It’s a beautiful spring Saturday afternoon and where am I? In my climate-controlled condo – updating my blog. Actually, I really only came home for a little while so Dusty isn’t alone all day.*<\/P>
\n

Matt and I went to the Loew’s Boston Common today to see the matinee of Connie and Carla. It was actually quite a cute film about two women that flee Chicago after witnessing the murder of their boss and they end up working as drag queens in a gay bar. It made us smile.<\/P>
\n

Then, before even exiting the building, Matt bought tickets to the next showing of Kill Bill, Volume 2. Since there was an hour between movies, I was able to talk Matt into going to Fajita’s and Rita’s. After eating and writing “Karl -n- Matt, 04\/17\/04” on the wall next to our table (it’s encouraged), I came home to play with the dog.<\/P>
\n

And that’s where I am now…updating my blog and neglected Dusty. Though, once I’m done, I’ll play with her before heading out and, hopefully, taking some pictures on this nearly ideal Saturday: a mix of sun and clouds, highs in the upper 50’s, slight breeze. I’m in heaven!<\/P>
\n

Oh, and last night I started having a life again! We went to dinner with some new friends (a co-worker of Matt’s and his partner). Normally, Matt and I are fast eaters. When it’s just the two of us, we’re usually out of a restaurant within an hour. Well, last night with good company, good conversation and a slow waitress, we spent three hours at the table. We originally had planned to go the Alley (gay bar) afterwards, but Matt was tired so we came home.<\/P>
\n

Tonight, Matt’s brother, Roy, is coming over to watch some Fassbinder films on DVD. And tomorrow another friend of ours, Jennifer, is coming over to meet Dusty and cook us dinner! What a full weekend for me! I’m living again!<\/P>

*We have floor to ceiling windows so our condo gets lots of light. Since we’re normally at work during the mid-day sun we mever noticed the trail of snot our Dusty leaves throughout the living room. Since she’ a Shih Tzu, she has a hairy face. Since she’s a puppy, she’s stupid and sticks her entire face in her water bowl when getting water. Then, with a dripping face, she sniffs along the hardwood floors trailing doggy-phlegm everwhere. And today…in the midday sun…all I see are smudges, dried-up pools, and trails of goo everywhere. I wish Roy still lived her to clean it up.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
