The deal is this, the show is supposedly a reality show called Lap of Luxury, but the guy, Joe Shmo, is the only one who's actually playing. The rest of the people on the show are all actors, portraying other characters.

rock in: While You Were Out Finally, a day off after a five day stretch of 9 hour shifts. And not just any day off, but the first of three. In a row. Nice. Thank you Russ. I've got a couple of issues that I need some counsel on, so I'll tell you what's going down and then you tell me what you think. (p.s. When you write me, put something in the subject heading so I know it's you and not some porn

What the heck is going on with all the blogs man? Lots and lots of the daily reads aren't loading (including this one). Feh. I guess this means I should get started on the laundry instead of sitting in front of the computer and procrastinating. Once again, FEH.

rock in: Piebald - Time Lost Day off again. Yee haw. Today is Rox's birfday, so there will be festivities tonight at the Jupiter Cafe. I've never been there before, so I'm looking forward to it. We're doing it semi-swanky tonight, so watch out boys! (Only boys though because Rox only knows girls and gay men.) I get to go exploring a little in search of her birfday gift, so I'm pretty stoked about

rock in: Classic Albums: Bob Marley - Catch A Fire on Much More Music After 6 straight days of 9 hour shifts, my day has come. I slept for nearly ten hours before rolling out of bed. I would have stayed in longer, but my body isn't used to being asleep as late as 9:30 anymore. Horrible. The cable just went out. D'oh! Bruce might be coming over later on today to watch a movie or two with me. It's

rock in: Coldplay - Clocks live @ Jools Holland Dreams are a crazy thing. I've had this sort of warm-fuzziness about Trevor Linden since I had a dream where he gave me a nice hug after winning a sliding race. Then this morning I had a dream that I was in some sort of cabin and I heard the voice of a man with an English accent saying "I must have you." and it made me feel all giggly when I finally

rock in: Arling & Cameron - Le Flic Et La Fille Today has been a bit disappointing. I got up late (past 9! YES!) and thew a load of laundry in before trying to book an appointment for a haircut tomorrow along with making use of my Aveda Spa gift certificate, but the salon is closed on Mondays, so I won't find out if I can get in until tomorrow morning. Then the spa is all booked for Mother's Day

rock in: Sex and the City As I type, the cars are all honking as they drive by. What are they honking at? Lee. Why are they honking at Lee? Because right after our overtime win, Lee headed out to the roadside, jersey on his back, big foam "# 1" hand on one hand and beer in the other. I think he made some friends because I can hear more than one person out there yelling. So yes, we won game 4 and

rock in: Emeril Live Yesterday was nice. A bit disappointing, but still a nice day. Before we took off for the show, we checked the website of the venue to see what time the doors opened. Turns out that, not only was the Jealous Sound not included on the bill, but the show was also completely sold out. D'oh! So the show was a no go. (Ooh! All that rhyming!) But we decided to take the trip anyway.

I took today and tomorrow off (for recovery and donut delivery of course) so it's going to be grand. That's right, I said GRAND. It's been quite the week. Let's see, I came this close to seeing Vanilla Ice

rock in: Glenn channel surfing at top speed (he just stopped at the Golden Girls. Really.) I had this realization yesterday while on the toilet. The realization was this - I don't know any mid-sized gay men. I know my fair share of gay men and they're all either very tall or very short. No inbetweens about it. I just thought I would share that with you all. For some reason, I have been unable to

rock in: Sportsnet I did nothing today. Up until this point at least. I sprawled out on the couch in front of the tv and dozed off, all while catching glimpses of A&E shows like Cold Case Files and American Justice. Dinner was nice. We did a little veggie beef & spinach pasta with some jumbo croissants. Oh yes! And today will mark my first official use of my OXO cookie scoop. Imagine the fun of

rock in: the Beatles - Blackbird This week of work has exhausted me. If you know me at all, you know I am not one of those crazy "morning people". I am one of those who happily works a graveyard shift because that's just when I operate best. But all this week, I've been blessed with opening shifts which start at either 7 or 8 in the a.m. which makes my morning wake-up time a lovely 4 or 5 in the

rock in: the Beatles - Don't Pass Me By Here are a couple of fun links I thought I might share with y'all this fine, not-so-cold day. There is still good in this world. This one's for Brodie. Right. So I've never really been an "out at the bar" drinker. I usually like to drink at home where it's cheap and you get to pick what plays on the tv. But that all changed one night about a month or so ago

rock in: that Carson Daly show What a lovely day off I had today. I met up with a few of my co-workers for a day out. We hit a super-snazzy designer department store first to take a look at prom dresses. The selection was much much smaller than I had expected, but the few that they had were very cute and vintage-looking. So after a brief walk through, we headed out and check out the new Pottery

rock in: the Manhattans - Kiss and Say Goodbye I would really like to be cleaning the bathroom right now, but Glenn's sleeping (he's been working graveyard the past few weeks) and the bathroom is right next to our room, so...yeah. It really needs a good cleaning, and the dishes also need a good washing, but the kitchen is right below our room and they make lots of noise, so I think maybe I'll

rock in: The Velvet Underground - I Found A Reason So I got this email from an old friend of mine the other day. We've been friends since 7th grade, and though we haven't really been in contact all that much since I moved, still remain friends. So anyway, she sent me this email and it really bothered me a lot. See, she's in the National Guard and is one of the specific persons that I am worried

I mean, yes, I don't need a mega DVD changer or anything like that. Just a basic, no-frills sort of thing to watch some high quality DVDs on. I know some of you out there are savy with this sort of thing, so help me out please

A bit of a downer today. As I was on the bus, making my way home today, I was thinking about some of the friends that I once had. Certain people who were once so much a part of my life, and today, I have no earthly idea where they are or how they're doing. I think of them often and have even tried writing or calling in an attempt to reconnect to no avail. I suppose our times have passed. The sun

rock in: Frank Sinatra - Come Fly With Me I woke a little before 5 am yesterday and did my morning business and headed to work. My allergies were in full gear the day before, so I had took an Allegra with breakfast so that I would be able to make it through the day. By the time I got to work, I slowly began to realize that the darn thing wasn't working. The dripping of the nose, the watery,

The war worries me. I think of all the people - friends, family, and the like - that are in the military in some way shape or form. I think of them going over to Iraq and having to fight with equipment

rock in: Martha Stewart Living PANTS ON FIRE!!! You've probably noticed that I am pretty much doing laundry just about every time I have a day off. Today was no exception. Now, on every other occasion that I have done laundry, I go over to the washer and remove the lint tray and find it ridiculously stuffed full of the 10 mini-sized loads-worth of lint that Glenn's granny does. I always silently

Today is the third day in a row that it's snowed and in case you haven't noticed, it's MARCH. What the heck? Last night I got to work until 3 a.m. bringing in all our lovely new Spring product, so on our break, a

rock in: a moment of silence I am really really saddened by the passing of Mr. Rogers. I wasn't a superfan, but he was one of the few decent, gracious, and genuinely nice guys there were for us youngsters to look up to. I keep seeing the little clips of him on various tv stations and then the "1928 - 2003" comes up and I'm brought nearly to tears. He taught us how to share and how to ask

It's a good thing I'm not a ninja or something. I would totally blow my cover. 14 game unbeaten streak. Holy shmoly. And a goose egg for my man tonight. It's about time. He's deserved it all season.

Good times. Today, I was reminded of another musical gentleman who I love, his name being Ben Folds. He's just so damn great.

Good news though. Glenn and I are now the proud holders of credit! Hoorah. Thanks for the hook-up. You know I'm talking to you. Oh yeah! So I might just
