Facebook, Yearbook, Lyricbook
Since my entire high school class has friend-requested me on Facebook in the last week, I was inspired to thumb through the 1990 MAHISCAN (i.e. yearbook, for which I was the layout editor ( Read more... ) -
Night in the city
Well, I am having a tough time winding down from last night's shift here in the mean City of Angels. Some guy flipped out because he was tired of waiting, threw a phone at the other doctor and was immediately tackled by our rather stocky and sporty female unit clerk. Ultimately we got him under control, but not before she put him in a half nelson ( Read more... ) -
Red, gold, black and blue
Biked over to Chinatown tonight to hop the Gold Line up to Pasadena for dinner with

ENDA - not just an anagram of your great aunt's name anymore
Had a tough night at work last night - not that the workload was that bad, but I was exposed to alot of people in the medical profession behaving in a less than altruistic way towards eachother and towards patients. Thank god I was completely outside of this drama, but the bad vibes spill over everywhere in the pressure cooker I work in and it ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Elaine and I saw the movie "Wackness" tonight. It was a rather cliche treatment of the whole lonely midle aged schmuck/lonely and lost recent high school graduate/screw up of an immasculate dad thing .... but done over the backdrop of 1994-ish early-Guiliani era NYC. I have to say, I am a sucker for these period-piece type films where the ( Read more... ) -
Transploitation film
Still reeling from the unbelieveable "She's a Boy I Knew" (www.artflick.com) by Gwen Haworth which screened at Outfest last week - finally, a non-sexualized, non-tragic tale of a queer 30-something transwoman and her family made BY A TRANSWOMAN. Blunt, honest, innocent, and not a single montage of those stupid images of putting on lipstick or ( Read more... ) -
Well, now I am one of THOSE people
Took the Metro (Red Line to Vermont/Santa Monica, 720 Rapid to Santa Monica/La Cienega) to WeHo for some din-din... SO much fun to watch all of those suckers looking for parking for their SUV's.
Sparing the details, I had a very awkward run in with a certain someone I did not at all expect to see while dining at a certain West Hollywood organic ( Read more... ) -
Self reflections can be alarming
Riding on my mini-jaunt this afternoon before heading over via subway to see the amazing "She's a Boy I Knew" at Outfest, I had a rather alarming incident.
Coming down a rather precarious stretch of Temple St. just west of Downtown I saw a wide-open sidewalk ahead down the hill and hopped onto it for a couple of blocks, to avoid some rather ( Read more... ) -
I need a pickup... er... cleanup in aisle 4!
Well, the new mega-Ralphs they opened here downtown always seems to be a gay mecca. And by gay I mean men. I mean, the place is dripping with fags - customers, employees, hell the guy who delivers all the Diet-Rite. The deli guy always likes to bitch to me about the "queens" who come in a make a big fuss about how thin he slices their turkey. ( Read more... ) -
Sidebars, Handlebars, Dyke Bars
So now I am back from a bike ride and have been thinking alot about my last post. Bike rides do that to you: Make you think. Especially when it is your first post-op bike ride and you were wishing that your sports bra was made out of iron.
I've made an edit to the beginning part of my last post which I though was cruial to my point. And as a ( Read more... )
