denials

I've been denied the first choice of my name change. So I now have to choose from the original list I submitted. I've made the choice, and also moved the blog to an address that reflects that choice. You should be redirected automatically.

I thought I'd mention this since I know some of you just can't live without your daily fix from this blog.

It's now wileykyote.com like wile e coyote(the cartoon character who never spoke. Now there's a dichotomy for you, since I never seem to shut up), but it's in the available domain name version.

I'd attach the Warner Bros. cartoon theme song, but I find it so annoying when I'm trying to read blogs at 5am and out of the speakers comes blaring some song the blogger just knows I can't live without hearing. So I'll spare you that on this page.

the problem is the point

Ok, before I talk about me, since that's all I seem to be able to talk about lately, I have to relate a great story I just heard.

Apparently a patron here at the library checked out a few of the Russ Meyer movies we have in our a/v department and upon returning them remarked to the person at the desk that Russ Meyer "had a real problem"

How do you explain that Russ Meyer's problem WAS the point?

I've noticed that bloggers everywhere abandoned their posts and went off to celebrate the holiday. They're returning slowly but surely and updating us on their exploits. It's nice to see them return.

Myself, I am holding at bay any thoughts of holidays, and christmas memories, and warm fuzziness, for the moment. It'll overtake me at some point and there'll be some saccharin post for which I'll be totally regretful but I'll leave it up because that kind of being human is good for me. Not really my thing, but good.

Rob Brezny, my guru, advises me this week to read Relationships for Dummies.

Oh my.

I knew it never went well, but I wasn't aware it needed that kind of help. Just before the holiday I was invited by a man on this "social networking" site I was talking about a few weeks ago, to meet for coffee. We tried to get it together before Thanksgiving, but everyone was leaving town, I have three jobs, the only time I had was not possible for him, etc.etc.

So ultimately I recommended we table the meeting until after the holiday. It seemed the smart thing to do. We all put so much pressure on ourselves at this time of year anyway, it seemed silly to get all worked up about meting a stranger for coffee and doing it in a rush. My feeling was, and still is, "Let's meet when we can sit and talk for an hour or two and really find out if there is any interest."

Apparently I missed my window. I've heard nothing since I made the suggestion. Ah well.

They just brought some new books to my office. One of them is "Become a Better You" by Joel Osteen. Read, "Become a better you, just don't be gay" This is the guy I was railing about a while back who was teaching people to expect that God owed us soemthing, that we should expect that our God is just waiting to make all wrongs in our life right and that all we have to do is let God know we expect that and it'll happen. Seems a trifle selfish, but that's just me.

I believe it was his brother-in-law who recently renegged on the offer to allow a funeral to take place for a guy in Texas, Dallas I think, because though they offered it to his sister who apparently was involved with the church somehow, they subsequently found out this guy was gay and called the whole thing off. Good Christians they. They might want to take heed of Joel's make things right philosophy and rethink their position.

There are times they bring books to me I cannot wait to get out of my office, like the day when Bill O'Reily's book came in. I washed the desk after it was taken out of here.

I have to put together some kind of recruitment package today to attract actors to this project I'm working on here. No response so far, but I intend to make personal appearances this week. Maybe my magnetic demeanor will do the trick.

Ok I'll get a really appealing package together.

Love
