“Have you ever been with a woman,” Dan asks.
“I’ve had intimate encounters with women but nothing I’d call sex,” I reply carefully.
“How do you define sex?” Continue reading Orificexual

Welcome To PAX!
This new video series actually deters me from trying out cosplay at PAX. I’m starkly off-center from the average con-goer and old fears emerge when I’m among them. Greatly enjoying all my new-thing trying, I still don’t excel in a large group. No reason to call any attention to myself. I tend to get bullied by Gamers. Just as a 4-year old is excluded from the 10-year old’s party games, it’s a circumstance that simply exists no matter how much she wants to change it. That’s how I feel, showing up late to the gunfight with my knife.
Simulated Reality
At Disneyworld in the 90s there was a state-of-the-art ride that offered a multi-sensory experience inside an alien spaceship. An arena of futuristic chairs encircled a holographic tour guide in the center. Our seats were armed with as many doo-dads as a Dr. Seuss invention and the basis of the experience hinged on reduced visibility. Clever lighting and timed release of things like mist or hot air accompanied the narrative and in-seat surround sound gave the impression of things happening all around the cabin. At one point I even felt an alien brush against me. My 12-year old disbelief was suspended almost the entire time. Continue reading Simulated Reality
Brunch
It’s so surreal in Seattle. People totally do brunch here but not the way churchgoing Southerns do. It’s much more casual. People leisurely get up and go out whenever they feel like it from 10am till whenever. The regimented waves of services attendees from noon to one on a Memphis Sunday means you have to get up and get your brunch before 11am if you want to enjoy it. Otherwise it’s a circus of socialites and the devout.
Restricting bars with indoor smoking to a 21+ rule forced every Midtown brunch place in Memphis to ban smoking. They couldn’t afford to lose the Sunday family business.
9-year olds
I’m observing a 10-year birthday party made up of young boys. About 50% Asian, notable only because it’s not the demographic of my hometown. They are scared of me and my lime green mohawk, maintaining a respectful distance. That’s slightly gratifying but my smile gives me away. I’m just a strange girl typing in the corner, here by the grace of adulthood. Why I’m here is irrelevant. Their opinion doesn’t count. Continue reading 9-year olds

XCOM 2: Embrace the Autosave
You know that feeling when you wake up before you have to and you just don’t need to sleep anymore?
Me neither. Not for a really long time. I had forgotten what it feels like until today. I woke up with free time. Yes, it’s just as glorious as it sounds. It’s beautiful outside so naturally I decide to play a game. Continue reading XCOM 2: Embrace the Autosave
Loudmouth Cunts
I’m back at the Highline again tonight. This time, all female comedy show called #loudmouthcunts. I happened on this show last month and enjoyed it immensely. When I saw a Memphian on the lineup for tonight I high-tailed it to Cap Hill after my Sunday drinking. Continue reading Loudmouth Cunts
