This week has been rather disheartening. I have lived in the same place for many years. It’s an huge interesting house with a colorful back story. It’s been the setting for several porn shoots, a comic or two, and more then a few blogs. It’s got a bit of a reputation and more then once someone has walked in and said “Wow! It’s so cool to finally see The Embassy in person!”

In short, it is the kind of place a colorful persona such as myself deserves god damn it!

This week, after 17 years, without warning, I was evicted. I have 30 days to move, 14 of which I will be in London. I think I have convinced them to give me 60 says, but even so. Moving that many years worth of stuff is going to take a serious effort. Finding a new place in SF is going to take an effort.

Finding a new place with an amazing back story and an international reputation is going to be impossible.

It’s taken a bit of getting used to. Then. In the middle of it a gift arrives from a friend from my comic circle. It’s the Party Box of Game magazines highly rated Apples to Apples, as well as a couple of other little treats from the same publisher. And I have to say, Apples to Apples is not a cure all, but a well placed gift of Apples to Apples is a fantabulous emotional band-aid!

For those of you who don’t know Apples to Apples, I highly suggest you check it out! It’s the kind of game a Dominatrix can play with the whole family – minors and inlaws included. Heh – That’s probably not the kind of endorsement they can put on the box.

And to that special person – a special thank you!
