Hum...yes, so i'll be going to this thing at UNM soon. I can't say i'm as serious as some of the others from our little Santa Fe group going but the information access and experience will provide me sufficiently to decide what i wish to do in the future concerning 'activism'- if anything beyond taking care of the extent and effects of my life.

I have a blister on my right thumb from stamping over 600 people's hands for the Moby after party last night. Ouch. I was working door and taking cash. I don't even know if Moby showed up nor did i have any time to break and check.

I don't think i'd like to do the door regularly, or security for the front door. People ask you for things you can not possibly give them. They pull the most idiotic, irrational and irritating things to try to get what they want. You must remain impartial always, dead pan face of disbelief till proof. If something doesn't fit or work you turn 'em away- doesn't matter. Many people complained about the $7 cover charge for those without a ticket stub from the Moby concert- in Dallas it's usually $10 for cover. Others tried to tell me they were on the guest list. Pht.

All the faces, and the process of ticket or money taking made me dizzy. I was hardly able to recognize anyone individually. I was thoroughly exhausted by the time my shift was over.

"You're the cutest boy i've seen in here in a long time"

The most trying of the three pizza chef brothers (also the one that works the most) has been far more civil to me and is no longer teasing and whistle at me.
Why you ask?
I think it has something to do with me going in drag to our opening production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Wednesday. Now that i've shown him my Machismo side (if any) i suppose he figures i am an equal, not to be messed with or tried to put in a place. David, he and i were all 'guys' in the kitchen that evening.
He also explained to me plainly and apologetically why he calls me 'Erika' instead of 'Ari', as it's harder for him to pronounce and remember when he needs to get my attention and it is no longer a gesture to annoy as it was at first.

I think from now on i'll go randomly to my jobs (lab assistant and classes too) as well as public places in drag. I can imagine most of my old employers bursting a blood vessel in their foreheads at the sight and having to 'deal' with this inappropriate uncalled for switch. Donalee just laughed, congratulated me on it’s authentic ness, told me about her 'werewolf' Halloween costume and ordeal with the spirit gum involved therein, and wished me luck in winning the fashion contest prize.

floating heads.

Despite the cute childishness of the idea- after eating root beer floats all evening- i do not recommend making them in your mouth as you might chocolate milk. Sort of like a cement mixer effect.

Pizza my ass.

People must thing that the food i serve them either pops out of my fine arse or falls softly from the heavens above like manna flakes, swifted to earth safely by cherubs.
What else could explain the fairly crappy tips? Certainly not the economy or other attitudes about food service in Santa Fe.

blurb

The school is open after a week long break for the staff.
I've been perusing weblogs i usually don't read with my virtual time. After a good deal of reading i've decided the most annoying things about weblogs is when one speaks in one's own language, nicknames, and terms without any context for such things to anyone else.

Fancy Poetry Parts Sold Here.

Nina is helping me realize there is much more to be done in a broader range with my poetry as far as the editing and everything after it is written. Regardless of the day, this age, and the history of poetry in America. Does editing make the artist an artist above their natural talent but not capability? But, as we discussed, this does not mean making it all artsy- giving the piece(s) it's own context by an external explanation so it becomes meaningful. I'd like to do haikus with ink drawings for those that can be accompanied by them, and some, that are their own picture, without. Just black ink on white like paper. Maybe cream. Yes, anyway, details to be worked out later.

Queerness sex.

Now really- Would you rather be stuck on a deserted island with a kinky man or a vanilla lesbian??

When someone knows you in some capacity well enough and intimately enough to see something and be reminded of you in reference to it, to randomly know this should and can be a gift intended solely for you, serendipity is playing/paying her love.

You Sexy Thing.

What really blows me away is the ease of personality in the situation- the smile, the willingness in the eyes and throat to engage.

..or perhaps it was the cheap sunglasses.

After falling asleep on Joel's huge hammock from Mexico i woke up with the pattern of the nylon thread weave covering my hand and the blanket's folds along my forearm. It reminded me of the original tribal tattoos. The lines of varying depth and color and straightness and the simple patterns that flow with the bodies curves. Cool.
Oh, i finnished Omeros. Who would have thunk it?

mmm...throw me in honey or roll me in the clover baby, either way.

Today i went to the Honey Lady's place. Lordy it was wonderful. She's a short grey haired Russian lady who was delighted to have me try all the 10 distinctly different kinds of honey she had. I ended up getting a desert cactus/cat's claw honey. Next time perhaps the one that has medicinal properties as it's high in potassium. This lot should last me a year, a huge glass bottle for $8!

Shakin' that ass.

A certain librarian from St. John's who shall remain unnamed here was boogying down to the trash disco last night. She seemed to not come out to badly from the evening, or should i say, rather, make out. This has kept me smiling all last night and today.

