You are Not a HUMMEL Figurine at All

20 April
A Hummel figurine is an inanimate object that sits on a shelf or mantlepiece. You are not.

After taking a "What kind of Industrial Solvent are You" Quiz recommended by M.A. on a Friendster BB, I stumbled upon this other little quiz in the hopes that I might discover my inner chatchke. Hence I am no chatchke but if I were, I 'd be this one.

BTW- If I were an Industrial Solvent I'd be Soysolv.

I had lunch at the DWP cafeteria today: one slice of potato-pesto pizza. If you think that sounds funky, well it was. Think frozen potato shreds (no doubt left over from the morning's hash-brown concoction) meets Trader Joe's pesto meets last week's chicago-style pizza. If you haven't guessed, I'm working a regularly scheduled job now. The job is good and on days like today I get to sit in the sunshine and feed scraps of bread crusts to fat little sparrows. I like to talk to them when nobody's listening. BTW-I know there's like a month missing from this blog- give me a few days and I will clue you all in.

Just Spank Me

Dear Friends , Please forgive me for the lack of updates- my life has suddenly become quite insane and I'm trying to play catch up with the blog and all the dirty laundry. If you want to help me please go to imdb.com and do a name search for me. You see my ranking has dropped to below a million and that makes me look bad. Don't ask me to explain exactly what that ranking means. Just go there and do it. Stay tuned for more news in the next couple of days. xxoo Margie

Sometime in February......


Browsing through

my family photos

Perhaps inspired by some piece I heard on NPR I photograph my junk drawer. Instead of cleaning out the clutter I plant all the seeds in my garden and burn all of the incense.

 

The Kitchen sink is clogged for a month The dishes are washed in the bath tub every few days or so... I'm having some sort of freak out so we take a day trip to Ventura. It's cold & really fucking windy and the sand gets in Hans' eyes. I insist on spending time on the beach anyway and Hans has to go to the vet a few days later.

 




ellipsis......
I return from NYC 2 days before Xmas and quickly craft Mr. Miller a pair of my favorite kind of slippers...... now he can't steal mine...
Later we have our Xmas dinner @ the Astro Diner in Silver Lake

Your Horoscope for February 8, 2004
LEO (babyhans rising)
Stop working out what each little move is going to cost you because it will spoil your enjoyment. Money may be important, but it must never come first. Decide what it is you most want to experience and start doing the things that will make it happen. You can worry about what it will cost and where the money will come from later. There is always a way. Since when have you been unable to pay? source: www.nypost.com

websurfing.....................
babyhans related links: to find out what sites are related to your own try a "Google Advance Search." (click the link to the right of the search box on google's main page then scroll down the page for the "similar" option. It's really fun. Here's a few of the sites "related" to babyhans.com (sans unknown indie rock bands i have little interest in) please note that i have never linked to any of these sites from my own until now and 6 months ago the sites related to mine were a lot more fun (so was my life)

The month has flown by and the rent is soon due. I've made no New Year resolutions except to do whatever I feel like and trust that it's okay... even if that includes working 5 days a week which I've been doing since the 14th. Although I truly hate working a day-job I'm grateful to have a little cash. My job's okay- I'm completely overqualified which means that I don't have to work so hard. Most days I feel like I'm working at the S/M House because getting my body there (like getting out of bed in the morning I mean) is the hardest part.

Feta Cheese Browns
But Does Not Melt .....
Once I'm there I work when there's a task to perform and when there's not I can draw, read books, surf the net. Great coworkers. No stress no homework.
Now that I'm mentioned the S/M House (or day job) my mind's wandering off into perv mode. I'm surfing an enema query & here's my perv site of the day-

Happy Monday!

Old Highschool friend and sound engineer Kol Marshall sends greetings from first the Catskill Mountains in NY, then from his new home somewhere in Texas. I respond in a lengthy email that perhaps has him spooked...... One time when I was telling my friend Lowell about my passion for having a couple of cocktails while composing emails, Lowell mentioned that computers should come with a built in breathalizer......

