NYPOST.COM World News: SICKO SEX CANNIBAL
B E R L I N, Dec 13, 2002 — In a gruesome killing that could come from the Hannibal Lecter novels, a German man allegedly shared a last meal of flambéed penis with his willing victim before cutting him up and freezing his leftover body parts to eat later.

I made a cup of tea and then spilled it, burning my forearm. It stings. I feel stupid. I have practically ate an entire tin of chocolate cookies my mom made the other day. I can’t help myself.
It was almost a year ago I left for Berlin. What a nice trip that was! I loved the Weihnachtsfests, Gluhwein, und Lumumba. I wish I could go back. Of course I was never accepted amongst the German people. Always an Ausländerin.
Well, I may not be in Germany but I am thinking of Berlin and Lübeck and remembering what a wonderful time I had…

Last night in Dallas, I saw Bill Cosby in concert. I snagged two free tickets and gave one to my colleague, Guillermo. The concert was only about an hour and I laughed maybe twice. I was never a huge fan of Bill Cosby although I loved Picture Pages and Fat Albert. [Mortimer the Marker & Picture pages, picture pages, now it’s time for picture pages, time for games and puzzles with Bill Cosby…grab a pencil or a pen, it’s time to have some fun again, it’s time to watch Bill Cosby do a picture page with you! & Na-na-na, gonna have a good time, Hey, hey hey!” & Mushmouth] The one funny part during the concert was when a heckler started screaming, “Who ate my Jello Pudding Pops??!?!
The night before last I went to a Japanese restaurant called Steele. They had fabulous sushi but the waitress spilled an entire glass of Kirin down my back. Not only was I soggy but one of the people I was eating with kept stealing my sushi! It was just the oddest thing in the world to me. Carl ordered his own entree yet, without asking, he grabbed part of my meal! I said, “Yo Buddy, I don’t take a bite from your hamburger, hands off my sashimi!” Strangely, he didn’t seem to comprehend that what he was doing was rude and inappropriate. Some people are frustrating at times.
At any rate, I got back to Philadelphia this afternoon. It was a good trip but I am so very glad to be home.

A colleague has been flirting with me. I’ve been pretending not to notice but I enjoy the attention nontheless. And then this evening it came out. He said, “I love Cher…. she had a concert near my house not too long ago. It was sold out by the time I tried to purchase tickets. Has anyone ever told you you look like Cher?” Yes, it has happened before; a few too many times.
Went to Landry’s this evening. Practically threw away my seafood platter but ate all of the Banana’s Foster. Early morning meeting tomorrow. Must sleep!

Saw the School Book Depository. Grassy knoll seems more plausible. Ate at Dick’s Last Resort– the waitresses blew up balloon penises and gave them to all the women. Mine was an electric blue. I couldn’t even get in at first. I went in with my colleagues and the guy at the door picked me out to card!?!?! I didn’t have my ID, hadn’t imagined I would get carded. Had to take a cab back to the hotel to fetch my ID!?!?! Unbelievable! When I got back to Dick’s, everyone kept calling me “the baby.” At any rate, still surviving. Must wake up real early tomorrow. How will I ever do it????

Cocoa had surgery yesterday and he is doing well, or so I am told. Thanks for rooting for him!
I am in Dallas and the water sure does taste funny. The hotel room is nice. And I am one of the few without a roomate. All is well.

Tomorrow I leave for Dallas, TX. Business meetings. Should be interesting.

ABCNEWS.com : German Playboy Seeks Women to Kill Him With Sex
B E R L I N, Germany, Dec. 2 — Rolf Eden, a Berlin property tycoon, former nightclub owner, and all-purpose celebrity, says he is offering $125,000 to any woman, from anywhere in the world, who can kill him with sex.

The vet called. Cocoa does not have feline leukemia! He just needs to have his teeth worked on. This morning, Lily fell down the stairs. She is okay, nothing broken. Her one side is a bit sore, it seems but she is okay. How did my pets get so old!?! They are falling apart.

Watched Queen of the Damned and it was not nearly as horrible as I had heard. preferred this Lestat to Tom Cruise. Felt a stirring in my utility belt toward Marius/Vincent Perez. I tumble for very few so this is quite a compliment.

Watched the very end of Death in Venice… Oh, I love Dirk Bogarde! Every movie he made is a favorite of mine! I tuned in just at the right moment to watch him die on the beach as he watched young nubile Tadzio wrestle with his equally young, nubile Italian friend. In the book, wasn’t ole Gustav eating strawberries when he died? I think so.
