  • Yes, Monterey, there is a Santa Claus

    Mervyn’s Department Store, Monterey, California… 1990. My dad had taken my brothers and I to the mall to pick up some gifts for our mom for Christmas. We’d stopped by customer service, for either gift wrap or package pick-up, and while my dad spoke to the clerk at the counter my brothers and I were…

  • The Day I Got Accosted on the A Train

    It was bound to happen eventually. I got accosted on the subway today by this big, lumbering guy who was not 100% with his senses. Meth, crack, or some other unfortunate issue plagued him and somehow made him into the world’s friendliest weirdo. With iPhone playing, headphones on and a wicked game of Scrabble going…

  • The sky is falling…

    So a piece of the sky just fell… well, a piece of the ceiling. And I’m so gay that I immediately thought of this classic Golden Girls moment.

  • The sad truth about online friend boards…and I’m not talking about”Hung Up”

    Sitting here tonight I realized a great truth about myself. ALL of my friends have more friends than I do right now… what the &@*^!? Granted, I was never the BMOC and certainly didn’t hang with the A crowd in high school. I chose the path less traveled and fluttered in and out of the…

  • And the #1 most overplayed song on Myspace is…

    …ARGHH… Madonna hasn’t been this popular since 1984. What the hell is up with every queen, sorority girl, and certified public accountant posting “Hung Up” (song or video) on their Myspace page. Ridiculous. On that note, I despise the music playing on Myspace. When I do check it – and I do often because like…

  • Tells me I’m bloody damn Bubbles does it?

    After reading my friend Mike’s blog and hearing about his results on the Which Golden Girl are you? Quiz, and then watching AbFab tonight I decided to take the Which AbFab character are you? quiz. (Click here to take it if you wish…AbFab Quiz). Turns out I’m Bubbles so of course the bloody thing is…

  • Getting toned for my birthday

    As luck (or Hell) would have it I’m turning 30 this summer. Could there be more of an impetus for getting into shape? No one wants to be 30 and fat or flabby or bubbling over with girth. No one really wants to be “more to love”. They might say that but they’re lying. And…

  • Not sleeping… take two hours of the BBC’s Shakespeares and call me in the morning.

    Why am I up you might ask? Well, I’ve not been sleeping. I have to move on Saturday, finish my theatre history journals, AND figure out how to pay for living all while saving the world from the forces of evil. It’s a tough job. It’s very much like being a Superfriend except that my…
