Meh.

I forgot to talk about Pride. Wanna know why? Because I remember so very little of it. See, I woke up this past Sunday morning, missing Brian, who’d had to leave the day before to go to Atlanta for a business thing. I cleaned the house and bought some booze, sent a text message to about ten people to join me at the house for drinks before the parade, and forgot to eat a thing.

So when four people showed up at my house – apparently I’d accidentally clashed with another pre-Pride party – I was operating on an empty stomach and a bit of excitement, and I promptly drank two vodka and club sodas, three glasses of white wine, and two beers. Chambers drove me to the parade, where we met up with some friends, and he also bought me a very large Park Long Island Iced Tea, and by the time the Parade started I was a goner.

Once the whole thing was over I was tired and cranky, and it looked like it was going to rain. I’d been standing on the bleachers with my neighbor, Steve, who was so kind as to drive me home almost immediately after the street was clear. I got like 10 pictures, and stayed for probably 2 hours, and I realize now that things just aren’t as much fun when my man isn’t around. 

We Should Do Guest Voices. We’d Be Awesome.

So I was clicking through Flickr today and came across a bunch of photos of people as Simpsons characters. Turns out the Simpsons Movie website has a fun little toy where you can make yourself into a character. And you know I can’t resist rendering myself in cartoonish glory. So, without further ado, Brian and me – and a bunch of other people! – Simpsified!

Bri & Me Simpsified

A few new sites for you to check out:

Passive-Aggressive Notes. It’s my favorite new blog, consisting of just … well, the name is self-explanatory. Who hasn’t seen some mean little note tacked somewhere, in the break room at work, for example, or left by a roommate who, despite the fact that you see one another every day, is pathologically unable to confront you to your face about a minor little issue? I love this site.  

Hypeful. A new pop culture blog started by my friend Lucas, to whom I am going to write an impassioned plea, begging to be allowed to contribute. If you check it out today you can see what the baby on the cover of Nevermind looks like now.

Comics Curmudgeon. The oldest of the sites I’m listing here, this one analyzes the worst of the comics pages, which I’ve said for years are, without Bill Watterson or Gary Larson, little more than a vast wasteland of meaningless bullcrap. Except Doonesbury, of course. My personal favorite post of all time happened to appear there yesterday, wherein he analyzes a particularly disturbing installment of Popeye.
