For someone like myself who craves the sunshine and sweat the summer in the Midwest bring, the onset of fall is depressing and makes me quite irate. I wear flip-flops until it snows for christsakes… but like all of life the changing of the seasons is a necessary function for all of existence to be able to grow. Change is just so fucking hard sometimes, when we get into these routines that bind us at the ankles and scream and tell us we are content, that we are molded to believe it and for anyone to challenge these beliefs is thought to be insane. Insanity itself though is beautiful as are the colors of the changing leaves, those that rustle in the wind and make love to the scent of change, not cringe and collapse as so many of us do. Just as these changes continue to strengthen the ongoing circle of life, the one that can be bent but not broken, they also break certain parts of comfort down to make way for new growth- these little buds that poke their heads out of dark shells like newly popped oysters… just waiting to be gulped down with some miso in an unorthodox aphrodisiac inducing shot.

Speaking of changes- hope everyone likes the new homepage…….. This site like a new baby is continuing to grow-
So to enter us into a new month I will share some photos-

This lotus flower doesn't even look real- but it is- the picture was taken at the Botanical Gardens

As was this one...

See I can get dirty...

And tell you to suck it!

So I am here sitting in my bathrobe on this Monday morning after multiple infuriating phone calls and a banana smoothie. People are just pissing me off today; maybe it’s my body revolting and my brain throwing a hissy fit.  I stayed up all night Saturday night and then slept all day yesterday, meanwhile the rain rinsed Chicago’s trodden streets and this sweet little dog lay at my side. I drunkenly got two CD’s stuck in my computer the other day and so I am going to head down to the apple store and see if they can’t fix it… lame, I suck I know. Such as life. Now it constantly makes this ejecting noise and whirrs unsuccessfully. Not to mention won't play a damn thing.

Sunday; So I got the computer back today- yay!!!  They replaced the drive and fortunatly I was still in my 3 year warranty so I didn't have to pay for shit. Amazing how much it was missed….. The thing is I have a subwoofer hooked up to it and speakers and shit so without it I was down a sound system. Totally bogus!
I also cleaned the apartment in lieu of a friend coming tomorrow to stay with me until she finds a place to live, which I am looking forward to immensely. Although, my apartment really just needed a thorough cleaning, what with the constant nakedness and whatnot, plus I had made every room a dressing room full of dirty clothes and randomness. Speaking of I should go check the laundry...
I also need to go grocery shopping this afternoon, there are seriously not enough hours in the day… convenient though how I already made it to the liquor store….

 On Wednesday I will be at the Chicago Sexpo , check out the following flyer here- but I will be kickin’ it with the SWOP table (sex workers outreach program) so if anyone wants to come down to Excalibur/Vision  on the 24th and buy me a drink that would be awesome!!!!! I am not sure if you can buy tickets at the door so checking out the myspace page would probably be a smart idea!
Hope to see you there!!

Today is a rainy Monday that involves the comfort of warm food and the snuggling with a loved one.  A couple weeks ago I had picked these wild pears at the place where I garden and so this morning I made this warm soft pear compote like thing that we used as a topping for some pancakes.  Picking these pears was quite an adventure, I had to use this makeshift tool that was 2 blades (1 in a c shape and the other perpendicular to it) atop this long (maybe 10 feet) stick that cut when this string was pulled and these two blades connected. This tree was amidst these bushes, many of which were covered in thorns, so there I am, trying to maneuver this strange tool, branches stuck in my hair, little green pairs falling down into the soft earth. It is the gathering and growing of your own food that I believe makes it all the more satisfying and fulfilling.

So David goes down into the lobby of our building this morning to find this notice :

To the couple who has very loud sex
(oh god, OH GOD)

We are glad you have satisfying relations…

however, please either shut your windows or keep it down.

The entire building does not need to share in you lovemaking.

Many thanks!!

Now, we’re not sure if this sign was intended for us, but the possibility is great. I didn’t believe that the sex we’d been having was especially loud, but who the hell knows, its not like I’m usually paying attention to the range and scale of my moans.  Needless to say, we took the sign and hung it in our kitchen. Te he te he te he he…

I can’t believe how quickly it has turned into fall, the leaves are collapsing onto the city streets and the accessories have turned into boots and jackets. My windows are still open (as my neighbors obviously attest too) and even though the mornings are cool I can’t bear to shut them, it’s like closing the possibility to the idea that the nice days are over.
We went to see the movie Choke yesterday, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk (for those who don’t know he wrote Fight Club) it was so fucking awesome! I love his books and it’s awesome to see them turned into a decent on screen production. Then we hung out at a local bar and played pool long into the early evening. It was a beautiful day.

Just a reminder to all my peeps, check out thenetgirls.com to be updated on the awesome event!!!!!!!!!!!

Much love and kisses! Xoxoxoxox- Morgana
