I Know, Right?
Glenn and I have a new favorite phrase. It's actually not that new, but we encountered it on the street the other day and have been saying it to each other ever since. We were walking down 14th Street behind these three girls. Spring having sprung, the neighborhood was buzzing with people. And, spring having sprung, people were giving each other the once over all over the place. The three girls in front of us caught the eye of a guy on the corner who blurted out to his buddies, "Damn!" Actually it was more like "Daahyum." Anyway, each of the three had a different reaction. The first one sort of giggled and looked down at the ground. The one on the end sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes. (Okay, she was walking in front of me, so I can't be sure that she rolled her eyes, but I roll my own eyes enough times a day that I can sense when someone else is doing it. Other things I sense shall remain unnamed.) The one in the middle, though, just kept walking and casually said "I know, right?" It was delivered perfectly. Cocky, but not arrogant. Joking, but not like she didn't believe it either. She put it out there and kept walking. With Glenn and I in hysterics behind her. April 25, 2008
They Leave Suspicious Things in the Sink
There are days when your iPod is on shuffle and you're on the bus wishing you'd slept just another 10 minutes and the song changes and you're back in your dorm room listening to a mixtape from your ex-girlfriend whose kisses tasted like cigarettes and diet coke and you wonder where she'll be fifteen years from then, which is now, and you're not quite sure what will become of anything (then or now) but it's so much better now because you know that things have a way of working themselves out.

Ugly Betty Get's Ungrammatical
Oh, Ugly Betty! The get does not own the real. Fashion cannot get is real. December 28, 2007
You Say Potato, I Say Perfection
"The year 2008 has been declared the International Year of the Potato by the United Nations, noting that the potato is a staple food in the diet of the world’s population, and affirming the need to focus world attention on the role that the potato can play in providing food security and eradicating poverty." Words to live by. This year, in honor of this bold move by the United Nations, I plan on replacing my champagne toast at midnight with a feast of potato-laden dishes. Baked, mashed, smashed, twice-baked, au gratin, french fried, scalloped, hash browned, poutineated, latkenized, and so on. Perfection, thy name is Solanum tuberosum. December 17, 2007
Top Five Song Lyrics of 2007
I did this two years ago--you know, back when I actually posted things to my blog--and I figured I'd do it again for '07(ish). "I wouldn't trade one stupid decision for another five years of life." "Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs! I'm doing my best. Could you pass the figs?" "Why do I get the feeling it's time to go? You got mirrors on the ceiling. You're serving Darjeeling in your art nouveau." "The mousy girl screams, 'Violence! Violence!'" "I'm gonna rock your body 'til Canada Day." If you know all five songs without googling, you should really stop reading my mind. Or at least skip to the better parts which start around page 256. Labels: music December 11, 2007

Whither Marilyn McCoo
One of the girls in my sister's senior class was voted "Most Likely to Become a Solid Gold Dancer." I could only hope such an honor is bestowed on me one day. October 12, 2007

VMAwesome
As we settled down for the evening, Glenn and I watched a bit of MTV's Video Music Awards. As he put it, "Wow, it was really daring of them to let Boy Shakira open the show!" September 07, 2007
I'll Never Tell
This scene from Longtime Companion has always resonated with me. Because when I am alone I totally will belt out a show tune even though I cannot sing at all. And with precision choreography. I have a suspicion that even the most straight-acting homo has a tell. The one thing they do that would erase all doubts about their orientation. Well aside from sodomy, I mean. If you're bored one night, figuring out someone's "tell" can be a fun game. See that guy at the end of the bar? The one drinking a beer with his "bud" and watching the game? The one who looks like he's actually worked in his workboots? You just know at night he surfs eBay for accessories to go in his Buttercup Dollhouse Kit. Labels: gay September 06, 2007

Idaho? No, Udaho!
When I came home last night, Glenn told me of the latest news of the evening, Senator Larry Craig's bathroom adventure. I immediately hopped online and turned on MSNBC to find out more details. After I mentioned Craig's wide stance defence to Glenn, he dug up this gem from Little Britain. Pour one out for family values! Labels: politics, schadenfreude August 10, 2007
