yay...puns!

Five things I learned (but sorta already knew) about musical theater on Sunday at The Musical of Musicals: The Musical!:

Rodgers & Hammerstein: corny!

Sondheim: a little complex

Jerry Herman: rocket ship to the stars

Andrew Lloyd Webber: hack...hack...hack...sorry...hairball.

and...to Kander & Ebb: english is a second language

Some enchanted evening indeed...no more Minelli!

Still LMAO, Right Over The Fucking Ledge!

may i?

This is definitely a Friday "Best Ever".

The May issue of Genre Magazine landed on my coffee table and it might just be the best magazine cover ever in the history of... um... gay... um... style mags?

Of course it could just be the hottest coverboy ever, since I am really not looking at anything else.

Wow. Got legs?

just a gurl

Gwen Stefani has been one of my favorite girly girls for some time now... is this a "Best Ever"? Maybe. It is Friday, after all.

She is gorgeous, athletic, smart and oozing personality; hardly "Just a Girl".

Too bad her latest album did not get the reviews of Love. Angel. Music. Baby. but this gurl has yet to hear it, so the jury is... well.... you know.

look over there!

So... it's been a long time between posts...

Fuck you, I've been busy!

;-)

...Busy looking at spring's latest undergarments... like the one little Billy (not his real name) is sportin... enjoy.

The brand is CockSox... Hmm... Ask for them, by name. I dare ya.

a tale of two harrys

This is just an observation.

Both have grown quite nicely, thank you...

Prince Harry: Still going to Iraq.

Harry Potter (the half-blood prince): in theaters soon!!

laura suffers...really, she does

Wow! No one is suffering more than Laura Bush and our President, according to her.

Atrios rams the MSM with this point: imagine a First Lady Hillary Clinton making that statement under similar circumstances and imagine the media reaction.

Right... and I thought Laura's plight might be considered a little newsy but CNN thinks Rosie leaving "The View" is more important.
Oh, and Sheryl Crow can only spare a square...

America, Fuck Yeah!

Update: Just noticed the headline bout the Trooper shooting. Catskills Manhunt is hard core!

from a distance

I am holding my breath waiting for Pat Robertson, Weather Prophet, to exclaim on his little show how God is speaking to us through recent meteorological events. Though, this time, its not the Big Easy God hath smote. It's a seal hunt.

Can this be more poetic? More epic in scale?

The shifting ice pack trapped nearly 100 long-line fishing boats as the crews were engaged in the annual hunt for seals on ice floes this month.

God is watching us, Pat, and he is pissed... but probably not at gay people on the teevee.

someone else said it so i don't have to

This post is neither about pop nor tarts. Discuss.

I guess it falls under "and more" but it is way out of sync with the chipper tone of deniable plausibility. For that I apologize.

The Virginia Tech shootings are horrible. Things should have been different.

From Salon:

As humans do, we try to ensure that this awful spectacle of death was not for nothing. Hence our national soul-searching and debate. How could this happen? Is our society somehow to blame? Our values? Our gun laws? What could we have done differently to save this tortured soul?

But half a world away, similar horrors are happening every day -- horrors, unlike Seung-Hui Cho's slaughter, for which America bears direct responsibility. And we feel nothing.

The situation in Iraq is horrible. Things should have been different.

50 states

Now leaving the 48th state, Arizona. Heading home to much warmer weather than when I left...YAY!!

It was a chilly day off yesterday, but got some sun (too much) and some exercise (not enough) but looking forward to a renewed participation in a sport best played with 2, not 3.

Tennis anyone?

the spider king

Um... dunno bout this:

Get ready for "Spider-Man: The Broadway Musical."

That may not be the official title, but Marvel Studios is putting the pieces together for a musical on the Great White Way starring the popular superhero.

Julie Taymor, who won Tonys for direction and costume design for the Broadway production of "The Lion King," will direct, with U2's Bono and the Edge creating new music and lyrics for the project.

Julie Taymor certainly has a good track record, but I'm not sure I am ready for rousing, angsty songs such as: "Somethings Changed in Me", "MJ! MJ!" and "I've Made a Sticky Mess of Things".... not to mention over-produced chorus numbers: "The Neighborhood", "J. Johah Jameson" and "Spider Sense".
