Stuff and Things … Things and Stuff

Postcard from Postsecret.com

It’s hard to make a title and then write on CatalinaSays.com, because I generally just start writing and whatever ends up coming to my mind, I write about, then at the end I try to make sense of it and add an image.  Nothing makes sense today - this image has nothing to do with anything and it’s linked (click it) to an old post I wrote about being Mrs. Robinson on CatalinaLoves.com, which also has nothing to do with anything.

For example, today I traded a baby for a dog.  No, not literally.  I took S to the sitter’s house and The Dude brought his pup over today for us dogsit.  It turns out, it’s easier to take care of a semi-potty-trained puppy than a semi-potty-trained preschooler.  Our cats behaved vehemently.  The poor pup was scared of them.  She spent most of the day hiding between Marky’s feet.

Cleis Publishing contacted me today — I’m writing a review of Rachel Kramer Bussel’s book, Spanked, which is an anthology of (yep, you guessed it) spanking stories for Amazon.com.  Marky and I together are reviewing her oral anthologies, Tasting Him and Tasting Her.  They are super(duper) hot!  What’s the connection? Rachel Kramer Bussel had given them my contact information to be added to the 6 Degrees of Catalina Networking project I am working on.  Thanks, RKB!

I ate my first McDonald’s cheeseburger in over 18 months tonight.  That’s worth noting.  I don’t eat fast food.  However, my family does and for dinner tonight they wanted McDonald’s.  In my attempts to be a more reasonable person, I am trying to adapt to their life more.  So I ate a cheeseburger.  According to their site, that little cheeseburger was 300 calories.  By those same figures I used to eat 1,300 calories in a meal.  I also ate a Nutri-grain bar today.

If you were on the edge of your seat over the quilt that was sent by La Profesora, yes, it made it here and it is unbelievably beautiful and an absolute heirloom.  W and S have both tried to claim it.  Nice try, I’m still alive.

Now I’m expecting a package from Liberator.  They have a new shape that I’m going to try out!  I’m pretty excited about that.  The challenge will be, how many different ways can we use this?  I love a good challenge.  If I’m not mistaken, they are also sending a Throe to me, which I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time, since first hearing about them!  Thank you, Liberator, for the chance to review for you again!  I absolutely adore your products.

I considered moving to San Francisco for a few seconds, then came back to reality.  Of course, that’s where Lochai will be - The Armory.  My dream job, I think, is at Kink.com.  I want the job with the clipboard where you get to tell men (and women) to undress.  If only…

Well, I still have a movie review to write - Madison Young sent me her new movie, “Lesbian Life: Real Sex San Francisco”.  I watched it last night and so now it’s time to put it into words.  I’ve got to say, I think that where she has done a really nice job is in providing a lesbian porno for actual lesbians, which is a very special niche in the industry that is underrepresented.  I think she’s really smart to market a real lesbian movie rather than porno lesbians.  It’s not that they’re unattractive, the women in the movie, it’s just that they’re not the blonde haired, blue-eyed, fake boob bimbos that I think of when I think of porno lesbians.  In my opinion, real and authentic is always preferable, and Madison always brings that to the table.

Three companies have contacted me about writing columns for them this week.  I am still waiting to hear the details on that.  Getting paid to write would certainly be nice!

So that’s where I end up, it’s such a mishmash of stuff and things.

Oh ya, and buy an ad on Fetlife!  Why?  Because we just crossed 40,000 members since January!  We just passed Bondage.com in our Alexa rating!  Because FetLife.com rocks!  And Because Catalina Says!
