Stories from a man who fails to meet media expectations of what it means to be gay:
white, frivolous, over sexed yet sexless, shrill, single, stylish, a clown, unimportant, et al.

It speaks again
I am speaking again and since I no longer sound like a seventy year old who has spent the past fifty years chain smoking, I�m guessing that the surgery worked.
I had a week off from work �cause of the surgery and I had a vague idea that I was going to get a lot work done around the house. Hehe, boy was that foolish of me. I did move some plants around, and rearrange both the upper and middle patios, but other than some yard work, I got very little accomplished this past week.
I did however, succeed in wasting a lot of time while stuck at home not talking.
I spent time reading assorted comic strip collections of Dilbert, and Dykes to Watch out for. I also managed to plow through a couple of silly mystery novels by Michael Craft.
When I wasn�t sitting on the couch with a cat on my lap reading, I was lying on the couch watching television, or more specifically, dvd�s. I wasted time watching stuff like:
24 Nights (quirky, low budget, very predictable, but sort of enjoyable gay romance flick)
Forgive and Forget (another gay flick, also predictable, but not so much enjoyable as annoying)
The Dish (amusing)
Utena (Japanese anime)
A Very Natural Thing (very seventies)
Diva (I�ve lost track of how many times I�ve watched it)
And most of the Twin Peaks first season collection (a Christmas gift and more proof of my geekyness)
Some people use their sick time off from work to work on interesting projects. I just turn into a media junkie. OK, maybe not that extreme, but still...
It�s been amusing watching the speed that Ron�s blogger code has torn through the blogger community. It�s been laugh out loud funny watching the frenzy that has resulted from people trying to figure out who exactly have been um, extra friendly with each other.
I would only be a �x-.� Which is not to say that there are not certain, say cute folks out there who are certainly tempting, it�s just that I�m
I started speaking again on Saturday (01/12/02), which was good, since John and I had dinner with some of the monsters (His college friends) for a belated birthday celebration.
We met at Donald�s place, which involved driving into the most crowded section of Sunset Blvd., turning on a small, teeny street, then working up through a maze of other twisty, steep hill streets. By the time we ran out of street and nearly out of hill, we were at his new place.
Donald rents the old maids quarters of a house in the hollywood hills. His place is tiny, but it had huge views. Humongous views. Los Angeles was spread out before us, only stopping in the far distance for the ocean.
It was very beautiful, and very hollywood I guess. He has entertainment lawyers and television reporters for neighbors.
Dinner was a famous Mexican place in Weho that I forget the name of. Gardens of something or another. The food was good, if a little pricey for what we got. Conversations that night covered everything from mortgages to day care, and from retirement plans to all boy naked pool parties. Um, not that any of us had ever been one.
I don�t think I�m attractive enough to invited to such a thing. Oh well, big loss �-)
more later,
