I KNOW we should care.

…but really…is the scandal the fact that our public servants took kickbacks…or what they chose to take as kickbacks?

….the report alleges that eight royalty-program officials accepted gifts from energy companies …. including …paintball outings…tickets to a Toby Keith concert, a Houston Texans football game and a Colorado Rockies baseball game.

Because I want the biz buzz to last


A few encores:

Denny: for providing the FUEL for the evening that fed my outlier-proportioned propensity for taking center stage and propelled us into the wee hours.

Thanks also to Manny, Tino & Leslie for providing the pre-euphoric tunes.

Ching: who gave me my very first gift of the weekend on Friday, unsolicited (I don’t even know him but the rendezous was very fitting for the occasion…details available ONLY upon request!!!)


Birthday Weekend, Part III: The Final Lap

ssheeewwww this mirth is hard work. Gotta give it up to the illustrious John Cheng and Leslie Eileen Brock …and Jessica herself …for the unabashedly BEST partay a girl could ask for. One thing of which it proved was that music can easily take the place of sleep in my life. Good music, that is.


(if you can guess what the pose of me on the floor is, leave a comment. Hint: ’80s dance film…the word “maniac” is involved….)
