There’s a lot going on today: (take a deep breath with me)
- Brokeback Mountain at 1:15 (I hope). We are going to see it, finally, today. I will let you know what I thought soon… I am sure that it is going to be nothing but great things to say about it; after all, Jake is in it! AND it is a love story about two men!
- James and I are committing ourselves today; in the sense of powers of attorney, wills, domestic partnership agreements, etc. I mentioned a while back that we took the steps to solidify our partnership and provide ourselves with some protection (since the damn government refuses to recognize our commitment), by going to a lawyer and having all of the necessary documents drawn up. Well, today is the culmination of that effort; we are signing the papers, and they will be official as of this afternoon. I am very excited. We are one step closer to legal commitment; and I couldn’t be happier. Now, if we could only do that whole “wedding” and “reception” thing… I want my blue diamond ring! Soon… Soon… (Seriously, you can count on that!)
- Finally, I am working on a set of entries that will highlight the year in review in the following areas: my top albums of 2005, my top movies of 2005, my top singles of 2005, and my top dance tracks of 2005. I always love to see what other people think about movies and music, and I, myself, love to share what I know about artists and films; in order that someone else might find something they enjoy, or at least to foster conversation about it. That is exactly what these lists will do; they will give you all a glimpse into what I was enjoying this year, with regards to movies and music. Hopefully, it will also give you some suggestions as to stuff to check out that you may then enjoy. I am always on the lookout for new media, and word of mouth is always the best way I have found things in the past. So, I will pass that on to you. Expect these entries in the very near future (like, this week). Also, if there is anything that you would like to see in these entries, here is your chance to voice those opinions!
- Happy Hump day everyone! Now, I am leaving work!
As in songs, not people, right?
Congratulations to you and James! I have so happy for you both, you deserve it for sure. I look forward to the day where I can have the same with my boyfriend…for now we have to get him divorced.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Brokeback Mountain but don’t spoil it for me.
Congrats on all the paperwork! You should have a big ol’ party for yourselves anyway!
WOW! Congrats to you both! That is so awesome. I can’t WAIT for you list ‘o entertainment of the year and thanks for the NetFlix recommendations here and there. Happy Hump day back atcha and looking forward to the Moody Signature Series picks of 2005
I can’t wait to read your movie review, I think you do a really good job with them.
I also think that you should have registered for this occasion. You can never have to many gifts! You could consider it a precursor to wedding gifts, like an advanced shower.
congratulations on paper signing! may the two of you have a long, long, long life together. and may we all live to see the day that taking on such responsibilities is just as easy for gays as it is for straights.
(and on the same day as elton and david, i might add!)
Yay Duane, I am so happy for you and James! I can not wait to hear your thoughts on BBM.
Wow, congratulations Duane! Remember to post pic of your blue diamond ring. Uh, post pics of your wedding too.
Congratulations Duane and James!!
I’m very proud of the two of you!
Congrats, sweet pea!!!!
I’m REALLY late on this — just catching up. Congratulations! That so rocks!
