Horoscope for November
12, 2003 IF WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH IS YOUR BIRTHDAY Your values, both personal and professional, will be tested this year. What you thought you believed in, what you thought was important, will at various times come under pressure, and that pressure is the universe's way of telling you that it is time to look at life from a more expansive point of view. Don't be afraid - you'll like what you see. |
| Your
Stars By JOYCE JILLSON TODAY'S BIRTHDAY Regardless of outside influences, you have tons of get-up-and-go this year. The best luck is had when you channel your vigor into your career in the next two weeks. Public opinion shifts in your favor come December; people accept and encourage what had seemed like a long shot. Love blossoms with Aries and Aquarius. Give yourself the kind of education you've always wanted this year: travel. In May, there is much to learn and enjoy in exotic locales. Revolutionary self-discoveries take place during your journey, giving you a new attitude about love and money. Lucky numbers this year are 10, 13, 25, 36 and 55. |

November as 40 creeps up I'm still experiencing self indulgent mood swings most likely induced by drinking a bottle of cheap red wine.... for the past ten years or so I've be been kind of obsessed with killing myself- egomaniacal self indulgent, derivative... so much like an 80's performance piece that I'll probably never even attempt it... (unlike my aunt who went splat from the top of a building or my uncle who's claim to fame is like a zillion failed attempts) so tonight I decide to do a "suicide" search to cheer myself up and where do I find myself? @ # 5 google site for "suicide" (bear in mind... out of 6 million results ) ... suicide girls.com suddenly I'm feeling quite alive.... |

November Yesterday was a logistical nightmare. We parked the Volvo near Enterprise Rent a Car in Los Feliz expecting to get another car immediately but the office was closed (Saturday hours.) We had appointments to look at apartments for Mr. Miller- did I mention that the Church Of Scientology recently bought his apartment building and that he has to move by February? In addition there's been a mass transit strike in LA for over a month so without a car we're both fucked for the weekend. (BTW -Mr. Miller doesn't drive so we only have one car.) Budget had nothing but $80 a day SUVs until Sunday. Uhaul rents pick-up trucks for a cheap day rate but the mileage charge is close to a dollar a mile. All the local Hertz offices were closed. We consider getting a cab at the Vons across the street from the Uhaul but the supermarket strike is still going on and neither of us will cross a picket line. So we hit Sunset Blvd. walking west, stopping at a phone kiosk to look up car rental places in the yellow pages and to get a cab. We find some little rental place on Cahuenga, wait 45 minutes for a cab to get us there and then an hour in front of the car rental shop for the guy to get back from errand. If you don't know me I'm one of the most impatient people on the face of the planet and although standing in a tweaker crack head strip mall (Cahuenga & Yucca) amused me for about five minutes I was really pissed off when the shitty rental place declined my credit car (my credit line $10. shy of the deposit) At least I'm getting some muscle tone walking all over LA…. |

My old Volvo has been acting up again- the engine is losing power and it feels like it's dying. It's stalling in traffic and I'm afraid to drive it. I've taken the car to my mechanic twice this week and this morning I brought it to the mechanic of Mr. Jones for a second opinion. The second opinion is the same as the first- get another car. Or more specifically- "don't put any more money into this car- there's too much wrong with it." I told the mechanic that I will drive it until it dies -not realizing of course that today would be its last day on the road. I'm really sad about losing my car and don't feel like expending the time and energy to look for a new one. |

Mr. Miller and I have been talking about going to Vegas for a few days but have decided to take a quick Trip to Ventura instead. Neither of us wants to leave Hans here with a dog sitter and we know that we'll miss him if he's not with us. Besides, Hans loves the beach and Vegas doesn't seem the same without Sigfried and Roy?

| Hey I lived through the early 80's in NYC when beautiful Graffiti was a part of every day life. Riding the subway rocked back in the day.... and all the tags were like cool. And when I young and idealistic and prior to having my mind twisted by art school, I was so inspired by that Whitney Biennial ('84?) that so much of the art world seemed to hate. (i guess they hate them all eh?) |

