So here’s the deal: I was extremely busy all week trying to get my school work finished so I could enjoy this weekend without worrying about how to fit all of that work in with my Pride/Halloween plans. I managed to finish everything yesterday, but the 5SF got cut because of it. However, there are [...]

Published by October 26th, 2009 in civil rights, hmm interesting, is it just me?, music musings, near and dear, politics, show the love, that is so gay, venting, wtf?! and you tube. 4 Comments- Pride in Atlanta is this weekend, and I am kind of excited about being able to celebrate Pride weekend without the heat of June, and hopefully, without the torrential downpours that usually came along with it. Anyone going besides me?

no 5SF this week, but some great news
Published by October 23rd, 2009 in all about me, civil rights, happenings, listen up!, politics and that is so gay. 0 CommentsAs you may notice, there is no five song Friday occupying its regular slot this week; I have had a really bad week (from being sick to the hot water heater woes to school work overload), so I am taking a break. I need to write up my concert experience from Mat Kearney last Friday [...]
my awesome day, starring the hot water heater
Published by October 21st, 2009 in happenings, home improvement, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsThis morning, I woke up like normal, took a shower like normal, and then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth, also like normal. When I walked towards the bathroom door, I stepped in what I thought was a fresh patch of pee, and before I could even chastise Mr. Pickles for ruining my [...]
5SF: october 16
Published by October 16th, 2009 in five song friday, listen up!, music musings, music suggestion and you tube. 6 CommentsTGIF. This has been a four day week for me, but for whatever reason, every hour has felt like two, and it just seemed to go by really slowly. A good thing did come out of it, though, I found some AMAZING new songs to feature today, and I can’t wait for you to hear [...]
must watch: Modern Family
Published by October 15th, 2009 in mixed media, show the love, television and that is so gay. 3 CommentsInitially, it seems that it always takes me a while to get into anything that gets a lot of hype, and because of the pre-season buzz, Modern Family was no exception. However, thankfully, I saw the light early on in this case, and after last night’s hilarious episode, I can definitely say that the hype [...]
third time’s a charm

Love her or hate her, you have to admit, this has been a pretty impressive comeback; one that only seems to keep gaining momentum! Major congrats to Ms. Spears who snags only her third number one hit [...]
5SF: october 9 (British pop edition!)
Published by October 9th, 2009 in five song friday, listen up!, music musings and music suggestion. 3 CommentsThanks to Stuart playing all kinds of wonderful cheesy British pop from the early 00s at Mary’s last weekend, I have been in the mood for more, more, more all week. I decided to make a play list of some of my favorites, and as the list started to get pretty long, I realized that [...]
madonna and me (too)
Published by October 7th, 2009 in all about me, cream of the crop, hmm interesting, music musings, near and dear, show the love and that is so gay. 7 CommentsAfter reading Rich’s excellent blog post, Madonna and Me, about his life-long experiences regarding Madonna, I felt compelled to share it (go read it!! It’s excellent!), and say something (well, a lot of somethings) about how it eerily mirrors my own feelings, and the reasons behind those feelings, about her.
I have always had a “thing” [...]
