It's like eating a popsicle in the shower -- really quite tricky, but, in case of failure, the consequences aren't too dire.

I was wondering the other day whether there are any queers who save themselves for marriage. Or 'marriage', it would be, in this country... hm. All right, three questions: in this country, are there any homosexual couples who chose to engage in a formal if not legally binding ritual before consummating their union? Are there any in countries where gay marriage is government sanctioned? And, third, is cohabitation with accompanying whoopie getting to be ubiquitous among gay and straight couples alike, at least among the non or liberally religious?

I'm at Miscon. I got my second wind after sleeping for about an hour, and I feel pretty damn good, considering I've been up (not counting that hour) since ten p.m. Friday evening. It's a great Con so far... played in a Magic booster draft with my brother and nephew and didn't do as dismally as I expected to -- my deck wound up being pretty good, though I shot myself in the foot with some shoddy playing. Still and all. And I played Munchkin under the influence of giddy third-stage sleep dep, which is acres of fun. (I'm feeling more or less sober at the moment). Then I went to the filking and got it on with my badass blues cornetto self. I also bought a cornetto CD at a dealer's table. Ooh, I gotta buy another 20-sided, too... mine got lost somehow. I've eaten bucketloads of delicious trash: cheese-gooped hot dogs (3 for a dollar!), Little Debbie strawberry shortcakes, white cheddar cheezits, almond joys, half a coconut, kiwi strawberry soda, assorted Pringles and other salty death bombs. Feel grand. Grand! Not even bleary. I don't know if my nephew went home or if he's still running around pretending to be a silly old vampire. They're showing lameness on the movie screen and no one's gaming on the LAN but maybe that'll change if I go upstairs again. I really really really really like geeks. They're so... earnest and awkward and frigging fun. I've run out of banal reminiscences. I hope this'll stir up blissful memories when I read it again many years from now. Of course it will. In rhyming hexameters.

What could be better than sitting in a cushy leather armchair in the middle of the night, eating Cheezits, playing Tetris, and listening to blogswap CDs?
Getting paid for it. Ahhhh...

I got a letter from Julia today! And a beer coaster with a garjuice voomanz in red stockings! And a ticket to live Phaedra/Dido slash! I'm listening to her blogswap mix at the moment, and even it, god help me, is freaking lovely to a startling degree. How can this chick be so welkin-cheeking cool?!

I don't know why, but one of my happiest childhood memories is watching Oliver Hardy sing "Shine On, Harvest Moon" in The Flying Deuces. Also playing Exitebike. But not at the same time.

Terrorism has rightly been getting a very bad name recently, and I wonder if it'll eventually become so universally despised that it'll stop being useful to any movement. It's so cowardly and dishonorable, you know -- even when it's a suicide as well as a murder, there's nothing redeeming in it; its targets are almost invariably defenseless innocents, because the real high bastards are always well protected. It's easy, but not effective, except in sowing hatred for your cause. If you want to get a reputation for clean, purposeful killing, be an assassin, not a terrorist. If you think a government's evil, smudge out its functional units, not its citizenry. There used to be whole cults of assassins, silent, brave, and immensely skillful. Then somehow the tradition devolved into poisoned foot powder and silly catsuits. It needs to be revived again. Murder's never nice, but if it's got to be done, do it right.

Speaking of which, I am disproportionately proud of my Which Trouser Role Are You quiz showing up as the number one hit on a Google search for "Trouser Role".
p.s. Strunk and White hate the phrase "the fact that", but sometimes it feels too awkward to try and get by without it. Am I just not ingenious enough?

It bugs me that I'm gonna have to go to Gonoud and Offenbach for my trouser fix. French opera is annoying. I really like Goethe and E.T.A. Hoffmann, though... And, um, trousers. As you know. Maybe I can find some recordings in translation -- I don't care what language. Anything's better than stinking French. But at least the music can be occasionally decent. There are some rare trousers in Czech and Russian opera too, and, though those are drop-dead sexy languages, the music generally turns my stomach. You just can't win sometimes.
