Because someone had to do it…

Fake Harry Potter CoverFanfic writers away! I had a very productive day at work. The secret, begin the day with iPod earbuds in, don’t remove them until everything on the “must be finished today” list gets done. I’ve got all but one of my various tax documents in hand now, which means it’s almost time [...]

It’s how we roll…

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

George Takei wasn’t nearly as scary when I met him a few months ago. (And do you love the shameless way in which I name-dropped like that?) Loved the episode, but it’s not quite as cliffhanger-y as we’re used to. I also liked Studio 60 tonight, heavy on the angsty romance stuff, but had some [...]

A disjointed end-of-the-week smorgasbord

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Overheard at the Office Me: So, has anyone else seen the rumors in the blogosphere that Cheney is going to resign so that Bush can put Condoleezza Rice in as VP before the 2008 race? Coworker #1: There’s no way the Republicans will put a black lesbian in the White House. Coworker #2: Condy is [...]

SotU Thoughts…

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Not to diminish the experience of anyone whose life was affected by 9/11… but it’s been 5 years! Is that really still the most pressing issue to discuss in the State of the Union? And why did no one point out to me that I’d be, y’know, here while this happened. Like, I could run [...]

Wow, it’s just like on teevee…

I made it to DC. By the time I got checked in to my hotel, it was almost midnight last night. Despite that, the cute gay boys I sat next to on the plane told me I had to go visit JR’s on Monday night. It’s showtune night. So, as a duty-bound homo, I wandered [...]

Pre-weekend Briefing

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

TGIF! Wrapped up two big time-consuming projects today. Of course, there will be 3-4 new ones when I get back in the office. I have the date tomorrow. First actual date I’ve had in a good long time. It sounds pretty intense, too. Dinner plans are at 6, but we’re meeting up at 2 to [...]

And I’ll answer without using the N-word analogy…

A CNN Poll is asking the question… “Grey’s Anatomy” controversy: Should Isaiah Washington be fired over the alleged gay slur? Honestly, I probably would have said no before Washington’s boneheaded interview at the Golden Globes. Frankly, Washington could have answered the question without repeating that particular word, and I would love to see the show [...]

Dream a little dream

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Just in case you don’t remember me bitching about it way back in 2005, or have never spoken to someone on the patch, one of the most unusual side effects of wearing these things are the dreams. Here’s wikipedia’s note on the topic: Patches are intended to be worn for twenty-four hours at a time, [...]

Truth in Politics

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

We had a bit of a run-in with the HRC today. We’re taking some initiative to promote a particular piece of legislation, and they got their panties in a bunch. Admittedly, we made a few mistakes in the promotions effort, but they were honest mistakes and we were trying to fix them. Anyway, in the [...]

Thoughts for MLK day

Monday, January 15th, 2007

So, I’m working from home today on my “holiday.” I meant to get up and hit the gym early and work from an internet cafe, but the laundry basket demanded some attention, so I’ve been trying to get work done from my room despite the distractions of television and the mindset of being at home. [...]
