Interview!!

This is a request for everyone that believes in ANYTHING...God, a higher power, Buddah, Krishna, Mohammed, The Flying Spaghetti Monster...to be thinking of me on Tuesday around 1pm as I am interviewing for a dietitian position at Albany Medical Center in the hopes that I can finally move closer to mi amor and get to see her more than just every couple of weeks (though going up for this interview means that I get to be with her for at least one night!!)

The Medical Center is looking for a dietitian to work at their AIDS/HIV clinic, helping the participants with their nutritional needs and what foods to choose. I'd also be helping out at another clinic in Albany for a couple hours per week. It's obviously not a perfect job (but neither is my current job!), but at this point, I'm willing to take just about anything to be closer to Dana!! I'll find out more about the position on Tuesday and hopefully they like me and want to hire me!!

So, anyway. Send me some good thoughts, karma, joo joo and everything else on Tuesday around 1pm!!

It's Just Like Footloose!!!

This is just silly.


NO DANCING IN NEW YORK CITYThursday Feb 22, 2007

NEW YORK (AP) -- Should you find yourself in a bar in New York City, and the music playing makes you want to get up and dance, please resist the urge. A state court is upholding the city's Prohibition era law that bans social dancing in bars, restaurants and certain clubs.

Those who like to get up and boogie sued, arguing the 80-year-old law illegally infringes on their right of free expression. But the court says recreational dancing isn't a form of protection that's protected either by the state or U-S constitutions.

I'm depressed!!

I always seem to get down in the evenings. Doesn't seem to happen as much during the day, just at night. Maybe it's because the reality of not having someone to snuggle up to in bed finally gets to me at the end of the day. Maybe it's something else completely...chemical imbalance, seasonal affective disorder or something like that. ;)

Whatever it is, I know it's not nice. And it's especially not nice on Valentine's Day. The fates seem intent on keeping me and my beloved apart for as long as possible. There are absolutely no jobs upstate for a dietitian and no librarian positions down here in the city. DAMMIT!!!

I know in the grand scheme of things my life could be a lot worse but is it really so much to ask to be near my soulmate?! Answer me that, fate!!!

*incoherent grumbling* Don't mind me, just bitchy and missing mi amor, not a good combination!! Although I do have to count my blessings. This is the first Valentines Day that I've had someone to call my own (don't know if I should count last year as we were still in the very beginning stages of our relationship and had only met each other face to face once). And I couldn't be happier. I seriously don't know what I would do without my soulmate. Adrift in a sea of depression and uncertainly most likely. But she's my port in the storm and my lighthouse leading me home safely.

Luckily, I only have 2 more days to wait until I see my Miss D again. Yay!!!

Monkeys are the best creatures ever.



Broadway is the happiest place on earth.



Everyone is an asshole when it's that time of the month.


That is all.

Happy unimaginative, consumerist-oriented, and entirely arbitrary, manipulative and shallow interpretation of romance day.

Update!!

Guess it's time to update this thing.

Dana and I got back from Montrael last Thursday and stayed at Dana's for the weekend then came back to NYC on Sunday. I came back to work on Monday and haven't really done a whole lot since being back, which is just the way it should be!! hehehe

The surgery in Montreal went really well. Dr. Brassard said that there were no complications at all which was a relief. It is cold as hell up in Montreal in January so wait until warmer months to go up there. It's a nice place to be, pretty and all, but not very enjoyable in sub-zero temperatures.

Miss D still sore from surgery, but getting better (I hope!) day by day. Now dealing with all the upkeep required after the surgery. But at least she doesn't have the horror of having to get her "special friend" every 28 days for the rest of her life! ;)

We also celebrated our first anniversary in Montreal as well, on January 28th!! YAY!! It doesn't seem like it's been a year, it's like we just met each other yesterday!!

Oh, hey, we're in GO Magazine too (a free NYC lez magazine). They apparently found us "captivating" enough to put in their February issue. Here is a link to the story and pic of us.

While up in Montreal I paid a visit to the Biodome de Montreal which was pretty cool. Lots of cool aminals and, ofcourse, MONKEYS!!! :) Didn't really do anything other than that do on account of it being so damn cold the entire time that I was up there. So I divided my time between my seedy little hotel room and Dana's room at the hospital or at the residence.

Toodles for now.
