World Sunlight Map
Rather than go another day without blogging, I’ll share something SUPER COOL that I ran across today: the World Sunlight Map.
It’s so incredibly beautiful to me, this refreshable ilustration of Earth with her cloud cover and shadow over the places where it’s dark. It’s deeply appealing to the voyeur in me, gazing at places where I know we have friends and fans, imagining myself hovering so far away and somehow imagining I can zoom down and know something close about them because I can see whether they are in light or night. I think it’s the shadowy parts that make it feel like there’s some entity out there, even if that entity is just space, potential and a different perspective, and that I’m part of it. It turns the whole concept of “He’s Got the Whole World (in His Hands)” inside out so I feel like we’re offered a vantage point of holding the whole thing in our OWN hands, tiny and precious. So vulnerable to and dependent on light and dark. We’re all in there; it’s wacky and thrilling.
It’s like doing a God role play with omniscience being the ultimate form of voyeurism. As such, I added the World Sunlight Map to a new page for our spycam fans that also includes webcam shots of roads, bridges and ferries that we travel and links to our town’s webcams. I’m guessing a few people will enjoy them even if none of these features are explicitly pornographic. They’re all things *I* enjoy VERY much that give me a strangely different vantage point on my own life and position. My perception of NOW is different looking at that dark wave blanketing my country. It makes me appreciate how temporary the night is, and how I should make full use of it and the daylight because they pass so quickly. You can see each one as it approaches. It’s a slowly moving picture of the passage of time and each of us invisibly under it.
Chat Week
NEW PLAN. For one week a month I’ll be in HYPERCHAT mode. Coming up the first week of June I have multiple sessions of the old favorite News FLASH! scheduled and various chats at different times of day throughout the week. My goal is to spend about fifteen to twenty hours ten to fifteen hours in members-only chat and/or being generally more “entertaining” on the cams. I won’t be scheduling all of those hours, some will be impromptu, but the point is to have a block of five to seven days each month when members will have a good chance to interact with me no matter what timezone they are in.

Note: chat sessions are NOT “shows”, they are for CHAT ONLY. I do not take requests or suggestions unless I say so (in News FLASH!, for example) or I am logged in for PRIVATE shows with a viewer paying me by the minute.

I’m really looking forward to this new plan and think it will allow me the freedom I need during the rest of the month to work uninterrupted (without distractions or guilt) on projects that require my concentration for hours at a stretch with the freedom for me to drop everything else when inspiration strikes BUT will still allow me enough focused time to make hanging out with our members a priority.
Balancing different kinds of work is always a challenge for me, and often a fun challenge; it’s always exhilarating to make new plans, tighten up routines, and approach what I’ve been doing for years in a slightly different way. I like letting the spycams be SPYcams, but I also miss spending time getting to know our members and feeling like I’m being at least a little entertaining and accessible. I think allowing myself a hyperchat week each month will be a nice change of pace without ruining other aspects of my work productivity. And of course I think members will like it, too.
Evening Thanksgiving
Things that made my life happy today and tonight:
*a night of good sleep followed by a breakfast of cookies and tea
*putting a fresh, soft, wet, smooth pair of new contacts in my eyes
*listening to new age music (thank you Audio Visions) and stretching/rolling around in the dark. Balance balls are a fucking awesome invention!
*watching the episode of Northern Exposure where Satan comes to town in the form of a jacuzzi salesman with a pet goat
All of that makes me feel like I live in the lap of luxury.
Here’s what I was working on last night and today: web-whore.com. It’s not totally finished, but it needed to be done. Last night I just happened to be in the mood to doodle around with design ideas and was just playing with pretty colors and fonts (always fun, especially if you don’t *have* to do it). After playing and closing out about 25 files/ideas for other sites, I returned to basic black, white and red and started on that, which leads me to another thing I’m thankful for: being able to fuck around and sometimes have it turn into something useful. I know it’s nothing fancy, but you’d be surprised how hard it is (for me, anyway) to make something simple.
Also thankful for all my nice friends on twitter who gave me good/nice feedback on it. I like warm fuzzies and it really does help to get outside affirmation.
I’m ready for bed and a good bedtime book now.
Heading Out
We’re getting ready to head out this afternoon/evening and not come home until Sunday; we’ll be at a local transgender conference where we’re slotted to be on a panel tomorrow talking about issues couples have. Other than that, we just plan to have fun. I’m looking forward to spending time away from home/work, socializing, and eating out. We haven’t eaten out in a whole entire month so it will be a treat.
Members/voyeurs: some or all of our cams could go down while we’re gone but if our laptop cooperates we will have a cam up in our hotel room (though I don’t expect we’ll be spending much time in there unless my period starts and I’m in cramp-riddled agony). At this moment I’m trying to finish uploading some video for you; if all goes well I’ll get it posted before we leave. It’s not hardcore, but it’s entertaining (if you are entertained by the same oddball things I am).
May
I’m in a funk right now, mostly owing to PMS. The weather has been a bit gloomy; even when it’s sunny out there’s a shadow of oppressive darkness hanging around. See how it’s crushing our dog? Tiny purple weed flowers growing close to the ground. You don’t even feel like stretching.

