Earlier in the day…

Moe: “Hey Claw, I am going to wear my ‘Cocktails’ tshirt today. You should, too.”

Claw: “Oh that’s a good idea. I will make sure mine is washed.”

Moe: “Cool. So I will see you at the party in a few hours.”

Claw: “Yeah, perfect. I miss you. I can’t wait to see you.”

Moe: “I miss you, too. See you soon.”

Meet Hank…the cutest yellow lab in the world.

The lens must smell like other dogs and that’s why they are so interested in it lately.

Maggie is a chocolate lab, but you really can’t see her cute face.

Hank and Oscar going at it for hours on end.

Drew Cutler, Tommy and Steven Daigle in his glasses.

Noel and Tiffany…who is done with chemo! woohoo! We were also celebrating the completion of their backyard. It was one year ago that they started and it looks amazing. Congrats on all the hard work!

Moe and his little brother Wes who just moved here from Boston to go to SDSU.

Meet our extended Long’s Drugs family. (Back row left to right) Dan, Mikel, Noel, Emma, Moe, Train, Chad and Eric. (Middle row left to right) Tiffany, Zimmer, Alicia, me and Claw. We all either worked at Long’s in PB in the late 90s into the 2000s or we were roommates/significant others with people who worked there. It is a much much larger group but many people have moved away. You will notice that Tiff is holding a photo of Melissa and Matt…we miss them sooo much.

Watch what Claw is doing to me.

I finally had to go to the other side.

Pyramids! The last time I was involved with one of these with Emma (who weighs 4 pounds and is always on top), Moe and Claw it was in the lobby of the W Hotel downtown on my birthday last year. Rich was there, too as well as Puma Swede and Nikki Benz. I need to find that photo. It’s priceless.

Tiff and her boy Hank.

After the party we went back to Tommy’s where I discovered this amazing suitcase with a vintage jacket inside! It took a few minutes but I managed to talk Tommy into letting me have it. Despite his “Getting Kicked out Kegger” back in May at the house he squats in, he still lives there. It’s full of weird surprises!

Tommy slept in today and did not make it to the races with his Daschund Denny. Denny did not like to be put in the suitcase one bit.

We went to Fiesta and when the drama started happening is when I checked out. Gay guys and their drama. Jesus.

One of my very favorite things to do in San Diego is the annual Wiener Dog Races. The first round is mostly dogs that have no idea what’s going on with the occasional sprinter who has been training. The winners of today’s races go onto compete again at the Del Mar Race Track on September 6th…the winner of it all gets to ride on the Wienerschnitzel float in the Holiday Bowl parade. One person drops the dog into the corral and then when the door opens the idea is that your Daschund is smart enough to listen and look for you at the other end of the track. Supposedly if your dog shits on the track they are immediately disqualified, but I have no proof of that. Today’s goal with Payton, Oscar and Bailey was simply to finish. They were all amped and ready to race. Well, actually I don’t know that for sure since I don’t speak dog, but they were all starved by their owners so as not to slow them down during race time. None of them have participated in the races before, so really it would be a miracle if any of them actually won. It would be especially miraculous if Payton won since she only has vision in one eye.

Payton’s owner is Steven Daigle from Big Brother #10. He recently moved to San Diego from Texas and I just loooove him. Oh, PS he also does gay porn now Payton arrived in her warm up track suit.

Oscar, owned by Eric, is one of those dogs who becomes consumed by the squeaky toy. He destroys it immediately and barks incessantly until you give him a new one. Or until you slap him. JK.

Bailey is just a sweetheart, owned by Claw.

Zimmer was feeling left out so I took his photo with the fish eye lens as well. Good boy, Zimmer.

Eric arrived earlier than us so Oscar raced a little bit ahead of us. I was not prepared so I missed his first race. sorry!

So cute!

Jenn was the one releasing Payton.

So embarassing.

All kinds of folks turn out for the races!

OK Payton and Bailey race #1.

Jenn and Zim dropping them into the gates. On your mark! Get set!

Hahahahah poor Payton is lost looking for her Dad with her one eye. Bailey is cruising to get her little bite of ham.

Payton: “Hey are you my Dad?”

Payton: “Well, have you seen my Dad?”

Poor little thing. Jenn finally had to grab her and take her down to Steven. We were all dying laughing.

Claw brought Lunchables for Bailey to snack on. Lunchables. Yes, Lunchables.

Don’t think for a second that this is my first rodeo. Of course we had cocktails.

Between races Zim and I did a little sightseeing.

Umm, excuse me. Get yer fucking mutant Daschund out of here. Look at the size of that thing! How unfair to race one 3x the size of the other normal ones. Christ.

I love this shot. BLISS.

Bailey is actually rubbing herself in Steven’s nasty chewing tobacco spit. He is from Texas, after all.

