  • Slowly closing out my work for the week. Tonight I leave on a jet plane for snow, skiing & loved ones. I'm scattered today; snow in my eyes. #
  • Wow…there are a lot of teeny tiny children on this flight. One has miniature combat boots. #
  • Leaving @zacmakes' house, his mom waves and tries to hand us a cucumber. I manage to convince her that there is food in Maine. #
  • Skiing makes my heart happy & my knees crack. Good: sweet tea at dawn, sleepy man next to me. Great: Chairlift cuddles. No bad things today. #
  • Fondue with neighbors. We fight for marooned mushrooms and sing Hank Williams. Now, my brother and I wrap last gifts. Happy day, loved ones. #

  • Over-eager intern candidate lies to me: says he spoke w/ my cowrker earlier in the day? Funny, I reply, she doesn't interview interns. I do. #
  • @barrysaunders Hey, me too! The heat's not on in our office. in reply to barrysaunders #
  • Figured out some tricky holiday gifts today. Being involved in a Chanukah celebration means everything's to be finished a week early. Oy? #
  • I'd be the worst politician…did you know 7 US states ban atheists frm public office? http://bit.ly/82DFff (via @AudaciaRay @TheUndomestic) #
  • Company holiday party. Kareoke and pizza and SoCo…and a lot of belting. My Managing Director gets sauce in his shoe. We cry laughing. #
  • I forgot to pick something up for the gift swap at @supertailz tonight! Luckily, I work 2 blocks from the gift shop at the Museum of Sex. #
  • @lindsayribar Indeed! WELL REMEMBERED! in reply to lindsayribar #

  • Curled up w/ @zacmakes. Successful/slightly stressful meeting of parents on both sides this weekend. We recover w/ pesto, gelato & cuddling. #
  • Inevitably, it seems, my miniature idyll-esque vacation (complete with farmer's market!) will generate not one, but two 14-hour workdays. #
  • Apparenty it's weird to walk into Staples at 8pm and request $200 worth of pens. Who knew? #
  • Life Sciences seminar in the ballroom of a swank hotel. Planned in 4 weeks. It goes swimmingly; at least hard work pays off, no? Zzzzz! #
  • A boatload of foxgloves, hydrangea & white roses appears on my desk. They smell glorious. The card is signed "us." My boss is being sneaky. #
  • @MajaMajaMaja I'll gender YOUR ninja… in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • @MajaMajaMaja I wonder how Chuck Norris feels about gender. in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • Coming up for air. I owe half the world an email. My roses look like cabbages. I love clear nights. #

  • RT @FrankAngones @McSweeneysBooks: An Open Letter to My Artistic Potential: http://bit.ly/2cbuwX (Ah ha haaaa…) #
  • @romanticrope Lies and slander! in reply to romanticrope #
  • #KFADC tweets make me happy. My absence was somewhat regretful, but for the best. Looking forward to #KFA Providence! (#KFAPVD?) #
  • I know TG's not 'til next week, but this year I am grateful for people who bring me coffee, kiss me, and consistently take good care of me. #
  • Current femme invisibility convo (via @mrsexsmith & co) hits me hard. Maps exactly to my experience w/ business clothes in kink/queer space! #
  • Bad: Listening to The Killers. Good: Ridiculously tasty burrito. Bad: I-hate-everything kind of day. Good: Now have Windows 7 on my netbook! #
  • Got 7 pages into Easton & Liszt's "When Someone You Love Is Kinky" and started sobbing. Unexpected. Disconcerting. Will try again later. #
  • @silviastraka Special version of W7, yes. I didn't install – my tactic was to give it to my IT guy, bat my eyelashes & say "Plz make it go?" in reply to silviastraka #
  • I bump my grandmother with my elbow. She fakes me out by pretending to cry, and then points and laughs at me. I love when she laughs. #
  • Happy day! Watching the dog show. Family drifting in. Food chaos beginning to take shape. #
  • Food soon. My cousin is counting plates. 24 plus a baby makes this a small Thanksgiving. #
  • So much sweet potato. SO MUCH. #

