I've been away from here for a while. Just busy with summer flings and all. Thus far my summer has consisted of working here and there. I've been collecting my cute little nieces from their individual summer classes and amusing them with shopping jaunts. I took the girls to see their first fireworks; I just wanted that to go on record.

Major fun, fun, fun, corresponding with the one and only author/celebutante James St. James. Also delightful emails back and forth from Village Voice columnist and VH1 host, Michael Musto. These superstars couldn't be more generous with their time. I love them both! I have even met a mutual fan named Molly. What an awesome kid this one is. They're not all out shooting up the school or killing their parents, believe me.

Two old friends turned up unexpectedly and thats nice. Usually I'm the one that harks back to the past. Its nice when I have the feeling that not everything or everyone from my past has to politely chalked up to a "learning experience."

Most of my free time on the net has been spent reading the Village Voice, The WOW Report:edited by Stephen Saban and A Socialites Diary. I've been reading the autobiography of Che Guevara. Oh- I also read Party Monster and watched the movie. Both tremendous books for insight into the inner workings of a genius mind. I can clearly see how being a genius is often fraught with tragedy.

Oh and Tony love- Looks like the Brits get the Olympics games. Good luck with that fiasco! Can you imagine that mess in New York City?
