A confession: I don't know how to date. In part, I have to blame this on being a lesbian. Lesbians don't really date. We meet someone at a club, dancing, bodies sweaty, pheromones raging, bass pounding in our ears and chests and fingers. We go home with her, and if the sex is at all reasonable and she has enough of the right books and CDs on her shelves, we quietly arrange for enough of our stuff to be brought over that we don't really need to return to our own apartments, except maybe to feed the cat, at least until the lease is up.

Okay, that's both inaccurate and unfair.

Except that it's still true on some fundamental level.

And it's equally true that I don't know how to date.

Today everything Toronto came into sharp focus when I was trying to head to the library to get some things done. My way was breifly and delightfully interrupted by the St. Patrick's day parade. There, after the ambulances, shriners and irish dance schools, in between the local associations of County Donegal and County Armagh was the Philippine Heritage Marching Band, playing Ricky Martin.

They're running a documentary series about the "greatest tank battles".

Some of the old WW2 tank guys they interviewed were describing the way you can see incoming shells skimming over the ground, getting bigger and bigger...

I've been lazy about shaving. Teh Wife said she could use a good ol' fashioned safety razor. I figured that I should get one, too, since the electric one I have is crappy, painful, and unwieldy.

I know this is an old topic and perhaps I am late to the party in expressing an opinion.  But in some ways it has taken me a long time to crystallize how I feel.

I'm talking about torture, government sponsored/inflicted torture.

Mostly a continuation of the last diary...but also a rant about Obama and healthcare (but perhaps not what you'd expect).
