::gasp:: Blind Prophecy mentioned on air.

Sunday, November 13th, 2005

Oh my. I forget sometimes that these things are public. So we were once again gathered around the kitchen table playing card games and listening to Showtune Saturday. After an hour or so of this, I decided I needed to get out of the house for a bit, so I headed over to Borders to [...]

Frustration

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

I’m feeling frustrated because I don’t have the time I want to blog, to write, to even keep ahead of the many commitments I’ve already made. It’s not so much work (although it is a little bit of that), it’s the combination of everything. By the time I finally get settled in at night, all [...]

Hit the deck!

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

Yesterday, a construction crew pulled up alongside our building just as the work day started. First, they choked us out on deisel exhaust for the first half hour of the morning (literally, the exhaust from the trailer hauling the equipment was travelling straight toward our office window). Then, they spent the day trying to dig [...]

It’s a small world after all…

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

First things first… Happy Birthday, *-*-*fresne”>! So far there are three takers on the SLC Harry Potter movie night. *-*-*bendawg”> suggests we start by gathering at Singing Cricket Cafe, although we haven’t even set a date. I’m thinking late on Saturday the 19th. Any other takers? Today was an odd day of blurring lines between [...]

Crappy meetings

Monday, November 7th, 2005

I get so frustrated sitting through meetings like today. I hate it when about half the group “gets it” and the other half maintains a slightly confused look. I ended up writing catty notes to my buddy Missy (*-*-*myspecialvoice”>) through much of the meeting. I had to explain what blogs were to our board (::sigh:: [...]

I’m feeling ranty – must use my Andrew "speeches" icon.

Sunday, November 6th, 2005

So one of our local radio stations (the “Sunny” 106.5 FM – the local broadcaster of Delilah, foul demoness of hell!) has this thing on Saturday nights – Showtune Saturdays. Isn’t that just the gayest thing ever!!! Anyway, my sisters (who learned their musical tastes from a certain big brother, I’m sure) love this show [...]

Looks like a long weekend is in store

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

All day seminars tomorrow and Sunday. The SPIN Project will be teaching a bunch of us queer activists how to work with the media. I also have to finish up The Center’s bylaws for the (Oh, Goddess I hope) final approval on Sunday. No news yet regarding the Pride conflict – my contact at the [...]

SLC Pushes Gay Pride Around

Friday, November 4th, 2005

I’m just wrapping up my first night of official office hours at The Center for Pride. I really needed to get access to the files and records from last year, but neither Nathan or Stan know where those are kept (probably in Valerie’s locked office). But here’s the exciting news… long ago (say 2003ish) the [...]

Look at the pretty bullet points…

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005

Can’t think, therefore I list… One of my staffers called today and said she won’t be able to take the job that starts a week from Monday. Starting emergency interviews. Pride meeting tonight was okay. I think I have 80% of the committee filled at this point. I’m worried about some people, though, and I’m [...]

Relationship Guru

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Wow, what is it this week with people unloading their relationship stuff on me? A few days ago, it was the 20-year-old kid whose boyfriend never initiates sex and first a lot with everyone else. After listening to an hour of this, I had to quote the book… “He’s Just Not That Into You.” Today, [...]
