, when you delete the flier from Flickr, it goes away. Huh. Imagine that.

At what point in my life did I start having too much important stuff in my pockets to get caught in a summer rainstorm?

My hair dye is still wet and I haven't done my nails yet ... I have no business calling myself a diva.

Anyway. If I can get my shit together, here's where I'll be in a matter of hours:



... with my gals Anita Cookie, Veronika Sweet, Gigi La Femme & Scarlet Sinclair, and music by Afua Richardson.

And this I swear: my nails will be done.

Teen accused of spiking rival's drink

Thu Jun 1, 2:49 PM ET

HURST, Texas - A teenager accused of spiking a fellow theater student's drink with bleach because she wanted the lead role in a school play surrendered to authorities.

Katherine A. Smith, 18, turned herself in Wednesday, more than a week after a warrant was issued for her arrest. She was charged with tampering with a consumer product, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and was released on $2,500 bail.

A message left Thursday at Smith's home seeking comment was not immediately returned.

Smith is accused of putting bleach in Mountain Dew and then handing the drink to a 15-year-old in February, a day after the opening of L.D. Bell High School's production of "Ha!" — a trio of one-act comedies. Test results confirmed that the drink contained components of bleach, according to police reports.

The 15-year-old noticed the odor and told an assistant principal, who contacted police. Police said Wednesday that the investigation took more than three months because of problems with testing the drink.

Smith was placed in an alternative school after she was questioned in the incident and did not participate in prom or graduation, said Hurst-Euless-Bedford district spokeswoman Judy Ramos.

Cuz I'm still awake. Jesus.
