Living on the Ceiling

I’m back. Yesterday was a Day without Gays and since I am gay, I took the day off, both from work and from here. I was missed at work, and perhaps I was missed here.

Oh, by the way- Nights on Broadway. No one guessed correctly and no one guessed at all. Imagine my disappointment. I suppose I expect too much.

I was able to sleep in yesterday, not getting out of bed until 10:00 when I watched The Daily Show and The Colbert Report with my coffee and cereal. So much more enjoyable than the Today Show and much more informative.

It was pissing out so I decided to stay in. I only ventured out of the apartment to get my mail so I didn’t leave the building all day. I didn’t mind.

I did watch Step Brothers which was funny. Had me with a smile on my face mostly, not really laughing out loud though I did in parts. It was a silly movie and perfect for a rainy afternoon.

The evening was more of the same, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. I have to get off of watching those shows. Not that I don’t like them but I need a break. I need to laugh again.

Does anyone remember laughter?

Since I watched Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert earlier there was no need to record them and plus who wanted to hear Mike Huckabee’s views on same sex marriage again? Yes Huckabee, old wholesome Huckabee is a dickhead. But we knew that already.

Watched Law and Order, which was ok, but definitely not the same without Bill in the room watching it with me. I miss the big lug.

He’s been out of sorts since a theater director friend of his collapsed on the street last Thursday and died. Bill took it upon himself to get in touch with his friends daughter. He organized a Facebook page for the theater director and various people and friends have been checking in and leaving comments.

This morning, for some reason I thought (or dreamt) that the alarm clock was setting me up for the BIG alarm. There is no BIG alarm. I kept hitting the snooze button and wound up getting out of bed at 6:45.

I didn’t hustle and still I wound up in the office before mostly everyone at 8:30. No one asked about yesterday but one of the guys at the trading desk confessed that he was worried that something might have happened due to the stalker.

And the stalker called today. I told her I was out yesterday because I am gay. She didn’t understand that so I told her I was homosexual, which she did get and didn’t believe.

Didn’t stop her calling though and at one point I took the call in a deserted office and told her she was a stupid fucking fag hag bitch. Still she calls and cries in Korean.

I had some errands to run and even though it was raining, I didn’t mind. I have been wearing Bill’s fedora lately and it’s excellent in the rain.

Since I can’t figure out how to post pictures you can check it out on Facebook at

So cut n’paste little doggies.

    I forgot about A DAY WITHOUT GAY, but I did miss your blog. I logged in 3X and kept wondering “what’s up?”

    Gee, I should have gotten those BEE GEE lyrics, I love them. I did recognize the Spirits have Flown reference…..and today’s “laughter” reference is from LED ZEPPELIN, an easy one. I actually saw a hardcore show with THE CRO-MAGS and the lead singer, in pure sincerity, tried to use that line, ugh!

    Good for you! I saw a news report that said how few people missed work! That’s either bs or all gay men in Denver are in the closet but I find that most are pretty openly gay, but I live in Capitol Hill which is historically the “gay” neighborhood . . . Go figure!

    Yeah, now I remember that line in ALMOST FAMOUS. I don’t think it fits chronologically. Led ZEP’s THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME got released in 1976, which is where that RECORDED line is used and made popular from. So how does PENNY LANE know that line whenever ALMOST FAMOUS is supposed to have taken place(early 70’s? ). Oh, I’m an anal-retentive stickler for detail!