Someone's "spoofing my domain" to send a virus all over the world and it really bums me out that people think it's from me. I got a call from a "concerned consumer" (got my number from a 'who is' query) notifying me of the Trojan and I said that although I already knew about it, I'd already contacted my webhost & there was really nothing to do about it. So my webhost told me to "ignore it and it will go away." Sounds suspiciously suburban to me...
In an effort to protect my site a bit better I'm changing servers, the transfer has been problematic and now I'm thinking of switching hosts all together......

21 January
Just attended the Sexworkers Art Show at the Knitting Factory...... like going in back in time ten years to a former life... very Jennifer Blowdryer. ...Like going back in time more than ten years...... very Annie Sprinkle who started (well to the best of my knowledge) the whole whore empowerment performance art sex thing......(one day I'll tell my NYC Annie Stories) For a fleeting moment I saw myself on the stage Mistress Marla reads her S/M poems while cracking the whip! (dude that's like the girl who lived one of my many parallel lives) Happy to see Scarlot Harlot from Coyote & Sex Workers Film Fest in SF. Theresia Introduced me to Norma Jean Almodovar (Cop to Call Girl) who runs ISWFACE- the peeps who are trying to get an initiative passed to legallize prostitution in California.Stay tuned for more info about the ISWFACE Art Show & Benefit in Los Angeles in March of 2005.
12 January
Still thinking about xmas... a quiet day spent watching TV with Mr. Miller, brunch at the House of Bliss, dinner at the Astro. I was not depressed... and of course was completely shocked that I didn't feel my seasonal textbook self-loathing. Perhaps the most unexpected thing about life after losing my sister is how it completely obliterated my suicidal thoughts. I think she's watching out for me. Hey if I believe in the spirit world does that mean that I'm not really an atheist and I won't burn in hell?

I've decided that I need to get out more, so last night I went to the Yoshitomo Nara opening at Blum and Poe. Actually the only reason I traveled all the way to the West Side was to see my old friend Matt Titus (Yale Grad and former Zen Monk) who works at the gallery. The show was stunning if you like Big-Eyed Girls and of course it sold out before it opened. After the show I had the funniest sentimental feeling and thought that I might like to have some Big-Eyed Girl art of my own.

I don't think that I'll ever be able to afford one of Nara's pieces (except a T-shirt that is) but perhaps a Margaret Keane?

BTW- I know the name of at least one Hollywood Celeb who bought a Nara piece but I've taken a vow of silence and can't tell you who...............

surfing the net for schnibbe led me to the urban dictionary:
schnibbe: A small rabbit/bunny.
"Aw, look at that cute little schnibbe!"
"That schnibbe has a twitchy nose."
"I don't like schnibbe's when their snouts are too pointy."
"Bad schnibbe!"

Source: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schnibbe
like who wrote this? did they know me? how do they know about my bunnies?
BTW- in the real world schnibbe does not mean a small rabbit/bunny
it is somehow related to the german word for "whittle"

good housekeeping tip: hide the porn when the family visits

Happy New Year to all. I believe that this may have been my first totally sober New Year's Eve in a few years. My fifteen-year-old niece was staying with me for a week and I've been staying away from the booze since I'm the designated driver and I guess cause the family back east does enough holiday drinking for all of us.....ah yes and about the family- I found out when I was in NY in December that my family reads babyhans and one particular member

quoted me stuff I'd written about her ...in a polite kind of non-judgemental way ...... of course she omitted the part about me poking fun at Catholics. So for the moment I think I'll stop talking about them. Well, perhaps in another moment......
So my niece (whose name I am omitting because I don't need her friends finding her on my "net nanny blocked" site in a google search) is really a wonderful young woman and is much better behaved than I was at her age. She doesn't drink, smoke cigarettes & pot, take LSD and date twenty-one year old boys, you know like her aunt margie did at fifteen. I'm getting all teary-eyed mentally reminiscing about some of the fun places I went to while I was in High School. Keep in mind that it was the seventies..........
