A week or so ago a certain Senator resigned to take another office. He took with him another Senator from Delaware. And on Monday he plans on pulling yet another Senator from New York.
GOP, take note. This is how you unseat powerful Senators: you let them win elections.

How To CommunicateThere is no ulterior motive in my mind when I do it. But I just can't help myself. The way I talk to gay men is by flirting. I don't do this intentionally, but every gay man I talk to is, after a fashion, flirted with no matter if the subject is shoes, Russian iconography, or the prostate and its many, manly functions. This week for example.
My mother is sick (but doing very well) and has been getting visitors a lot. Her parish priest, Father Dennis, stops by a few times a week. He is perhaps the gayest gay who ever gayed and he is wonderful for it. We were chatting about Baroque art when it hit me, was I talking about Bernini's sculpture because I liked it or because it was sexy? And while I am interested in everything that is sexy I do feel like I subconsciously chose an artist who could only see spirituality in sex. The ensuing conversation about Caravaggio and decapitation went much the same way.
Then today my cousin Robert and his boyfriend Nelson came by. At one point I was chatting about S&M furries. That isn't a subject one just arrives at after meandering through several topics. Guys, you are both great guys but I totally wasn't being incest/home-wrecker weird.
I can't help myself. It is just a default setting. Oh, is that an old lady? Let's talk about canasta leagues and Haddock recipes. Is that a gay man of any age, relationship status, or linguistic background. Let's chat about anything scandalous. To all the gay men out there, I apologize for my uncontrollable instinct. Except you (e:Jim). We got a lot out of that instinct together.
cheers

Tiny: sign up for my seminar: Decadence, De Sade, and fur suits.
Peter: The two aren't related except in instances where they are. You can be a furry and not into S&M. You can be into S&M and not into fur. You can be into both. You can be into neither. That is what I love about fetish culture, each man his own nation of kinks.

I am actually not a megaman fan. The games were ok (though the music in the games kicked 8-bit ass). Someone told me to give the album a listen. I have had it for three days now and I have listened to it, according to iTunes, thirteen times. It kicks so much ass.
Thanks Theli, I will give them a listen.

Oh, right, I think Proto Man is a character in the series. Oh God, my geek cred is really showing.

Mega man!?!?
There is a new Mega Man game out you know. Maybe I just suck at it, but it is almost unfairly difficult. Mega Man dies over and over and over.

Yeah, Protomen... Good shit.
Also good: :::link:::
The pronunciation of Ryu annoyed me to no end. (Yeah, I'm picky about SF stuff.) But can't complain too much, songs are pretty good.

All the World is RottenThere is no more pleasure left in the world. Everything is just a shadow of what used to make you happy. Turn on the faucet to slake your thirst and ash pours out. Close your eyes for sleep and you will only dream of the grave.
And why?
Because Thomas Kinkade is making a movie.
The Painter of LightTM is directing Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage. Which stars... Peter O'Toole? Seriously?
This makes me like two things much less
1)Christmas
2) Peter O'Toole
This is based on a true story in which an old, reclusive painter takes on a young painter under his wing. Making this movie a big ego masturbation session for Kinkade. Grind out a big one Tommy. Just don't shoot your load all over our holiday.
This is not the first monstrous bastard child between Kinkade and anything else. Take a look at this painting.
All that is left is to pray for a quick death.

I'm not a Racing fan but that Painting is pretty amazing. His art does have its own look and he has made it. So what is so wrong about a movie based of his life that is a love story, sounds like an independent movie to me. I won't go see it because it isn't my thing, but I be it is a lot of other peoples thing.

does that painting come in couch size?

I don't think that will happen. I can't imagine that would be a popular pick with anyone other than the Mayor and the Governor. They are both buddy, buddy from my understanding, but I can't imagine Brownie's popularity extends much beyond 2/3 of Buffalo.
I hear Higgins mentioned. While I have a problem with a number of his votes the man brings home the bacon to WNY.
That certain senator from NY may be replaced by a certain mayor of Buffalo, which scares me to death! I mean really, I'll concede to downstate before supporting an upstate do-nothing. People accused Obama of being a careerist? Lol!
