Gone for a bit

• “Love is an attraction to a single person: a body and a soul. Love is choice, eroticism acceptance. Without eroticism, without visibly entering through the senses, there is no love; but love goes beyond the desired body and seeks the soul in the body, and in the soul, the body, the whole person. ”
• Tragos' translation of Octavio Paz’s book La Llama doble: amor y erotismo [The Double Flame: Love and Eroticism], Editorial Seix Barral, 1997, p. 33.
• Today I fly about 6000 miles. I’ll be apart from my husband, Tragos, so earlier we got a little overexcited testing ichat, skype, jabber, aim etc:
• me: booya
• Chris: i think you need to make yrself available, to me, ms. booya
• me: Voice/video chat is not yet available for Chris’s system. Learn more
• Chris: oh, it’s available, trust me. you just need to switch your status to available I think or accept me i’ll try giving you a little video call right this second.
• me: do i accept you through eroticism?
• Chris: actually you’re right. I can’t and… amor!
• me: can’t what?
• Chris: video chat you
• me: because skype’s still open?
• Chris: i don’t think so when i look at the jabber thing it says ‘not authorized’
• me: skype may desire a monopoly on the erotic
• Chris: i think you need to add me as a buddy again skype has a monopoly on the sclerotic easy mistake
• me: I WANT YOUR LOVE I DON’T WANT TO BE FRIENDS
• Chris: press the eroto-mania button. it looks like a ‘+’ sign
• me: apparently the only options i have are to block your advances or go off the record…i feel either way this would subtract from our current relationship…How do i add?
• Chris: block my advances! now? press the ‘+’ button at the bottom left hand of the Jabber list then add me as a buddy
• SAD TRUTH #1: I will have a dodgey internet connection while I’m in Toronto.
• SAD TRUTH #2: I’ll miss Tragos like CRAZY
• SAD TRUTH #3: I’LL MISS ALL OF YOU TUMBLRS
• SAD TRUTH #4: You’re actually lucky I won’t be posting because my tumblr would just devolve into variations on the theme of “i miss Chris”…Have fun posting all kinds of things that amaze, inform and entertain me! xx