Here’s the latest on not being pregnant and what we’re doing about it.

How about some movie-talk? We saw Iron Man. We went into it prepared for the bad aspects; it was a ridiculous blockbuster MOVIE-movie, and we needed that for the mindless entertainment factor. I loved the metal King Kong and the flying-against-the-fighter-jets scenes. It was nowhere near a V for Vendetta type of flick, but it’s still special to see a big movie in the theater with a lefty storyline. One annoying detail sticks out in my mind above all others: armpits. Was it my imagination, or were his armpits shaved after supposed months in captivity? If so, gross. That’s the epitome of a fucked-up dose of contemporary unreality.
I definitely think we should all thank our lucky stars Robert Downey Jr. got the title role instead of Cage or Cruise. He’s been wank material for me since I was a teen watching Less Than Zero when James Spader made him get on his knees and suck some cock to pay for drugs. I so wish that scene was hardcore or even just a minute longer (since it wasn’t I relied heavily upon the straight scenes for “inspiration”). I loved Secretary and all, but I’d really rather have seen a long redux of that interrupted BJ scene. Maybe this time it could have been Jake instead of Maggie joining RDJ to perform sweaty, tear-stained head on some large coked-up stallion. Robert, you STILL have the most lickable, greasy eyelids in film. And I will never forget the way you told us you were getting “chubby” in Shortcuts.

