A friend recently posted his most weep-worthy movie moments, and I realized I don't have that many. But television? Christ, when am I NOT crying?

I know there are others, but I don't watch "Lost" or "Torchwood" so this will have to do. Grab your hankies and give me yours.… Read full post »

I'm going away this weekend, so carry on without me, INTERNET.

But as you've already likely heard, this weekend, at precisely 12.01 Saturday, we have the power to break the entire worldwide web in the mad scramble for FB usernames and their subsequent prettied up urls.

In other words, it's testing the limits of what we will endure. As my friend Maura says, "The joke continues to be on us." Hard to find another explanation for a clothing company that has a "bloomers" department.

"Ultra-chic (and comfy!), the Harem pant is made of our soft Cotton… Read full post »

"I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” says Lambert, in the new Rolling Stone.

Can anybody think of a celebrity outing that really was a shocker? Has there been a "That guy? Shut UP!" moment, ever, really?

Anyway, although… Read full post »

I smell a zeitgeist!

Surely it means something for the Mac maniacs among us that yesterday Apple announced it new OS, the "allow me to introduce you to my Native American spirit guide" Snow Leopard.

Snow Leopard promises to rock out Safari (although it would have to kick considerly more butt… Read full post »

When people ask me why I live in New York, I tell them, for the gay ice cream.

Finally, something that combines my love of homosexuals, disco, bacon, and frozen confections.

Rainbow sprinkles, serious tunes, and the promise of sea salt and Nutella flavors, all from a guy who admits, ""Let's… Read full post »

From the good folks at Knockin Knuckles for Knchange.

Although the bump has always been with us, it's been one year today since the bump felt round the world, to the shock of some.

You file for a little bankruptcy protection, you crank out a new ad. That is how GM rolls! The spot has already debuted on Facebook and YouTube;  it premieres on television tomorrow.

My elder kid is currently going through a hardcore, early morning reruns of "Saved by the Bell" thing.

(For obvious reasons, she is forbidden from googling "Elizabeth Berkley" and "Dustin Diamond.")

Well, obviously she's a freedom hating pinko.

In her 1976 Princeton yearbook, Supreme Court nominee Sondra Sotomayor quotes socialist thinker Norman Thomas:

I love the Amazon reviewers. I love what they've done with milk. And I particularly enjoy what they've had to say of late about the mag-ic-al Three Wolf Moon shirt.

Very funny and deeply wise words to to the Tulane Class of Katrina. Works even if you aren't 22 or trying to keep down "20 shots of tequila." Who else can quote the Pussycat Dolls and make it so honest and real?

It's fitting that the preview for "Glee" aired the night of my five year old's spring revue.

Because Farrell's is fabulous fun!

If you are of a certain age (aka mine), you know about Farrell's. It was an ice cream parlour shoppe back in the day, a place that combined a gay nineties sensibility with disco era overload. In short, the place was like Studio 54 for nine… Read full post »
