Read this today on SFGate’s Daily Dish (sad, that I read the DailyDish religiously)…and decide for yourself.
LARRY WACHOWSKI TO BECOME LINDA?
“Matrix” moviemaker Larry Wachowski is reportedly planning a sex change operation, so he can start a new life as Linda.
The 37-year-old’s secret life was revealed when his wife of nine years, Thea Bloom, divorced him last year, claiming he is a transvestite who had an affair
with a dominatrix porn star called Karin Winslow.
Now, according to British newspaper the Daily Star, Wachowski is preparing to take the final steps on his quest to become a woman.
Wachowski and his brother Andy wrote and directed the smash-hit sci-fi movie trilogy…
Not that I disapprove, it’s just interesting.
On that note, happy weekend everyone!
I celebrated my 28th birthday this past weekend. It was the nicest little fete. (It didn’t live up to a pajama jammy jam – it was way too HOT to stay in one’s jammies.)
As usual, too much food: pancakes, crepes, blueberry coffee cake, monkey bread, strawberry mousse cake and champagne!
I received some nice and nifty gifts. I did finally get my pink VonDutch hat. (yay!) What Sylvain had to go through to get it – I’d better be wearing it 24/7.
Sylvain and I spent that afternoon looking at homes (to buy). Driving through Bernal Heights we stumbled across our old apartment on York Street to find that Thelma had put the building up for sale. About $1M for the building or $525K for the bottom unit and $725K for the top. Crazy prices, but great views and great weather (and a nice solid bedrock foundation). We found our dream home near Mt. Davidson, but just outside of our price range. Bummer. Another home near Sutro Tower seemed nice. However, the current owner is an avid collector of practically everything and anything, so it was difficult to visualize the house as ours. (The selling agent had noted that the owner had packed most of her collectibles too! So you can imagine.) We asked the agent questions regarding health & safety issues, with the tower practically in the back yard, but no cases of cancer and pretty stable during earthquakes. Which is a good thing.
Do you have any idea what we’ll be doing next Sunday? (Saturday is Yoli & Craig’s wedding.)
Yup! Sylvain has received his green card (it’s more of an eggshell color, if you ask me) so he is now free to look for work elsewhere and we are free to travel…or at least have the option to travel internationally. Though…we’re trying to save cash for a house.
So let me get this straight.
It’s okay to show someone getting shot point blank in the head on television. (Though, I am a big fan of 24.) But to utter a profanity or to expose oneself indecently on television is not okay.
I just wonder how many nations around the world are snickering at us for making a big deal over nothing? Stuff like this is pasted all over Europe and probably pretty much the rest of the world.
I should not be allowed to shop alone at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Honestly. I went to return items and I came out with two shopping bags. I don’t think that it’s possible to go into that store and NOT come out with a bag. Same goes for Target. :o)
…In other news….we went to see a performance of “The Goodbye Girl” in Los Altos the other night. (Katie had a role.) It’s kinda neat to go to a show and see your friend on stage, singing and dancing. Can’t wait for her next performance!

Finally. I figured out how to post my playlist to my blog. Kind of.
Read the following offer posted on craigslist. Then come back to discuss.
An iPod is quite a payment to pretend to be one’s gf. But still. Why bother lying? It’s just gonna get you in deeper trouble. Also, the person that actually answers, are you THAT desperate for a little electronic box that plays music?
For further amusement, entertainment and killing time visit the BEST of craigslist.
