Today I bought a Vodafone SIM-card. People had told us it would be a lot cheaper to temporarily sign up with a New Zealand provider than to use international roaming from my normal provider. But this... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my blog for full links, other content, and more! ]] ...

We quite liked Auckland by night. One of the most prominent features of this city, especially during the night is of course the Sky Tower. It is 328 meters (1094 feet) high amd that makes it the... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my blog for full links, other content, and more! ]] ...

A preface from the author: I have turned comments and trackbacks off on this post for a particular reason – the fact that this is a very serious subject that I have been wrestling with all of my life. It may very well be a contributing factor to why I am so anti-social, it may not. I do not know to be perfectly honest and do not really care to explore it much further than I need to to function in my day to day life. I do not really want to discuss this issue and I know for a ...

When I said that I wanted Apple to release a tablet Macintosh, I meant something running Mac OS X, or at least capable of running OS X and all of my OS X applications (i.e. Photoshop, CSSEdit, Transmit, Firefox, etc). I did not mean something with the watered down iPod/iPhone OS which only allows you to run applications which have been approved by Apple through the Apple store. Basically, it just looks like they took a shrink ray to the iPhone and iPod touch and reversed the process. It is horribly expensive, considering all of it’s limitations and it’s limited ...

Passports are not just identity documents but rather, they are much more than that. They have a record of every time we have left our country and went somewhere else in the world, a record that allows to flip through the visa pages of the passport and reminisce about all of our journeys throughout our life. My last passport had some seriously rich memories and even though I lost it while at Naropa one day, I will always remember what that passport meant for me. Specifically for me, it had two important journeys that I remember quite clearly, the journey ...

Whenever I post a personals ad on any website, I can tell you honestly that I get a lot of vapid responses from ignorant people. Most of these are one line responses from people who are not truly interested in an actual relationship and do not find me valuable enough to actually try to win me over. Instead, they think that I should instead date them as a reward for their generosity for being so gracious to date me, a transsexual woman who has been cursed with the affliction of being heterosexual. Of course, I do not buy into ...

Today, I read an article that someone posted a link to on Facebook and it talked about the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, Paul Scott, and how he wants to create a legal barrier for transsexuals to get proper identity documents. This is a very sad thing considering that identity documents are a very important part of transsexual transition and we need them in order to live full and rich lives and functioning and productive members of society. We need proper documentation to ensure our safety as we walk the streets of our communities while conservative “values” prey ...

After all the necessary stamps had been put on the forms and in our passports in Los Angeles, we had to wait for our plane to be prepared for the next part of the journey. And then we were allowed... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my blog for full links, other content, and more! ]] ...

I am going to clarify right now that I do not think that being a transsexual woman in and of itself sucks because I am proud to be a transsexual woman. I am merely stating that it sucks to be a transsexual woman whom is attracted to men, basically a straight transsexual woman. I am going to advise you right now that no matter how much surgery you have or how well you have woodworked yourself, you cannot escape the fact that dating men as a transsexual woman sucks ass. It is simply a no win situation in which pretty ...

The alarm clock woke us at 5 AM and we proceded to wash and get dressed. Julia had ordered a taxi to pick us up at 6 and take us to the railway station. Everything was well-prepared, so we even had... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my blog for full links, other content, and more! ]] ...

Vanmiddag zat ik rustig achter mijn computer, toen ik een enorme dreun hoorde. Verschrikt holde ik naar beneden om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Het bleek dat het lawaai veroorzaakt was door de... [[ Dit is alleen een samenvatting. Bezoek mijn blog voor de hele postings met links... ]] ...

Today, I was waiting for a friend at the LGBT Community Centre of Colorado and I was reading a copy of Out Traveller on the coffee table behind the reception desk. There was an article by the president of W Hotels, stating that he remembers the road trips that he took with his father and how he and his family usually stayed in Howard Johnson or Holiday Inns and how you can remember all the sights and smells of your first time. Well, I do remember my first time travelling on the road and it was with just myself and ...

Do you remember Johnathan Boyd of Westminster, CO, the most recent Douchebag in Heat to grace the hallowed halls of that section of my website? Well, he has decided to contact me in an effort to get me to remove his entry from my website and has promised to do anything for me to try to get me to remove the content on my website. While such an offer is tempting and I have had the thought of getting a few free dinners or some new clothes out of him, that would not be an ethical thing to ...

This month Julia and I had to take care of the cash register again at the T&T-evening. And we had a lot to do!

Dear Microsoft, I really appreciate how you have integrated spell check features into your popular word processing programme, which has recently come under fire due to your shitty business practices, but I must ask you to stop underlining words such as colour, programme, neighbour, centre and other such correct spellings. Yes, I am very aware that you have British and Australian dictionaries included with your 2008 version of Microsoft Office for the Macintosh but if I use these dictionaries, I cannot add words that I use on a daily basis (such as cissexual, cissexist, transmisogynistic, etc) to the dictionary without reverting ...
