It really feels odd, this just sitting and vomiting up words that appear on the internet as soon as I push a button--it feels like cheating. Or as Alan Swann says in My Favorite Year, "You mean it just goes into the camera and spills out into people's houses?!"

Anyway, boy is it hot today in L.A.! I think it's about 87°. I think it's great, those poor bastards running the L.A. Marathon this morning might not have agreed with me. Just like in N.Y., no matter how cold it is, it'll always be a heatwave on the day of the marathon.

I went to church today.

There have recently been some sweeping changes at this church, the church where I have gone my entire life, in that there is standing instead of kneeling at some places, among other things. As we all know, all change is wrong, so I, along with a handful of other traditionalists, insisted on kneeling when we always have knelt.

It says in the bulletin that the aged and infirm can kneel or sit instead of stand, I think it should say "the aged, the infirm, and the stubborn." I have turned into one of those old ladies who wore veils when I was a kid, even after you no longer had to. "I've worn a veil in church my whole life," they harrumphed, "And no new-fangled Vatican II is going to make me stop!"

I'm a rebel. I kneel, dammit. In what insane, alternate-reality version of the Catholic church is there all this standing around? You're supposed to kneel until it hurts, not stand until your legs ache.

I have to go home and do my taxes now. Lord save me.

Today's horoscope:
You're solid, real and highly successful. Diaries read like manifestos. Your map only hints at your territory. Loved ones come when called and stay for as long as you need them.

One year ago today:
Then we watched Daughters of Darkness, which turned out to be the greatest movie ever made. It's another lesbian vampire movie. Omar really digs lesbian vampire movies.
