The lights are so pretty!
Well, as you can all see, I've added my mug on the right. This is all part of my attempt to make this blog more accessible and to personalize things a bit. If this frightens you, let me know and I'd be happy to remove it ;)
In other news:
It's White Party Weekend here in Palm Springs. That means that 20,000 circuit boys are in town holding enough "K" and "X" to make the world go away for at least 72 hours. The city has suspended it's noise ordinance for the weekend so we're bracing for the steady thump thump thump into the wee hours of the morning.
I've got nothing against White Party, it's a blast. However, last year the missus and I along with 4 of our boy buddies went to the Sunday T-Dance and within 5 minutes we were non-consensually dosed with what I assume was X (if memory of my deadhead days serves me). All six of us had the exact same thing - Coronas with lime. I'm fairly certain someone had dosed up the limes. While disconcerting at first, there wasn't much we could do about it except dance. And we ended up having a hell of a time on the ferris wheel watching the fireworks and didn't get home until 4am after a brief scuffle with security over a hamburger.
The best part of the weekend is the "Bonnet Contest" on Sunday afternoon. These guys go extremes when it comes to their Easter Bonnets. Very fun and very entertaining.
Who knows what else is in store this year, but I'm staying away from the garnishes at the bar...
Such the cutie patooty!
(Yes, I just said that.)
I like your FAQs - you need more.
More MJ, more, more, more! Your adoring public demands it.
(I'm thinking of an encore showing of your Halloween costume, maybe...or that one of you in the pool, that one was particularly cute.)
Am I seeming all stalker-ish now?
Posted by: Natalie at April 18, 2003 10:16 AMWow, I really must not pay attention because that is not at all what I imagined you looked like! Rock on girl!
Posted by: Nicole at April 18, 2003 10:36 AMOooh-wee...I likes the short hair look. And with the glasses and brilliantly white button down shirt you look very like the professor I had a mad crush on while I was going to SFSU...yummm.
M is a Lucky Lady!
BTW - Isn't it time for an updated picture of the Alien in your neighbor's yard?!

Posted by: Mopsie at April 18, 2003 11:22 AMNatalie, you're not scaring me... yet!
Nicole, I hope that's a good thing ;)
Cyndi, no - you got the yumm baby, you know it. Not much has changed with The Alien, it's just gotten taller. I'll snap a pic this weekend.
Somebody get Mopsie a glass of water!
Posted by: MJ at April 18, 2003 12:00 PMGreat Pic, MJ!
I'm sorry to sound stoopid... what the hell is "X" and "K"? You can tell I don't do pills or smoke, can't you?
Posted by: Chari at April 18, 2003 12:19 PMK is Special K and X is ecstasy.
They're hip, I guess. (I don't do the drugs but I have a ten-year-old kid so I have to stay hep to the jive.)
And MJ baby, I can go WAY scarier than *that*. ;-)
Posted by: Natalie at April 18, 2003 12:38 PMNot stupid at all! K (or Special K) is Ketamine, a horse tranquilizer. X (or Ecstasy) is a designer drug known for it's "hightened sensuality" effect. Both are big at raves etc.. Here's a good definition:

"Go Ask Alice" is such a perfect name for that site. I'm the lame-o that uses the anti-drug website, groan.
Posted by: Natalie at April 18, 2003 01:02 PMYes thats a good thing! Go Ask Alice was one of my favorite books in junior high. It was a diary about a girl on drugs and things like that. Now I am going to have to go and dig it out so I can read it!
Posted by: Nicole at April 18, 2003 11:29 PMi like that you're personalizing the site. i love reading about your glam palm springs lifestyle! i have to go live my glam minnesota lifestyle now...and clean my apartment. whoo!
