Waffle of the Gods
This morning I was a bit behind schedule getting out of the house – because I enjoy being asleep, and mornings bite the big one sideways. In my haste to slam the front door as loud and hard as I possibly could behind me, I not only forgot to grab my Netflick [...]
From The Cubical Survival Guide:

Sharon and Stephen and I were at the Film Forum on Houston the other night to see Todd Haynes amazing new film, I’m Not There: the fact-based but still highly-impressionistic Bob Dylan biopic starring Richard Gere, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and the recently departed Heath Ledger, among others. I’m guessing that Blanchett’s Golden Globe Award-winning/Academy [...]
Those of you who have a lot of stuff and junk gathering dust in your closets, garages, basements and attics might want to do a little house cleaning and see if your unwanted memorabilia could bring you a few bucks. This vintage, silk top hat orignally owned by Alice Cooper drummer Neal Smith and formerly worn [...]
Gene Hoglan is: The Godfather!
I took the day off work yesterday because I had to get some “personal business” taken care of this morning, and I knew I just wouldn’t feel like going into the office after that. So I stopped by Trader Joe’s for provisions on the way home and then spent the afternoon [...]

Man, 28 is just way too young to go, especially for someone who was as cute and talented as Heath Ledger. What a shame.
Continuing Education
This afternoon I had my mind completely blown by Damien Hirst ’s installation in the lobby of the Lever House in midtown: “School: The Archeology of Lost Desires, Comprehending Infinity and the Search for Knowledge.” Jesus god, this exhibit is just amazing. I can understand why some people – vegetarians and animal rights activists, [...]
”F-I-R-E-D!”
I tore myself away from the last five minutes of Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares (BBC version) last night so I could watch Gene Simmons get his arrogant, chauvinistic ass fired on Donald Trump’s latest public travesty, Celebrity Apprentice. I understand that the faux boardroom drama at the end of each episode is supposed to be [...]
“Oh, oh, I love it so…”
When Havana Chelsea closed last summer for “remodeling,” Geoffrey and I mourned and pouted for months that our favorite Cuban food diner/dive was lost to us forever. During our extended grieving process, we dined several times at the also-good-and-considerably-more-gay-friendly Cuba Cafe just a few blocks up the street, but the [...]
