After wrestling with insomnia for the last week or so, I pulled an all-nighter Wednesday night and finally got a full night sleep last night. I woke up early this morning because of a rather powerful electrical storm. Specifically, a clap of thunder that sounded very much like someone had thrown a large dumpster into [...]

In a stunning Midtown makeover, Mayor Bloomberg is expected to announce Thursday that traffic lanes along Broadway from 42nd to 47th streets and from [...]

As long as I’m unleashing my inner-13-year-old-girl-with-a-thing-for-animated-graphics on my blog (see previous post)… Buttars-Palooza is a response by the Utah queer community to those nasty comments of State Senator Chris Buttars I reported on last week. Although I sorta referenced it on my twitter feed, I haven’t blogged my response to the hand-slapping he got [...]

I bring you the very latest in celebrity gossip at the Oscars, an untold story that you heard here first. Powered by the magic of Blingee (it sparkles, so it must be good). It all started with a chance meeting on the red carpet between two hot boys… But hot boy #2 had to check [...]

If open houses went down like this commercial, I might show more interest in buying property some day.

Well, the red carpet rolls out in a few hours and I still haven’t written my big final Oscar blog. After all, I made a big deal out of trying to see all the films this year. With a few hours to go, here are my predictions (films I’ve seen are in bold, normal weight [...]

Hit “random” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 – Go to Quotations Page and select [...]

In a story from a Utah network, Utah State Senator Chris Buttars is once again managing to say the most vile, distasteful and offensive things without fear of reprisal. In interviews with a documentary crew, he manages to insult LGBT people, Muslims, and African-Americans. Excerpts from the story: Sen. Chris Buttars: “Homosexuality will always be [...]

I just finished watching Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway, the DVD recording of the final performance of the show at the Nederlander Theatre. I was hesitant to watch it as so many filmed stage versions have been less-than-spectacular, but I liked it. In fact, I prefer it to the movie version. While Anthony Rapp, Edina [...]

Okay, this whole “sleep through the daylight hours” thing I’ve been doing lately is not cute anymore.
