I haven't updated in a long while, but that is mainly due to the fact that I couldn't think of much to say. I was interviewed for a segment on a PBS show about LGBT representation on television (Carson, Thom, and Ted are on it, too), but I'm not sure when that's supposed to air. Sometime this month. I think it depends on where you live, really. Queer Eye For The Straight Guy has the season premiere on Tuesday, so I get to be vain and admire myself on television again, and this time I get to do it with Carson beside me! It'll be a battle to see who can achieve the biggest ego! But this is all stuff I'm babbling on about in my professional life. What about my personal life?
Well, as a JOKE, a JOKE, on Christmas I bought Carson one of those Boohbah things that Thom hates. Now I understand why he hates them. That thing is surgically attached to Carson. I thought he would hate it. I think he did hate it at first. But now it's his buddy. I made the mistake of getting one of the dancing and singing ones, too. So every morning I am greeted by the sound of Boohbah and a lot of alien sounds. It makes it hard to meditate, lemme tell ya.
Queer Eye For The Straight Girl is coming on, too, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I will admit it bothers me that the people on the show aren't experts like the five of us are. I will admit it bothers me a little that a carbon copy of our show is going to be out there. I'm concerned that any negative press about Straight Girl will hurt Straight Guy. Still, I feel wrong to say all of this, like I'm being bitter or not giving them a chance. Of course I want them to be successful and of course I knew this was probably going to happen at some point, but... oh, I don't know. Nevermind. I'm almost tempted to go back and erase this whole paragraph.
Now I'm going to go see if I can find Carson's Boohbah and toss it out the window. An intervention is definitely in order.
