I took the road less traveled by (Part 4170)...

 MAPS!

Today's map is a floorplan for a quaint lil two story home.  


I'm not a huge fan of bedrooms on the first floor right next to living/eating areas, but with this floorplan, if it were my house, I'd probably make the first floor bed room the guest room.  The secondary upstairs bedroom is just too close to the main bedroom to be a guest room (guests don't need to hear any bedtimesexxyfun from the Master Bedroom...and vice versa!).  The upstairs smaller bedroom would make a great library!

What a LIST!  Man, these fellas would be a blast to have a party, right? 


Ya know, though, i don't know how accurate it is, because I've been several different categories on this list at various times in my life!

The Bisexual (or so I thought)
The Self-Isolating Homosexual (I hate people and I hate going out now)
Sugar Daddies (well I've never paid for it, but I guess I'm at the age where I could if I had to)
The Club Type (oh, in my youth, I'd not roll in from the club until 3, 3:30 on Saturdays!)
The Homosexual "Friend" (I've been the "Gay Best Friend" to many people, male & female)
The "Guilty" Homosexual (yeah, when I was young and not fully out to myself yet)
The Religious Homosexual (I own 2 Bibles, have read them and do pray nearly every day, does that count? )

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1797 in London, Mary Shelley was born.


She was an accomplished writer in her own right, but also edited and championed her husband's works.  She written many different novels on various subjects. 

But none of that matters. 

She's a badass because she wrote, she created, Frankenstein's monster!!!  And that story is still being retold, used all the time in other projects, even today, in the 21st century.  Clearly that's a badass!

She passed away in 1851 at the age of 54.

Not only was she the one person, the one thing, that damn near every American could  agree on, she was loved around the world!  Take a look at all this. 


Just imagine, being born into abject, mindnumbing poverty...12 kids in a one room shack, with no plumbing and no heating in the mountains of impoverish backwoods Appalachian Tennessee and upon your death, the entire fucking WORD honors you by turning the most iconic landmarks pink!  I mean, the Palace Guard band at Buckingham Palace, the PRIVATE BAND for the British Royal Family even played "9 To 5" after she passed one morning!!!

She was truly a unique individual, one who we're not likely to see the likes of again anytime soon.

Eighteen years ago, in 2008, was the last Tenth Doctor Who episode (before his specials) "Journey's End".  It wrapped up the previous three seasons by bringing all the companions back to help the Doctor defeat the Daleks.


Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen), Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri), Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), The Doctor (David Tennant), Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and Donna Noble (Catherine Tate). 

Great group, great three seasons of Doctor Who, great story here particularly!

On this date in 1917 in Harlem NYC, Isabel Sanford was born. 


Isabel Sanford's career has encompassed the stage, the silver screen and TV.  What makes her a badass is her iconic role on All In The Family and then The Jeffersons as Louise "Weezy" Jefferson.    She was the wife of the bombastic George Jefferson.   She starred on the series that ran for 10 years.   

Her role also earned her, in 1981, earned her an Emmy award, being on the second African-American actress to do so, AND the first ever African-American actress to earn the Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series!

She passed away in 2004, at the age of 87.
