whither anastasia?

First, thanks to the snafu with Blogger, I lost my ability to blog. Now that it's all fixed, I've lost my...verve? Yes, I've been in a bit of a funk due to the interview thing and not much up for sharing the day to day, but also most of my writing time has gone into editing up this odd piece I've been obsessed with since last fall. It's undergone quite a few revisions since I dug it out of my past and it really did need some finessing. Overall I'm quite happy with the results, but...

I'm afeared it may be just a tad too twee right now. Probably ought to sit on it for a week before sending it off on its merry little way.

In other and only very slightly related news, since last fall I've been tagging my blog entries. A few every time I do a new entry, but given that I have over 900 to go back over, this is a long term project. That said, I have managed to hit about 500 or so already and was a bit surprised when I came across my original review of Queer Eye and there was no GAY tag to hook onto it. Thus, in honor of Margaret Cho, I just created "the gay" tag. (apologies to MC if the below is misquoted)

My mom used to give me messages like this: "Ummmmm... Scott called.... IS HE THE GAY??!!"
"Well, God, Mom, I don't know if he's THE gay... that's a lot of pressure on just one guy. He has to do the parade all by himself! 'I'm here! I'm queer! ...I guess I'm the only one.'"

I've heard that not being overly obsessive is a good thing, so I will not go back and find the other 100 or so previously tagged entries which "the gay" tag might also have applied to...at least not today.
