Every decade or so comedy itself changes. Things that were funny 10 years ago are nostalgic but they don’t scream that phrase which is now a staple in the comic community – now THAT’S awkward. Zingers are now a thing of the past. Punchlines are out the window. From the awkwardly nerdy Liz Lemmon of 30 Rock and – of course – the awkwardly idiotic Sarah Silverman entertainment has embraced this off the wall style as it’s new standard. They take their every day lives and accentuate the odd and embarrassing points, you know, like the missed hug/handshake scenario, the […]
Hop a train… (random editorial just to keep my mind sharp)
So the day after my “me date” to the Bitch + The Exciting Conclusion concert a couple nights ago I decided to take a mini-me vacation to the big city of Austin TX for yet another B+TEC concert. I know it’s repetitive but I’m telling ya, The Bitch puts on an amazing show! So I hopped a train. It was a smooth little 4 hour trip, I filled it with like a season of 30 Rock and that newer Final Fantasy movie that makes me cry *every* time. I really just unwound, you know? I had never been on a […]
it’s drunk and I’m 2:30
Tonight my favorite indie musician Bitch played with her band The Exciting Conclusion at the local lesbian mega-dive “Sue Ellen’s”. Even though I have seen that girl perform a few times before she never ceases to amaze me. To set up the stage I was there by myself. I was on a “me date”. The friend I was going with ditched out on me so instead of just saying screwit and staying home I decided to take myself out, PAY for parking, BUY myself dinner, and GET MYSELF AT LEAST A LITTLE DRUNK and maybe take advantage of myself. Which […]
Rise Above to Defeat Prop 8
As we ride out the wave of this recent political upheaval and await the next we’re faced with a storm of issues that many consider minor. As we welcome in a new commander in chief we’re all faced with a number of “prayers” so to speak of; wishes we want granted and rights we want acknowledged. Since time began there has always been a social underdog, we just happen to be at a point in history where being gay means that we are the ones that must now overcome adversity. To many overcoming adversity means gaining acceptance from a world […]
Dan and Roseanne Conner’s Floor Plan – updated
I guess from many of my posts you would think that I’m obsessed with Roseanne. And yes, that may be a little bit true. Roseanne is the one show that after several decades of being on television I can still sit down and watch no matter what time of day or season.
Fat and grease slathered on a solid carb bun…
It’s currently 8am and I’ve been awake since 6 so considering I didn’t go to bed until 2 I would say that my insomnia has definitely kicked back up. Every morning around this hour I watch Lucy and am perpetually surprised by their blunt demonstration of domestic violence. What a jackass Ricky was! Fred would have never DARED lay a hand on Ethyl but you know that Cuban motherfucker beat the shit out of that poor redhead woman on the daily. He must have had some GOOD dick though because she loved the hell out of him. The past few […]
The Death of the Christian Right…
Last night we all watched and participated in a monumental moment in history. No, I don’t mean the whole “black president” thing. What I’m talking about is the beginning of the end for the Christian Right. What is the Christian Right beyond an outdated means of saying you’re superior without giving any real reason or motivation for that superiority? It’s a symbol. It’s a symbol of more than Christianity; in fact it has nothing to do with religion what so ever. It has to do with power and those who hold it, and it appears that power has now shifted. […]
Vote Today!
For the past 6 months or so since the candidates were announced I’ve been waking up virtually in a cold sweat worried that McCain may win the race. Today that will hopefully be put to rest. I can’t help it, the election’s totally drawn me in. I resisted but I’m an American IE creature of influence so here I am watching the news instead of I Love Lucy. I don’t think Good Morning America will beat Roseanne at my 8am election… Anyway, I think the “big guns” that each candidate pulls out at the last minute are fun. It’s usually […]
I know what boys like… 3 convincing FTM’s.
About a year or two ago I caught a documentary on Logo called “Transamerica” which fallowed several people through their gender reassignment process. Although I was extensively intrigued there was one section that really disturbed me… At one point in the movie two female-to-males were giving their stories. They were both living as full-time men and were fairly attractive men at that. As I watched the documentary the two started to wrestle and I will admit there was a definite stir in my nether regions… “HOLY SHIT,” I thought, “What was that?” I didn’t know what to think of my […]
Haunted House with Ghostly Take Out – Happy Halloween!
Last night, to celebrate Dias De Los Muertos proper I went to the Reindeer Manor haunted house. I definitely recommend, this is the first haunted house that’s offered take out… This has to have been one of the coolest haunts I’ve been to. Given my true love for haunted houses was just sparked this year and I don’t have a lot to compare it to I was totally blown away. The property is out in the woods which are introduced by a hay ride to hell from the parking lot to the actual haunt grounds setting a truly frightening stage […]
