wunderkind

poor monkies. so much to tell so little time. So, i got back from Upstate New York yesterday morning. I had to get up at 3:45 am, to catch a 7:10 am flight in Burlington, VT. In order to get there we had to take the ferry across Lake Champlain. God, what a mess it all turned up to be. United didn't have enough employee's there, so the flight started to taxi for take off, only to have a big truck come on the runway to de-ice the wings of the plane.

Are you kidding me? And to boot I had the most awful pair of oldies next to me. Anyway got back sooo late, and kevin was waiting for me.

and thats all i will say about that.

While I was in the airport last week though, waiting to leave Philly, i had a "celeb" spotting. Matthew Rush and his partner, i assume it was his partner anyway. They both looked the same, too tight jeans, and way way big muscles...but Matthew didn't look like he does on the boxart............anywho, thought it was vely funny.

Had a great holiday. Mom did good by me. Lots of good stuff...best of all was tickets to see Wicked. I have really wanted to see this for a long time...know the music, read the book......all the good gay duties. got a gift card for Barnes and Noble, plan on getting Son of a Witch with that gift card.

For New Years Eve we are going to NYC and going to the Roxy. Not my choice. Don't wanna go there, but our friends do....after Halloween at Crobar, i just wasn't feeling the whole messy circuit thing. not at all. and i am a little nervous about it to be completely honest...but i will just hold my breath and hope for the best.....feeling a bit more vulnerable than i like lately.

Other than that, not much to report.Hope every one is well and if I don't get a chance to update...have a great holiday kids....

Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!!!!

tis i, the monkey man

I love love love this little piece of anger/fire. Its more or less a good pictoral like-ness of me these last few days/months/years....but i beat myself up too much then don't i sophia.?
alright - back to basics, back to basics. Holiday has been sorta discolored this year. Without any party at our gorgeous house, I've not gotten the spirit to the max yet, it's coming though. Totally excited for this weekend. I fly to my mom's, just outside of Plattsburgh, NY this Thursday night, and come back next Wednesday. I am going by myself, kevin is going to his parents. Our first year apart, but it's ok. My mom really appreciates me coming up there, and i am happy to make her happy. And we're all happy now. ?

Of course we saw Brokeback Mountain this weekend. It was really good, Haunting is the only descriptor that fits. It truly is the after effects of the movie that get you in the special spots. And i don't mean beneath your underwear, perv.
My heart hurt, my stomach felt funny, and i cried about them - ennis and jack twist.
Sad.
good.
Power.

What else? I have to go now, it's that time of the night, to go , home.
I cannot cannot cannot stop eating. good times man, good times. How is everyone else doing? Shout out kiddo.
Nate
PS - hilary got a dog, Molly. Pictures to come soon.

switch it on

so today i find myself manically infused with too much caffeine, too much idling, and way way too much anticipatory excitment for it being friday. It's all too much really. but then again, i may just be a little dramatic. just a touch, really a trifle..........

Things that make me purr:
James Blunt
the promise of Memoirs of a Gaaaaaysha, Brokeback Mountain
Christmas shopping
Nip/Tuck (specifically julia and that special little army man who did the doctor up the hooser)
Kiehl's Musk
my special new cap
my special new jeans
my special new christmas tree
friday
saturday
sunday
plane trips
seeing my old friends from high school over the holiday
NEW YEAR'S EVE in NYC (any recommendations little ones)

yes, its funny how we lend ourselves to happiness when the christmas lights are on, and how we can transcend ugliness to be happy for almost a whole month........

in madge's own words -
how DO you bump and grind it?

eyes closed and mouth wide open for drinky poo

nick and ant

Come on check it out with me...i hope you .....feel the same way too

So this was kevin and i at his party....he just arrived and was totally totally happy and surprised after an hour and a half scavenger hunt. Too fun right?
More pictures in a minute.

So on to updates...nothing to update.

Well

Thats not all true. We thought we had a roomate again, but its not going to work out, so more hunting....or lack thereof. Our roomate just opened a salon in Chelsea - on 25th street between 6th and 7th. So he's gone and we are trying to get someone else in, not pressed or anything, but we're working on it.

I just booked my flight up to Plattsburgh, NY for Christmas. This will be the first year Kevin and I are not together for the holiday- he's going to his parents, we usually go there, but they are waiting on their new house to be built, so it's just a good year for me to be with my mom. It's soooo frickin cold up there though.

Something odd this Christmas season. Not a lot of parties for us. We always throw a huge one every year, this year we did not. And in return got not many invites for other people's parties. We're we only ever invited because we invite people to ours? No - can't be.
Oh well.
We put up our tree last night and trimmed it. I did. Kevin isn't too fond on the trimming of the tree, so he watched, while i trimmed it in my santa thong and rudolph antlers..............
tant pis.
bug off.