  • @supertailz If my birthday presents succeed in making you fat and drunk and happy, I will call that a total win. in reply to supertailz #
  • 'A Boat Like Gideon Brown' makes me tear up every time. Should go on my 'Songs to Avoid When Wearing Eyeliner' playlist. #
  • @silviastraka @ironrose13 I ended up with an Acer Aspire One. An unexpected sale dropped in my lap; wasn't expecting it, but love it anyway. in reply to silviastraka #
  • Words of the weekend: Productivity, pressure, pragmatism, passion and puppies. #
  • @SoraiLaFey Also playfulness, partaking, patience, profanity, and people partial to picaroons and pongee. in reply to SoraiLaFey #
  • So far this week: 29.5 hours at work for the job that pays me. Expecting 20 more. 13 hours for the one that doesn't. Expecting 10 more. Gah. #
  • Allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. #
  • So what do we do? Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. #
  • @MajaMajaMaja Exactly! in reply to MajaMajaMaja #

  • Lately I feel like all of my emails disappear somewhere b/n my inbox and the person I'm trying to reach. A silent internet is disconcerting. #
  • @nikolasco Aw. Thanks! Ping! Except all I have to say is "Hello." How're things? in reply to nikolasco #
  • @writingdirty I have Wave now. (I have the Wave? I have a Wave accnt? I've been Waved?) Confess I don't get it yet. Do you? Do you like it? in reply to writingdirty #
  • @writingdirty Already have an enormous number of touchpoints to talk w/ people. Need to know more abt why I should care, basically. *shrug* in reply to writingdirty #
  • For some reason I really wish I were coming home to tea and holiday lights in my window. It's been a long weekend. #
  • 2 1/2 months of aggravation, copious amounts of booze, & far too many bag jokes later, our shit is finally secure. The Haven is bedbug free. #
  • @writingdirty You only know one kinky NYC writer you might want to make out with? This surprises me. in reply to writingdirty #
  • Headed to a nonprofit networking event for work…in high heels and a suit. #
  • Successful evening, but I don't quite grok these grown-up clothes. My kingdom for a footrub. #
  • The Veteran's Day Parade is going on outside my office. Drums come through the window. Hundreds of people in uniform. Makes me miss Bear. #
  • @maymaym Oh, cool! Thanks for the tip! in reply to maymaym #
  • @barrysaunders You waited until after I moved away from Sydney to grow your hair and and buy tight jeans…why? in reply to barrysaunders #
  • @TurtleInATeacup Congratulations to you too, then. Do you still jump every time something itches? Are there post-bedbug support groups? in reply to TurtleInATeacup #
  • @barrysaunders Are you accusing me of making you fat? in reply to barrysaunders #
  • Books are back on Haven shelves, albeit jumbled and sometimes upside down. Art emerges from black plastic and slowly settles. Hello, home. #
  • As I went to work this morning I was having a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Then I got a voicemail from my Dad about acorns. #
  • @crewgrrl Um…amazing. in reply to crewgrrl #
  • You guys, I have a new netbook, you guys! #

  • Home sick from work. Head aches. Sound like a frog. Don't know what to be for Halloween tomorrow. Maybe a frog would work? #
  • @MajaMajaMaja That…may actually be a brilliant idea. in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • All of my stock-in-trade costumes are in bags and inaccessible. Garb? Packed. Goth? Packed. I am shockingly uncostumed. Halloween fail. #
  • Good: It's warm. It's Halloween. I go to Chocolate Show with @Rikakulon. Bad: Depressed and cranky. Good: Small children in costume dancing. #
  • Best part of World/Inferno Friendship Society: The pit. Second best: Watching our costumes slowly disintegrate into rags and makeup smears. #
  • The bruises from dancing last night are finally rising. They look like deep sea creatures coming up into the sunlight. #
  • RT @NoOn1Maine: Important! Why we might lose marriage equality in Maine tomorrow http://bit.ly/4og08Q (Come on, Maine. Don't be like that.) #
  • @MajaMajaMaja Hopefully my beard was dashing. Why Japan? in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • @Rikakulon @MajaMajaMaja If anyone dreams about Rachel living in Australia, I will be exceptionally tickled. in reply to Rikakulon #
  • Oh Maine. You hurt my heart this morning. #
  • Someday far from now someone will ask me where I was when the Yankees won the '09 World Series…and I will have the best answer ever. #
  • @urbantantrika @Rikakulon @romanticrope Sorry folks. My cryptic tweeting is purposeful! Ask the next time you see me. I will tell stories. in reply to urbantantrika #
  • @professornyc Sounds like fun, and would be good to see you. Do I need an invite for the reception? in reply to professornyc #
