12:57 pm - Update on my father's condition
|
According to my mother's most recent letter:
The big news recently is that AElfwine got released for the Labor Day weekend. I'm not sure whether that's because they figure why not since he's going to die anyway, and they had nothing to do to him over the weekend with the staff minimized, but we'll take what we can get.
[I'm not sure if I have updated recently enough to say that the leukemia came back again, and that this time it was in his spinal fluid. They are trying chemo to kill the blasts again, and then will try a "mini-transplant" to attempt to get him to grow healthy cells again.]
( More Detail )

Sorry if you tried to see me at Jacques last night. I didn't find out that the space had been double-booked until yesterday evening. So our show got cancelled. Sigh.
Anyway, unless you are a disco fiend, I wouldn't recommend trying to see me at Machine tonight. I have one number, and it's at 12:30am!! On a school night! gee whiz.
Next Monday (9/9) at Jacques, I should have a few numbers worth seeing, though.
And, for those of you what work on weekdays:

12:08 pm - The Meaning of Marriage
|
I've only been to four weddings I can remember.
When I was eight, I served as a ringbearer at my aunt's wedding. I looked at it as a chance to show off how good-looking and grown-up I was. The fact that it wasn't about me never occurred to me. I spent most of the day being annoyed that people kept mistaking my five year old sister and I for twins.
The next year (I believe) I served as ringbearer for another aunt. She had planned to wed outside, but it poured, so the wedding was held in her living room. My uncle played the piano. All I really remember is being upset that I didn't get to ride in a Swan Boat, as had been promised. (I still haven't.)
When I was thirteen, I served as a ringbearer in my godmother's wedding. I looked at it as yet another boring grown-up party where no one would talk to me, despite my being perfectly capable of having adult conversations. At least this time I knew it wasn't about me, but that didn't stop me from being annoyed. The only perk, as far as I could see, was that I got to stay in a hotel.
Last year, I went to my first wedding as an adult. Despite the fact that I knew it wasn't about me, I spent the entire event completely self-absorbed and terribly self-concious of my gender issues.
It occurs to me that I might be a self-absorbed asshole.
( What Does Marriage Mean? )
So I want opinions. What does marriage mean to you? Please specify your marital status in your reply.

Drag on, little Dan. Drag on.
Last Sunday I had a drag show at Jacque's again. Forgot to remind everyone, but a few people made it. Thanks if you were one. I did "You're the One That I Want" (from Grease) with Miss Diamond Dunhill and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" (Sting). As I was leaving, Diamond asked me to do the Grease number again this week.
Friday I did outreach at ManRay and a lovely woman there said she had seen me at Jacque's and loved my numbers. I was so proud.
Saturday was Glitter Switch Drag Karaoke at Hollywood. This was Miss Jasmine Allure's second performance at Glitter Switch, and I had a lot of fun doing her. I'm pretty much ready to say that Jasmine is my real drag character. Willy is too close to me to be drag.
Then tonight I did the Grease number with Diamond again. She didn't want it to be my only number of the night, so I did "Uptown Girl" (Billy Joel) again, and got a much better crowd response then when I did it two months ago. And she's asked me to do the Grease number at least twice more, next Sunday, and on Labor Day Weekend. Tonight I was the only drag king in attendance. It made me feel a bit special.
I've been thinking about retiring Willy. I feel a little weird calling it drag when it's mostly my own clothes, and I already pack and bind all day. But then tonight, I realized that it's really kind of Victor/Victoria-esque. I want the stage time, so I pretend to be a girl pretending to be a boy.
I have already told Diamond that I wanted to go away for Labor Day weekend, so I figure if I stay in Boston, she can let me do Jasmine once at Jacque's. Seems like a fair trade to me.

10:25 am - Bizarre Dream I had this morning
|
I am picking up a maternal woman who is not my mother from the hairdressers (on foot, for some reason). Crossing the street, she stops in the middle of Mass Ave and says "I think it's so sad."
Not sure what to make of this, I reply "What's sad."
"I just found out that my hairdresser is gay."
Bristling, but staying under control, I ask "What's so sad about that?"
"Well, he's always talking about all this sex he's having. But if he's gay, then sleeping with all those women must be making him so unhappy!"
translation for people who aren't Dan: the woman doesn't understand that sex can happen without a man and a woman
current mood:  amused

8:04 pm - I went bowling today
|
I had lunch with a friend, did a little shopping for Willy, and then we went candlepin bowling, as he had never been.
I feel vaguely guilty, as if somehow I've cheated on my normal bowling group.

I couldn't do it.
I tried to go to a friend's party tonight. I had told her I would be there. However, I knew Brad would be there, too, and he's said there would be a very bad scene if he saw me there with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) dabunny.
dabunny has been closer friends with the woman having the party than either Brad or me, and for longer. He had every right to be there.
But when we pulled up outside, and I saw Beatrice, Brad's car, I knew I couldn't take a "very bad scene." Brad has said that saying I care about his feelings is obviously false, because my actions "prove you a liar." I couldn't prove him right. I hope he enjoyed the party.
Why the hell am I still letting him have this much emotional power over me?

My dad's blood test yesterday found leukoblasts in his blood and it was confirmed by a test of his spinal fluid. The leukemia is back. Prayers deeply appreciated. The odds are really long now.
