We very much enjoyed having Kris Madison and company over this weekend, including her pug:

We indulged in the finest pizza, quiche and naughty treats from McDonalds, played birthday games, saw Coraline (delightful), talked sex, introduced Kris to Deep Space Nine, and didn’t get QUITE enough sleep (WELL worth it).

I also got enough work done that I feel carpal-tunnel-syndromey in my right wrist, but not enough done that I’m not panicking right now since tomorrow we’ve got chat and shows lined up for members to celebrate my birthday and St. Patrick’s Day and I’m still trying to finish a members-only update and eleven promotional galleries I meant to send to affiliates way BEFORE St. Pat’s.

My show tomorrow (the 17th) is at 4 pm (PACIFIC TIME), Delia’s is at 6, and my members-only birthday chat is from 7 to 8:30. If you can’t make that one, there’s another one on Saturday from 4 to 5:30 to possibly draw/determine the winners of the make-me-blonde thing (which, after last week’s terrifyingly low sales (a subject for another blog entry), will be the only way I can afford to make that shiny transition. There is hope for you yet, redhead and brunette lovers!

We lost power at our house for a couple of seconds today because of the wind; it almost seems freakier when the sun’s out and it’s blowing than if the skies were dark and ominous. Blue skies + windstorms = the pink goth of weather.

Though we live northwest of/near Seattle, the weather is totally different here with a lot less rain. We’re lucky to have big windows facing south so in January and February we can sunbathe naked. Inside, unless you have fur:

I took these pictures in our backyard after going to the store where the power was out. According to the locals I heard talking, part of town was out of electricity because a transformer blew, a tree fell/knocked down lines, AND someone crashed a car into a pole. Our wind is a force to be reckoned with!

Next month we’re planning to spend some time shooting closer to my hometown, in the area where (some of) Twin Peaks was filmed. I really wanted to commission someone to sew a waitress costume to mimic the ones they wore at the diner in the series, but I messed up the specs on the auction I created and didn’t want to pay for something four months in advance of a time that would be too late for the look/time of year I wanted. Maybe next year. For now we’ll try to capture a little of the vibe/local color without being crazily ambitious. Someday I would love to have the resources to get a bunch of our friends and fellow-Peaks-fans together for a couple of weeks to shoot some tribute porn. Someday.

I’ve never been a big fan of snow, but now that I work at home it’s growing on me since I don’t have to drive in it. Living in the Seattle area we don’t get a lot of snow so it’s always cause for excitement around here. It doesn’t usually last long, either, so I’m really happy we had a chance to go out and shoot in it.

The window of opportunity for snowy, seasonal pics is actually still open; it’s been snowing most of today. Here’s a shot of our dog from one of our spycams a few hours ago:

Anyway, the rest of the photos are up for my members and we’ve got two outdoor spycams running today; we’re going to walk downtown through the snow now to run some errands.

We’re home from our three night beach trek and had a lovely time, even if we didn’t get to see the meteor shower because we had almost continuous grey skies.

I’m not complaining about the greyness — it was super relaxing with the white noise of the ocean paired with the visual fog.

Here’s what we did: drove, ate mostly junk food, WALKED AND WALKED AND WALKED (to the point where our poor old dog was even tired out), shot a few sets of nudey pics, shot photos recreationally, “swam” (more like played in the water like kids letting the waves crash into us) and had a blast last night at the campground roasting hot dogs and marshmallows.

Here’s what I did not do: sleep well.

All in all it was splendid.

Now? I’m pretty tired, but excited to be blogging in bed with MY NEW LAPTOP! I’m going to have to get Zone Alarm (or some other security software: recs anyone?) before I take it places away from home, but I’m super happy to finally have a machine I can blog and write on that’s not a dinosaur or hooked up to cams (though it does have the built-in cam I still need to add/subtract a lot of software and stuff to this machine before I log it in anywhere). Anyway, it’s romantic to finally have a laptop that I can use the way other people use theirs. I doubt you’ll see me haunting coffee shops on a regular basis, but I like knowing I *could* quickly pack up and do some work or even hold chat sessions elsewhere for a change of pace.

I love the smell of new electronic gadgetry. Mmmmmm . . .

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.

If you want a sense of what my days have been like lately, check here.

When I woke up in the middle of the night to pee, I looked for our dog, Nico, before I stepped out of bed; she likes to sleep sprawled out RIGHT NEXT TO ME on the floor so between her and my nightstand, I have to perform circus tricks to get out of bed without stepping on her.

All that was on the floor in Nico’s usual spot was a pillow and a blanket that had fallen off me. Then, because I’m a dipshit, I felt I needed to go looking for her in her dog bed; she wasn’t there either. I found her at the foot of the bed, lying very still (the way most living creatures do in the middle of the night).

