Today we felt totally frisky, DR took this picture in the locker room at the gym early this morning, such rebels.
That’s right, two mornings in a row now. DR has a goal for losing a certain amount of weight before a certain date, and that’s all the kick in the ass I need to do the same.

Late last night, I finished the latest David Sedaris book When You Are Engulfed In Flames and I must admit that it is my favourite to date…

I remember reading Me Talk Pretty One Day and really laughing hard, thinking he couldn’t top himself, but I find with Flames he’s really done it, he comes off as a much more charming man this time around and whose life is still full of “crazy”. In fact here’s an excerpt so you can run and buy your own copy:

After visiting a medical examiner’s office 10 years ago, David’s list of “don’ts” grew to cover 3 pages and included such reminders as: never fall asleep in a Dumpster, never underestimate a bee, never drive a convertible behind a flatbed truck, never get old, never get drunk near a train, and never, under any circumstances, cut off your air supply while masturbating. This last one is a nationwide epidemic, and it’s surprising the number of men who do it while dressed in their wife’s clothing, most often while she is out of town. To anyone with similar inclinations, a word of warning: after you’re discovered, the police will take snapshots of your dead, costumed body, which will then be slid into photo albums and pored over by people like me, who can’t take the stench of an incoming decomp, so hole themselves up in the records room, moaning, “Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God,” not sure if they’re referring to your plum-colored face or to the squash blossom necklace you’ve chosen to go with that blouse.

C’mon, that’s some funny stuff…

Mr. Sedaris is also coming to Toronto this week, DR and I, both being fans, will line up to meet with him.

By the way, didn’t I totally call the two Marias to go home last night??? On other Maria news, DR and I have been confirmed for the taping of the July 21 result show… awesome!
