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

Up to and including last night, yeah! (We were hoping to host a third, but the weather outside was frightful.)

I feel like we have all grown so much

I'm growing right now.

Congrats, Eric!

SO
MUCH

No more growing for me, thx

nore of a show-er

After the just-the-two-of-us romp, we had someone else over to watch Cold War.

We're kinda boring, no?

Byron couldn't have said it more graciously.

plz come to New York when it's not cold, y'all

Gays, claim your song/chapter:

Madonna: Classic Or Dud

who?

Morbs gets whatever's left over (probably "In This Life").

He can regale readers with his tales of lunches spent with Gershwin.

I could've touched her when she and Sean Penn were in mid-grope in the summer of '86 (Metropolitan Opera House aisle after a Robin Williams stand-up show). Instead, I squeezed past. Walked on by, you might say.

*owned, bitchez*

hi y'all

i'm drinking rose cava and listening to sade

it's pretty gay

I'm eating a quarter of a pink cookie and sipping cab and about to watch Morbs' beloved They All Laughed.

I hope there's weed in that cookie

He Didn't Laughed

He never Her

I don't know what that's a reference to but it's a reference to something, that's for sure.

i actually thought of "you never her" at work the other day and lol'd

what is it?!

oh, i did mean to write "you never her" not what I wrote there.

oh fuck, it's an ILX only meme.

Clearly none of you ever her

never been to her

I turn 40 this year and am going to Palm Springs. Prove me wrong.

I'm in the library and it's sunny. Prove me wrong.

I almost went to Palm Springs by accident a few years ago (we were headed for the Nixon Museum and made a wrong turn). "This is the desert," I said.

I was in socal for a few days this week and met the lovely Joe G.

So nice!!! He is a true gentleman. Did everyone have a good weekend? The boof and I just had a life talk, it was oddly refreshing. We're thinking about "next steps."
Fuck life is weird!!!

I spent the weekend basically watching all the Oscar nominated shorts. So my life is kind of what it’s always been?

That sounds wonderful. Any good views?

Yeah, more dissertation work (but not enough), putting together an application package for a teaching gig in the Spring, plus I watched Happy as Lazaro (which I liked a lot). Lots of dog walking now that the cold snap is (temporarily?) over.

Eric: same question. I liked Fauve quite a bit, thought Bao and Animal Behaviour were kinda meh, and haven't seen any of the others.

I flew to Boston to see my boo for 72h, it was so lovely, I love him so much

A friend photographed me throwing a football yesterday afternoon.

I made him watch Rent which he has never seen, which I didn't think he would enjoy but wanted his commentary on as a gay Gen-X filmmaker w his own brushes w addiction and it's basically a play written abt ppl like him but for a mainstream audience. He didn't hate it as much as either of us thought! But we both agreed that it was largely wack and v straight-white-male-gazy. He said it felt very USA Today.

Fauve was awfully good. Detainment awful, thoroughly awful. The docs were all kind of middling this year, though I thought the aesthetic choices Black Sheep made were interesting.

I actually didn't watch the animated ones yet, not sure why I said "all" upthread.
