  • That past weekend I visited my family in Ft. Lauderdale, where I finally came out to them. No, not as "a gay", as one of my new co-workers so eloquently put it (she is Japanese, after all), as my folks have known that I…

  • GIMME A T... Last night, after losing to my mother by 4 and 11 points, respectively, in the previous two nights' Scrabble contests, I annihilated her by 130 points. The writing was on the wall from the start, when I op…

  • Today's Pet Peeve is brought to you by the letter F and the number 8: People who use the term "over" when they mean "more than". Por Ejemplo: "There are over 13 species of shark in the Mandalay Bay hotel's shark tank.…

  • The Passion of The Gibson is igniting the ire of our friends across the pond. The commentary is pointed and brilliant.

  • Today I was invited to participate is the very exclusive Zagat Survey. Clearly I'm doing something right.

  • David informed me today that when one searches for dick mitten on Google, my euphemism for our esteemed Attorney General, my site is the fifth result. It made me laugh, though I'd hoped the real dick mitten's webpage wo…

  • It occurred to me yesterday, as I was watching a promo for NBC's The Apprentice, on which I am hooked, juxtaposed with the news of allegations from former National Security Advisor Richard Clarke that GWB was fixated on …

  • The dead rise up and slay Jesus; film at 11.

  • I'm not even halfway through watching The WB's High School Reunion, and it occurred to me that if breaking up is hard to do, growing up seems to be even harder. I watched the first "season" of this show, and it was mild…

  • Perhaps this is why there's no President Gore. Seems his home state of Tennessee is up to its old tricks again. This time they want to make it illegal to be gay! As if such a thing were possible. And in a related unr…

  • I'm not sure how the French's affinity for Senator Kerry bodes for his presidential aspirations, but I sure will be interested to see how many world leaders start coming forward, tacitly if not outrightly, for a "regime …

  • Tonight I rewatched The Rules of Attraction, based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel by the same name. I loved it the first time, when I was one of the six people who saw it in the theater. After this viewing I realized w…

  • Today, whilst catching up with my dear friend Andrea Marcovecci, I wondered aloud, "Why is Jayson Blair's incompetence rewarded, while mine is not?" Is it the black thing? Is it the lying thing? I wish someone would t…

  • As a brief follow-up to yesterday's post, Angela astutely noted that there are too many of the "wrong people" out there. Chances of meeting the right one are slim - even moreso in Los Angeles where one always has to won…

  • I'M ATTRACTED TO THE WRONG PEOPLE Tonight I feel I generally stay away from guys because, like everyone else on Earth, I'm afraid of getting hurt, and quite frankly, I just don't have the time for it. Responses to my…

  • YOU'RE SORRY? WELL THAT MAKES IT ALL BETTER! Since when is "sorry" the remedy for, well, anything? "I'm sorry" is the biggest crock since the idea of immaculate conception. To illustate my point, I would like to pres…

  • Bill Maher made a funny remark on his show, amidst one of his witty rants, speaking about gay marriage, and how, as a compromise, we should only allow it for lesbians, "because let's face it, no one minds the girl on gir…

  • Steve Martin finally has something funny to say - and it's about Mel's new Jebus flick. In last week's New Yorker Magazine, Martin opines that the film could use a new title, Lethal Passion perhaps? In the very same …

  • Reviewing the Employee Manual for my job, I've discovered that excused time from work varies, depending on which relative kicks the bucket. Parents are valued the highest, at five excused days, while grandparents garner…

  • John Ashcroft, the Miserable Failure's dick mitten, is in the hospital, hopefully in plenty of pain. It seems Herr Ashcroft has some sort of problem involving his pancreas and gallstones. I'm rooting for the gallston…

  • JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE... ...to shop at URBAN OUTFITTERS, lo and behold, it's not...unless you want your money going to right-wing extremists like Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA).Read the story for yourself.If y…

  • Kudos to David and <gasp> to Newsday for uncovering this little gem for me, and now you: According to the aforementioned, if you type "miserable failure" into Google, the number one search result is the bio page f…

  • FINALLY, MY BIG BRUSH WITH MEDIOCRITY It was supposed to happen months ago - my work had a gay & lesbian event with some of television's "reality stars", like that's not an oxymoron. Among those to be present was J…

  • THE BEST WASTE OF TIME SINCE FRIENDSTER According to Match.com's Physical Attraction Test, this is my ideal boyfriend. If any of you out there knows him or knows where I might find him, please contact me immediately,…

  • OH SWEET IRONY! Average Joe: Hawaii began with former beauty queen Larissa Meek being ambushed by the schadenfreude that is reality television. Meek was shocked to find that her eligible bachelors were not quite as, we…

  • HA-HA TODD IS TIED UP AT THE MOMENT, SO LET'S PAUSE FOR A MOMENT WHILE SEMI-SERIOUS TODD RANTS: I wrote the following letter to a friend in the heat of anger towards him. After following the advice I give to others, wh…

  • I find that, even though I own the DVD, I often only watch, or rewatch a film if it is on television at the time I'm flipping channels. Such was the case again tonight when I came upon one of my favorite films - Michael…
