Monday, January 31, 2005 CAMPi love "camp" because it blows the lid on self-righteousness and reminds me to not take life so seriously. it also makes tolerable the rampant hypocrisy that stains our culture like a 500 year old cum rag. what is "camp"? watch THIS EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. yesterday, i went down to RECORD RUNNER in the village and bought the re-mastered, re-issued LIZA MINNELLI / PET SHOP BOYS 1989 collabo entitled RESULTS. i'll never forget the time she and her posse showed up at THE LOVE MACHINE and requested LOSING MY MIND. LARRY TEE didn't have it, but he did play some PET SHOP BOYS for her. RESULTS is one of my stranded on a desert island cd's. i've bought it countless times to turn on new friends. the re-issue brings the STEVE "SILK" HURLEY remix of LOVE PAINS, plus extended mixes of DON'T DROP BOMBS and LOSING MY MIND. also included is a DVD of the music videos from the album. i also picked up a "promo only" of MARIAH'S BRINGIN' ON THE HEARTBREAK with 10 dance remixes. HERE IS MY STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND TOP TEN LIST: 1. THE BOSS...DIANA ROSS 2. LOW...DAVID BOWIE 3. RESULTS...LIZA 4. EYES THAT SEE IN THE DARK...KENNY ROGERS 5. NEVER SAY NEVER...BRANDY 6.

MY TOP TEN SONGS (in me own head this week) 1. BABY MAMA....FANTASIA (i can't get enough of this song) 2. GET RIGHT...J-LO (i can't explain why i like this "song") 3. INSIDE...MONICA (an 8 year old diane warren song) 4. SAME SCRIPT, DIFFERENT CAST...WHITNEY & DEBORAH (5th year in the top 10) 5. IF...DESTINY"S CHILD 6.

FRANKIE got fired. he's the one who invited me. MICHELLE is on her way. i can't wait. ME? i'm just rollin' wit' it. . | Permalink Sunday, January 09, 2005 WHAT?my lecture agent had me do a 7 minute piece at MERKIN HALL (ha ha) tonight for potential bookers. the first person i ran into backstage was AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS. we had never met, but i've been all up in his grill recently because i just finished reading his latest book and have just started his RUNNING WITH SCISSORS. he told me that he just bought my new album last night. how fucking not weird is that! . | Permalink Friday, January 07, 2005 SLEEPLESS IN MIDTOWNafter the radio show this morning, i got up into drag to host the PBS t.v. show IN THE LIFE. now it's 1AM and i can't sleep. the car comes for me at 4:45 AM. it seems the only time i can fall asleep is during the day. what the fuck am i gonna to do? this shit is fuckin' killing me! what do you know about sleep therapy? just finished AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS' MAGICAL THINKING. i really enjoyed it. . | Permalink Tuesday, January 04, 2005 LIFE PAINSTOM would get very teary-eyed everytime the thought of my relocation would occur to him. i would then say "oh please! i will not be a party to your refusal to except the time/space continuum theory!" of course, after saying that, i would remember my dear ol' mother saying to me "ru, you fucking reminisce too much! you're too goddamned sentimental!" years of processing has taught me that my mom was actually just like me, and she didn't want me to become a victim of my own heartbreak ... just like she had. thus, total emotional shut down. i can't afford to do that anymore, and i won't force my loved ones to comply just to spare me the love pains that life doles out. so go right ahead TOMMY BOY, feel however your heart desires over my eminent departure. i feel the same way you do, i just have a long history of covering up my feelings. . | Permalink MY CHRISTMAS VACATIONit's official. i no longer live in LA. the two weeks i spent packing up my house were emotional, therapeutic and a beautiful benchmark that i will always cherish. my whole family came together (including my PA) to help me and JOELLE sort through the past six years of my life out there. all the laughter, heartbreak, spiritual growth, solitude and new alliances are represented in that house, but the lessons learned and the love accepted i will carry with me wherever i go. after years of being a gypsy, i knew to give away two thirds of my possessions to make room for new things (i even sold my car to my little sister for a dollar). and so begins another chapter. hello NEW YORK. . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
