Who needs CNN Headline News (or Fox News, for that matter) when I have friends like mine?

...I should elaborate. But trust me, if you don't know what's going on, you're gonna be lost. I make a seemingly innocuous, off-the-cuff remark to my boss about a week ago (due to my rambling to get myself out of a situation that was unrelated to the remark). ( Read more... )

My Contemporary GLBT class is like a dream come true. Today we discussed the book Dancer From the Dance (which, by the way, I highly recommend--it's a great look at 1970's gay disco culture and the evolution of Fire Island) and how it's almost a gay version of The Great Gatsby. We also talked at length about the influence of Oscar Wilde, irony, and ( Read more... )

You know how a day can go from amazing to meh...to bad...to god-awful...to "hey, it's not so bad, after all", all in the span of a few hours?

I had one of those days today. For reasons that shall remain nameless for the time being, I woke up in a very good mood. Ridiculously good. Anyway, then Michael and I visited a friend in the hospital, and ( Read more... )

So, yes. My Dare Challenge fic. Here it is, cross-posted as promised:

So...I'm not dead. (Related: don't you just hate it when people make those "I'm totally not dead, keep reading my LJ" posts? Well, I'm kind of making one, sorry.) Anyway, this is the first chance I've had to do anything more than quickly check my email at my computer in over a week. Last Saturday was move-in for my new apartment-style dorm (which I ( Read more... )

My roommate is visiting her family on the West Coast this week, so I have the apartment to myself. It's still so weird to say that I live in an apartment, and it's mine. I mean, yes, it's a sublet, but for right now? It's mine. That just strikes me as odd.

The funny thing is, I'm only here for another week. I leave Sunday, and then it's back to ( Read more... )

*points to subject line* I realized this when the thought actually crossed my mind that it would be awesome if Regina Spektor wrote a song about motherfuckin' snakes on a motherfuckin' plane. Yeah. It seems I've got a bit of a one-track mind once I'm set on something, but this fact shouldn't be any surprise to anyone who's known me for more than ( Read more... )

Hmmm, today was a good day. I only had to work a half-shift at work (yay non-stupid trainees who make it so I can leave early without feeling guilty, hee hee), and after that I came home I made spaghetti. I also did a bit of writing--a new segment about bisexuality and life and whatnot that will hopefully mesh with the other stories I'm writing ( Read more... )

I was in an extremely bad place last night, in a non-literal kind of way. Work was a living Hell--I had to deal with eight hours' worth of rude, racist, and downright insane customers. I'd only been at work for a few hours when I went up to this table of African American women to take their orders (normally I wouldn't specify the race of the ( Read more... )

Has megaupload been wonky for anybody else lately? When I try to go get something there it'll often stay on the megaupload screen for a second and then re-direct me to various places (usually the Itunes music store--quoi?). I spent a good twenty minutes trying to get to the file I wanted to download the other day trying to beat the re-direct by ( Read more... )