Idol: Pimping the Kids for All They're Worth
I almost decided to boycott American Idol last night. The only time I’ve been so disgusted with a television show that I refused to watch it was in response to the Wayne’s World skit on Saturday Night Live when they made fun of Chelsea Clinton when she was just a tween.
I know my refusal to watch something on television doesn’t lead to positive change, but I reached my boiling point last night with Idol’s continued sickening encouragement to viewers to be crazy fucking stalkers when they not only aired that disgusting phone call from some insane woman asking David Cook for a date, but presented it in their typical irresponsible, cutesyfied manner. I cringed watching him forced into the position where he had to act gracious and then they told her to stay on the line so they could get her contact information and make it happen.
I despise the way they display hysterical young people in the audience holding up signs with marriage proposals. The way they forced little twink angel David Archuleta to have physical contact with some random girl in the audience. The way they broadcasted some grabby freak snatching Jason and KISSING him; I’m sorry, that’s not funny or cute — it’s assault. Presenting it as something charming, desirable, laughable, and/or welcome is sickeningly irresponsible especially when you know you have an audience of deluded young people. No wonder you find horrible people writing shit like this:
The first question of the evening was for David Cook, who was oh-so-busy wearing a smug expression. The caller entreated Cook to take her on a date, and because he thinks he’s a huge rock star he didn’t ever actually agree. It’s the woman’s birthday, jerk! And to that lady – sweets, you can do better.
Yeah. You must really have an inflated sense of self to not want to go out with a total fucking stranger who’s developed an insanely shameless crush on you. Don’t you know you owe all the women in the world a date on their birthdays and if you deny them you must be a pompous shitstain? FYI: the first celebrity stalker was a young woman. Oh giggle, titter, hahaha. It’s all very cute and harmless until someone gets shot in the chest.
I’m also always left freaked out by the coverage of celebrity stalker cases like the recent crimes against Uma Thurman; they always seem to treat it less-than seriously, like it’s all just a gossipy fun little personal tidbit to shove in the entertainment section, not a real crime exposing a peculiarly modern outlet for sickness. We’re taught that celebrities have forfeited their humanity, privacy and personal time for fame and money; THEY BELONG TO *US*! They owe us!! Who do they think they are to reject us? Some people might perceive media coverage of this shit as “objective”, but given how UNobjective, how obviously biased they are, in covering other stories their lack of overt concern or judgment in discussing celebrity stalkers feels like a chilling omission. Celebrities are presented as products we’re never encouraged to empathize with. One of the few times the public is encouraged to sympathize with the severely mentally ill is when they target celebrities for abuse. What do the stars expect? They *asked* for people to love them, hahaha! Adding insult to injury, the stalkers are practically rewarded by getting to enjoy courtroom meetings with their victims. How fucking nasty is that?
My angry reaction to Idol last night might have been partially fueled by this nugget of sickening anti-pornography legislation from some asswipe congressman claiming he’s “committed to protecting the constitutional rights of every American”:
. . . designed to stem the sale of pornography on military installations. Broun’s legislation, the “Military Honor and Decency Act,” closes a loophole in current law that is allowing the sale of sexually explicit material on American military installations located both within the United States and around the world . . . . “Allowing the sale of pornography on military bases has harmed military men and women by: escalating the number of violent, sexual crimes; feeding a base addiction; eroding the family as the primary building block of society; and denigrating the moral standing of our troops both here and abroad. Our troops should not see their honor sullied so that the moguls behind magazines like Playboy and Penthouse can profit”.
Yeah, there’s no greater way to honor a soldier than by telling him he’s a sick dickless fuck who’s too fucking stupid and morally retarded to decide for himself what kinds of pictures he’s grown-up enough look at. And GOD FORBID those sleazy moguls should PROFIT from a war! How funny is that when both Playboy and Penthouse have been in dire financial straits for years while the defense contractors and other war profiteers make obscene amounts of money that make Hef’s and Flynt’s bank accounts look infinitesimally tiny.
I know these laws and regulations are nothing new and there’ve always been similar restrictions on the military, but lately they seem to be making it even worse, writing new laws against visiting sex workers in foreign countries, etc. It’s so contemptibly insane the way these shitheels don’t care about killing soldiers or making them kill others, but they’re really concerned about how even the tamest jack-off fodder is going to destroy their vulnerable little minds.
My brain never stops being boggled by people defining for us what is decent and what is obscene who throw celebratory parades when real atrocities are committed. And the crazy contention that sex crimes and violence never happened before mass-distributed pornography came along? What the fuck ever. When are people going to see how irrational it is to make porn the scapegoat for men’s dick-driven crimes? When are we going to be able to WEIGH indecency in a rational manner?
I feel safer knowing there are heaping loads of bukkake porn on the internet and more women every day getting paid to take gobs of cum on their eyeballs than I do in knowing that millions of children are watching American Idol which teaches them to be so distanced from reality that they could be personally rewarded for stalking someone they see on television. They’re *both* dehumanizing but one is intended for ADULTS and features people who were PAID to get cum on their faces; the other is marketed to children and histrionic adolescents who are being enculturated that it’s not only acceptable but DESIRABLE to selfishly and unrealistically harass, stalk, and violate anyone they want who’s in the public eye.
These kids sign on to be singers and American Idol turns them into their unwitting whores, pimping them out to all the deranged fanatical, hormone-riddled viewers. Give the lady a kiss, David! Isn’t that cute? Oh David, don’t worry; we’ll set up your Philadelphia date for you . . . we’ll arrange *everything*! Is it in their contracts that they should expect to be physically mauled and publicly humiliated by total strangers? David Archuleta is underage, but it’s okay for Fox to push him into the arms of “adoring” fans. God, can you imagine if it were Joe Francis instead of Ryan Seacrest doing that?
Good Reads
I detest most social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, etc.) so it’s rare that I’ll excitedly ask for friends to join one of them, but I *love* GoodReads. It’s focused, list-oriented, and all about books. I want to see what my friends and fans are reading, so definitely friend me there and/or post a link in comments to your Good Reads profile.

