After two hours in the bath tub, a couple three or four glasses of wine, and a recent viewing of What the Bleep Do We Know, I’ve decided that James is wholly responsible for the rash on my leg. What rash? Oh just the the undying thing on my thigh that is as gnarly to the common eye as it is perplexing to my dermatologist. It’s so awesome- and by awesome I mean sinister looking- that she’s taking me for show-and-tell to some dermatologist meeting. Hopefully it’s an open bar.

Back to whatshisface. I’m convinced that it was the sulphorus fly-off of his hellish being that has caused my skin to blister and peel. Or that he is at least partially composed of poison ivy leaves. Oil maybe. Poison ivy oil, I mean. Anyway, the point is that now that he’s gone – really gone this time, not like last time or the time before- it should be healing in no time. So say we all.

I’d include a photograph of my dermal affliction but all photos fitting that description make me feel like I should go work out. And we wouldn’t want that. Plus rashes are gross.

Despite its immunosuppressive effects, my relationship with him is proving to have been fruitful. Half a dozen poems, something like 2,132 blog postings-give or take 1,895- every last one of them intoxicatingly entertaining, a title (Your love gave me a rash) for either a limerick or a collection of short stories, and two screen play ideas. Break up inspired work- a tired concept? Not just tired but haggard, bedraggled and goddamn exhausted like I was the whole first year Brandon was alive. Acknowledged. But fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.

Now to actually write instead of giving in to my many distractions

For your viewing: tonight’s diversions. But alls I have to say on that matter is this. Pho Van, blogs and flyinghighlikepapergettinghighlikeplanes?…Fuck…Yeah! Throw in a disc of The Tudors and some Spike popcorn and I’m golden.

Ma’fuckin Golden.

Oh that reminds me. My favorite quote from Harold and Kumar is “Come on, Pookie, let’s burn this mothafucka down!” Go rent it and watch that part and you’ll see. It’s brilliant.

Alright. That’s all for now.