I don’t know when it started, but I’ve developed an irrational need to make sure people and dogs are still breathing in the middle of the night. I think I started doing it when Delia was still drinking and then it got worse when my nephew was born. Or maybe it was all those years of my dad being sick and watching him die; seeing how easy it could be to just stop breathing without anyone noticing. Also, Nico is getting old; I think she’s fourteen now. Anyway, I feel compelled to pop out my earplugs and hover to see if the object of my concern is still breathing, getting close to look for a rising and falling chest or the soft sound of exhalations. My loved ones are apt to wake up to my face in theirs, inquiring once I’ve woken them up, “are you alive?” Duh. Are you crazy?

It was hard to see last night, so I put my hand on Nico’s chest. She didn’t flinch or move even a tiny bit. Her thick fur felt cool under my hand. I couldn’t feel ANY movement and feared she wasn’t breathing so I rubbed her a little. NO RESPONSE. It was like she’d been dead for an hour or two! Then her hind legs relaxed a little bit, but I thought it was just because she wasn’t stiff yet and I’d moved her.

I woke Delia up by shrieking, “honey I think Nico’s dead!”

Delia woke up and crawled to the end of the bed as I told her I couldn’t feel her breathing and she wasn’t moving. She gently put her hand on Nico’s chest and belly, too and couldn’t feel anything so she sharply said, “NICO!” and snapped her fingers.

Nico came back to life, then. It was like magic. She lifted her head and shifted her body to a “should I get up now?” position. Delia flopped back to sleep, I went pee, and when I got back from the bathroom I still couldn’t believe Nico hadn’t been dead. I felt like she came back to life just because we love her. She was standing at the foot of the bed looking at me; instead of going back to sleep right away, I held out my hand to her so she would come to me and I stayed awake petting her until she settled down to sleep by me. Her body is so little under all of that fur.

You would think I could stop myself from doing these breath-tests by reminding myself I’m being crazy. No one is going to just die in their sleep, at least not anyone who was perfectly healthy the night before. But I don’t really believe that so the only way I can stop myself is to tell myself if they’re dead, what can you do about it? Just go to sleep and take care of it in the morning. I’m not kidding. That’s the only line of reasoning that sometimes works on my three am head. But mostly I figure there’s no harm in checking so I do. But there IS harm, when I imagine someone’s dead even when they’re alive and make my heart start pounding and wake up other people to verify. It’s embarrassing and weird.

I cannot sleep in the same room as our nephew anymore because I just stay awake listening to him breathing. If I manage to fall asleep, I still keep waking up with compulsions to listen and check. He’s not a tiny baby anymore so the crib death thing isn’t really an issue, I’m just painfully aware of his mortality. His and mine and everyone’s, I guess.

I feel like winter is over.

Whenever my sister’s dog (a border collie) comes over, he always pops our dog’s inflatable round things with his long teeth. Here’s one of the punctured holiday remnants now wilting in the sun.

I have so much blogging I want to do, but instead of writing about anything important I’ve been soothing myself with trivia. Here are some entries I’ve made on other blogs that you may have missed:

Bad Cramps

Babes with (anal) Beads

A few posts on Trixie Blows

And of course, the always mundane Daily Trixie.

More tomorrow?

Because I’m always raving about the beautiful light and view we have, here is PART of our view of the Olympics:

We were hoping to shoot photos inside using exactly that southern light today, but it was actually all wrong and coming in at the wrong angle so my legs would have been in blaring bright light while my body and face would have been shadowed. We’re going to wait and shoot with artificial light when the sun goes down. I wish our yard were as private as it looks in these photos, because we’d totally be shooting our asses off outside (snow on the “mountains” would be a great titty gallery):

When we had to scrap our daytime indoor shoot plans, we backed up to trying to go somewhere to shoot outside, but I had to scrap that plan, too; every outfit I tried on that included practical shoes (because it’s icy outside even though the snow’s almost all melted away) made me look like a bloated marshmallow. So we’re just waiting to utilize the one tidy area we have in our house this evening and I am doing other work until the sun goes down. If our house were crystal clean we’d have more options, but ummmm . . . it’s not. We’ll have to work on that tomorrow or something.

Just a quick post with pictures of our dog, Nic0, in the snow this morning, and a heads-up that we have a chat session scheduled with members tonight at 7 pm (Pacific; 10 pm Eastern) in our members-only chatroom.

Playing with her Dora ball:

Delia did have a show scheduled tonight (and last night) but both had to be canceled due to my cycle’s unpredictability/us still trying to get pregnant, so she wanted to do a members-only chat session instead (which I am looking forward to).

The top things on my agenda for today are getting some exercise, then getting pretty and shooting some photos for members. I would also dearly love to do some more blogging, but I don’t know if there will be time for that. Getting ready and doing our shoots could take up the majority of the day.
