fergie's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 10-year Leather Anniversary The 10-year Leather Anniversary When selecting a gift, I like to consider the most appropriate item for the recipient. It�s part of my benignant nature. With the WeHo Crew in mind, a red leather blindfold and a pair of deluxe handcuffs seemed to be the best suited purchase for a long-term homosexual couple celebrating their 10-year anniversary. Sure beats traditional tin or aluminum. With the weekend registering as a general blur, I really wasn�t concerned about cleaning up the place in its current state of disaster. Why bother? Low and behold, the discarded packaging -- which was lying out in plain view on my bathroom counter -- was quickly discovered by the building maintenance crew as they continued to do work on my apartment without prior 24-hour notice. Now that they know I�m kinky, I�m getting all sorts of sly little smiles. One of the constructions guys is really hot. Maybe I�ll tie him up when I get home. 9:36 a.m. - May. 04, 2006 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- headlines HEADLINES Today is a pretty slow news day in the entertainment world. Since I don�t have any celebs to poke fun of at work, I thought I�d make pointed comments about some other interesting headlines in the news today.

In case you�ve been living under a rock, in which case reading this post via internet connection is unlikely, you�re perfectly aware of the Day Without Immigrants walkout/march goings on happening across the U.S. today. Anyway, I guess part of the deal is to demonstrate what the workforce would be like without immigrants doing their usual stuff. Since I work for a large entertainment studio that has suffered every type of lawsuit imaginable (as has every other major studio in Hollywood) � we don�t mess with illegal workers. That�s right! Shocking as it may seem, we�re a completely legitimate business. Curious, a co-worker wondered aloud if the immigrant strike would impact our morning bagel delivery. I found this hilarious because 1) -- an office without their morning coffee and bagels would actually bring production to a crashing halt. 2) -- everyone on the lot has a security badge and belongs to a union, since the union didn�t organize or approve the walk out if you don�t come to work you get fired. 3) -- the bagels are delivered by a little Asian girl who�s a natural born citizen and her family linage is documented, as is mine, as is everyone else I know. Some people are capable of following the rules and have nothing to get pissed off about. 4) -- demonstrations start at noon. The only impact on our work day will be a multitude of traffic advisories regarding the drive home. I�m all for taking a rational approach to immigrant reform. It�s a highly complicated issue, but quite simply, something must be done. What, I really don�t know. I don�t think anyone does. I�m just not sure why this couldn�t have been coordinated over the weekend. Taking the day off work/school seems to defeat the image of hardworking illegal aliens, turning it into one more befitting spoiled, crybaby Americans with a sense of entitlement. On the other hand, it�s nice to see they�ve properly assimilated. 9:18 a.m. - May. 01, 2006 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
