My Gay Golden Age
I think it's coming on. And you know what has made me much more gay lately? Not a stint writing for a gay paper. Not getting married, no. Television. Television has made me much more gay. You know, I don't watch television. In fact, I very much fear that someday Swamp Rat will want to get cable. She got it when the Pope was threatening to ( Read more... ) -
I Was a Media Critic
But my fame became a prison. So I left L.A., changed my name and moved to the hills of Vermont, where I wear only hand-knit sweaters, like Samantha Morton in "Minority Report ( Read more... ) -

Can Someone Please Explain Jazz to Me Because I Do Not Understand It
Swamp Rat & I have this friend who is a famous jazz guitarist. In fact, she's so famous I'm going to tell you her real name. I've seen her play and, yes, she is amazing.

Secret Agent Cathy: Chic L.A. Lesbian
Have I mentioned that I don't watch TV? But let me tell you. Swamp Rat rented 14 hours of "The L Word," and suddenly it's all so clear: YES, SHANE IS INCREDIBLY HOT!

But it was very slow and sort of disjointed, and the audience seemed to find it a bit funnier than it perhaps was intended to be. At least nobody laughed during the preview of "Brokeback ( Read more... ) -
Not Like They'll Print It Anyway
Edit: See edit.
Dear Boston Globe:
I was interested to read your Sept. 16 article reporting that the YMCA of Greater Boston has decided not to build a facility on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. This is especially disappointing since the YMCA last year sold its historic building on Huntington Avenue to Northeastern University. The YMCA says it will ( Read more... ) -

ConCon Part Deux
AAAAAAUUUGHHRRRRRGGG! It starts again on September 12.
Maybe someday this will all be over and the above link will lead to a page of same-sex PTA meeting schedules. I don't even know what I mean by that, as Marc Maron says. He said something else I liked today: "I didn't even know about it until I read the article, which is why they have ( Read more... )