I've decided despite the abhorrent music i like disco night just for all the older Santa Fe freaks that come out of the adobe mud wearing sequence.

*pause* Shakin' that azz! Shakin' that assss!!!

"Would Ari, Nina and Joel please stop looking at porn and come to the front of the store." -Lady at Hastings thanks to Jeanne.

For the record, Nina and i were looking at lesbian mags, Joel was drooling over a 'High Times' centerfold of a huge alien looking bud.

"spit on your groove" - random guy at open mic night.

It seems i've missed the open mic led by an intriguing (but still hanging round) lady on Sundays at the club. Buggery. Never a charming damsel about for an eligible girl. Older women damn it. Older women i tell you!

In good news though, Brooks just booked Cat Power for September at the Paramount. And That 1 Guy should be coming back soon.

In absurdly stupid news a friend of Daryl's, a far flakier, tall and scrawny, wild full bearded, soft spoken, hippie guy in his late 40's, has been popping into the club for pizza and such. By this unusuall(for him) habit one can guess there were ulterior motives besides chowing down our yaksum Philly Cheese Steaks in motion. The cumulating of his intent in these efforts were explained to me as i was resting my feet on a break last night.

He told me the brief highlights of his life- Tao master, Buddhist monk, his work for God, being part of the movement preparing for a cataclysmic alignment of a 10th planet in the spring of 2003-then, after he posited his inability around women and his 7 years of celibacy, if i would help him break it.

.....

Now, this is the most annoying thing i've heard in years. YEARS. I wasn't cruel but i was curt. Why? let me count the ways.

1. If he's a Buddhist monk/Taoist master, why the hell does he need to break his celibacy in the first place?
2. If he's so attracted to my 'spirit',
a) don't you think he'd figure i'm on the rag and the LAST thing i want to think/talk about/engage in is anything of a sexual nature?
b) let alone with an older male that just leaves a nasty taste all over the situation.
c) he should engage me on a spiritual level instead of tilting at sex covered in spirit after barely speaking with me twice?
3. Trying to explain to me the advantages of this set up is equally as squirmy of ill repute.
4. I'd probably have some respect for him as a person if he'd asked me outright if i'd like to screw. Now i just respect him less as a person and as a male.
5. This is all without the prior possit that, Fer fucks sake, i am not sexually inclined!

Trout Fishing in America

To my great surprise there was an old station wagon parked outside the Paramount last night with a very dead and very decayed TROUT tied to it's beat up lopsided fender with a bungee cord. I decided not to inhale.

"Cookie i think your TAAAMMMEE!"- The Pixies

I'd love to start a club here in Santa Fe. Rent some second floor property hidden behind the false adobe structures of downtown. Somewhere you'd have to walk down an alley, turn a corner then climb some stairs. An old office or store room would do. Hidden is the key here see. It would be a club that's wild and kinky- a buffed up serious social scene. Candles, a bar hanging from the ceiling, nothing too fancy but enough for atmosphere. All this spread by word of mouth- no public advertising what so ever. Just something that isn't TAME.

In the center of the Plaza is an monolith commemorating "To the heroes who have fallen in the various battles with ____ Indians in the territory of New Mexico." The word after 'with' has been carved out completely. Judging by the newer plaque on the fence surrounding the marble monolith, that gives an explanation of the prejudice of history and an excuse of hope for the future of this history, the carved out word must have been 'savage'.

An elderly white man with no upper teeth that rides the 10 bus from the stop i do said to me after enquiring into what i want to do with my life, "My goodness! I'm proud of you an' i don't even know you!"
It's good to find some faith in humanities abilities, maybe even pride. It's all the stronger when it comes from a stranger. That's the best place to find those feelings.

I'm obsessive about ear cleanliness. Apparently i shouldn't be, as using swabs can create it's own back up in the ear's hourglass shape. Great.

What does one do at the Scottish Rite Temple (beside temple stomp or wear a kilt and pray)? The one in Santa Fe- a salmon adobe, never has anyone coming or going.

Porn star

Yesterday before i went to work i was down at the SFCC photo lab watching Nina prepare Vandyke prints of her work for her show. Nina ended up talking to this odd, tall, well built, hair pulled back sharply, sport cloth wearing, girl. Now- this girl is a porn star, or something of the sort. Her latest production (she wrote and directed it and was printing promo photos in the lab, only $39.99 when it comes out!), besides having people having sex in it, has her running around lube wrestling. She's somehow connected with On Our Backs and some other lesbian porn agency that films in Santa Fe (go figure, Mirabai, which is it? S.I.R. Video??). Apparently lube wrestling is really her thing. She even throws lube wrestling free for all parties that are more about having fun wrestling than winning. Then there's all the costuming she does for the presentation and act of it. She's trying to get a showing of the new porno at Plan B. We'll see.
Maybe i could bust out some Jiu Jitsu moves at a party.
Very weird.
