DITTY BOP DITTY...

Wow -- so much has been going on! A hot new boyfriend! Way cool friends! A cool and highly unusual job! A pending law suit settlement! Trying to go off these annoying meds! So, let's see --- where to start. ...well, B is seriously rocking my world. My cell phone fell from my hands this morning as I waited for the M train and it has not worked since. This means I am unable to call B. Most frustrating. Good thing it is insured. T-Mobile will be having a visit from me tomorrow while on my lunch break.

My way cool pal, Darren Stein, had his new production of a film by Cam Archer play at SF's Frameline LGBT Film Festival. Cam Archer is only 24 years old and has created a visually stunning meditation on surviving Junior High School as a gay boy. Surviving middle school is hard enough, but when you add hormones and being queer to the mix it can be a horror movie. Darren produced the film with Gus Van Sant. If you get a chance to see it -- check it out. I do believe it will be finding its way to the Sundance Channel soon. Anyway, some of the gang got together and saw the movie on Darren and Cam's big night. It was a sold out show. Lots of energy. I think Cam Archer was a stand up comedian in his last life as he was so funny on the stage before and after the screening. B and me hung out with Darren and his entourage on Saturday. Darren brought "The Twins" with him. Two very cute and almost identical twins who are producers/screenwriters and rising "stars" within the film industry. They are 20 but look 14 and are very smart and funny. After the movie we did experience a bit of that old Hollywood Shine-Off, but he four of us had a blast at Alan's fave trash Mexican restaurant in the Mission. B, Ing & Alan freezing in line at Frameline at The Castro!!!

...you can't really tell, but I am wearing a way cool printed T of a woman with deer antlers. God bless Goldfrapp!!! ...and my teeth are way-more-white!!!!

My pal, Mark, gave me his old mountain bike --- and was kind enough to give me a pristine copy of the Janis Joplin CD box. ...this was actually more of a personal gift that I will always treasure. It would not be cool to blog about it, but I was really very touched. I had this CD box set but UPS had lost it when I moved from Boston to SF last year.

I was able to spend some much needed Ing-time. Ing time is great because I get to laugh so hard my sides hurt and my brain gets stimulated. And, as always, we get far too loud and get looks --- which makes me much happy! ...I love this picture of Ing. I caught her in mid pose with the way cool auto bio of Candy Darling. This is in one of Ing's book stores -- but this is the one which she assisted in the color design. Cool. Oh, and I got the Candy Darling book! LOL! Tomorrow the evening is to be spent with the wondrous Milford who is taking me to dinner. Thursdays are dinner with Milford night. This translates to fun conversations and Milford taking me to restaurants which I could never afford. I worry that I embarrass him with my hyper-ness at some of these way cool places. And, then comes Friday! My bosses are letting me off early -- and I get to be paid, too!!! So, my hope is that B will find a way to get off from work early so we can play in this perfect weather. But, if he can't -- then I shall take in an afternoon movie and pick up when he gets out of work. And the weekend is full of plans. (one of which will be a Saturday evening with Ing, her boy toy and B!!! Yay!!!)

This week started my going off of all of the meds I've been on. I am getting off these meds mainly so I can drink wine after dinner and have a Bombay Sapphire on the weekends. My plan is to become an alcoholic before the end of the year. I hear this is going to be the new trend for 2007. So, I want to get the deck clear before New Years hits. No, but I don't think I need the meds so it will be cool to be rid of them.

Oh! And, kids! New music to be discovered!!!!

...Really awesome. I think of them as Belle & Sebastian's off-beat little sister.

...you MUST get this right now!!! I mean, you've never really heard "Bye Bye Love" till you hear it sung by two girls with washboards as instruments. Wicked cool stuff!

...OK, if you're not into Matmos -- then you need to get into Matmos! I mean, these two cool lovers have made music with Bjork, the sounds of invasive surgery and have now added the sex sounds of the San Francisco club, Blow Buddies, to their mix. Beyond description. However, everyone needs to hear "Steam and Sequins For Harry Levan"!!!!

Well, I hope this post wasn't too dull. Now, I have to go get the laundry out of the dryer and I hope to catch up on my blog reading!!!

love and kisses from Gay Town USA!!!
