This. That. No Other.

Pretty quiet around here, huh?
That’ll change. The past two months have been introspective, busy, fun, scary, sexy, stressy, wonderful and, ultimately, totally necessary.
See you early in 2010. Promise.

Underworld, “Two Months Off”

After witnessing dozens of people wiping handkerchiefs, staggeringly cheesy dimestore trinkets and, I do believe, their panties on The Stone of Unction in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, I can’t help but totally love the latest from the Hebrew Badgirl:

Oh, hey. I turned “30″ this week.
Three days ago, to be exact, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention it (at least in passing). We all mark significant milestones in our lives, and 22 September 1979 was one of the most critical in my development. Not unlike a majority of gay men of my [...]

Rugby star — and TTNO fan-fave — Ben Cohen strips for Attitude mag and says this about his physique:
I don’t think I’ve got a good body. And that’s not cause I want you to say I have. I don’t look in the mirror and go: ‘Fucking hell Benny, good body.’ I look at it and [...]

C’mon, guess.

Aptly-Named Beach, Vancouver, 21 September 2009

What a great week. Got a shitload of work done, kicked cardio ass at the gym and, best of all, met up with and hung out with MikeP, one of my oldest and dearest friends (and, if memory serves, the first person to whom I came out), here in YVR on business. I can’t wait [...]

You have no. Idea.

Thanx to MikeP…

Short week, lots of work done, busted my Craigslist cherry (sold a TV and a Betamax — oh, yeah!) and my Kijiji cherry (sold my old bike), hung out with the inimitable J.D.:

With J.D. (7 September 2009)
…bought an awesome new citybike, heard the seven trumpets:

…discovered that in Space, no one can hear you [...]

So we’re off to Israel in a month and planning’s in full swing, so I decided to share some videos we’ve been watching while researching. We’ll (of course) be using Sheepy’s invaluable posts on Israel and Israeli culture to inform our itinerary, and the abundant assistance we’re receiving from friends of the faith who’ve made [...]

Though I think religion is total horseshit, I deeply respect the religious experience.
By that I mean that we humans have a peculiar physiology and psychology which can lend itself to certain perceptions which we casually describe as “religious” and, because these perceptions and experiences have yet to be scientifically studied in any significant fashion, we’re [...]

Not again, right?

Next to “Roam”, this is probably my fave B-52’s song*. Don’t think the grocers’ apostrophe doesn’t drive me nuts — they fixed it last year, with the release of Funplex — but self-identification is to be respected. The literal representation of the instruments cracks me up and, Cindy, you ARE my goddess!

Oh, the abundant opportunities inherent in this post slug, to go off on flights of quadruple-entendre fancy, but, no, I’m talking about television and my neighbourhood, dear readers.
About six blocks from where I sit right now is a structure appearing in the Galactica universe as both Delphi (in BSG) and Caprica City Hall (in Caprica):
