If I had the body to pull this off- it would be my perfect spring/summer evening performance outfit:
(if someone can find where to seriously order this- I will certainly ’owe them’ a little somethin’ somethin’ *wink*)
these pants/belt ▲ with these shoes I almost bought last week ▼
And then in the autumn, when it would get chillier…I would have this tucked away...

It was a routine for a while...
Somebody Tumbl’ed about ‘Judy Garland’ recently…and though I’m not a huge gay-for-Garland, her and her performance arts have followed me in a few paths of my life. One was with my exfiance (a HUGE gay-for-Garland).
Years and years ago, as he was falling asleep on particular night, rambling about things I don’t think he was aware he was saying out...

Rebekah: *scrolls through TV guide*
Me: Hawaii 5-0?!?!...I've never seen it but we played the theme song in marching band one year and I loved my drill for it.
Rebekah: You should never repeat that. Especially if you ever want laid again.
Me: ...
Rebekah: At least don't open with it!

I like to keep meals as fresh as possible...
This night I totally cut corners on making dinner. That’s right…store bought bread, packaged veggie burgers, frozen French fries, store made pickles… Buuuut I did make the spinach lentil soup myself…and made our tic-tacs.
When asking Rebekah how she wanted me to put her burger together…she replies, ‘I’m just a simple cheeseburger girl.’ Then...

...wait a moment for any shards of glass to...
Last night we agreed that I would try to do something fresh tasting with scallops…
I gathered and prepped my ingredients.
I blanched some celery (which I actually love, because I don’t care for the bitterness of celery, but when blanched that taste disappears and a subtle sweetness takes over). I also herbed-up and cooked some red bell pepper, mushroom stems, green squash, and...

...You'll have to take me back to S. Africa
The other night, Rebekah and I tried some South African recipes. (Meaning I prepped and cooked, she bought the wine and ate.) I was really nervous about the meal…because certain spices and directions I was not use to, nor would ever think to do on my own. The entire time, I told her it was okay if she did not like the dinner, I would not be offended if she wanted to look through a take...
Ali: look at all of these hot gay men!
Laura: I hate them for looking like this.
Angelica: are you looking because you're being checked out like crazy. 'you're a regulation hottie'.
Me: not looking. In fact, tonight Pete's my boyfriend.
Pete: Stacey would not..
Me: fuck Stacey. If anyone asks, tell them we're currently buying a house in CT and have been making love together since 2007.
Pete: like Stacey and I
Me: fuck Stacey.
Pete: I wouldn't mind to right now...
Ali: pretend Pätrick is Stacey
Angelica: I'm so glad we did those triple shots of whiskey.
Me: you're Asian, I hope you took your pepcid a c before you get all red and look like an Asian drunk whore.
Angelica: I'M 1/2 GERMAN!!!!
Me: oh nah nah, what's mah name.
Angelica: Pätrick...
Me: exactly bitch.

If only I knew how appropriate that reply was...
Oh friends…
This package had to be picked up from the my concierge…Oddly I was was told to make sure I was ‘ready’ for it from the friend mailing it. My reply was, ‘I’ll make sure I wear some sexy underwear for the occasion’. If only I knew how appropriate that reply was…
This is what was inside, along with a cow-cover card with a message...

...the craziest nap dream...
I just had the craziest nap dream…involving some of my favorite Tumblrers…
Setting: a Cafe- me sitting with Kate Walsh, Sara Ramirez, and Jessica Capshaw (who were actual doctors in my dream). Oddly, Jed was playing the piano in the background. The ladies and I were shooting the shit, until pagers went off and they had some crazy consult emergency to address…and then Kate...

Bananas in Peril
January 4, 2011 at 10:00AM by Justine Sterling
Enjoy your smoothies, splits and cream pies while you can because it might not be long before their key ingredient goes extinct. Banana plants all over the world have been plagued by disease for the past two decades and it looks like our crops are next.
A recent (and expectantly epic) piece in The New Yorker told of the demise of the Cavendish...

imthedivineashley asked: I love you so much! That is the ONLY thing that could have possibly made me laugh! Now will you please write me a script for some pick-me-up pills? Please and thanks!
(I will also accept massive quantities of tequila.)

...but I'm glad to have my girls back with me
During this ordeal, I ended up leaving both Irene and Sophia at Patty’s place on the Duffy farm…and due to scheduling conflicts, they’ve remained there through the holidays. However, this weekend she was to come with my girls and have two days playing with me in Manhattan. Life happens, and the friend she brought with her needed to return tomorrow morning to Gettysburg for a...

...make me another drink please.
Rebekah: Have you seen JC (Emily's gaysian) lately?
Emily: No, he hasn't talked to me since I brought another gay to his NYE party.
Rebekah: Yeah, my LA gay is not happy I've replaced him with my NYC gay.
Me: Coincidentally, my hag has not talked to me in almost two months.
Rebekah: This situation is top shelf.
Me: How is it top shelf?
Rebekah: No, I meant my cup is empty...make me another drink please.

if he was gay...
I met my friend Adam on the Pitt rugby team when I joined during my undergrad years. We’ve grown a lot together in the last few years through the games, field nursing classes together, working in the ED in Pgh together, and now going after grad level medical degrees…maybe a bit too much in some ways (but I wouldn’t have it any other way). He’s built, gorgeous, smart,...

...3 of these and I was done
We had a last minute decision to make dinner. I was asked to pick something ‘comforting’…so I went with my variation on ‘meat and potatoes’…BBQ Salmon, baked potato, and a veggie medley.
The fish was delicious…but I normally make my own BBQ sauce, and I was not a fan of this one’s recipe. (I won’t be making that mistake twice!) The...
