No time to write, really, but feel like I must or I will lose the three thou­sand things on my mind.

  • Furi­ous about the grow­ing homo­pho­bia in this coun­try. I may think state-registered mar­riage is a het­ero­pat­ri­archal con­struct designed to enforce bour­geois nuc­lear family struc­tures for the bene­fit of cap­it­al­ist-and-or-feudal regimes, but that’s beside the point. No state should have the right to *deny* two people in love their chosen way of express­ing that love in public (you know, unless it involves going on a gun rampage…) 
  • Happy about the cool thing sleazemon­key told me about last night. Appar­ently a witch run­ning for coun­cil some­where won an anti-dis­crim­in­a­tion case on Friday and in the pro­cess became the first person in Aus­tralia to swear an oath to the God­dess to tell the truth, the whole truth and so on.

  • Stressed about gig tonight. Feel like it is half-baked. 
  • Impressed with the guy who per­formed poetry with the ambi­ent outfit called “Of, or per­tain­ing to” on Friday after my gig. Beau­ti­ful pieces, bril­liantly put together. Must find out his name, 
  • Yay for sexy tall red-haired curvy women with legs that go all the way up. Mmm, Bonnie, you’re yummy. (and while we’re at it, yay for spa parties and rooms filled with cush­ions and mat­tresses and good heating.) 
  • Boo for writers who equate femin­ity with ‘child-like’ (I’m not kid­ding… I’m sit­ting at home edit­ing next week’s copy, and this is one of the lines I’ve just encountered. And from a woman.)

Um. I think that is all for now.