Annoying ad I just saw in sidebar: BELLY FAT IS NASTY.
Sigh.

Do you know how often we buy a groceries at the store to put in the food bank donation bin and forget to do so? Too often (and yet not often enough). That’s why we have twice as many cans of Hunt’s Spaghetti Sauce with sausage (flavoring) at home than we actually need. And no, we don’t just try to buy the poor people crap, THAT IS JUST REALLY GOOD SPAGHETTI SAUCE! If you don’t think so, you’re just a snob living too high on the hog. It’s both cheap AND delicious! You’re missing out if you don’t know what I’m talking about. I cannot walk by sale cans of that shit without snatching up a basketload.
On the Ball
The other day I solicited feedback from any members who *want* to see me gain weight or enjoy the weight I’ve gained. This is, of course, a dangerous thing to do since some people fetishize weight gain to an unhealthy degree and the last thing I need, I suppose, is encouragement to gain more weight. I suppose. Anyway, I did get this one fun-to-read comment (which I’ve abbreviated here):
. . . . the reason I joined first was because I thought/sensed you had the ‘frame’ to gain weight…or more accurately, the width of your hips gave you the kind of body type I love to see fill out. With that body type, the ass and thighs really expand. And so it is w/ you. . . . Big thick ass, full thighs, fuller belly, etc…when a woman can own this and really rock it, it’s just so sexy. I would LOVE to see you facesitting, that’s a natural for any woman who is gaining weight and accepts the sexual eroticism of her either large or growing ass. I would love to see you riding reverse cowgirl, so again we can see your full thick ass from behind as you ride – either a face or cock, whatever. Seeing you squat, totally sxe. I could go on and on and have wanted to voice this to you for some time….so since you offered an open invitation to us on this issue today, I’m jumping at the chance. And, yes, seeing you gain weight turns me on…knowing you have this love/hate w/ it turns me on….knowing you’re reading this and thinking how it might even have the smallest impact on your thoughts or feelings, turns me on.
Ahhhh, delightful. I only wish I *did* gain more weight in my rear; unfortunately a disproportionate amount of it goes to my belly and chins/neck. In fact, I calculated my waist-to-hip ratio here and it’s definitely over the .8 threshold. Still, my butt and thighs are definitely bigger than they used to be so that is, in many ways, a dream come true. It would be good if I did more exercise to build bigger butt muscles; I saw a marked improvement when I was going to the gym and using the elliptical on certain settings. For those of you who don’t believe I’ve gained a potentially unhealthy amount of weight or think I’m exaggerating my belly size, check this out. The balance ball picture is newest, but they all show where the bulk of my fat is stored. Note: I’m not done building that little niche site, but it will have my chubbiest pictures, some of which I’ve not posted on my main site. It’s a learning experience and therapeutic little project of mine.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback, anonymous commenter, and I hope you enjoy the latest gallery of me sitting on a big balance ball; the video will be even plumper and juicier!
