As it turns out, one very effective form of bonding time between gay men and lesbians is television. In the form of Sex and the City. Because what’s not to love about a TV show that features vastly heterosexual characters. Talking about sex and relationships. That are heterosexual. Mostly. Sexual, anyway. Middle ground is the [...]

It seems I made a slight error when I was driving to get my haircut just now. The one entrance to the place, to my knowledge, happened just before the shared lane in the road began. So I fudged it a bit, and pulled in anyway. Only to have a man, sitting in the passenger [...]

Opportunity presented itself to me today. In the form of an afternoon jaunt to Hollywood. I’ve been in LA for a week and half and hadn’t yet been. It’s really surprising that it wasn’t the first stop I made when I got here. Hello! Hookers, bootleg music, stars on the sidewalk, tourists, Scientologists, and lots [...]

Since when is 900 pages considered “light” reading? I’ll tell you when. Since that nutjob monopoly guy professor of mine said so in class this afternoon. But wait, it gets better. He pulled out his monocle and rechecked his syllabus, and corrected himself: not 900, more like 950 or so. Woops. His bad.
Just the thought [...]

Graduate school is finally becoming a reality. Oh, sure, I’ve been in school a week already. But today happened to be the day I discovered just how much work is actually involved.
What better way to spend a Sunday than holed up in the library, and then my room, muddling my way through four chapters of [...]

Blue skies and sunshine: enjoy them while you can. The weathermen and weatherwomen were wrong today. Mercifully so. As in, it didn’t rain all day long, as it has the previous few days. I think I’ll chalk it up to my needing a sunny day. Not only was I sick and tired of the gloom, [...]

I guess I never really thought about it much, but it’s come to my attention that I am the Ernie to my landlady’s Bert. We’re just roommates, so don’t even go there.
I feel very lucky to have found a place to live that is nice and close to campus, with nice people, in a nice, [...]

Buckets today. In the form of rainfall. Slowly poured buckets, but enough to flood the gutters of the streets and somewhat flood the parking lots on campus. I was glad to have my umbrella handy in the car. I’ve always got it with me in the car, but have never really had much occasion to [...]

Today. Day one of school. Officially. Not for me, though. That’s tomorrow. Today was a jaunt around campus, exploring things and ogling people and things. For instance, I learned that the library has escalators. Again. This place is totally, all around, high fucking tech. I’m thinking there’s got to be a standard HFT factor or [...]

Some haps, in the form of an unordered list:
Current count for items of furniture, fully assembled: two. Today, among other things, I put together a printer stand slash file drawer. An hour, it says? For one person to assemble that thing? Try two and a half. They failed to account for the excessive use of [...]
