Well my lovely Rabbit had a run-in with a trailer hitch yesterday on the highway. Now to be clear, I'm fine and the damage was limited to my car. Also, to be clear the trailer hitch was not attached to anything and was...
So not amused

Were the World Mine
I saw Were the World Mine this past Wednesday. I went in to the Kendal Square Landmark Cinema in Cambridge to see it with Jony and Dani. I was a bit worried because I have been looking forward to it so much I feared I'd be dissapointed. The wonderful thing was that it exceeded my expectations. Was it a perfect movie? No. Were there points that...

Musical? Shakespeare? Gay boys in love? I'm sooo there!
Ok, I've recently become obsessed with a new film coming out in Boston on Friday December 5. The story is about a boy, after being cast as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, who stumbles upon a hidden recipe within the script to make the play's love pansy, causing anyone to fall in love with the first person they lay eyes on. He proceeds to turn...

The Election
I'll admit, I'm not thrilled with exactly how Obama parses his gay rights stance, but at the very least he's not going out of his way to make things any worse. He just wants gays to have marriage light, as opposed to full marriage.McCain has voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in the past, saying its a state's issue, but then has supported...

Ahh sleep. I missed y...

Eye of the storm
Well it's currently in the break between the matinee and the evening performance. The hall is empty and I have the green room to myself for a time. It's quite peaceful and relaxing at the moment.Just a few more hours and what has taken over my life for the last 4 weeks (as it does every year) will be over. I always seem to reach a point in the process...

Home sweet home
I'm home safe and sound. I got in last night at Logan at about 8:30. After waiting for luggage, customs and auto travel, I got home at about 11. I'll update with info from London and other things later. For the moment I have 1060 emails to sort through, and that's just on my work email. Haven't yet gone through the 125 on my personal account....

Leaving Worcester
Well this is my last day in Worcester.Cate and her mom Betty came last night to the performance. While the performances weren't the most well attended the audience both nights had good praise for the show. Overall I think it came off well.I may have yet another crack at it as well, as John is planning a commercial recording next summer so I may just...

Your other left!
So one thing I still cannot get used to is the driving on the left thing, and I'm not even doing any driving. The main thing is that I keep having to do is pretty much relearn how to cross the street. After years of getting drilled into my head as a child to "look left, look right" it's a bit difficult to retrain myself to do the opposite order at...

Cheerio!
Well, today is the first day in England that hasn't' been part of traveling. I took off on Friday night and arrived Saturday morning.The flight was fairly uneventful, but we did end up leaving 1.5 hours late due to inclement weather. Thankfully we made up most of that time in the air and only arrived about 35 minutes later than planned.I flew standby...

So now what?
Well my primary reason for getting a PS3 in the next year is now officially gone. Final Fantasy 13 is going to be released on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. I guess at this point I really need to look at the options and see which one I really want and which ones has other titles I may want.I really figured I'd finally buy the PS3 for FF13, just as...

Shady things are happening in my loft
Well, that's not quite right. They aren't shades, they are blinds. Today I finally had blinds installed on my windows (the double cell honeycomb fabric style) and I don't know how I lived without them. Already my place feels cooler and there's much less glare. Life is go...

Inconceivable
So opening night of the Princess Bride was a success. My swordfight with Inego has never been better, and to top it all of we had a huge showing tonight for audience.Apparnetly it had something to do with the fact that a side column note about the show was in the Telegram and Gazette on the front page of the Living section above the fold.Here's the...

Running and running
So today I ran my first 6k race. I finished in 39 minutes. All-in-all given the 90+ degree heat and almost total lack of any shade I think I did well.I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been working up to this for a few months now and got a bit side-tracked this past month due to allergies hitting me hard for the first time ever. I was able to pull...

Lawmaker says gays are worse than terrorists
Every once and a while I begin to forget that as a gay man, I'm targeted. I forget at times that as a gay man there are people out there who fear me and hate me. This is one of those times I'm forced to remember.This clip was from Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern speaking to a Republican group. She says at one point:"I honestly think it's the...

The beauty of it all
So I both like and don't like flying. What I don't like is turbulence and the idea that artificial thrust and aerodynamic pieces of metal are the only think keeping the plane above ground. From time to time I think that the idea of standing against gravity is just sheer lunacy.On the other hand, when the plane is calmly soaring at its cruising altitude,...
And so it goes
Well, today I fly out from Oregon to Boston. The first real vacation I've taken in years is over. I vow to never let it go this long again before a vacation of some substance. Visiting Sean in Oregon was a nice end to the vacation. We got to hang out and get back in touch for the first time in ages. We saw National Treasure on DVD and then went...

Last Day in L.A.
So yesterday Colin and I went to the Grand Central Market where we got some fresh produce and walked around the city a bit. After that we headed home, got lunch and I got on a conference call for the board of the Glee Club Associates, our alumni group. That went well and we got the alumni concert planned.Following that, Kristin came home and we watched...

Top Chef
So yesterday was lots of fun, and very relaxing. We basically spent the day just lounging around the house and then C and K had their friends over for dinner. They have a dinner rotation and they got it for while I was here. I had promised to make my Chocolate Raspberry Bavarian Cake which was a huge hit by everyone. Honestly it's the best I've ever...

Fun in the sun
So today was a nice relaxing day. Kristin and I spent the morning at Redondo beach. I didn't go swimming because the water was too cold for my liking but that didn't stop a lot of other people from getting in as well as those where were surfing. It was nice I got some sun, got some exercise running along the water and was able to relax and read a book...
Like, Totally!
So once I landed Kristin had to go back to work and Colin wasn't home yet so I entertained myself a bit until about 3pm when they all got home. At that point we just hung out and watched "Legally Blonde: The Musical" which was a recording by MTV of the Broadway production. It was hilarious.Colin then took a nap since he had to head to work at 11 pm...

Oh my god you guys!
So I arrived in L.A. yesterday to visit Colin and Kristin. The flight left on time even with the snow coming down. The only thing that needed to be done was that the wings got de-iced. The flight was fairly uneventful with just minor turbulence from time to time. I slept off and on, otherwise I just read a book. What was really cool was to fly over...

Well let's break it down by the various typical areas:How's work? - Work is going well. I'm very adjusted...

Colin, what have you done to me...
Ok, today I was listening to the radio and heard the latest single from Cascada, a German dance music trio. The song was "What Hurts the Most", and as I listed to it I realized I had heard it before. As I found myself listing to this high-tempo dance/techno song, I ended up thinking, "Damn, the country version was so much better." (The version...
