Smallhouse Log

Friday

After a few days, I've managed to tear myself away from the vicious cycle of work, sleep, Brawl, work, sleep, Brawl. Most of the viciousness came during the Brawlin', some during the work. Only once during the sleep, when Shurpak woke me up via a clawing about the face. She's so adorable. I've since managed to clean a little, do some reading, and make a fairly tasty salad (spinach with red onion, tomato, and tahina sauce). Delicious.

And my entire social calendar for this weekend took a nosedive. I missed out on the bicycle hedonism because of a flat tire, the Whuppity Scoorie party was postponed due to illness in the hostess, and the Magnetic Fields concerts were all sold out by the time I got my paycheque. All that's left is the company party on Sunday, which should be.... interesting. Oh well, I'm probably better off without all the haggis and hedonism anyway. It's not the right time of year for either, really.

I don't feel ready for Holy Week.

I, too, feel very unprepared for Holy Week.

It may be worth noting that any needs you have for hedonism can easily be taken care of on Monday essentially anywhere in the soon to be green-tinted city.

But I'm the oppressor race. And "Kiss me, I'm the oppressor race" just doesn't have that same ring to it. I know from experience that "Kiss me, I'm Episcopalian" tends to confuse some and merely bemuse others, and "Kiss me, I'm conservative" tends to evoke hostility far more that humour or, say, actual kissing.

This is why we make the second part of the statement silent. "Kiss Me! (I am the oppressor race)" can work, as can "Kiss Me! (You're at least moderately attractive and I want some kissin action!)." or you could go with "Kiss me, I'm not a hipster," or "Kiss me, I know indie music," depending on the person in question, both of which may be more apt in your neighborhood. Also - next weekend? Fun?

Technically, because St. Patrick falls during Holy Week, churches can't hold celebratory Masses and most celebrations to be held tomorrow are secular. So there really isn't a problem celebrating as "Kiss me, let's all just get kissed because today everybody's Irish." Unless you're in South Boston or Belfast, then your actions could be interpreted as "Kiss me, I'm off the oppressor church and I don't care about your damn religion." But they're really highly offended in South Boston to begin with.
