I'm Also in the Library and It's Raining: WINTER 2018/2019 GAY THREAD

i gave him a willa cather novel. he likes georgia o'keefe. i introduced him to agnes martin. i want to do a santa fe / taos trip with him.

he gave me an eckhart tolle audio book to listen to on my drive and i really liked it, agreed with it all. i have no idea how uncool that is and i don't care very much.

map, you're unexpectedly sweet in this mode!

map these posts are lovely

thanks guys. i'm truly a puddle lately.

yeah, I'm not sure how I'd respond if a guy I liked gave me an Eckhart Tolle "book" after I gave him Willa Cather.

congrats!

I'm basically married at this point, and there are still days where I am a puddle.

I just awoke from a salmon carpaccio nap and am reading The Sacred Fount.

i'm trying to arrange a foursome for this summer

I won't be there before August, sorry

Currently celebrating our two year anniversary with a trip to NYC

We are drinking sake and eating scoopy tofu

Really, NYC is such a nice place to visit

:-)
i'm so glad people are puddles and traveling and stuff!
spring is hitting here, it's gorgeous out
i'm getting serious about some personal business today
self care levels are about to hit the ceiling

It's raining!

So I liked Giant Little Ones a great deal more than Love, Simon.

I liked Simon, but yes, Giant Little Ones is better. It's more engaged with the complexities of contemporary queer identity and, for whatever reason, I just found the lead to be more empathetic than Nick Robinson (or Timothée Chalamet, for that matter). Also, while climactic parent's-affirmation-of-child's-sexuality have become obligatory in these films, I liked Kyle MacLachlan's speech in this film a lot better than Michael Stuhlbarg's overrated one from CMBYN.

I drew that parallel, too. Giant Little Ones's "speech" is basically an act of de-escalation tho, compared to CMBYN's broad overture.

I didn't strongly dislike Love, Simon either, more so than I recognized its maximum usefulness to me would've been about 20 years ago.

good morning

i did that thing last night where i came home and ate pasts straight out of the fridge with my bare hands
not sure what this says about me....

PASTA

it says you are gay

otm

so my boyf is the exec director of Boston's lgbt film festival (it's called W1ckeed Qu33r lol) and he was telling me about all of the movies and how excited he is abt them

I'm going to Boston for the tail end of it so I'll get to see him in "film festival" mode which I am excited about!!

i have never done that

xxp

That's cool, Stevie!

is that in June?

That’s awesome Stevie

My bf and I had a fight about how liberally he was chasing side dick but it’s over now

Not the relationship, the fight is over

I think he wants to introduce a regular piece into the mix and happily I really like the guy— am not personally attracted to him—but would happily cook dinner for them both while they do their thing

xp it's late March/early April

Any arguments I'd have with my dude on this issue would probably stem from differences in libido. But that's a best-case scenario. It's never an easy conversation.

I mean, Esther Perel has become my new gay diva as of late.

I had to look her up.

To clarify, she's not gay (that I know of) and doesn't talk terribly often about gay couples. It's just: I'm gay, and I like her, hence she becomes a diva.

Yep, that checks out

I'm gay and I'm at the library, therefore

I'm trying to think of funny things to say to the staff while I have radiation therapy the next two weeks... They had to lay warm mesh on my face to "map" my head, and I sassed "This is the weirdest barbershop ever."

Patch Addams

oh i forgot my clown nose

wait, he was a doctor

Morbs <3

I am hungover and my boyfriend and I have been together two years and he made a nice Instagram post about it and I cried when I read it

surm do you have any feelings abt The Dixie Chicks? I was listening to "Wide Open Spaces" today and thought of you

Watched 1985 this weekend and it reduced me to a puddle.

oh, i want to see that. the trailer was giving me massive "parting glances" vibes.

told you!

they're screening that at Philly's gay film festival, maybe I should go see it

yes you should – and it's short.

I just checked and it's at 5pm, which is when I get done work across town, wtf? I'll just get the screener from my boo

it's on Amazon too

I spent Sunday morning appreciating the physique of dirtbag Adonis actor McCaul Lombardi in last year's Sollers Point.
