baptism

when my youngest brother diego turned 11, it was decided that he would be baptized. i had been baptized when i was 3, my other brother louie when he was 4, and it seemed that diego would be spared because he had lived through his single digit birthdays without incident. my mother had gone through a period of dubiety where she stopped believing in god; my guess is she didn't trust or understand a god who would allow her daughter to be a promiscuous pothead when she paid several thousand a year in tuition for a good catholic education. on the morning of his baptism, diego decided to shave for the first time. inexperienced as he was, he dragged the razor horizontally across his upper lip and nicked himself. he said when they sprinkled the holy water across his face, it burned.

naturally, this designer isn't sold at any US retailer and is so ungodly pricey. LOVE the cat face pockets!

late in the game

we went to summerfest yesterday and i finally saw of montreal live. it's not that i'd never had the chance to before, i just never wanted to. i never got into them in high school and the people i knew that liked them were really lame so i naturally never looked into them. but this isn't about their music. all i have to say, really, is that kevin barnes is quite possibly the sexiest man i've ever seen. not the best looking guy, not the hottest guy, just literally the SEXIEST. my crotch feels tingly when i look at him. it's like the way i felt about dr. frank n furter from rocky horror.

a compliment

jason said we have the same body; that's what's up.
