If you have been waiting for the New Yorker to finally accept unsolicited materials, you can take a breath now. After an interminable amount of time, the NYer is taking what you're giving, if you're writing for a living.
How did I find this out? Why, my newest favourite site, Gawker! Chock fulla all sorts of New York gossip, gossip,
gossip. Even the stuff you don't care about.

And my latest favourite word? Schmoozenfreude. How droll!

I have been vindicated!
As of late, I have been on a tea drinking jag. I have been trying to make at least four, maybe more days a week as "no soda" days, and at least three days as "no alchohol days." Instead, I have been drinking gallons of tea. It doesn't hurt that I just bought a new tea kettle and a teapot.

But recent studies have proven what I have been saying lately:

Ginger tea is also good. Maryann tea has made no comment.

If the Buddhists are correct, then every animate thing in our world is simply in a state it wishes itself to be. The ahtman, due to the good or bad karma, resonates a certain sensation, and we, in our incarnations, interpret these. So, in our current incarnation as humans, we see the world in a human way, and that is alright.

But to follow this logic, we must turn agian to Miss T, as he says we should come out as we want to be. Resonate as that person we wish to become, and we are that. Realize our inner selves, and transform the way we percieve the world. I can change my world by changing my attitude, and that has a certain comfort to it.

Saturday was National Coming Out day. This day is designed as a safe day, one in which closeted individuals are encouraged to pronounce themselves as gay, thus freeing themselves from psychic shackles. The safe day provided is for those to accept people as who they are, and it is in this spirit that my friend, Miss T., says that NCOD is not just for gay people; it is for everyone. He says it is just as appropriate, on this day, to come out as something you are not now, but wish to be. So, for example, if you are overweight, you can "come out as a thin person." If you are restless, you can "come out as a traveler." If you are unhappy, you can "come out as contented person" --- if that is your desire. And Miss T. says you can use all week to do this if you want.

So, what do you want to be? Me, I am coming out as an insanely wealthy, world travelling philanthropist.
