If it were Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey, Jr, now I'd get excited.
Yeah, two of my students set me up with some layout designer they work with at Ft Lauderdale's daily paper. Not sure whether to call it a "date," but we're meeting for drinks and dinner. One ominous sign: he likes the new Madonna.

ugh, went to a birthday party a couple weeks ago for a gay friend and all the scary queers in attendance were lipping about Madonna being "FIERCE AT 50" in the vanity fair spread. sigh.

but i haven't heard the new one yet.
if i DO like it though, will you guys still like me?
there is something so annoying about the cliched "let's bond over the goddessness of madonna cuz we're gay" bit isn't there?

It's infinitely preferable to bond over Robert Downey, Jr.

The takedown of Peter Allen was good too. I remember seeing him on Solid Gold of all things when I was ten or so and wondering who the ungainly goof getting up and dancing around in front of his piano was, since I had hadn't heard any of his songs ANYWHERE.

So I found out yesterday that there would be a guy coming by today to check out the upstairs part of the house I'm living in, you know, to maybe rent it. And I was joking, all, "oh I hope he's cute and gay".
Except it turns out he is and he is and shit this is not going to go well.
― Casuistry, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link
all of your friends are wrong about Frankie Knuckles. and if they're gay, then they're maligning an astounding faggot of a man:
While studying textile design at FIT in Manhattan, Knuckles began working as a DJ, playing soul, disco and R&B at The Continental Baths with fellow DJ Larry Levan. When he became better known, he DJed at the club Better Days. When the Warehouse club opened in Chicago in 1977, he was invited to play on a regular basis. He continued DJing there until 1982, when he started his own club, The Power Plant. It was at this point that the sobriquet 'House Music' was applied to the sounds played at the Warehouse by Frankie. Initially it was a catch-all term to describe the wide range of music being played at the Warehouse, it soon became the word used to define the raw, drum machine based edits and tracks that Frankie was playing in the early 80s. Incidentally Frankie bought his first drum machine from a young Derrick May who regularly made the trip from Detroit to see Frankie at the Warehouse and fellow pioneer Ron Hardy at the Music Box.
Knuckles also had a musical partnership with Jamie Principle, and helped put 'Your Love' and 'Baby wants to ride' out on vinyl after having been regulars on his reel-to-reel player at the Warehouse for a year. As house music gained momentum, pioneering producer Chip E. took Knuckles under his tutelage and produced Knuckle's first recording, "You Can't Hide", featuring vocalist Ricky Dillard. Then came more production work, including Jamie Principle's "Baby Wants to Ride", and later, "Tears" with Robert Owens (of Fingers, Inc.) and (Knuckles protege and future Def Mix associate) Satoshi Tomiie. When business difficulties caused the Warehouse to fold, he moved back to New York, and was the featured resident DJ at The World, and also had numerous subsequent residencies, including at The Choice club. In New York, he immersed himself in producing, remixing and recording.

Did you guys know that it is rude to check out other men while on a first date? It totally is. The guy was a total schlub, so I had no interest, but seriously, he should have been working hard to get me, b/c he's not going to do any better.
