Lost In Translation

Distractions, England

Checking my stats, someone translated one of my England posts to “Chinese” (according to Google, no mention which dialect). I like this style of writing better, actually:

It is Sunday morning. Nagel’s give me a croissant, so we can read newspapers.

Nagel years older than I. 12. He is in a relationship with Peter near 8 years. Peter’s every Sunday into the office and then towards the club, ignoring Nagel trouble. I was “trouble.”

I met Nagel, when standing in a bar cloning region, away from the Earls Court subway station at the time step. He is a drunken white skin and blond and handsome royal. He also has an ear adhesion 90 degrees from his head. It is lovely. I simply wrote about our relationship here before.

Open the door of the house. Peter’s unexpected return. “Is a sedative,” Nagel said of paper from his search. Peter went into the kitchen and the investigation two of us. I will work together to introduce their own, but Peter clapped his hands and said “right!” Bit too loudly. Moment of him, and we could hear him in the bedroom near the search. Ringing the front door.

And we continue to have huge, naughty, and Nagel and I.

Over Killzone Too

Distractions, Gaming, You Stupid Dick

I’m sure this game is amazing. The trailers look faboo, the screengrabs look rockin’, it’s got some hypementum behind it.

But do you think Sony could find a better reviewer than their own bloody magazine! That’s like Tyra Banks saying America’s Next Top Model is the best model search program there ever was.

Meh. I’ll probably hit it.

My New Theem

Distractions, Tech

Like it? I’m due for a change. I’m going to tart up the header and such but for now, the top links will look a bit wonky until the old posts move off and the jQwerty populates fully.

This will force me to be more visual I think.

Feel free to call me a corporate sell out or whatnot.

One Hundred Days

Distractions, Personal Bits, Queer stuff

Hello! I am hoping you are having a magical day!

In exactly 100 days I will be boarding a plane to Orlando to partake in one of Florida’s biggest, gayest events: Gay Days at Disneyworld. Thousands upon thousands of red-shirt wearin’ homos converge on the parks over five days either to make a political statement, a safety-in-numbers thing or just a damn great weekend of fun (depending on your idea of fun). Meanwhile, unsuspecting straight people, when confronted with homosexuality and who had no clue the parks would be overrun with gays of all types, will react with whatever knee-jerk reaction they have inbred to them (depending on their perspective, of course). Some will have open arms and smiles and some with shock and indignation. This Advocate article, to me, seems to blow the whole behaviour thing out of proportion, but I am sure there were a few disgruntle parents there, it would be a miracle if there weren’t. When we went we were offered positive comments of support and glee from straight and gay alike because of our t-shirts. We had great conversations with people in line wondering why we had pictures of each other as 10 year olds on our chest.

Our Gay Day shirts

I guess you could say we’re in the “Just here for fun and say Hi” category. After two years away, I am jonesing for some teacup ride.

Dance Away the Night

Distractions, Toronto

dance-1Remember how Swing dance came back a few years back and everyone wanted to twirl a poodle skirted girl over their face/head/hips? A friend turned me on to this little “art-show-endurance-event” thing going on at the Harbourfront Centre: Dance Marathon

It’s just as the title suggests: a dance marathon but interspersed with theatrics. From the description:

A genuine endurance contest and staged performance event, hopeful amateurs can mix with bluemouth inc. members under the direction of floor judges and the merciless movement of the clock to shape participation theatre. For those of you with two left feet, simply sit back to enjoy the fancy footwork!

It sounds pretty apt for this neo-Depression era we seem to be entering. Everything old is new again, recycle and reuse!

I was always baffled when I saw those old newsreel films – exactly who is around at 4am to judge/oversee this kind of event? Well, now’s my chance, I guess. I wonder how they’re going to tie everything together at the end…?
