what's up, buttercup?

On SF tweetups and couch space

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:09:04 -0800

Ok, so here’s the deal. I have space at my place for SF tweetup folk to stay, but I only have a couch and floor space. I also have cats and a dog, so no pet allergy people, sorry. I live in Pacifica, which is not SF, but is 20 min south of SF. Also: ocean. Not particularly BARTable. But I have an automobile. I have to work during the week, but I work in SF. And so forth. So, if any of you girlies are on the fence about coming out, or penny pinching, etc. and think that a free place to stay will entice your hot little arse to the Par-teh, lemme know and we’ll make it happen.

More than anything, though, it boils down to this visceral need I have to defend someone for whom I care so deeply. That, and a burning desire to put a raging douchebag in his place.

Summer became a fan of Blocking Matt the Douche.

I’m not sure I want to see what salaciousness looks like.

salaciousness looks like me on this bike, going downhill

this is what lust looks like

View from our vacation cabin in Mendocino. This morning we awoke to a pink and purple sky. Of course, I was too slow to capture it with my dslr, but I did get some nice morning light shots that I’ll process when I get home (forgot my cable in typical Summer fashion). Lucky for me I’ve got three more mornings to try to capture the magic on “film”.

Also, thanks to those of you who have written me about my sis. The justice system is moving along and she is stepping through each day an putting her life back together. She’s a strong person and that’s really showing right now. Hugs are also pretty magic.