OK Oscar, race #2! Second place! woohoo!

Emma and Zim dropping the girls again.

lol look at Emma’s hands. She thinks it’s Top Chef or something I guess. HANDS UP!

Steven was screaming her name at the top of his lungs this time. It was so funny with his accent “PAAAAYTON” She heard him though!

Go Payton, go!

Who cares if she ran to someone else, she made it to the end.

So cute and so curious.

Their fat little paws kill me.

Which way to McGregors?? It’s time to eat.

Jack and pickle juice. It was not even noon. oh gawd.

Weird looking skull beer foam.

The waitress had 2 different colored eyes like Bailey!

It was a perfectly fun start to a perfectly fun Saturday.

Wednesday March 3, 2010 and Thursday March 4, 2010

I decided to take a little trip to LA so I could run some damage control with people in the industry. I don’t want anyone to panic and think anything is wrong and I want everyone that I have been dealing with for Suite 703 to feel confident that it’s going to be business as usual working with Tommy 5tone. Poor kid has a lot of his plate now, but he can handle it and will be fine as soon as they get someone to help him. I am going to be working from home for the next few weeks to get him through this transition..

On Wednesday I took the train to LA and then to a subway to Hollywood. It was actually really easy and makes me hate LA a little bit less. I met Justin Martindale at his apartment and fell in love with his roommates new puppy. She is a rescue from some bad people who kept her crated for like 15 weeks and her back legs aren’t very strong. What a little sweetheart.

Justin was performing tonight at the Hollywood Improv for Gay Days, a monthly thing they do showcasing gay and lesbian comics. It was great, each one of the comics goes on for about 12 minutes or so and I can honestly say that Justin was in the top three.  The crowd was in hysterics the whole time. The guy who plays Darryl from The Office showed up and was just chilling at the bar…. and I wanted so badly to take a picture with him, but didn’t want to be “that girl”, the rookie who gets star struck in Hollywood. After the show we went to a small place in West Hollywood called Saint Felix for a few drinks with the comics from the show. I had the sliders which were made with bleu cheese dressing and were delicious! Then we decided to head over to Here Lounge where Justin and I were getting pretty silly and he was lusting after a hot go go dancer. 818 gave up drinking for Lent, so we had a sober driver all night. It’s pretty awesome but isn’t doing anything for my liver.

We went back to Justin’s place and he showed us a bunch of creepy weird clown toys that his old roommate left behind. Umm. Ok. Scary.

My Dad was a huge John Wayne

What a sexpot!

On Thursday during the day I saw Hot Liz and Carly Parker who were in town from NYC. We hung out briefly in the back of Eva Angelina’s SUV because Liz just had foot surgery and couldn’t walk anywhere. So basically they picked me up, we chatted in the car while driving for an hour and then they dropped me off in West Hollywood. Hilarious.

I went to an event at Micky’s with a bunch of industry people and told everyone about the changes that are going to happen and then got up at the crack of dawn on Friday to head home for my last day in the office. I am a little emotional…

Here is Steven Daigle from Big Brother. What a cutie!

Thursday 1.28.10

Tommy and I drove up to LA to do another promotional event for Suite 703 at a place in West Hollywood called Micky’s. It’s a meet and greet for gay porn stars to meet their fans and they were super cool about letting us give away tons of our schwag and pretty much take the place over.

Our favorite gay comedian Justin Martindale and Tommy the Tool again. I am just going to start cutting him out of the photos.

Drew Cutler and Rob Romoni

My gay porn crush Trevor Knight

Steven Daigle from Big Brother 10 who is now officially a porn star! Congrats to Chi-Chi La Rue for being the devil and talking him into doing porn.

This is a guy named Bobbie who I chatted with on Twitter for a while and we finally met. He reviews gay and straight porn… we have some business to discuss

It only goes from 6pm til 9pm so afterwards we went to the Abbey where we got a booth and bottle service. Our entourage was quite a spectacle.

Zoinks look at this dude’s body!

Oh wait, THIS is my gay porn star crush… His name is Johnny Hazzard and I legitimately get nervous around him. This is the second time I have met him. He’s so dreamy.

Me and the super famous Chi-Chi La Rue!

Alright, once in a while we get a pleasant face. Thank you Tommy.

This is apparently Michelle from Big Brother 11. I had strict instructions from my best friend Sigrid who is utterly obsessed with BB to tell her how upset she was that she had been railroaded in the show and that it was awful how mean they were to her. I have no idea what any of this means since I have never seen one minute of that show. Here ya go Sigrid!

Perez Hilton was also there but I didn’t get a photo of him. Here is Taylor Dane. Evidently after I left the DJ started playing a bunch of her songs. lol The gays love Taylor Dane! She was very nice even though she looks like she has me in a headlock.

Again, I ducked out early. Wouldn’t want to miss a chance to get laid
