What a Day!

So I spent most of my day with Jorge, my triple threat friend. And by that I mean Latino, gay, and hearing impaired. We were supposed to go to lunch at a gay restaurant, which begged the question: What makes a gay restaurant GAY? SO I admit I was intrigued, but it was closed, so we have lunch at La Teresita with the mose interesting wait staff. Ay dios mio! Then we drove around and he showed me Hyde Park...how bougie and chi-chi. I would NEVER shop there. First of all, I have no money, and second, it looks like you need a friggin' dress code for that place. Then we went to Treasures and Tomes. A gay bookstore/coffee shop. What an INERESTING place. My experience in visiting gay establishments is very small, limited to about three places in the last 8 years, so it is a little off-putting whenever I go into one. I always feel like I have to act a certain way, and by my actor's nature, I tend to fit in anywhere I go like a chameleon. But it was fun, I had a hazlenut chai latte made up by this VERY unhappy butch lez and then surfed the stacks and magazine racks. I did not realize there were SO many gay magazines out there. Inlcuding one VERY interesting one...Foreskin Quarterly. WHY in God;s name ANYONE would read that.

Anyway, we ran some errands, I took him home and then booked it over to Sara's to hang out and play XBox and talk and watch TV and love on her cats. I have fun over there. I think I spend more time there than in my own apartment. I even did the dishes. THAT is a true sign of comfort. While I was there I talked to a former student who suggested I make web sites for side $. I did not think I had that ability, but he seems ot think so and said he could throw some clients my way. I talked to Sara and it turns out we both had designs to do something like that. So we may go into business doing small-to mid level sites. I think it would be fun, and God knows I could use the friggin money.

Still crossing fingers for teaching jobs in the summer so I can LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
