Busy Busy
I had a very busy day today. I went to bed last night knowing that Homer was coming to stay with me today. So I got up early and started cleaning my house a bit. Ken gave me a hard time last night because my house is normally very clean and tidy. But I don’t dust too often so I was telling Ken that I have to clean before Homer comes over. Ken said I was crazy, that people could eat off my floors. I guess I’m anal about cleaning for guests.
So after running around cleaning up, I also had to get ready for a photo shoot. I had to move the dining room table and chairs to have space for the shoot. I was doing laundry and running the dish washer at the same time. Luckily, both finished before the model showed up. So I shot a few hundred pictures of the model. He models for some figure drawing guild and needed shots to show his posing ability. This guy had a different body then my other models. I took lots of photos but mostly selected the up close, artistic shots to post on my photo page. Tomorrow I’ll have to put all his photos on CD to send to him. I think he’ll be pleased. One bad thing though, during the shoot I totally broke my tri-pod! It was very old anyway, I guess I was twisting it one way it wasn’t supposed to be twisted and one of the legs snapped off.
After the shoot, I had time to upload the pictures to the computer, put the table and chairs back in place, empty the dish washer, and fold a load of clothes before going down to the tread mill to get a few miles in before Homer called. When I got back upstairs Homer had called so I called him back. He was able to get to the Metro in the time that I took a shower. So I picked him up and brought him back to my condo. After showing him around and talking a bit, I talked him into going shopping with me for a new tri-pod. We went to Tysons Corner Mall to the Ritz Camera store and got a decent new tri-pod at a very reasonable price. Then I took him to a little italian/greek restaurant for dinner. I didn’t know that Homer is a vegetarian! We both had individual pizzas. His had veggies on it and mine had meat. he he he I loves me some meat!
The rest of the evening was filled with playing on the computer, talking about all sorts of things, and watching To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar on DVD. I had forgotten how funny parts of that movie can be. After the movie we were both tired so it was off to bed.
I was all nervous about meeting Homer but now that I’ve met him and had some great conversations with him, I’m not nervous at all. He is such a sweetie. He’s also facinating. He’s here until Tuesday morning so I’m sure we’ll have fun.
Blogger Faces and Crap
I went out with Ken tonight. We went to Dupont Italian Kitchen for dinner and then upstairs for drinks at Windows. We ran into Jimbo (he is just as cute in person as he is on his blog) and Homer. Homer is taller then I thought. Such a sweetie. Turns out he will be staying with me Saturday evening as well. It'll be fun to hang out with him and learn more about him. Click Boo (Tom) was also there but I was too shy to barge in on his circle of friends to say hello. I hope he didn't think I was stuck up because I didn't walk up and say hi. The place was pretty packed with bears and mature men.
After awhile Ken and I went over to JR's. It was kind of odd. JR's wasn't what it used to be. Of course there were lots of guys just standing around looking. But it was a weird crowd. Ken and I saw so many toupees that we thought there must be a convention in town or something. We easily counted 4 guys with rugs in the few hours we were out. Do these guys think no one can tell? One guy sitting at the bar at Windows actually had his finger up under the rug scratching his head! Guys, just go with the natural look. It so much better then trying to fool us with the rugs.
Anyway, I've got to go to bed! I have to clean my house before Homer comes tomorrow! Plus, I have another photo shoot in the morning. Yikes! I've got a lot of crap going on.

3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Empty the Recycle Bin.
5. Your PC will ask you, “do you really want to get rid of George W. Bush?”

7. Feel better?
Halloween Costume
A bald man with a wooden leg gets invited to a Halloween party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem. A few days later he received a parcel with the following note:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and, with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint. A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg, and with your bald head, you will really look the part.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the company another nasty letter of complaint. The next day he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:
Dear Sir,
Please find the enclosed bottle of molasses. Pour the molasses over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a caramel apple.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
