What do you say to taking chances?
So it's certainly unlike any high school experience I've ever heard of, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have wanted my high school experience to be like it, but I cannot get enough of Fox's Glee. Pure, unparalleled, unadulterated fun. I can't in my wildest dreams imagine how it ever got greenlit, but I am so glad it did. And I have to give major ( Read more... ) -
On the Verge of Something Wonderful
So the Barnes & Noble Criterion sale ended on Monday. In all, I made 2 store trips and 3 online orders. Kinda crazy, I know. But dear, sweet Lord, is it worth it!
As a reminder...
FIRST STORE TRIP:
Brazil (3-Disc Set) - Divorce Italian Style - Heaven Can Wait - The Lady Eve - Last Year at Marienbad - La Strada - Magnificent Obsession - Mon Oncle - My ( Read more... ) -
THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
OK, well, maybe not really, BUT... last week Barnes & Noble announced that, through August 3, Criterion Collection DVDs would be 50% off. Add on to that coupon discounts and member discounts, and these magnificent films can be yours for close to 70% off in some cases!
I nearly had a heart attack.
You see, I love movies. Like, LOVE movies. And I love ( Read more... ) -
Only way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection
I am growing restless at work. And not for lack of anything to do. Isn't that weird? I have plenty that I can and should be doing, but I'm completely restless and find myself unable to do any of it starting at like 4:00 every day. And then, at about 5:20, I work myself up into a tizzy trying to get all the things done that I should have gotten done ( Read more... ) -
Artistic Differences... He saw himself as alive, and I saw him DEAD
So I haven't updated in a damn long time, which to the casual viewer might take as a sign that all has been well in my life. Quite the contrary. I've been feeling very Vonnegut "so it goes" lately; shit happens, but life goes on and it doesn't do any good to give it more than a moment's notice. I have come to terms with the fact that my job sucks, ( Read more... ) -
2007: Reflections on the Year That Was
So today, January 15, marks my six-month anniversary with Stephen. Which kind of scares me a little. Mostly because, when we started this thing, I didn't expect it to last very long. But over time, I grew to really love him. And now, I can't imagine my life without him. Well, I can, but… well… let's say I can't imagine my current life without him. ( Read more... ) -
I'm Not Ready to Make Nice
Ever since we are old enough to talk, our family, our teachers, and our spiritual leaders try to put one big life lesson into our heads: Play nice with others. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Be a good person, they tell us, and good things will come to you.
This is bullshit.
I'm a nice guy. A good man. I treat those around me ( Read more... ) -
Share and Share Alike
I think I'm going to start a lending library. Or an exchange program. Or something of that nature. I say this because in the past couple of weeks, I have either given out, promised to give out, or been asked to give out quite a few of my books, DVDs, and CDs. I certainly have more than enough. And this would be an excellent project to occupy my ( Read more... ) -
Crazy, no?
I am sitting here, taking a break from packing because I am moving. Moving away from home, away from my Dad, away from all the craziness of that mess. I am moving in with my lover of the past three months, who happens to be twice my age and my mom's best gay friend, and who I am also doing a show with, along with my mom, who does not know we are ( Read more... ) -
Could've been so beautiful, could've been so right
So the local rag's review of Earnest came out today. I am not going to post even a link to it here, as frankly, I would quite like to forget it. After, of course, I have my way with the critic here.
The review criticized me for being too over-the-top, with excessive tics. First of all, I would quite like to know what "tics" he was referring to, as I ( Read more... )