Back to the
Here and Now: So my neighbor told me that the police told her that there
is a turf war happening in Silver Lake between the Silver Lake 13 and
the 18th Street Gang. The 18th Street gang are trying to take over here
because of curfews/injunctions around their McArthur Park Alvarado turf
or somewhere. I was also told that the cops consider Silver Lake to be
the "Beverly Hills" of the Rampart Division. Wow
so here I am in Beverly Hills hitting the ground overtime I hear I gunfire
right outside my bedroom window. Ironically enough the only time I have
been shot at - at close range was in Beverly Hills. And guess what ? They
missed. Ha ha You'll have to wait for me to upload my 1999 journal (250
pages) to get all of those details. |

October It's been raining a lot here in LA which is great for the fires. Without the rains who knows what could have happened to Southern California- perhaps we'd all be burnt to a crisp. Gee and my mother always told me that California was going to fall into the ocean ... death by drowning, death by smoke inhalation or death by fire - who knows what's worse. Probably death by cigarettes as my ashtray overflows...So I was in Santa Clarita today and was quite relieved to see smoldering hills rather than giant flames. It's really quite amazing to look at burnt hills and see the exact spot where the fire fighters stopped the fire. I was on the 5 freeway bottlenecking with the rest of the geeks mesmerized by those hills completely decimated save for a small clump of trees near some homes and the freeway. Like a whole hill was burnt and then there was green. The homes had been saved. Quite an amazing task. Now we have our own heros here in the "left coast"... |

October After a random telephone conversation with Mr. Jones I realized that I'm actually more paranoid about my bookmarks than about anything that's on my hard drive. I have this fear that my computer will be seized and that I will be arrested. All of this stems from my knowledge that the US gov't is monitoring my website. Although my paranoia subsided a bit when I discovered that one individual from the military was merely looking for "underground comics," I've still decided to wipe out my bookmarks and start over. Over course upon closer scrutiny I've realized that my bookmarks are about as harmless as a search for underground comics ... |

October Happening on the 21st of October @ the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood- My favorite LA Film event: Attack of the 50 FT Reels!! |

I haven't missed this annual Super-8 extravaganza yet and I'm happy to be included in this year's line-up. Norwood Cheek masterminds and MC's the event- You all know Norwood even if you think you don't - he's actually a kind of low key and shy genius workaholic - I have secretly seen him on a major national Television commercial and his name appears in the music credits of at least one blockbuster Hollywood movie and he's a member of a very hot local band ..... |
| See you at the Egyptian- thanks to Fabulous Silver Lake Celeb DJ Prickle who stars in my little Super-8 movie and Theresa Gehri who had the courage to do the voice-over and didn't have to "fake" the German accent and of course to Daddy Freud for publishing the text written by some insipid little brat in the early 1900's... |

hard to top 'the stalker loved her the best he knew how.' 'motherplug'
is a runner-up, though. .... I'm
also feeling homesick for Arthur Ave... perhaps I can buy a ticket for
the LA Version of Tony & Tina's wedding (or was show over in the 80's?)
.... all we have in my neighborhood is the Fountain @ Griffith Park Blvd
& Riverside for gown watching.......... more BTW- Lowell says(sic) : a computer should come with a Breathalizer.......... and I always thought all I needed was spell check and forty levels of "undo" ....... |

Long
Lost September 4 Hilary sends a shout out from NYC along with pics of her new dachshund friends- oh yeah and her BF Tom too. I have not shown these pics to Hans as he would be extremely upset to know that his unconditional weiner dog love has been usurped by a couple of Brooklyn bitches......After escaping the island (Long Island if you don't know) Hans made a pit stop in Queens before hooking up with me on the |
|
Lower East Side and finally moved it on up to Gramercy Park to a security pad with a doorman. If you don't get it yet - to Hans Brooklyn is... well you know just one of those other boroughs..........So you see Hilary was the first biological female that Hans fell in love with -Prior to Hilary, Hans had always preferred the company of boys and trannies and the only 2 women he'd ever trusted were his mother and Naomi of course.......... |
