Lidsville
With a teenage Butch Patrick, formerly Eddie on the Musters, an an androgenous genie palyed by Billie Hayes, formerly Witchypoo on H.R. Pufnstuf and Charles Nelson Reilly as the villain, all of which live in a village of taking eight feet tall hats, is it any wonder that noone believes me when I I try to explain this kids series to them?

To The Manor Born
Having free time due to being unemployed, I've been watching QUITE a lot of television. although i've yet to sink to the state of wearing my pajamas all day and drinking warm beer(but wait, that might be coming once the wine cellar runs dry) I've recently been rewatching one of my favorite britcoms 'To the Manor Born"
Alas, Unless I get a job soon I may be forced to sell the manor and move up too to the lodge!

I know I have been slow on updating my works, including the ones from -XVI- the ongoing event.
I have too many things going on in my head and its been hard for me to concentrate but I still try. Its like, I am already am living in hell in reality. I don't know if the idea of my event has become real or that my mind has engulfed me and over took my senses...
Things around me seems to mess me up and shut me down. Sometimes I don't even know what I am thinking about or even going through. I have been having memory lost and seems like I am losing my grip on my life...
I really need to find my 66 Sinners and finish this event up. Honestly, now I know why they say, "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it".....

Question......
So I know and talk to a lot of guys at my gym, and I mean a LOT! I'm there up to five tiems a week for up to three hours a time. Though my trainer and my training partner I've come to know most of the hardcore weightlifters. We all train around the same time, spot each other when necessary and bounce new excercises and diet or training tips off each other. For the first time in my life I feel like part of the "in" jock crowd.
There's the fly in the ointment.. I am QUITE sure I am the only gay guy in the group, Some know, Many may assume, No one so much as bats an eye about it. We are there to lift plain and simple. It is our drug of choice..
HOWEVER! What I am find increasingly annoying is that the other gay guys in the gym are now viewing me as the Homosexual Hedda Hopper. I get questioned if I know, or think, this guy is gay, or has a girlfriend, or if she's a beard, of if these two guys are "more" than just "workout" partners....Christ doesn't anyone go to the gym to just work out anymore?
Or am I just jealous cuz no one is asking about me??????
Real World, New York,
"February House is the uncovered story of an extraordinary experiment in communal living, one involving young but already iconic writers -- and the country's best-known burlesque performer -- in a house at 7 Middagh Street in Brooklyn during 1940 and 1941. It was a fevered yearlong party fueled by the appetites of youth and by the shared sense of urgency to take action as artists in the months before America entered the war. In spite of the sheer intensity of life at 7 Middagh, the house was for its residents a creative crucible. Carson McCullers's two masterpieces, The Member of the Wedding and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, were born, bibulously, in Brooklyn. Gypsy Rose Lee, workmanlike by day, party girl by night, wrote her book The G-String Murders in her Middagh Street bedroom. Auden -- who along with Britten was being excoriated at home in England for absenting himself from the war -- presided over the house like a peevish auntie, collecting rent money and dispensing romantic advice. And yet all the while he was composing some of the most important work of his career. Sherill Tippins's February House, enlivened by primary sources and an unforgettable story, masterfully recreates daily life at the most fertile and improbable live-in salon of the twentieth century."

Now we're coooking with gas!
It's baking day round here. This Saturday is my Emancipation day party, marking one year of freedom from the biggest mistake I ever made. I'll be up to by elbows in butter, eggs and flour. So far I've got Boston Cream Pie, Carmel cheese cake, Orange cranberry bread and a tidewater(pineapple coconut pound cake) cake on the menu. I hope it's enough! I am soooooo going off the diet!

Perky Plumage
Classic old school, wonderfully crisp, from a new tattooist to the blog, Shakey Pete. You can also find an excellent owl he did on Owl Tattoos.

Snowbeast (1977) Trailer
The "other" side of the abominal snow man...
Another particular favorite of my younger bother and I, so much so that we were forced to watch it in the kitfchen on our crappy smaller black and whiite TV set as my father was watching "The sound of Music" in the living room and in his words we "didn't know what was good"
Yes I know, gay de-merit points for passing on Julie Andrews but the camp cheese of Snow Beast and an appearnce by Sylvia Sydney should count for something!
PSA Abominable Snowman - balancing your meal
'balancing my meal' has become a long running gag with my younger brother and I.
I've tried using it on many a catering job when carrying a tray (yes, with the song included) but to no avail. You can't teach this younger generation anything!

Andrews Sisters - Hit The Road
A posting over at Fabulon got me to thinking of Patty Maxine and Laverne....
Coming up for air or perhaps slipping down
Sorry about the lack of posts but I've been rather swamped as of late. Maybe it was more than just condense but I'd just finished reading Mildred Pierce and I was suddenly offered a wait staff job. three nights a week, one night in kitchen, while it may lack all the usual glamour of catering(SARCASM!) It's a restaurant within walking distance of my home and a chance at a set schedule, rather than running and begging for shifts form catering company to catering company. The salary should nestle in nicely with my unemployment benefits to keep me afloat.
If you ever find yourself in the hood stop by at the Center Street cafe, Tuesdays Thursdays or Saturdays

I'm a huge fan of the second pic, wonder who that's by?
