NELL CARTER IS BACK FROM THE DEAD – FO REAL!
You are never going to believe how hilarious today is for me.
I just opened up the mail at my job and there was a package for me inside of it. I mean, sure, my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, so it’s not totally out of the ordinary for some special gifts to come in the mail. In any case, I open up the box to find a cd of Nell Carter singing with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus!
Now, if you know me at all, you know that I love and adore Nell Carter. Her voice, her presence on stage, her overall attitude…it took her dying for me to realize how much I love her. I also found out, post death, that she was a lesbian! AMAZING. I just love love love her.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though Nell made any solo cd’s when she was alive. However, I mentioned to my mom, two weeks ago, that I really wanted to find a cd that had Nell Carter singing on it. Today, I received that gift from my mom. Is she not the BREAST mom ever? I am elated and thrilled to be in possession of this wonderful treasure.
I’ll have to hug my mom extra hard when I go home this weekend.
In other news, last night I drank a bottle of wine, ate a rack of ribs, and split a cheeseburger with some friends at Dallas BBQ. Needless to say, the pork slathered beef tasted SO good going down. Unfortunately, it hasn’t come out my ass yet, so I am really wondering where it went to? While we were sitting outside in the patio, sucking down our TEXAS sized margaritas, a huge cockroach went running by and almost jumped on my friend Angie’s face. She screamed, I laughed, the cockie roach got away.
Then on the way home, I was crossing the street, all full of ribs and happy, when a menacing Asian woman came flying down the street on a ten speed bicycle. I jumped out the way just in time and Mariah calls out in the woman’s face, “I STOP FOR NOBODY!” I died laughing and gave her the esteemed award of “Joke of the Day”. You really had to see the Asian woman’s face. She was unphased by my presence in the street. She was determined to speed away as fast as Asianly possible.
When we got back to the apartment, Paul surprised us by getting out of work early. We had one last glass of wine together and then Paul and I stayed up for another hour talking about our plans to move in together. We are hoping to make this transition in early December. Until now, he has been fairly hesitant in discussing the details. But last night, we talked and talked and talked and I finally got him to admit how excited he really is. It’s a big, yet totally necessary step for us in our relationship. It’s time. And I am thrilled about it. I figure, if we get a one bedroom apartment, and we both pay what we’re paying now, we will get a PHATTY AWESOME crib in the best part of Manhattan. We can spend just about $2,000 a month on a place and that means…REALLY NICE PLACE! YAY!
I really need to buy myself some summer clothes. I always move so slow on that shit and I end up having to wear sweaters in this awful NYC heat. H & M here I come! Open your vagina and let me in.
I so loving shopping in vaginas.
