Looks like Newsweek is onto us.

“Polyamory scares people — it shakes up their world view,” says Allena Gabosch, the director of the Seattle-based Center for Sex Positive Culture. But perhaps the practice is more natural than we think: a response to the challenges of monogamous relationships, whose shortcomings — in a culture where divorce has become a commonplace — are clear. Everyone in a relationship wrestles at some point with an eternal question: can one person really satisfy every need? Polyamorists think the answer is obvious — and that it’s only a matter of time before the monogamous world sees there’s more than one way to live and love.

I don’t really try to be cutting edge; it just happens that way.

My love and I are going to the Summer Darkness festival (near Amsterdam) August 7-9. If you have a demo you’d like me get into the right hands during the festival, leave a comment here and I’ll be in touch shortly.

“How will you do that, Diva?” Aahhhh, that is my secret, young Paduwan. Just know I got a DVD of the movie I was in a few years ago into the hands of both Rob Zombie and Bruce Campbell.

In person.

You need PR, I got game.

Use me.

Oh, this event in Seattle looks like too much fun. I do so love our book collection, but buying via eBay and other online resources isn’t the same as holding a book, feeling its weight, and turning the pages.

I wonder if I can talk my love out of some frequent flier miles …

I just finished reading how this organization started as a response to the Bush Administration canceling support for the United Nations Population Fund in 2002.

I’m all about zero population growth and women having real choices in family planning, so I’ll be sending my own donation soon.

Put your money where your mouth is (or you ain’t sayin’ nothin’).

Sometimes when a person passes, words fail.

This is one of those times.

Goodbye, Bob.

According to an article in USAToday, more states may start offering beer tastings, much the way wine tastings are available now.

The Divine Miss M and I went on a fact-finding beer mission last week and found that Great Divide (Denver) offers up to five samples before you have to order a pint; Mountain Sun (locations in Boulder and Denver) has a $9.95 “pick your six” beer sampler on their menu; and I’m not sure about Avery Brewing (Boulder) or Wynkoop (Denver), because their beer is so good I ordered a pint right away at each place without considering a taste first.

When she returns to visit Colorado, we’ll finish Denver - Flying Dog may have moved to Maryland, but Breckenridge is still here - and then head up to Fort Collins for New Belgium, Fort Collins Brewing, and Odell.

There is nothing - NOTHING - like the micro-brews in Colorado … which also happens to be home to the Great American Beer Festival, scheduled for September 24-26 this year.

I think I know when she’s coming back.

Photo shoots are like doing yoga for four hours.

A good friend of mine sent along information on a website which specializes in vintage clothing.

I perused it for the first time today and discovered they also sell reproductions of period gowns from the Edwardian (1910s) through the Camelot (early 1960s) periods.

I am sooooo in love.

My professor thinks a piece I wrote about the oppression suffered by transgendered folk could become a senior thesis, even for my declared English degree. She also changed the curriculum of the course slightly to reflect some teachings by the person I profiled in my research paper.

I think I’ve found a new college adviser.

Hope she’ll have me.

And it’s over now
It’s over now
And I don’t even know what I should I do
‘Cause I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Of what I have intention to do

The battle is over
The war it is lost
Can you survive it
Whatever the cost
This is how it’s supposed to be
I think I still need therapy
