I had hoped for this week to be a bit quieter, and I guess it was (though there was still a bit of upheaval). However, I confirmed my new office space with the landlord last Wednesday, and I’ll be moving in on the 1st; having that designated quiet space will, I think, make it much easier to catch up on my work and stay caught up (that’s the plan, anyway). Friday was the busiest day of the week for stuff y’all want to hear about, though: I gave two interviews, one to a reporter from Spokane and the other to a student from Portland, and then in the evening I went over to Mistress Matisse’s and we hung out, ate pizza and drank some kind of nameless pink cocktail that contained an awful lot of rum. I’ve never been much of a drinker, but Matisse is just so charming and reassuring that I feel comfortable imbibing in her presence without feeling as though I’m going to say or do something idiotic as a result. Anyway, we talked about doing a podcast together in the near future (I’ll announce it here and in my Twitter feed) and she gave me a couple of lovely dresses, one of which you can see here. And if you’re going to be in Seattle anytime soon and would like to see me in it (or in one of my other lovely things), just drop me a line and I’ll be happy to meet you to accept a donation toward my work in person! As of last week I can even accept credit cards via Square, so if you want to help out but don’t like PayPal, now there’s an alternative method.

I musta missed something – why Seattle? you still married?
You did indeed miss something: my column of March 2nd.
Got it, thank you for sharing as much as you have. …thinking of the various courtesan biographies you have shared…and your own understanding of your various peers…what % ever were able to form a successful lifetime bond with a primary partner? – define ‘success’ and ‘bond’ & ‘partner’ how you will. ha – and yes, then we can use those same definitions to compare % for all the civilians. Might help Ms. Bailey understand what the odds are for whatever she plans. Salaam Aleikum.
and I gather that your ‘retired’ tag line may no longer be accurate
You gather correctly. 🙂
RUMmmmmm
My favorite recipe … and I get shit for it looking feminine (I could care less – it’s a REAL stress buster) …
*** Krulac Melonhead …
In a BIG glass filled with ice …
1.5 shots of Bacardi 151 (or … for those weak in the knees … just use any other rum you want – darker would be better for color.)
1 shot of Midori
And fill up the rest of the glass with Pineapple juice and lightly stir it all together. Drink it with a straw like a New Orleans daiquiri.
I am always glad to hear how you are doing. This does sound like progress, doesn’t it? Thank you for filling us in.
That is an incredibly beautiful picture of you. Also glad things seem to be looking up for you.
