Scotto's Wall Scrawls

good-ish vibes about the Deerfield place.. they're checking me out financially and socially and criminally, and I think I've passed any tests they might have.

Newt and I had a fun frolic for his b'day... nice, gentle evening, all told. A vid or two may be forthcoming, depending on how they turned out.

Also, a Terrasque? Whiskey Tango Hotel?

Saw my first episode of the new Nightstalker. - Not my thing. I'm going to have to watch old episodes of the original series now to see if my fondness for it is nostalgic or actually based on good stuff. I agree with jwz...This new show is a badly-written X-files.

Still processing this information:

Doug Wu called... he's a dad... Sired a child with illyana (a gay woman who initially dated Cathy Wu, but that didn't work out and Illlyana inherited Doug as a pal after his marriage to Cathy dissolved.)

It seems that Illyana wanted a kid and Doug is the biological father... the girl Kayla (sp?) will be raised in a household of four singles. She's seven days old at this point, and I hear that she's beautiful, and quite healthy. I think Doug'll be quite nurturing and give boundless love to his daughter.

I had no idea that Illyana was gay.. I somehow was under the impression that she was Doug's SO rather than POSSLQ... I suspect there's more of a family vibe there, all things considered, too.

Discovered some interesting things I didn't know... Doug's working as a caregiver for folks with cerebral palsy and the like, his household has no real internet access and they seem to frown on gaming (viewed as a colossal waste of otherwise useful energy) . It also seems that Doug is the primary breadwinner for the unit, with two of the members out of work

I talked to him for about an hour last night, and we caught up on things... we didn't know what sort of work the other was doing these days... oddly, I don't think we talked about comics once, even though he's pretty much the Ancient One to my Stephen Strange when it comes to TV/Comic book history and remembrances.

Moment of Lyric: mp3

Instrumental.

I'm beginning to dig Frigg. (Acoustic Nordic folk music with touches of American Appalachian and country & western music)

As soon as I get some more good mp3s, I'll share.

ok. more weirdness to add to my current situation. I get a phone call out of the blue from my pal Chase. (I've not heard from her in about 3 months)... apparently she and her girlfriend of 10 years are ready to have a child together. Problematic, as they are both lacking testicles, and want to give birth, not adopt. Enter Scotto. "He's got sperm! and I bet he's not using all of it!" Well. Truth be told, I've just been using it recreationally, and not procreationally... but yeah, I guess so. Here's the deal, they'd just as soon not go to a clinic and pay some guy to take it out of me, and plug it into Chase... they'd prefer the old fashioned, free installation that mother nature provides. Ok. I'm at the "Well, won't there be jealousy, or something from you having sex with me?" part of the conversation... and Chase says, "No, we've talked it out, and you're a nice guy... not emotional strings or anything, and we like what you have to offer...(she rattles off some stuff about me being healthy, etc, I come back with my apnea and back trouble, she says that they'll cope with the advantages over the disads. *egoboo*) Then she mentions that if everything's still cool, that her gf would like to have a baby about a year after the baby is born, and they'd like it if I agree to the first, if I'd agree to that too. Um. Well, let me think abut this, it's pretty important stuff...

that's where I am now. I think she expected me to agree right away, but was happy that I'm taking it seriously.

my immediate concerns are this -

I've really never had sex with someone I'm not attracted to 'as just friends'. The closest I've gotten is some silly stuff with someone I had a crush on, and she was just fooling around, although I took it a little more seriously. It's a good cause, and I'm honored they asked... but I'm not sure what my responsibility to the baby will be, should I draw up some sort of contract? Should I sire a baby with someone else, when I haven't had any of my own kids yet? I don't know what my feelings to a child I'm just serving as donor semen for will be, especially since I'd probably be there with them here and again, visiting.

Something for me to think seriously about.
