28. A Day Like Any Other

Today was the Australian version of May’s birthday. As always, he insisted that he didn’t care what we did and didn’t want any gifts. And as always, I ignored his insistence and bullied him into having a fabulous day. I even dragged him from his bed this morning.

We went to the zoo. I have to say, there’s nothing like a well-designed zoo with a cable car, a view of the city skyline, and peacocks terrorizing the ice cream vendors to make you feel like a kid.

It’s day two of TES Fest back in NYC, and in retaliation to the continuing jealousy and nostalgia we have decided to throw our own little party here on the other side of the world. It involved orgasms, and nachos.

Tomorrow I’m teaching on knives for the Über Skill Share workshops. Er. Hmm. I’ve never taught knives in a classroom setting before, so I’m a little wary of how the class will go. On the other hand, before the class I intend to drag our asses out to the Aroma Festival in The Rocks, so at least I shall arrive at Über sated on chocolate, coffee, spices, and cobblestone street ambiance.

Huh. This blog is turning into (shock and awe) a blog. Snippets of my day and all. I remain ambivalent to this progression. Zoos, peacocks, cable cars, chocolate and cobblestones are not such stuff as kink is made on.

Wait, what am I saying? Of course they are.

    Holy Hannah! I knew I had gotten behind in reading my favorite blogs, but who knew you would turn into a writing terror (in a *good* way) while my attention was turned.

    I like the whole blogging blog thing, dontcha know, but then of course I’ll post about a jar of oatmeal in my pantry or just about anything, won’t I? ;)

    You must, please pretty please pretty please, give May a birthday hug for me. Will you please? It’s just too far for me to deliver on my own.

    Now. I have some reading to do!

    hugs,E

    Kink is part of life. Nothing wrong with putting it in some context with everything else that makes up one’s universe.

    I’ve got a suspicion you’ll do just fine with the knife class, have fun with it. Also, May and my girlfriend have the same birthday.

    Boston Boy -
    It went fine. I had some criticisms and some good points. If I work on it a bit more I think it could be really good, but I didn’t manage to fine-tune it, and that frustrated me. Ah well.
