TIME.com: The Devil Wears Thin -- Page 1


You can't even blame the filmmakers for mounting a seemingly ludicrous defense of Runway and its ilk. They have Miranda say that what her rag proposes as ultra chic one year eventually trickles down to Wal-Mart, where , in knock-off form, it makes everyone a little happier. This struck me as a pretty desperate rationalization.


Although he makes some good points, I don't agree with Richard Schickel's review on "The Devil Wears Prada."



An "exclusive interview" with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Patricia Field, the costume designer for Sex and the City.


Quickie Redesign


I'm happy with the new look. My old design was a template that didn't incorporate comments or trackbacks, and I didn't want to spend the time figuring out how to do that, so instead I chose a newer template until I find the time to design the site myself. But that may not be for awhile; I don't have the time right now, and I am happy with this new look.

Generation Blah


According to this article I am apart of Gen Y. OMG OMG OMG LOL I am officially depressed.


Ford Shifts Its Focus Away From Hybrid Vehicles - New York Times


This is so frustrating... now the American automakers are creating a dependency on grain alcohol instead of puruing and investing in electric cars. Maybe ethanol is a waste product. I am so ignorant on this subject, but it's something to look into.



Another article on the subject.


Mama Lesbian and Daddy Fag


This just burns me up!



The board instituted the ban in 1999, saying children should be in traditional two-parent homes because they would be more likely to thrive.


Most fucked up single parent homes originate from the two-parent model, so the article's point is ridiculous. Do they have statistics or case studies to back up their claims? The Right always cries "this only makes the children suffer" yet clearly it's the children who are suffering when good homes are available yet they are set adrift in the foster care system.



I am so thankful that my last permanent placement in foster care was a stable environment, where I didn't have to worry about cockroaches burrowing in my ears.



Yay! More state-sanctioned hate.


That's Still Around?


While looking up bus schedule information on sdcommute.com, imagine my surprise to notice the "Threat Advisory" notice in the left navigation panel. Does America still do this? It was a huge thing back in 2002, but I haven't heard much of this since. I remember a Whoopi episode where the main comedic topic was the ever-changing threat level. There was a time period where there were daily annoucements as paraphrased here: "I don't know who, I don't know where, I don't know when, but soon, somewhere, somehow, something is gonna happen."

Damn it the wrong Bush is moving.


A Tangled Web

Not quite sure what to think about Keira Knightly's Jaw , though there are some witty incidents: Heather Mills' leg running off after finding out about Heather's alleged porn past. Wasn't aware Keira's jaw was so prodigious. Regardless, Al-Zarqawi's Mom's Blog and The God Blog are hillarious. Particularly divine are the random missives from Jesus.

Move over, Soon-Yi


Who cares if Woody Allen finds Scarlett Johansson sexy; he married the adopted daughter of his former lover, Mia Farrow. Anything resembling a fetus must make Mister hot!



I'd do SJ, and I'm gay.


ABC News: Andy Roddick Serves up Tirade Against 'Man Bags'


Please, Andy Roddick lost all anti-metrosexual musings when he began dating bubblegum princess Mandy Moore.


The Blog | Robert Schlesinger: Gay Superman Burns a Flag | The Huffington Post


Great essay and subsequent discussion on how the GOP uses bait and switch tactics with the public, using non-issues to distract from the more important ones.



A couple examples come to mind, both national and local in scope. There are so many other pressing, more important issues than these trivial items. Money is being wasted and could be better spend on fighting homelessness, AIDS, terrorism, etc.



Here's a KPBS article on the Mt. Soledad cross issue.

More Confirmation that Falwell is an Idiot

I love the huffington post for stories like this

Press On, Pigeon

I bet Kathy Griffin is happy about Star Jones' departure from The View.

Some Scary Shit


I remember stressing over asteroid impacts in second grade back in 1986. What caused this concern was the return of Halley's Comet. News like this doesn't alleviate my long-time fear.


That'll Be The Day...


Damn, I was hoping Thomas Jane was one of us. Patricia, you are so lucky. Glad to see she's upgraded her tastes since her last marriage.

Not quite...


I read a similar article to this one about the higher probability of being gay the more older biological brothers one has, however, I am the first born, so not sure this exactly explains my "condition."

SPANK CHEEKS -- All the News That's Fit to Spank

Travis Bone: Making a Difference in San Diego - Outsports.com

Every time I see articles by Travis Bone in the GLT I become rageful and jealous. Why? He's actively involved in our community, he obviously does a damn good job reporting news, as this article demonstrates. Maybe cause he's cute and skinny, and he's doing the things that I've only talked about doing while perched at a bar while active in my addictions.

Congrats on the recognition, Travis!

Just checking in. I got the Lambda site last week and have a temporary homepage up until I make time this weekend to add features to the site in time for the committee meeting on Sunday.


Still sober, yay! Gained weight, nay! 23lbs. Also having a biopsy done on some dysplaisic cells found in my rectum, however, the weight is bothering more than the possibility of having cancer.
