My momma made me learn this song: a gay Winter for 2015

Canadian lit: what's on the syllabus?

well i'm reading A Jest of God (1966) by Margaret Laurence, which has some les/bi content. Set in the boonies of Winnipeg!

i started but never finished 'gay new york,' what i read was v good tho

My reading list, for those interested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ek393nctce6z3nw/Eng%209917-9937%20Canadian%20Literature%20.docx?dl=0

Ah so interesting, lots of "the right choice" from authors with a wide catalogue, so good to see "Surfacing" there i.e., pity it's all Anglo and sad to see Carson crossed off the poetry list

Lots of stuff I haven't read/haven't heard of, too, any revelations?

I'll keep you posted on my finds along the way!

For most of the Modern/Contempo picks, I was given an author and asked to fill in a text, and I went with stuff I already knew or owned when possible (Surfacing being one of my picks). Sorry to lose Carson; I based my poetry selections on what was in the anthology I owned (Carson's in there, but underrepresented).

Maybe it has something to do with those 50+ books I have to read over the next few months, but I just didn't have the patience to get all the way through Satyricon tonight. It has some cute boys in it, sure, but so does any music video by The Vamps.

i almost listened to The Amps today!

also i think my date fell through and i'm p sure i have to go out tonight. i wish someone had a jeep who could pick me uppppp

the thing is i rly don't know if i want to go to the neighborhood bar at 8p. even though the outfit does work for the early hour...

Btw, fgti--or anyone!--who wants to talk to me about Canadian lit, we can arrange something off thread/board (hard as it may be to believe, I suppose it is possible that there are gays here who don't give a shit about Canadian literature). Talking about it with others can only help me in my studies. At the very least, i'd love to hear what some of your faves are.

Oh shiiiii yes I have lots of suggestions.

What else? oh! My bf and I finally had a conversation that ended in discussion and resolution instead of broken glasses and tears? After eight months of trying! We're so proud.

Also I know I've been posting only "FUCK" posts about this whole poly chain dickaround, for what, the past year and a half? But there was a nice moment a couple weeks ago when my bf and I were having sex and he tried doing some uncharacteristic sexytalk and asked me "tell me about what it's like to fuck ____" and the immediate thought that came into my head was "there's always a moment when we both drowse awake at the same time and the afternoon sun is crossing our naked bodies and we're still holding each other so tight and every breath is love love love on my neck and.." but I thought better and faked it and made up something about a delicious asshole

fgti - I just sent you a message via ILX email (does anyone ever check these things?).

it goes straight to my main email, i assume that's the default setup

i put together a nice playlist this morning!! currently Trisha Yearwood's "She's In Love With The Boy" is on.

what's everyone doing tonight?

hi gays!

I'm introducing Poison for a Christine Vachon festival running at one of the local art houses, so I'm writing a few paragraphs w/the help of a Tru martini.

i'm going over to my boyf's, he's working on this 3 ft tall hat he made out of papier mache and a tomato cage for a bookstore dada thing this weekend and i'll probably get some take-out. i wish i had my laptop so i could split up tracks i ripped from new records while he's doing his thing.

Reading a collection of Canadian poetry about the Underground Railroad!

wow such nice nights for everyone!

i'm rly excited because i wrote a song and a guy that i found who's a record mixer is making it sound really good for me. It should be done in a month or so!

Let's hear it in a month or so!

OK!!

took a sick day yesterday and ended up finishing the third neapolitan novel, they are SO GOOD

I'm 150 pages deep in the first: agreeable, unmemorable so far.

it gets better, as they say

i've been reading a book too! it's been a really long time. it's about kings and stuff.

Trojan kings?

all sorts :P and the hunger for *power*

Gays, I'm drunk, but bored. Hope yr all having a good S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night.

I'm drunk and spent my night at a friend's birthday ogling her cute friends and opening their shirts

wow! i'm not drunk FINALLY. yesterday was a mad Don Draper moment

Hello, lovers. For some reason I've found myself simultaneously reading 2 different novels by Samuel Delany & it's doing weird (fun) things to my brain.

speaking of weird (fun) things to my brain:

Last March I went on a sexless date with this fellow.

Last week I learned he was my new doctor.

Woah, cute!

Too bad you have to stay three feet away.

Our date was three weeks after the quarantine was lifted!

Either he legit didn't recognize me when he probed my abdomen or he sports the best poker face I've ever seen.

He looks way too much like Jon Meacham for my taste.

when he probed my abdomen

the exam came second, right?

(This reminds me of a gag in a late John Ford film when a hoe falls down and her petticoat flies up and James Stewart is all "Oh, I know her")

he's cute imo but- wait, I'm confused- did he never acknowledge that you had been on a date ever? because that would be very weird if he had acted like you hadn't dated at all

He did say my weight and HDL and lipid tests were spectacular.

Is it possible that acknowledging the date would amount to admitting an ethical breach? I'm not sure how all that works but I know when my BF worked in mental health he couldn't acknowledge that he knew any patient if he encountered them outside the clinical setting.

yep -- that was my thought too

Also OMG tune I just now got the FB invite to your show at the Columbus!!! I'm hollering.

hi!

how do i cope with the single-digit-degree cold this weekend, surm, when i want to go out?

SAME QUESTION HERE

i'm figuring on working the hitchhiker out of a 70s horror movie look. think that'll attract dudes?

Hi!!

My Valentines plans involve eating an unreasonable amount of cassoulet with my boyfriend and probably getting really gassy as a result. ROMANCE!!!
