Gay Day

Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week :

1. it's my saturday
2. it's my GAY DAY!!!

We get together at 8pm. First up is America's Next Top Model. Then there is some down time, filled with American Idol in the background while dinner is being cooked and consumed.

Next up is Make me a Super Model!!!  And, then capping of the night is Rupaul's Drag Race (that we watch from the computer).

Tonight was extra special because it was the season finale of Drag Race. I won't publicly congratulate the winner because if you haven't already I think you should watch the entire season (only 8 episodes!) on logo's website. I promise you won't regret it and once you start, you won't be able to stop!!

 

My Declaration

It's Good to be : Marc Herb

Who Knew?

Apparently, my mother is a huge American Idol fan. She votes for multiple people that she likes and keeps a chart to keep track of who she votes for each week so she can spread her votes out to the people she likes. Quite diplomatic!

Have You Ever--

--Sneezed while brushing your teeth?! 

I have JUST discovered it is THE worst thing EVER. I don't recommend it. AT ALL.

It's kind of like when you're drinking something and liquid gets up your nose, except it's a thick, frothy,(in my case,) minty disgustingness, not to mention painful! 

I'm able to be this descriptive because I can still feel it as I type. Ok, I'm over it : moving on with my day.

Loulou

You know you're at a birthday party in your thirties when there are children playing in the other room.

You know you are in LA when you meet a kid like Loulou. She's awesome, and, in my opinion, was one of the coolest guests at L & A's birthday celebration last night!

Ps : She also speaks fluent French

A Poem

I 

 am

   not 

      dead;

                    been

                    busy

           self

               re-

                 flect-

                      ing

                     back

                     NOW!

So L.A.

Today, I woke up, went to yoga, and then to therapy.

My therapist and I are working on incorporating structure in to my life. She also wants me to nurture my inner parent so that I can maintain self-discipline. She said I seem to operate on one of two roads: either the autobahn, going 90 mph or on gravely road with pot holes, barely moving. So, I'm trying to find the road on which I can move at a steady pace toward a specific goal. She used the example of running the L.A. marathon: "If a person wants to run the marathon, they can't just buy a cute outfit and cute shoes and run it; they have to train for it, build up to it." 

Or, as my good friend puts it, "you won't see the results if you don't do the work."

I Hate

First Date

J, Karin and I went to Grove on Sunday to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. Standing in line, we were talking about the fact that the movie wasn't doing that well in the box office; that Friday the 13th was going to trump the weekend, and that He's Just Not That Into You would beat Shopaholic even in it's second weekend. It was about this time that I looked behind us, and I saw Ginnifer Goodwin, also waiting in line. She saw me looking at her and we kept eye contact for about .5 seconds. She whispered to her date, "it's about to happen." I assume she thought I was about to talk to her, but that's not really my style. I just looked away and as soon as I could subtly make eyes at Karin to glance behind us, I did, and having known me so long, she was able to read my mind, and did, letting out a simple, audible, "mhm," with simultaneous head nod. The three of us had been talking earlier in the evening about how much we loved the movie, especially Ginnifer's character. Karin was even inspired to paint her nails purple because she loved the way it looked on Ginnifer when she was holding the pink phone. J heard the conversation, but didn't know who was speaking because there was no subtle way to have him turn around, as he was in the middle of Karin and I, who had easy side views. So, Karin and I stood there, bemused by the irony of it all, purple nails and all. We waited the rest of our time in line, in silence, eavesdropping. Clearly, based on their conversation, they were on a first date. She even asked, "Do mind if I get the movie?" 

Which makes me wonder, if you have to pay for a guy on the first date, is he really that into you?!
