Queen of the Desert

Why does it always leave me in such a good mood when I catch Priscilla on TV by accident? I kind of want to go out and make it with an Australian drag queen now. While listening to Abba. Or “Take a Letter Maria”.

It’s also got me thinking about 1994 when I had a boyfriend who was neither Australian nor a drag queen. I’m having this very strange mental picture of the two of us flying up I-5 from LA at 4:00 in the morning, listening to Abba’s greatest hits really loud. It seems strangely comfortable now, but it didn’t at the time. I think I ws pissed about something, probably the fact that we were driving home from LA at 4AM.

But I don’t think I’d mind doing the same thing again right now, albeit maybe with a different companion…

New Year’s Eve

From all the streets blocked with big “no parking 3PM-4AM” signs. it looks like the cops are expecting last year’s non-existant riot to surface tonight South of Market. I can hardly wait. Really.

I don’t usually do much on New Year’s Eve. It’s one of my least favorite nights to go out, given my lack of patience with crowds, particularly crowds of severely drunk idiots. I haven’t decided what tonight’s plan will be. Depends on what’s on TV, I guess…

Anyway, hope you have a lovely new year. And if you’re drinking and driving tonight, I hope you realize what an idiot you are…
