stank!

i don't like not having a computer at home. i'm at the library and felt compelled to let you all know that i'm alive. i mean... if anyone still reads this. here's the thing- i have a lot to write about. for starters, i successfully roasted my first thanksgiving turkey.

it was also the first time i hosted the festivities. we had another nigerian family over and somehow- that took alot of the percieved pressure (that normally keeps me from doing those types of things) off. so if you're ever nervous about hosting something- take my advice. invite foriegners. they are very gracious.

i took pictures of the bird and named him in honor of my dad. ROGER. this is part of a long standing tradition to name our turkeys. normally- they are biblical and normally- they are male and patriarcial- moses, samson and the like. i know most dad's might be offended to have a turkey named after them; but not my dad. i bet he was honored. i brined the turkey for god's sake. it was beautiful.

in other news- i started a part time/ temporary job. yesterday was my first day. i work with four gay guys who chain smoke and listen to vintage madonna all day. no joke. we cleaned the church rectory today at the parish where all my friends went to growing up. it made me nostalgic for all the hell we used to raise there as children. it was also ironic. a bunch of gay guys who don't feel welcomed by THE CHURCH end up cleaning up after the gross monsinger.

one thing about my life- is that it is seldom- if ever- dull.

more later. please pray that our computer gets healed.
