Card Carrying Lesbian

[susandennis]

Part of this dream last night was about a woman I didn't know who said she was a lesbian. I said 'Oh really?' as in 'interesting' and she said 'Yes, Really! I have a card to prove it.' and she whipped out a driverslicense kind of card that looked very official and had her picture on it and it said that, indeed, she was a lesbian.

I'm still cracking up about it this morning.

I did not get my free Prime month because the post office delivered my package at 5:30pm last night. Wild. Glad I was wrong. Except it didn't work so back to Amazon today. I dropped it off at the UPS store after my swim.

There is a hint of Fall out there today. I know I'm rushing it but I'm so ready. It's supposed to get almost 80 today but it had better hurry. It's already 9 and only 64 and there is fog hiding the sun. Tomorrow is cooler and then Wednesday/Thursday/Friday they are saying rain!!!

I'm going back to old fashioned Gmail. For the past month I've been trying - again - Google Inbox and while it's very pretty, it just wants to do more and differently than I want to do. I keep a tight organizational reign on my email a habit left over from my work days. I like doing it my way. Not Inbox's way. So... again... buh bye.

I watched The Danish Girl this weekend. It's an exceptional movie. I even had to split it up over two days. I think that kind of gave it a bigger impact on my psyche. I've been thinking about various bits of it every since.

Regular old day here. Sewing and piddling and nothing big. I have been kind of slack on housekeeping so sometime between now and Wednesday morning when the house cleaner comes, I need to do some picking up and putting away of lots of stuff.

I too pick up and put things away before my cleaner comes. I want her to work as efficiently as possible, but it makes me cross that I "clean" before my cleaning person sees my home. First world problem!

[susandennis]

Oh I do NOT clean anything. I put away stuff. She is the cleaner. I am the putter awayer. Big diff to me and I like having the excuse to have to do it. I like the tidy almost as much as the clean.

It's a running joke that people like me are likely to have their gay cards revoked for various offenses (like being a baseball fan, or not knowing enough show tunes).

[susandennis]

Maybe that's where my brain picked up the idea. But I've never even seen your card.

Don't you get retention points for longevity, though? I'd love to see the rule book.

But I've never even seen your card.


Yeah, me neither.

I'm interested to hear more about your thoughts on The Danish Girl. I know some who believe it was one of the best movies of the year....I had very mixed feelings about it.

[susandennis]

I thought it was pretty to look at. I loved the scenery and the costumes. I thought the story was poignant and sympathetic and thought provoking. I thought the acting was exceptional.

I'm not a big movie person. I mark a movie as good if I think about it a fair amount afterward. I mark a movie as ok if I don't turn it off after the first 20 minutes which I do with most movies :).

I tried Google Inbox for about three days, then ditched it. I am perfectly happy with regular Gmail though I do use the tabs they came out with a while back.

I saw The Danish Girl when it came out and I really enjoyed it. I know there was controversy over having Eddie Redmayne play a pre-op trans woman, and while I can understand that I do feel that he did a fabulous job in the role.

[susandennis]

Yes yes he really was amazing in so many ways.

Oh I forgot about those gmail tabs. I need to go find those and try them again. Thanks!
