this afternoon at 5 pm my dear cat Pillow was euthanized. this spunky, orange short hair was a real sweet cat and mean only to strays, raccoons, bugs and mice. she is survived by her son Henry, another sweetie. :-)
tomorrow Pillow's remains will be cremated at Heavenly Days in Rockville after which she'll be home with us and we'll have a party in her honor. http://www.heavenlydays.com/default.aspx
please don't think i'm upset or crying like an andrew sullivan would in this situation. 17 years is a great run for a cat! :-)

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY HATE CRIME
there's a new challenge to the Hoya Saxa community. some drunkin' idiot from the rugby house on 35 street was charged with assaulting a suspected gay person on 36th and O. this incident happened off campus in the middle of the ghetto firetrap student housing cluster owned by absentee landlords who dont give a crap about anything else but over charging for their unsafe dumps. fluid story, more later.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21017658/ let's hope the media stays on this story. the lawlessness and disrespect has got to stop. this is homecoming weekend and Cornell is here.

JOAN SUTHERLAND PART 2
ok, after this clip they'll be no more Joan Sutherland for awhile. This however is a MUST. recorded live you can hear the 250 lb soprano walk down the painted pine steps. luckily for her she didn't fall through. having said that, this clip is just excellent sound and voice is crystal clear. the music is light and gay. two arias...the second aria is familiar to you.... just listen to he instrument and you'll hear one of the all time best:

this had to be posted here:

because lenny was indeed great and this blogger presents it in a taseful and totally homosexual way. :-) it's honoring a musician and just what the exhibitionist is doing, we don't know... but it adds to the lincoln center landscape.

SOON TWO NEW CHARTER SCHOOLS
fyi
under a new plan to save two small local parish schools, the archdiocese of washington is getting out of the inner urban school business and renting the facilities to a charter school. the names will be changed and the religious instruction will be eliminated. dont worry, all the trophy iconic school like gonzaga college high school, st amsles and archbishop carroll will stay in business. but little schools like our Immaculate Conception elementary school and Holy redeemer ES will become charter schools. lets face it folks, the church needs to keep it hands of at risk children

MOTORCYCLE/WHEELCHAIR COLLISION
new york avenue/north capitol
blame the motorcycle driver but we know what goes on at Big Ben and across the street at the methadone clinic. is it any wonder that tourists entering town get a nasty first impression when they approach the lights at north capitol street they hit a wall of drug addicts and other substance abusers? who can blame them for making sure their doors are locked and you have a full tank of gas because there is no stopping or getting out of your car until you reach virginia.
from the examiner.com this morning:
An elderly man in a wheelchair died Sunday after he rolled into traffic and was struck by a motorcycle, a police source told The Examiner. The man, whose name wasn’t released publicly, apparently tried to beat the motorcyclist, who was in the oncoming lanes near the intersection of New York and North Capitol streets. The motorcyclist was driving slowly but couldn’t stop in time and struck and killed the man, the police source said. – Bill Myers

LYING IN THE TEA ROOM
ofcourse he should have never resigned, or announced a resignation. all he did was attempt to catch a hot creamy load in public and he should not have admitted guilt. the right wing republicans are the worst when it comes to that. but imagine if he doesn't resign and he's at a hearing in congress and needs to go to the mensroom. ewwwwwwwwwww. union station mens rooms are filled with members and staffers eyeballing each other for a quick peek.

AND NOW IT'S STALLED
chug, chugging along is the development of the old convention center site. and now, another stroke of brilliance: when you can't fix something ....lets have a contest to call it something different!
when our library(MLK) site got historic designation it took the wind out of the greedy developers sails. pity.
god, how much money do these people have to waste? they turned chinatown into chinablock and the central business district is no more and called the downtown something or other.
http://www.examiner.com/a-914928~Convention_center_work_slows.html?cid=rss-Washington_DC
the chesapeake house sat alone on the corner of 9th and H for years. i went inside once it was a gay bar with gogo boys dancing on the bars. they said spys use to meet there and all sorts of deals made. down the block on 9th was the Lone Star another boy dancing club.

A KILLING IN THE APARTMENT
8th and R NW
in the first floor unit of a lincoln-westmoreland apartment a 15 yr old girl shot and killed a 16 yr old. wtf are loaded illegal guns doing in an apartment complex? why didn't the management company evict this tenant? keeping firearms is cause to quit lease or was the management company so greedy for the cash flow they overlooked the illegality and was this the drug dealers apartment where drugs are sold with window services or was that a different first floor apartment.

STABBING AT METHADONE PANTRY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
here's another instance where the social service squad say development will remedy the situation: the methadone clinic at 1st and N NE behind mcdonalds. all day saturday traffic was messed up along NY Avenue...from NE to NW because some junky got robbed/stabbed/killed after getting his fix at the clinic. the office of general services, office of planning and the real estate big shots need to decide where all these trashy junkies are going to go to get their fixes. for 20 years that methadone pantry has been operating. i guess in five years they'll post a banner claiming 25 years of serving the community. the halfway house at north capitol and K NW is demolished and now this clinic needs to go.
OPEN AIR SEX SITES IN MOUNT VERNON SQUARE
did you know the area has a rich history of sexual expression?
lower 9th street/MLK library/boystown. in the lower part of the central business district was filled with peep shows, gay bars with dancing and stripping boys. F street next to the MLK was closed to cars and at night was a gathering place for outdoor gay sex. boystown was the neighborhood where alot of cars from maryland and virginia would ride around the block near 7th and F streets NW, the heart of boystown.
with development came more shifting patterns. in the mid 90's boystown move to 5th street from E street all the way to K street. the northern part of boystown still happens outside the fun fair video store. the johns are still driving around and around.
i must mention the transexuals, "the girls" or the coloured TV's who have occupied several specific locations over the years. first they were at 10th and M and in the mid 90's they were run into the 4th and L area where they still work today.
but the biggest outdoor sex location was mount vernon square itself. behind the bushes next to the library surrounding the entire building guys would almost swarm there nightly. and they would carry on until sometimes 7 am the next morning. when the new convention center arrived they tore up all the landscape and pulled out all the hot spots of bushes and improved the lighting.
