Don't be a drag

I got up at 8.30 yesterday to beat the worst heat and go for a jog. 15 minutes and I was drenched, but it felt good. Me and Mary Grace went to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy pillows for her bed, she and Jeff are moving to their new place in August and there's a lot to be done. Dallas is different from anywhere I've ever been. Everything is so spread out, and if you don't drive, you're not likely to go anywhere. Of course I haven't been downtown Dallas yet, I am in American suburbian heaven. Oh, and I had my first night out in Dallas yesterday. Mary Grace's parents came home (the nicest people you'll ever meet by the way), and we all (me, Mary Grace, her parents John and Ann, Jeff and Ann Elise) went to a restaurant called Mi Cocina for Mexican food. Or Texican, as John called it. Turns out, what I have been calling spicy all these years is nothing compared to what they're used to here, but the fajitas were delicious.

Anyway, we had some drinks with dinner, John and Ann went home, and we figured we'd go to a gay club and see a drag queen show tonight. Jeff needed some persuation, also known as alcohol, and once he'd tricked a friend into coming with us, he was on board. So Chris comes to join us, we have some more drinks, and head off to the weirdest show ever. These guys are more feminine than I could dream of ever being, and they mime and dance and wiggle their way around the audience to collect tips. And they were of course all over Jeff and Chris. It was hilarious. Best part is, we're going back, Janina is going to want to see this when she comes.

Tonight the plan is to see the new Harry Potter movie. Can't wait. Enjoy the pictures, I have more for those interested ;)
