Frankie invited me to his show a few weeks ago. Usually I try to stay out of the ballroom scene here because I feel it really isn’t my scene, but Frankie was going to DJ for the first time, so I ...

I was listening to the one podcast I listen to (Kathleen Madigan does one where she just randomly talks about things) and I happened to hear that one of the old businesses I worked for went under...

---

Well, I am moving again. I wasn’t really looking to move until the last couple of months. Since Cameron’s visit, my electricity bill has skyrocketed to the point where it’s not a little over half...

---

I was out with Bane the other night when all of the sudden Good came over and started flirting with me. It was totally strange. Good was the guy who broke my heart almost a year ago on the day my...

While cleaning up my hard drive to prepare for the new school year, which starts in 10 days (yikes!), I found the downloaded copy of my blog from 20 years ago. I was reading it and I can see in-b...

---

I’m not sure if it’s the arrogance or something else, but by day 3 of my little brother’s visit, I was ready for him to leave… and we still had 2 weeks left to go. It’s not as if there was anythi...

---

I’ve often heard it said that it’s more difficult to make friends when you’re older than when you’re a youngster. Supposedly it has to do with the fact that we’ve learned in our later years how d...

---

I spent most of the beginning of the month asleep with acute food poisoning (aka salmonella). That has to be one of the worst illnesses I’ve ever had in my life. It has taken me weeks just to get...

---

Honestly, New Year was a trainwreck so let’s just jump right beyond that. A few weeks ago, I finally went on the Pride Cruise that goes all around Bangkok. It was fun and extremely random. I made...

---

Due to a legal document I signed, I cannot discuss what happened in the Red Room, except to say that it definitely met all my expectations and I have not only been invited back but asked to parti...

I recently found out that part of the reason why I’ve had so many health problems recently is because I’ve drinking coffee that I’m allergic to. It’s so nice to realize that my seizures are a res...

I’m very blah. Nothing’s wrong, I just don’t feel like I have much going on right now. That sounds depressing, but I’m not actually depressed. I’m just not excited about anything. I went out the ...

---

I was trying to find a survey because I really didn’t feel like writing, but as I was searching for something, I realized how awful the internet has become. I’m sure many of you remember how the ...

---

I looked around at the hotel room. On my way back from checking the bus schedule, two of the bar boys from the place I’d been last night asked hopefully if they’d see me again that evening. I did...

---

I return to work on Monday after 3 weeks of no classes and for some reason, I’m incredibly nervous about it. I feel like I haven’t prepared or something. I severely injured my foot on my birthday...

I’ve been really disconnected from music these last couple of months, but something funny happened. In West Hollywood, FUBAR closed. The Foobs (as we called it) was where I spent most of my time ...

---

Do you put ketchup on hot dogs? I haven’t had a hot dog in sooooo long… I really want a chili cheese dog (they have frankfurters here, but I wouldn’t really call them hot dogs, and no buns… they ...

---

I imagine my friends say that I should put myself out there and try new things, but that’s a lie. Nobody’s ever actually said that to me, it’s just something that appears in my head whenever I tu...

It was a few days before finals and I was reviewing the material with my youngest group of students, they’re between 11 and 12 years old. We were playing Hangman and they had gotten the first two...

---

I’m getting used to a lot of things I’ve never had to get used to. I have a big kitchen now (or relatively big considering how small my last one had been) but I have a much, much smaller refriger...

---

I finally finished moving. I have so much space in my new place that I don’t quite know what to do with it all. Every shelf is empty and I finally see that I have not collected anything in my lif...

---

I had to put on the brakes this week because something happened in a meeting, and when it was over, I saw what was happening. I ran out of medicine on Sunday, which means my brain is going to sta...

---

I thought I’d share my reactions to some interesting survey results. Maybe you have a reaction to share, too. 1) 1 in 10 people think HTML is a Sexually Transmitted Disease Well, at least 9 peopl...

I always sang The Judds music since I was a little kid. My mother listened to them obsessively and would sing their music. When I started singing, the first song I sang in public was “Grandpa” fo...
