Is this thing on… testing 1 2 3

Guess so… Haven’t been on here in a while so figured I’d say hey… usual excuse (work and a zillion other things)… But this week Apple’s shut down so i’m being a complete lazy bum and hangin out doing not much… In fact today I’m headed over to Nickel Spa for a massage then I may head over to see Harry Potter on the IMAX… Hope so at least…

So anyway.. whats been keeping me busy?… Well Matt’s surprise birthday party was last weekend – that helped keep me occupied for one of the days last weekend (the previous day I was down in LA for the last day of a work trip…

Lets see.. what else… Oh yea.. I got a new toy at home…. one of these:

Ya know… a QUAD Processor G5 Macintosh with a 30″ display.. Oh my GOD… It is CRAZY cool.. I recommend them to everyone… REALLY FUCKING Fast and this Display is just absurdly big.. I love it… I hadn’t upgraded my mac at home in many years and it was time… And since I was so out dated I decided to go a little nuts…

Anyway… I’m off to my massage now.. but figured I’d check in quickly! 🙂 Have a great day!

Vacation Season

I don’t know why it has to happen this way but I can’t complain.. It seems that vacation season is fast upon us… Matt and Brian and Drew and Adrian are going with us for a week in Mexico next week. We got a week in a condo in Puerta Vallarta from the silent auction at the HRC ball and decided to go with these guys over Halloween. Figured it’d be interesting to be there for that time of year and I’m happy to escape the Castro for that night…

Then i’ve got a week off from work for Thanksgiving – Steve decided to shut us down for the week as a reward so I need to find something to do to pass the time given that Kevin doesn’t have the day off… Granted I’ll be spending part of it writing performance reviews… but still will be nice to have it off.. Then there’s christmas week… So I should have plenty of time over the next months to get some of my steam back.. Just gotta figure out what to do with it! 🙂

Heterosexual Marriage

Just browsing my news as I eat my lunch and this article caught my eye and made me giggle:

Texas Anti-Gay Amendment Could Nix Straight Marriages
by 365Gay.com Newscenter Staff

(Austin, Texas) A proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage in Texas could also be used to nullify traditional marriages a group of straight couples says.

…

I’m sure there is plenty of nuance and fine print that leaves this open to interpretation.. But still made me giggle… And the last bit about the KKK being against gay marriage just added to the giggles… Love that they’ve got people like Fred Phelps and the KKK supporting their efforts.. I’m sure it’ll help…

Sorry.. just had to share…

My Friday night with Varla

To start of our weekend Kevin and I went to an Oktoberfest party for one of his vendor’s from work (Splash Events if you’re curious) after which we blazed up to the city to see Varla Jean Merman perform in the mission. SUCH a funny show and such a fun crowd. In case you don’t know who she is you NEED to rent Girls will be Girls – she’s in it along with Coco Peru and Evie Harris… Then go see her… really damn funny! 🙂

October 11 – National Coming Out Day

For those of you who missed it, today was National Coming Out Day… And for those of you who were unclear – i’m Gay… Um.. duhhh.. But anyway.. Today at work we had a NCOD lunch in the Apple Cafeteria which was very cool… Apple Lambda (Apple’s GLTB employee group) put together the event and one of the guys running the show managed to get Hal Sparks from Queer as Folk (among other things) to come up from LA for lunch.. Turnout was great and the lunch was a lot of fun.. I didn’t personally talk to the guest star but was still cool…

Anyway.. just had to share..
