This heat is getting to me

As most of my f-list is in the same boat as I am, I am pretty sure that I don't need to expound on how utterly uncomfortable the temperature is right now. I feel like every inch of my body is sweating, which really isn't all that unlikely.

At least I can be thankful that the campaign period has already stopped -- there are no more roving vehicles blaring stupid campaign jungles making an already bad day even worse. It feels like my neighborhood has not been this quiet for a very long time.

I only have two candidates left on my shortlist for President, but up until now I am still completely undecided. Here's to hoping that I will get an epiphany at the voting precinct tomorrow and hopefully cast a vote for the best leader our country can have under these circumstances.

Here's a few more updates on George Rekers, the Christian right leader who was caught with a rent boy while returning home from vacation.

THe rentboy, whose real name is apparently Jo Vanni Roman (Did he come from a different solar system?), says that Rekers favored the "long stroke". What is the "long stroke", you ask? Let me quote Mr. Roman.

"...a complicated caress "across his penis, thigh... and his anus over the butt cheeks," as the escort puts it. "Rekers liked to be rubbed down there," he says."

This would be mildly arousing if Rekers didn't look like this. And wasn't a hypocritical homophobe.

Finally, for those interested, here's Gawker's how-to guide to hiring a rent boy.

No, I won't talk about politics

Instead, I will be talking about Bug Hall. Actually, more like posting pictures.

In case you don't remember him, he played Alfalfa in the 1994 Little Rascals movie.

He looked like this back then.

This is what he looks like now.

Yes, that is his peen.

I sincerely hope that I have ruined your childhood now.

Also, there's this: A Christian right leader was caught with a rent boy while returning home from vacation.

His excuse: The rent boy was merely acting as a "travel assistant" who helped him carry his luggage around since he just had "surgery". Do notice that in this photo, rentboy is not carrying any bags at all.

And just for fun, a photo of the rentboy with a list of his...uhm...services.

I see Mr. Rekers has a thing for twinks.

Here's what you get if you hire said rentboy:

"Massage, good times, Travel, escort for days, nights and weekends, My name's Geo. 20 year old, 5'9'', 130 pounds, 28'' waist size,8x6" UNCUT, VERSATILE, NICE ASS. Puerto Rican, fair/light-Skin, blond hair, blue eyes and athletic/muscular built. I'm a college guy, masculine, educated, really easy-going, great to get along with, can hold a conversation and passionate You could just say I love to have a good time. Very clean, professional, HIV and Disease FREE. For a sensual meet or companionship. Will do anything you say as long as you ask ;D Repeat encounters are always more exciting for me and make it more casual and comfortable for you as well. Call or text anytime."

"Weight: 132lbs (60kg), Height: 5' 9" (175cm), Body Hair: Smooth, Build: Lean/Swimmer, Eye Color: Blue, Hair Color: Blonde, Foreskin: Uncut, Cock Size: Large, Safe Sex: Always Safe, Sexual Position: Versatile, Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, Drugs: Non-Drug User, Smoking: Non-Smoker, Ethnicity: Latino, Languages Spoken: English, Spanish, Tastes / Specialties / Fetishes: Vanilla, Leather, Anal, Oral, Shaving, Spanking, Role Playing, Kissing, Toys, Feet, Talents: Modeling, Go-Go Dancing, Stripping, Massage, Travel Companion, Tour Guide, Interpreter."

His rates are $200 to $300 a day, so that's $3,000 or P150,000 for the whole vacation. For that much money, I hope he did a lot of "luggage lifting".

A little breather

I'm a little tired today, as the past week has consisted of me and my co-workers going all around the metropolis interviewing people for our section. We've talked to a senator, a councilor, a furniture designer, and a broadcaster in many different cities, and doing that in this heat isn't exactly at the top of my favorite things to do.

Physical discomfort notwithstanding, the conversations we've been having with these people have been very interesting. I've had my school insulted("That university's only claim to fame is its longevity."), asked to vote for a certain party, and gazed at really beautiful furniture. The week certainly hasn't been boring.

This is Elian Gonzales.

You probably remember him from this brouhaha. Also, for this picture when he was six.

Maybe it's not quite the same thing, but it always puts a smile on my face that whatever the new hot spot in the metro is, the gays are always there first.

Three videos today. One has a spoiler for Glee, one is an actual glee club performing, and the other features 8-bit characters decimating New York.


Kurt's going to be a Cheerio!


I love the costumes!

Lesbians and Chatroulette

I went on Chatroulette for the very first time today, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was very much aware that penises have a habit of popping up over there, so I girded my loins and prepared myself for the inevitable assault.

Maybe because it's the middle of the night or maybe because Chatroulette's creator wants to take all the dirty fun out of it, but I did not encounter even one penis on my short Chatroulette sojourn. Granted, I only managed to talk to about three people: the first two seemed as confused about the site as I was, while the third one was from Albania and did not have a firm grasp of the English language. It wasn't that bad of an experience.

I'm thinking of trying it out again later today. Let's see if I change my opinion of the site.

Two videos today. One is about lesbians and the other was made by two lesbians. One of which is Sue Sylvester. Or Jane Lynch, if you prefer her real name.


I. LOVE. THESE. BOYS. ALSO NICHOLAS HOULT IS THERE.


I CAN'T BELIEVE SUE SYLVESTER IS GETTING MARRIED.

On meeting Neil Gaiman

As everyone who follows me on Twitter already knows, I met and interviewed Neil Gaiman last Thursday. Those very same people also know that I crashed and burned quite spectacularly.

See, I wasn't really expecting that I'd be given an opportunity to actually talk to Neil Gaiman. I had contacted the organizers weeks before they even confirmed that Neil Gaiman was going to be coming here about maybe doing an interview, but when I didn't get a reply I thought that maybe it just wasn't in the cards.

Imagine my surprise when I got the e-mail asking me if I would be open to interviewing Neil Gaiman ONE-ON-ONE. I entertained thoughts of maybe wowing him with insightful questions and the like, or maybe just asking something that would make him laugh.

That would prove to be my downfall, as I spent the days leading up to the interview fretting over every single question that came to mind. By the time I was face-to-face with him, all the questions I was left with felt like shit warmed over.

He was very accommodating, of course, and didn't make me feel like a stupid twat. But, oh my goddess, did I beat myself up over that whole sordid fiasco. And all throughout the weekend all these great question that of course I would never get to ask now.

Ian Mckellen's website says The Hobbit will start filming in July.

Focus on the naked McGregor

Although I don't really travel by plane all that much, I have been on them on more than one occasion. And while I've experienced all the usual things that stress you out in the airport and on the plane -- unsavory seatmates, long lines at the toilet -- I don't think I've ever really gone through a horrible experience.

I can't say the same for four-year-old Ryan Thomas. He's disabled, and the TSA asked him to remove his leg braces and walk through a metal detector unaided.

That's just cruel.

There are even more airport horror stories over at the comments section of Gawker.

As most everyone on my flist already knows, Alexander McQueen died last Thursday. Gawker has an obituary complete with pictures up, while Jezebel screencapped McQueen's final tweets. On the other hand, ONTD reports that the Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket his funeral.

I've never really seen an Alexander McQueen creation up close, but I have been an admirer of what I've seen of his work on magazines and various other media. The fact that he was out and proud and married his partner just makes this loss twofold.
