Not the kind of liquids I’ll be having this week.

Happy First Day of Spring!!!
—————————————————————————————–
This was my horoscope on Saturday:

If you were hoping for an easy weekend, you might as well forget it because with the sun aspecting Mars, planet of ego and energy, something will spark your interest, and if anything, you will find yourself working harder than ever. That applies to relationships, too: You will go anywhere and do anything to impress the object of your affection.
——————————————————————————————
The “object of my affection” happened to be at my place when I decided to check out what was in store for me. “What are you going to do to impress me?” he asked. I couldn’t think of anything.

And I haven’t done anything to impress him, well, at least not anything in the past week, but I am doing something that I never, in a million years, thought I would do, and it is because of him.

We have this very spiritual relationship. For fear of sounding like a bigger kook than I already am, I don’t want to go into more detail right now, but this is the first relationship that I’ve had in a long while that hasn’t been based around the sex. And that’s amazing. So last night while he was meditating and looking for answers to other things in his life, he realized that he needed to “wash” out his body, to fast, to do what he calls a master cleansing, and he decided that now was the perfect time to do it.

I spent the night with him last night, and upon my arrival he sat me down and started to tell me about this fast. It would be for five days, ending the night of Good Friday, and it would consist of drinking a concotion of Water, Grade B Maple Syrup (although we only found Grade A), Lemon, and Cayenne Pepper. He had done this before and found the results to be quiet clarifying.

I didn’t think twice about what he was doing, except to say that I knew that this would make our communication difficult over the course of the week. Think about it, if you’re eating and someone else is not, it’s got to be difficult to relate to them.

And then he asked…”Would you fast with me?” I thought about it for less than 30 seconds. Why not? What did I have to lose? It would help me clear my own head and I needed something to help me get back on track. Plus, it was something that even if we didn’t do together, it would keep us connected all week. And maybe, although this isn’t the reason you should fast, I would lose a couple of those winter pounds. Still, I’m not trying to impress him.

SO…I’m fasting. I’ve been drinking this master cleanser all morning and peeing quite often. Tonight I’m going to see a Broadway Show and I hope I can sit through the first act without leaking on the seat..or trying to eat the hand of the person next to me, whichever should happen first. I realize part of the reason I’m doing this now is to impress myself.

I’m going to try to fast this whole week, until Friday, when we’ll break at some point. I’m also working a regular schedule, so this should be interesting. I think I can do it, it’s been a long time since I’ve practiced such extreme will power.

Now, onto other things…

I must comment briefly on this since I feel close to the situation at Playgirl.

I don’t think the Editor in Chief was fired for her political views, in fact you can’t be fired for your political views. I want to say more, but I actually really like Michele as a person and I really like Playgirl and the people that are still employed there…so I’m not going to comment further. Now stop asking…

Still, I wish Michele hadn’t written this letter:

**Exclusive**

PLAYGIRL editor-in-chief Michele Zipp has been stripped of her duties after she revealed how she voted Republican in the 2004 election. Zipp, in an e-mail, claims she was fired after an onslaught of liberal backlash.

“Hello Drudge,
“After your coverage of my article about coming out and voting Republican, I did receive many letters of support from fellow Republican voters, but it was not without repercussions. Criticism from the liberal left ensued. A few days after the onslaught of liberal backlash, I was released from my duties at Playgirl magazine.

“After underlings expressed their disinterest of working for an outed Republican editor, I have a strong suspicion that my position was no longer valued by Playgirl executives. I also received a phone call from a leading official from Playgirl magazine, in which he stated with a laugh, “I wouldn’t have hired you if I knew you were a Republican. I just wanted to let you know of the fear the liberal left has about a woman with power possessing Republican views.”
Developing…

BTW: Did he ever come out of any closets? Just curious…
