(Not Just) Knee Deep: The Spring 2012 Gay Thread

i gave a talk on David Wojnarowicz at the Berkeley Art Museum last Friday. that went well

i caught a bit of it -- really good -- also t showed off one of his tattoos to the audience.

jo3, if you mssg me yr email address, i can send you what i read from. parts of it are 'rough' per se, and it also involves looking at some of his images, but if you put it together, it works.

also wow, sarahell, didn't even seeya there. guess i was caught up in the moment. thx for dropping by!!

it's my last name and the letter j @ gee mail

thx!

Gays, I've traded movies-to-see lists w/ this wonderful queer fellow who owns a vintage shop across the street from my work and would like to hear yr comments on the following films:

The Children's Hour
The Killing of Sister George
Les Biches
The Anniversary (Bette Davis)
Suddenly Last Summer
Mademoiselle
Interiors
Belle de Jour
Boom!
Persona
Women in Revolt
Berserk (Joan Crawford)
Ma Vie En Rose
Le Ceremonie
Secret Ceremony
Myra Breckenridge
Enter Nous

sister george, suddenly and myra b are OTT in kind of annoying ways, mademoiselle and boom! are OTT in amazing ways. persona isn't really OTT (and i never think of it as 'queer' really) but is worth seeing all the same. haven't seen the rest.

(and now i am waiting for KJB to come along and yell at me for everything i've just written)

I wouldn't watch Women in Revolt until you've at least seen one of the Joe D. trilogy (preferably Trash, but Flesh might be the easiest point of entry). Then watch Women in Revolt and behold.

Dude's clearly a Liz Taylor fan.

welp, bf and i just had 'the talk'

or a talk. or talks.

bout stuff

i need to fuck

what's 'the talk'?

and word (re: rev's comment)

De facto summer gay thread, btw: MAGIC MIKE, the male stripper movie starring channing tatum, matthew mcconaughey, dir. Steven Soderbergh

also, seriously, all of y'all in insufficiently queer and/or dtf jurisdictions need to come to montreal.

pause. not in like a 'i am offering' way. in a 'this is a city substantially populated by attractive young men who are dtf' way.

I had to look up that acronym!

It's been about two months, which is not terrible but it's you know spring and I have a tan.

attractive young men dnwtfm

also, tans must to avoid

me & my boy are doing pretty great right now

i'm so hungry

Perfect transition.

'a talk' was about the idea of my going to visit him this summer when he's in argentina for a month. and whether our relationship is open or closed.

(jury's still out on former, and so far we're 'closed' in the sense that neither of us wants to be with anyone else)

oh, seattle's fine as far as dtf-ness (2nd gayest city in america and all). I'm just stranded out in the burbs and never get down there. and the few young gay men i meet out here are kind of on the dnw side of things.

Seattle is the second-gayest city in America?

Why have I not visited? Hm. EMP 2013 sounds promising.

I am thinking of a Montreal trip in the next few months, Alex – my first time in Canadia!

i may be in seattle in december!

I would've been back to Montreal by now if you still had a baseball team.

Ugh. Don't remind me.

We miss the Expos.

Stupid Washington Capitols.

Nationals but don't sweat it.

Trip to Midwest in June/July still up in the air for me.

I think part of my problem is I never go to gay bars.

Not just as far as like hooking up goes, but as far as having a gay social circle. I have like, no gay friends in town.

Blargh. Morbz. I know that. I do.

I'm just in the middle of exam season and the only things on my mind are (a) passing my awful awful exams on Monday and Friday and (b) hockey.

And yes, I know hockey = CapitAls not CapitOls. It's a bit of a day.

Having gay friends in town doesn't nec help in getting gay sex in town if you don't want it.

I may be in Chelsea til 9, getting on the standby line for Tribeca fest's Big Gay Movie.

ramz- you should text me when you're done. i'm going to hot yoga to try to fight off a cold (yes, this has worked before), but you might catch me afterwards.

ok

My butt itches.

hot yoga is good for that too ;)
