This Is How We Do It

“Thanks everyone – I’ve been a part of the Guild only a few months, but having a Pride March has to be one of the epic events I’ve experienced in the last 3 years of playing WOW. . . .”

How Could You Lie?

love this song, and the video tells the tired, rehashed story of a young chicken who grows up into a chicken pimp and chases down KFC’s Colonel Saunders. . . .yah. Just watch it. I want to be the woman singing please.

AquaCat

yes i’m slowly turning into fuckin lolcats.com n shite, but again, this seems almost unbelievable.

Colton Ford

Have you noticed how many great albums are out now? Or if not great, at least very good, and fun? Madonna, B-52s, Cyndi Lauper, Moby, Donna Summer. . .

Dunno if this falls under the “great”, or even “very good” category, but fun? Fun to watch. Yum.

This guy looks great (and can be seen shaking it in Cyndi’s lastest Into the Nightlife), as does a cameo by Cazwell.  Wish my name was something cool like Colton Ford.

The Blackbird

Gettin’ my geek on waiting for the delivery of the closest thing that I’ll ever have to a child, besides maybe a boyfriend and cats, the HP Blackbird.  The Blackbird is the product of a collaboration between HP and gaming system boutique shop Voodoo and even at the low end (which is what I ordered), it looks to be a big fast beast of a gaming rig.

My last computer purchase was about 5 years ago, and it died a nasty, deep hardware death 3 weeks ago and my online life.has.been.hell ever since.  I’m actually very grateful for the loan of a VERY old computer from buds of mine, but playing WoW and surfing porn has been slow and very painful.  Hey! This gift horse has bad breath! I know. Sorry!

Not to jinx it before it gets here, but I went with the pretty and pricey Blackbird because it got CNET.com’s highest rating for a personal computer, ever, b) it is upgradeable with no proprietary parts and c) because it isn’t Dell, who is getting really bad press re: their customer service fuck ups.  Also, it just looks badass.

A sure sign you might need a new system is when your current one can’t load the promo site of the computer you want to own.  K, like so many things, that made sense in my head. Coffee first, then blogging.  Then checking the front door every few minutes to make sure, as they have so many times in the past, UPS doesn’t fuck up the delivery.

Boycott Bolthouse

God you just can’t win with juice. I dumped drinking Odwalla when Coke bought it, and had some reservations about Bolthouse because I saw all this religious crap on their website, so no surprise that they support the folks that would deny people being able to marry the person of their choice.

Filched shamelessly from Joe.My.God

Bakersfield carrot farmer William Bolthouse donated $100,000 to an initiative aiming to fight gay marriage — a measure that will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot along with the presidential race. The initiative qualified for the ballot Monday, less than a month after the state Supreme Court overturned a ban on gay marriage. June 17 marks the date when California counties will be permitted to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The National Organization for Marriage California donated $700,000 to the campaign. One of the organization’s largest financial contributors includes Bolthouse, who declined to comment about his donation Tuesday. The measure’s proponents said the campaign to promote the initiative may exceed $30 million. Supporters have spent about $1.8 million to collect signatures and publicize the initiative, according to campaign filings. Other supporters include San Diego developer Terry Caster ($172,000); hotel developer Manchester Financial Group of San Diego ($125,000); Fieldstead and Co. of Irvine ($400,000) and Knights of Columbus Headquarters in Connecticut ($250,000).

The Walk of Shame

been a whiles since I took one of those, but apparently it is universal enough to base a commerical around.

Muh Boo

You only have to hang with me about 8 minutes before you realize that back when I had hair on my head, it was straight up blonde.

For example, I’m chronically unable to tell if any particular bon mot in my conversational arsenal is national in origin, or will only be understood by other Southerners, other queers, other elderly folks (I made a Burma Shave joke recently that got only blank stares and quizzical looks), or other gamers.

One of my favorite terms of enqueerment is “Boo”. I think I thought it was Southern, but now, after watching CNN’s Anderson Cooper get confused by the concept on national TV, I realize now it is probably originated as a black term.

Not to over generalize, but this is just another awesome example of how gay men and black women have a similar sense of humor.
