Remember Arthur? He’s the sexually ambiguous aardvark who has all sorts of weird growing up experiences in the form of children’s books. The one that, as a young child, I had an impossibly difficult time relating to him as a character because, well, he doesn’t look all that much like a real aardvark. And maybe [...]

I’m still in Albuquerque, as I’ve noted previously, and thus I missed out on what could have been my first ever experience of an earthquake. I called up a good friend of mine there when I heard about it, and she was like, “Ho hum, the ground shook a bit, but it wasn’t anything to [...]

Here’s a couple of things I’ve learned from my time visiting Albuquerque this second time around.
1.) In June, I fully expected to stay here for two and a half weeks, and thus I completely stuffed my suitcase with clothes in preparation. During my stay, I managed to buy even more clothes, which is completely awesome.
This [...]

It feels like a good time to do a list of “All Things Disjointed.” And what better way to follow up a Saturday night rant than by a random Sunday list?
I’m currently sitting on the couch typing this while watching Hook. I haven’t seen this movie in years, and I’m finding it very refreshing. I [...]

It seems that Michael Savage, the Imminent Asshole himself, is once again all over the news on account of his usual misinformed yet angry opinions. This doesn’t surprise me, as I remember when, five years ago, the man was “attacked by the liberal media,” to use his terms, for saying the following to a gay [...]

I’ve so far spent six months in Los Angeles, taking in all the newness of the landscape. And I’ve ended up back home in Albuquerque for most of the summer. I was talking to my friend Heather yesterday and we had the following conversation:
Heather: I really love Albuquerque, but there’s no beach.
Phil: We may not [...]

In order to be fabulously gay, you must, as a general rule, love shopping. Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed a pretty huge change in my shopping addictions. I realized the other day that my favorite shopping, at this very moment in time, is grocery shopping. And I was kinda taken by surprise.

Could it be that someone finally recognized that right-wing groups, mainly run by unattractive people who clearly have unhappy sex lives, are but a few people sending out a huge number of complaints on “behalf” of their “followers” who don’t actually care enough to be bothered to make the complaint themselves? So it would seem.

It started out as one of those occasional catches of the eye. The kind where you make eye contact and some sense of familiarity is sparked, but usually as just a reminder of someone you knew in the past, nothing absolute. It’s meant to end there. Except in rare cases in which the opposing party [...]

Murphy’s Law states that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. I would like to create a variation of this law that states, “If you take a trip home and don’t tell your folks, you will see them everywhere you go.” I think I’ll call it something catchy like Phil’s Law.
