By the end of my first year in Dallas, I had learned a major lesson: In 2001, at any given hour of the day, there was always an episode of Law & Order on. The syndication rights had been split between A&E and TNT – two cable networks that had very few quality reruns to […] A few weeks ago I was invited to a gay friend’s dinner party, where he was serving a authentic Thai dinner for 15 (his mother was cooking it, but that’s another story). When dinner was served, half the party was eating at the table, and the other half was in his living room watching “Glee.” […] With a project deadline looming I couldn’t find the energy to drive to Minnesota this year. I feel bad that I’ve enjoyed it so much, but with some analysis you might understand my view.

I admit, this doesn’t hold the terror of, […] Disclaimer: despite the potential for all sorts of racy adventures, pretty much all of these stories are PG rated, as they mostly end with me not having sex. Well, except for one, but that’s for later. Due to being a computer science / film double major, it took me 5.5 years to finish school. Things […] “How did you discover your sexuality?” is really not a question you should drop on people in casual conversation, work conversation, or pretty much ask anyone except if you are a therapist. I kind of wish I could ask though, just to compare notes. Yes, I know, it’s w-aaay too much information, but it’s something […] My funeral is too important to let other people plan it, because quite honestly y’all would just screw it up.
