So guess where I might be celebrating my birthday this year?  Come on,  guess.

If you guessed the Spice Girls reunion concert on Long Island with Steph, you'd be right.

(And yes, I know it's beyond sold out.  Steph has a friend who has extra tickets.)

But, !!!!!!!!  I really do hope this plan works out.  That would be a pretty phenomenal birthday.

I've been wanting to write about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but there's really not much to say.  I'm in one of those slumps where I can't find spirituality no matter what I ( Read more... )

...here's what I have to say about Across the Universe:

Across the Universe says absolutely nothing new about the 1960s, Vietnam, hippies, artists, the anti-war movement, or the civil rights movement.  Considering the complete lack of plot and character development and motivation, it doesn't really say much at all about anything.

At some point soon, I’m going to write something long and thought-out about why I believe the current gay rights movement is in trouble, or at least headed in the wrong direction.  But this came to my attention today, and I feel the need to talk about it.

So as many of you probably know, in early August, the Human Rights Campaign and Logo hosted a ( Read more... )

I'll tell you this much -- nobody rocks out like Meat Loaf does.

Anders and I saw him in concert last night.  And it was NUTS.  Strobe lights, inflatable dolls, video projections, ridiculous '70s costumes, the two hottest back-up singers I've ever seen, a surprisingly impressive band, and the man himself.  We were behind two hilarious middle-aged ( Read more... )

I don’t know how many of you have seen the film Chasing Amy.  I think I saw it for the first time when I was thirteen or fourteen - definitely before I was out, but definitely after I had started consciously thinking about women sexually.  There’s this one monologue in the film that is spoken by Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams) right after she and Holden ( Read more... )

On Saturday, Steph, Erin, and Keri and I took our annual trip to Provincetown.  It was, as usual, a wonderful experience.  (I had a terrible cold and felt like death the entire time, and yet it was still awesome because that's how special P-Town is.)  I hope that next summer we'll be able to make it an overnight trip (like we did the times we went ( Read more... )

All I want to say is this:

Tonight, Anders and I went to see Hairspray.  I've yet to see the original John Waters film or the stage musical.  That being said, I really do believe that this was one of the best cinematic adaptations of a musical I've ever seen (I'm talking about in this new trend of musical movies, not counting older classics like ( Read more... )
