Man, I’ve been a bad bad blogger the past few weeks. I’ve been rather depressed, and rather busy, trying to find a job so I can, you know, keep my apartment and stuff. Not knowing when a job will show up or money will come in fucking blows, and sort of distracts me from sex, and writing.

Yesterday, I called nearly all the temp agencies in NYC. Today, I call the rest of them. Oye.

What I really need this weekend is a long hot ride between the sheets. Srsly.

In good news, my best friend and I have started a blog together to help us get healthy and lose some weight, get back in shape. Its been a rough time for both of us – both of us have been out of work and stressed, she just moved in with her boyfriend…and then they broke up. So we started this all just in time! At the moment, its a private blog, but we may eventually open it up. Maybe.

Wisconsin Law Bans Sex With Dead Bodies – Associated Press

“Police say the three men, carrying shovels, a crowbar and a box of condoms, went to a cemetery in southwestern Wisconsin in 2006 to dig up the body of Laura Tennessen, 20, who had been killed the week before in a motorcycle crash.

Nicholas Grunke had seen an obituary photo of her and asked the others for help digging up her corpse so he could have sexual intercourse with it, prosecutors say.”

Well…obviously they were good friends? But seriously, as someone who has worked with the dead, let me tell you, grave robbing is hard work, and you need to do your home work. These tools didn’t even realize the body was buried in a vault. You can’t just go prying a vault open with a crowbar, you know? They are really big and heavy. Its also really hard to open a casket with out a casket key. An FYI to would be necrophiles: if you can get a hold of one of the longer casket keys, they can be used to raise and lower either ends of the casket, for positioning. Do you home work you fucking pervs.

Ex-diplomat: Sex with teens ok in foreign cultures – The Associated Press

“An ex-diplomat convicted of having sex with teenage girls in the Congo and Brazil and taping the encounters is asking a judge for leniency, claiming that cultural differences in those countries make sex with girls more acceptable.”

In a letter Nachman wrote from jail to the director of the Foreign Service pleading with him to intervene and get the charges dropped, Nachman explained the cultural differences as he sees them.

“In the Congo, women develop quickly, both physically and emotionally, due to the substantial responsibility society places on them from early childhood,” Nachman wrote. “In Kinshasa, the vast majority of teenagers are sexually active with men that are substantially older. … Their main concern is marrying young girls to men with financial stability, a concern dating thousands of years and cutting across cultural lines.”

YEAH, RIGHT, BUT THAT STILL DOESN’T MAKE IT OK FOR YOU TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM! “WHEN IN ROME” NO LONGER APPLIES, BECAUSE NO ONE WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DON’T DO AS ROMANS DO YOU STUPID TWAT!

An Old Sound In Harlem Draws New Neighbors’ Ire – New York Times

It is Saturday evening, the second day of summer, and the air around Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem is filled with the scent of blossoming linden trees and the sound of West African drums.

Across the street from the park is 2002 Fifth Avenue, a new seven-story cream and red brick luxury co-op with a doorman, $1 million apartments and a lobby with a fireplace.

The drummers in the park are African-American and from Africa and the Caribbean. They form a circle and have played in the park, in one form or another, since 1969, when the neighborhood was a more dangerous place. The musicians, who play until 10 p.m. every summer Saturday, are widely credited with helping to make the park safer over the years.”

I don’t have any snark for this article. Sadly, rather than being an awesome story about drummers, it becomes a huge fight between the drummer and the Co-op tenants, one of who sent around a very nasty letter about how to ‘deal’ with the drummers.
