i do all my best work in bed.

not a double-entendre.

I thought Courtney Love throwing her compact at Madonna ousting Madonna from her own interview was the shot heard 'round the female music world that was the equivalent to Kurt Cobain appearing in a ball gown on Headbanger's Ball, signalling the end of a terrible era. But you lousy kids are keeping her alive and Courtney tried become something like Madonna and I just weep.

If one must cry, it's best to cry alone.

stevie, after m4tt broke up with me a while back, there was no way for us to avoid each other. we had all the same friends. i had to go through a lot of painful times because of it, but in the end, i learned that i was a) being kind of a crybaby, no matter how genuine my feelings were, and b) that it is totally possible to remain friends with exes, but that you must simply place yourself outside of situations that you know trigger painful memories/etc.

in other words, it isn't your ex's responsibility to tiptoe around his feelings for the new guy.

like lex, i empathize totally, and know it really sucks, but you should probably either remove yourself from situations like this or just say "fuck it, we're not friends."

hi guys there are cookies in the house and i need not to eat them

but they are my favorite, chipless chocolate chip

how does that work?

Ryan made a batch of chocolate chip cookies and i asked him to leave the chips out of some

they are so happy

i've managed to only have 1 tonight

Oh I used to loooove those.

Yeah tabes I've kind of decided to do the avoiding-situations thing I think

gotta love a good void

or something

I prefer the term evacuate.

We talked today and cleared a LOT of stuff up; he apologized for being kind of a dick abt the whole thing and we agreed to try to avoid being at the same events, or maybe even going to events together as friends instead of going with our respective date-guys

this got no traction on the poli thread (lol), so.... Doug Ireland (longtime gay muckraker) suggests queer progressives hold Obama accountable, toss their HRC black tie:

It’s time for the access-oriented politics of the Human Rights Campaign’s gaycrats and their ilk to stop sucking up to corporate America and devote their money and resources to organize, organize, organize.

Well, yeah, ideally, but apparently this is all less compelling than deciding which artery-clogging fast food chains should be supported and which should be boycotted.

MN marriage-amendment lobby was a model of organization.

WHAT THE FUCK, WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS MOVIE UNTIL 5 MINUTES AGO??

ah, Germany in the '80s

On my phone; Taxi Zum Klo?

Yes. It looks amaaazing from the trailer.

most arty gloryhole movie, funny too.

btw, noted elsewhere, but hardly any of you in NYC anyway -- the gay experimental film fest has moved to Gowanus this week:

whelp, i'm back. what's shakin?

my mom and my boyfriend are going to meet tonight

after 5 years

wow i'm nervous

understandable but it'll be fine.

i mean i don't think anything bad is going to happen but there's just a lot of time elapsed and now it's finally going to culminate, first with dinner tonight and then with us attending family thanksgiving together next week. it's a big milestone.

d. is kinda being weird with all the anxiety over this. can't say i blame him, tho.

i think i've tried watching taxi zum klo like 5 times over the past decade and always end up turning it off

perfidia (perfidy) is on netflix instant and rules. no-dialogue-for-the-first-forever-minutes-kinda-arty

dinner went very well. relieved.

yay!

Awesome!

:D

wait i meant this

continuing benefits of seeing M:

- homemade lasagne (pasta from scratch again! who knew this was a possible thing) and apple & rhubarb cobbler last night OMG BOTH SO NICE
- homemade cinnamon bagels in bed this morning

plus it transpired at the weekend that his favourite way of dealing with a hangover is to make a huge roast dinner with all the trimmings

he has called me a "good eater" :)

we need a dinner party to which elmo's parents can come and lex's boy can cook a huge roast breakfast with all the trimmings for our hangovers.

well, my dad and his not-wife know and like dustin. the introduction to other side of the family has been harder to negotiate, due to some devout catholic nonsense and my own unresolved anxieties.

which anxieties, i hasten to add, are presently being resolved.

we had a pleasant dinner and talked. my mom had a martini, and i found myself trying to remember the last time i saw her have a drink. i couldn't remember. she's an ACOA so that was a little surprising, but i guess she was a little anxious too.

and i'm really glad that d. got to meet her, and got to see a few of her quirks. she's a little bit of a conspiracy theorist, but only about certain things. so when the JFK assassination came up in conversation (i can't recall how) d. got to see a little bit of that.

"So was Oswald the gunman?" I asked her.
"Oswald was NOT the shooter. Oswald was in a cafe eating lunch and waiting for a phone call," she scoffed, like I should already KNOW this stuff.

Then she mentioned something about Dorothy Kilgallen? I don't know.

PRESENTLY RESOLVED ANXIETIES

Glad to hear it went well, elmo

Glad to her lex got a chef as well as a squeeze. I keep a continuous stream of roasts and tarts and fancy salads coming from the kitchen when bf is around. When he's not around I eat Vietnamese.

It is official, I am moving to Montreal at the end of the month. The main reasons are work and rent. The distant third reason is I am ready to give up my nights of drag shows and DJ nights for yoga and gluten-free dinner parties
