A One Dog household

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Alas, Dr. Frankie has found a new home with a new family that can give her a big backyard to express that puppy spirit and a big brother who isn’t too old to adapt to that adolescent energy. We’ve enjoyed fostering Frankie, but she’s been growing so quickly that we feel bad putting her in [...]

Kiss the Cook

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Warning: this is a boring diary-like post about my day. It’s not witty or political or interesting. If you want entertainment, go visit Polt’s blog where I had a much more adventurous day in that “My hed iz pastede on yay!” sort of way. Since I had the day off, I spent much of yesterday [...]

Sneezin’ With Pride?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Not to reopen an ugly can of worms, but does anyone else think Cincinnati Pride is going to be pretty embarrassed if this swine flu emergency does spiral into a deadly, widespread pandemic? Of course, if millions are dying from the flu, I suppose an embarrassing pride theme is low on the list of problems [...]

Summer Begins?

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Tulips in Burnett Woods just off the Clifton/Ludlow entrance. Such ridonkulously nice weather this weekend, it makes me mad I agreed to substitute teach this weekend (but I could use the money). I spent most of yesterday melting on the public transit as I ran errands then hiding in my room to prep the lesson. [...]

Hate Church Hints at Mass Suicide

Friday, April 24th, 2009

What would it mean if the crazies at Westboro Baptist Church went all Jonestown/Heaven’s Gate on us? Via Joe.My.God, who got it from Gossip Boy, the infamous “God Hates Fags” church has posted a cryptic blog for April that might be interpreted as a sign the group has plans to drink the Kool-Aid or something: [...]

Things I don’t care about…

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

This has been an annoying week on the blogs and news. Here is a brief list of things about which I don’t care: World shocked that woman can sing despite being old and unattractive Beauty pageant reveals that pretty girls in swimsuits can be bigots Obnoxious and crude gossip blogger is easily offended and vindictive [...]

Short Reviews

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

It’s been a while since I shared my feedback on movies or books with which I have been distracting myself. From the Netflix and the library… Fling (Brandon Routh, Steve Sandvoss, Courtney Ford, Shoshana Bush; 2008; dir: John Stewart Muller) The story of things going right and wrong for a young couple in an open [...]

Bride of Music Monday

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Yup, in the mood for another Music Monday post. I hadn’t forgotten about them altogether, just have not been listening to a lot of new music lately. The theme of this post is interesting cover versions of popular songs. Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) covers “Such Great Heights” by the Postal Service. MP3 I [...]

Inked

Friday, April 17th, 2009

I got my first tattoo in Fall of 1999. I think I’m just about ready to get my second tattoo. Ultimately, I do want to get a tattoo on my upper left arm, but I have something very specific in mind and I’m not ready for it yet. In the meantime, I want to get [...]

The Hottest Guys

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Voting is open for the 2009 AfterElton.com Hot 100. It’s sorta like those sexist men lists you see in some magazines, but driven by gay/bi/queer men, and often reflects a very different aesthetic than the targeted-at-straight-women lists. If you’re a gay/bi/queer guy, I’m sure you don’t exactly need help coming up with your own top [...]
