I've considered a month-long detox for the hell of it but I'm in the best shape of my life now. My yearly checkup's on Monday, so we'll see.

how can you tell? up to 6 martinis/day?

Those martinis keep burning fat and leaving muscle + bone.

Well, I'm only my third day in and it's felt like a week. So that's a reality check.

Do tell, Alfred
I'm one light fixture away from being set up in my new apartment with my boyfriend, the dog loves it here, we love it here. Last night I sat down on my new rug in my new library next to the teak bookcases we got for $200 and lit a bunch of candles and listened to records with my friend M and ate blueberries and small cubes of cheddar cheese.

I suspect what did it for us was dancing to "Silent Morning."

so my long-distance partner (A) whom i haven't seen in about 5 years is coming up to visit today and meeting my boyfriend whom i live with (E) for the first time ever apart from online interactions. he'll be staying with us for a few days so we finally all get to be in the same room. i really want us all to be together like a big gay ferret pile so i'm excited and nervous!!

At the faculty clinic this morning for my yearly checkup a medical student conducted the preliminaries. I was pretty sure he's gay, confirmed by the quickest of glances in my direction when I answered the question about my sexual partners' genders. When the doctor came in, he hovered behind her in assistance; we kept exchanging glances. "Very nice to meet you," he said without my prompting as I excited.
He's quite cute. I found on him Instagram and Facebook. Would it be odd to friend or message him?
― Let's have sensible centrist armageddon (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 March 2019 21:37 (five years ago) link
Yes
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Monday, 11 March 2019 21:39 (five years ago) link
Yes, definitely a bad idea.
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 11 March 2019 23:07 (five years ago) link
Just last night a doctor friend was telling us about how frequent he gets people hitting on him and how frustrating it is. It's not that he doesn't find it flattering (he usually doesn't), it's that there is no easy way for him to negotiate the professionalism he's required to maintain

I love my new apartment. It sounds so affectatious and Portlandia but there is a disconnected room with a cast-brass chandelier and candles everywhere and the record player and books and a big nice rug and the dog and a couch and a filled-in fireplace and the wifi doesn't reach it and a bay window and I am extremely very happy

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.

― macropuente (map), Thursday, 14 March 2019 19:10 (five years ago) link
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.

So I liked Giant Little Ones a great deal more than Love, Simon.
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Tuesday, 19 March 2019 16:49 (five years ago) link
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.
