Story of O
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The classic erotic novel, STORY OF O relates the love of a beautiful Parisian fashion photographer for Rene. As part of that intense love, she demands debasement and severe sexual and pychological tests. It is a unique work not to be missed.
Main Street Station (my fav. building in the city):
I'm with Ragdoll on this one! I think it's just downright SEXY!
I met a young man (young... 11 yrs my junior to be exact) at Element Lounge Monday nite and he was in a black kilt and killer boots. Yep, Sexy! Real Sexy!
Each October, you can find me at the Richmond Highland Games & Celtic Festival and it ain't just to drink Ale and listen to bagpipes!
Oooooh, suddenly I'm daydreaming of Kirk McLeod (Seven Nations) in a kilt..... yummmmm!
THE SCOTSMAN
Chorus: Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street ......
Chorus: Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts
Chorus: Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
nothing more than God had blessed him with upon his birth
Chorus: Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
'round the bonny star that Scott's kilt lifting showed
Chorus: Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...

As David thinks to himself about his old friend Aaron Lightner, "Why does shame and self-loathing become cruelty to the innocent? How is that so often the case?"

This quote from the book had me rolling in the floor:
That's right! He's a Personal Friend of mine!
Yes, once again, I'm on an "author spree". Reading everything I can by Dean Koontz.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Dylan O'Conner is a gifted young artist just trying to do the right thing in life. He's on his way to an arts festival in Santa Fe when he stops to get a room for himself and his twenty-year-old autistic brother, Shep. But in a nightmarish instant, Dylan is attacked by a mysterious "doctor," injected with a strange substance, and told that he is now a carrier of something that will either kill him...or transform his life in the most remarkable way. Then he is told that he must flee - before the doctor's enemies hunt him down for the secret circulating through his body. No one can help him, the doctor says, not even the police." "Stunned, disbelieving, Dylan is turned loose to run for his life...and straight into an adventure that will turn the next twenty-four hours into an odyssey of terror, mystery - and wondrous discovery." "It is a journey that begins when Dylan and Shep's path intersects with that of Jillian Jackson. Before that evening Jilly was a beautiful comedian whose biggest worry was whether she would ever find a decent man. Now she too is a carrier. And even as Dylan tries to convince her that they'll be safer sticking together, cold-eyed men in a threatening pack of black Suburbans approach, only seconds before Jilly's classic Coupe DeVille explodes into thin air." Now the three are on the run together, but with no idea whom they're running from - or why. Meanwhile Shep has begun exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior. And whatever it is that's coursing through their bodies seems to have plunged them into one waking nightmare after another. Seized by sinister premonitions, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to crime scenes - just minutes before the crimes take place.
Every city has secrets. But none as terrible as this. His name is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who’s traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. He arrives as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Detective Carson O’Connor is cool, cynical, and every bit as tough as she looks. Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to Hell itself–and that just may be where this case ends up. For the no-nonsense O’Connor is suddenly talking about an ages-old conspiracy, a near immortal race of beings, and killers that are more–and less–than human. Soon it will be clear that as crazy as she sounds, the truth is even more ominous. For their quarry isn’t merely a homicidal maniac–but his deranged maker.

What a nice surprise!
Sorry about the crummy pic from my phone, but I didn't have my camera with me.
I think Lil' Kim presents us with the quintessential example of Camel Toe.
Thank you Kim!!
And just what the hell did he mean "I do love you, just not the way you love me"? What the fuck did that mean? She never wanted him to love her in any way other than His Way. She never asked anything of him really. She never asked him to leave... She's not sure she'd even want him to.
Did she want things the way they were? Yes!
Did she want time alone with him? You betcha!
Did she want him to want her??? Absolutely!
But did she want him... or anyone... 24/7? No. No way!
She never expected anything from him. How COULD she? But what did make her crazy was that he invited her into his life... into his lifestyle. Then he all but ignored her!
That Bites!
This is my buddy FWED. When he's in his jogging get-up, I call him "Big Bird." It's for "Visibility" he says.

The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission to Be the Artist You Truly Are
by Danny Gregory
Book Description: When Danny Gregory's life was turned upside down by tragedy, he learned to cope by teaching himself to draw. The result was a complete transformation of his life, his priorities, his career, and the way he saw the world. In handwritten chapters full of his lush watercolor illustrations, Danny now offers readers a program for reconnecting to their own creative energies, using drawing as an example. He gently instructs us in the art of allowing ourselves to fail, giving up the expectation of perfection and opening our eyes to the beauty around us. The result is the permission to express ourselves fully and take part in the creative process without fear. Artist or not, readers of all stripes will find inspiration in this unique and beautiful book.
