Intermezzo

Does NSFW mean 'Not Suitable for Work'?  Just guessing.  I don't know these things.

               
               This is NOT Didier.  But you're on the right track.

I thought having a Blog would make life easier, simpler; I'd centralize my on-line chatting and correspondence, I'd create the equivalent of one-click visiting with friends and loved ones.  Instead, I'm now inundated with more emails, more communications, more explaining -- I'm spending endless hours in private conversations, off-line explaining, back channel negotiating, translating, elaborating, mollifying -- enough!  I'm just one small spiritual being!  This is worse than Versailles with all the secrecy, the gossip, the intrigue.  So here.  Here are my responses to the more pressing questions and requests.  You know who you are:

Yes, I do think I know the meaning of the phrase, "told in the strictest confidence."  I agree, "when Hell freezes over" seems too soon.   How does NEVER sound?

No, I did not teach school in Euclid, nor have I ever been a priest.  You're fishing.

My darling, I'm working on a lawyer.  Yes, I think that's the best approach.  No, you probably haven't been with him long enough for palimony.  Stay strong!  I'm here for you!

Alas, I do not have a My Face, Space, or Place.  J. forwarded me the MySpace link of a Straight Christian interior decorator, into working out at the gym, Creationism, heavy metal, and the End Days.  Either an elaborate parody or too scary to contemplate.  I'm going with too scary.  No thanks.

NO, I am not "going public" with it.  And forget about claiming "mental anguish." 

Yes, I  WILL TELL your Mother.

"Deadliest Catch" is a guilty pleasure.  "DAwg BOunty Hunter" is more like appointment viewing.  I watch "Color Splash" without the sound and make up my own dialogue. 

The correct expression is "High Bottom [as opposed to Low Bottom] Drunk," but "High Drunk Bottom" may apply in this case.

No I don't secretly work for Chris Hanson.  Now go away.

The "org" does not necessarily indicate non-profit, but I haven't made money that way in years.  "Love that's slightly soiled"  -- that's from a song, huh?

To R.S.:  I Blamed it on the Bossa Nova.

To RH: You are very kind.  I guess the truth is, if I had the kind of faith in my own work that I have in yours, I'd be fine.  And that's the irony of doing what we do, isn't it.  I think you have exactly the right words, and I'm the one who's working in the dark.  Crazy.  But, if there's some laughs along the way, then it's not so terrible, right?

                  

               "Monica Vitti.  She proved once and for all that existential despair could be incredibly chic."  - JC, on hearing of the death of Antonioni.

PS: I'm gonna watch "Time to Leave" tonight, about a gay fashion photographer suddenly facing terminal cancer, starrring Melvil Poupaud [the adorable French guy in "Broken English"] Nothing like a good cry to clear the sinuses, right?
