| Surviving the week from hell | |
| by Rajkhet Dirzhud-Rashid -
SGN A&E Writer First, did any of you know that Brent Spiner, aka Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, was a villain in a very, very bad film called The Master of Disguise? Well, neither did I, until watching the tube last Sunday, I happened to catch it after making it home from a friend/client's. Oh, and honey, the ride from her place in Federal Way to The Digs was some kinda weird. From the busload of stinky, disreputable, creepy guys (although a certain young Russian who kept apologizing for his lack of command over English did keep me entertained with airline stories on that same ride) to the drama I almost walked into at 4th and Pike, where two guys were beating the crap out of each other - one with a backpack, the other armed with a garbage can lid. The piece de resistance - and reason I opted for a taxi instead of waiting for the #84 - was the very determined guy who, though being honked at over and over by outraged drivers, still plowed down not one but two one-way streets (6th, then Pike) and was last seen zipping around the corner of 5th and Pike with a most resolute look on his face. Hey, SPD, you might not want to abandon downtown after the tourists leave, eh? A femme on her way home from a trying day (hey, it isn't often things are so bad, this one cries on a public bus) could lose her life, and that would be terrible, just terrible. Even though, yes, this one was having thoughts of swan dives off tall buildings during the recently passed "week from hell," and sobbing her eyes out in a little ball on the floor of The Digs, after not hearing from "new army sweetie" on the appointed arrival-back-from-the-war time. In spite of e-mail after e-mail, still no word, and this one has pretty much given up hope on that one being this month's "prince of tides." Ah, soldiers and how they disappear from this one's life (there are three now), it makes the heart sad. One can only hope my Craigslist ad (which I put on out of pure, bored desperation last weekend) has some sort of mojo to break the spell of bad love luck this one has been having lately. Oh, yes, and let me not forget the little bit of wickedness the IRS in their "infinite wisdom" threw in by taking this one's economic stimulus check and giving it those evil goons at the Department of Education for a 30-year-old student loan. So, no cool, new shoes, or shopping trip to Sephora for moi. Damn you, DOEdu. Damn you! But, much props to the divine Que, who has been getting me through this awful time with a listening ear and auricular therapy, and to a few folks at my Bartell who let me have a few pills of my prescription when DSHS kicked me to the curb, making me scramble to keep my meds, and thus retain some bit of sanity under these evil, evil stars. So, what besides all of this misery and drama - and checking out a few cute grrlz on Metro of late - has this one been up to, and what have I tried and loved that I want to share with you right now? Well, I cannot rave enough about Wet n Wild's MegaGlow Illuminating Powder (especially with Pride coming up, and some of you wanting to look like there's been more sun than there has been of late). Makes you look like you've been to Southern Cal, or south of the border, and all glowy. And it isn't expensive, either. Pick this and other yummy things, like my fave turquoise liquid liner from Wet n Wild, at Bartell. Also, do try Natura Bisse's Diamond Extreme Anti-aging Bio-regenerative Extreme Cream for La Face. Use it day and night, and honey, you will look amazing and people will say, like they said to this one, "honey, you look fabulous." Oh, and you can get Natura Bisse Extreme Diamond extreme cream at Barney's New York, downtown, home of "those shoes." The one this one will continue to drool over, now that my economic stimulus check is with the Department of Education. Also, for the big Pride Day Parade and festival, if you want your eyes to look gawgeous, do try Max Factor's Vivid Impact mascara. It comes in three dual colors, with an undercoat and highlighting coat in one wand. True, you might have to bend your pc-ness a bit to buy it, because I've only been able to find it at Walmart. Still, it is so worth it, dahlings, trust me. It even made these sad eyes look good the other day. So, that's about it for now, except to say, yay, yay, yay, that Obama won the nomination away from that beotch Hillary. Now I can hold my head up and stare back at certain folks who have had to realize that it's our turn, and it's time to put more color on certain commercials where we were the "loser" if there was something tasty or delightful to be had. Beotches, get ready to shake off those hundred and hundred of years of slavery attitudes and open thy minds. It is so time, my sweet cherries, so time! With that, I have to say a sad adieu to Black Pride, who this one unfortunately did not attend over the past years, but celebrated them being there anyway. I'll miss you, all of you, and your efforts to give this too-bland city a taste of color and culture. Viva. And do check out my commentary in this same issue. Finally, to my "missing" soljahs: babies, why, why, why? And I do so hope you find your way back to this one's arms and some peace. For now, thassit, buhbye! |
