Sunday art and stalkers

[cabenson]

Mrs. CB and I just returned home from our annual trek to the Columbus Arts Festival. This is the first time in the six years we have been together that I was a)not bitchy, b) able to walk comfortably, and c) did not get a migraine from the heat. In fact, we had a cool rain fall that dropped the temp down to 57 degrees F. And me in just my tee and boy-shorts.

As we arrived at the fest, we immediately headed for one of the gourmet food kiosks. I waited for Mrs. CB to eat her seafood wrap-far enough away from me so I couldn't smell it-and as I waited I caught sight of Crazy Stalker Girl. She's not really a "stalker" but one of those theater groupies that always attends the gay/feminist/artsy shows. Alone. And talks to herself.

We first encountered CSG back in 2000 when Mrs. CB was performing in a local gay theater show. CSG was seated at my table on opening night and after finding out that I not only knew all of the cast, but was actually involved with one of them, proceeded to attend EVERY single performance and followed the cast to whatever bar was designated as the post-show partyhaus. She just wanted to hang with the theater people which is cool, but she was so aggressive in her attempts to make friends, that we gave her an appropriate nickname.

So, we see her today at the art festival and walk by rather quickly, quietly whispering the following:

Me: There's your stalker again.I hope she doesn't see that display of decorative knives.
Mrs. CB: I just wonder which one of us she wants to kill so she can be with the other.
Me: Probably me-she goes to all of your performances, she must want a star.
Mrs. CB: Yeah, but she probably sees you in the audience and wants to kill me to get you.
Me: Yeah? Well, I quess I could work that to my advantage...
Mrs. CB: Yeah, just mention that I'm over-insured.
Me: I think I will :evil grin:

I should mention that CSG makes homely look attractive. I'm pretty sure it's the tube socks with dress pants and dress shoes...

We did pick up some cool art. Mrs. CB got a pair of Wonder Woman bottle cap earrings and a very cool multi-colored, buckleless leather belt. We also picked out a hauntingly stunning photo of a black cat on train tracks leading to the gates of Auschwitz. My hope is that as we pass this photo down to the nieces and nephews, we will encourage their generation to remember what happened there as well as what has happened around the world since then.

Next Sunday, Mrs. CB leaves for 5 days to attend a seminar out of state. Whatever will I do with myself? Anyway, I'll have the castle to myself next week and all of my little minions kitties will be giving me their love and devotion. Of course this mean I will be responsible for maintaining their litter boxes. Anyone know of a hooker service that cleans house as well? I do have two new series to watch...Dead Like Me and Profit, both of which have guest appearances by Teryl Rothery. She actually plays a lesbian in Profit. And there are also the first two seasons of Babylon 5 - someone should probably call me and remind me to eat something other than nachos while Mrs. CB is gone. And to go to work.

Hey I'd call you but I remember that I do scare you. So I think, does CB think that I am a stalker? Well, I ponder this ..........tap, tap, tap,....I suppose that if I had half a mind that it would be possible but we all know that we use only about 9% of our brains. Me ,running at full capacity, both hemisphere's churning up the cobwebs up there, I wouldn't get past the thalamus. Rest assured, I'd never reach the limbic system that your CSG lives in.
I'd send you hooker/cleaner/pet sitter but I can't let The Wife know that I know about these things. Plus, she'd look like Peta Wilson, not the Terry Rothery or Simone Labib type that you fancy.

Please don't enable her. If she doesn't have to scoop poop, she'll end up eating dinner every night at Hooters.

Well, at least she would be eating. Maybe I could get her a Hooters gift card for the week that I am gone? Nah, she'll just forget where it is.

Jesus woman! You lose 4 gift cards (there in this house SOMEWHERE!!) and you are labeled for life ;) Of course I'd NEVER lose a Hooter's goft card. I'd keep it safe and warm in my-

Just call the codependents to order. I sit in the front row. "My name is Ragin'; and I am an Enabler.
Hooters ???You got her a gift card? Now who's the enabler?

Dead Like Me! Aw, I really like(d) that show.

And nachos are a fine meal. Grain? check. Dairy? check. Veggies? check (jalapenos count, dammit). Protein? check. Oh, unless you have sad cheese-only nachos. In which case you should totally get pizza. Keep up your strength, dahling.

Thank you for the nacho support! She just doesn't get it ;) And I am anxious to watch DLM, but I think my gal may want to watch it as well, so it's going to the end of the list :(
