Brad and His Cat

/ Paul / Leave a comment

Brad and I had a very relaxing evening. After Brad helped a friend move things around in his house so he could have the floors refinished, he and I went to dinner. After some stimulating conversation over dinner, we went back to Brad’s house to just hang out and enjoy each other. We were relaxing and Brad’s cat was needing attention so Brad started playing with his cat. If I haven’t mentioned it before, Brad’s cat only has 3 legs. Poor thing. She gets around just fine. Of course I had my camera with me in case I had the chance to take even more pictures of Brad so I took several pictures of Brad playing with his cat. They turned out so cute I just had to post some. After playing with the cat and with Brad for awhile, I decided I should go home. Our success sleeping together dictated that I not press my luck and sleep with him. He never had a good nights sleep. While I wanted to spend the night with him and feel his body next to mine, I knew that he wouldn’t be able to get any sleep. So I thought it best that I just go home and we would both get some sleep. We both have been busy and tired this week so it’s just as well.

TV Night

Sweet Brad came over this evening. We watched the news together. We were going to watch an old favorite Logan’s Run. But instead we got side tracked and watched Playing it Straight and Wonderfalls on Fox.

Fox in general is a shitty network. They take other popular shows and tweak them just enough to put them on their network. Playing It Straight is a take off of Boy Meets Boy on Bravo that was on this past summer. Playing It Straight is about a straight woman trying to find love and money among 14 guys. The twist is that some of the 14 guys are gay. They don’t know who is gay and who isn’t. In the first episode she meets the guys and they all find out that some of the guys are gay. No one comes out because if she picks a gay guy then the gay guy gets a million dollars. If she picks a straight guy they split a million. By the end of the first episode she has to pick two guys to leave the ranch. She did and turns out both the guys she picked were straight. All the guys are good looking and could be gay or straight. It was hard to tell. We haven’t found out who is gay yet and I don’t think we will. I thought it was a stupid show. The girl started crying at one point and it was so lame. She had only met the guys a few hours before and was already crying. Doubt this show will provide anything but humor while it runs it’s course.

Wonderfalls was a different kind of show. Thom Shales in the Washington Post gave it a good review. I thought it was odd. All these objects kept talking to this girl telling her to do things. I can’t even go into much detail because Brad and I were laying on the couch and I kept nodding off and missing parts. Brad really liked the show. Coming from a guy who doesn’t have a TV or cable, I thought it must say something for the show. I told him he could come back next Friday and watch it again. I doubt I’ll watch it again. There was one part where the sister of the girl who was talking to objects realized she was a lesbian. That’s about the only thing I found interesting. I’m sure if Brad was writing about this show he could tell you so much more. I didn’t care for it and therefore can’t tell you much about it.

I’ve had a busy week and was really tired so instead of staying over, Brad went home. Brad had a very busy week and was tired too so it was best for us both to get some sleep. I have a work related thing all day tomorrow so Brad and I will do something fun tomorrow night I’m sure. I always enjoy spending a few hours with Brad. He makes me think.

Carrie Bradshaw Moment

/ Paul / Leave a comment

I’m having a Carrie Bradshaw (ala Sex and the City) moment.

How soon in a relationship should you rely on someone to do things for you? Such as take you to the airport, help you drop your car off for service, accompany you to social functions, etc. Somewhere the lines are fuzzy early on in a relationship. I think it depends on the experience of the members of the relationship. Some would assume that once you’ve decided to be a boyfriends/couple that you can rely on that person for those types of things. Others would argue that you should assume nothing and take each occurrence as they happen. I guess each event has it’s parameters that would dictate the rules governing such decisions. To be safe, it might be wise to assume nothing and work towards greater understanding and communication. For those of us who are literal, clarification is needed. I will seek clarification.

Attraction Test

/ Paul / Leave a comment

Okay, I have followed the trend of the gay blogs (here, here, and here) to take the attraction test on Match.com. Just to see what kind of guy they think I’m attracted to, I took the test and here are the results. According to Match.com:

Here is my type of guy.

Here is my maybe guy.

Here is not my type of guy.

Here is my guy.

How did they do? I actually think they did a pretty good job of predicting the kind of guy I would be attracted to. I think Brad looks very much like the guy they picked for me. Surprising. With or without the test, I know Brad is attractive but he’s taken so you can’t have him. he he he

Book Time

Since there was nothing to write about last night and nothing of significance to watch on TV, I decided to finish the book I’ve been reading. I finished The Boys Of Swithins Hall last night. I wasn’t as impressed with the book as I thought I might be. The story is about a house master of a boys school in England. Throughout the book he tells of his sexual experiences at the boys school and during his young life. He’s barley older then the boys he is watching over. There are very descriptive sexual encounters between himself and the boys at the school. Basically this is a smut novel. There’s no love story involved. I usually prefer love stories. This was a decent diversion from my usual choices. If you are looking for a decnet smut novel, here it is. If you are looking for a love story, skip this selection. One thing that annoyed me in the book is that it is obviously published in England. They don’t use periods after Mr. or any of the titles used in the book. Not a big thing, just got on my nerves.

Tonight I will begin reading Tim and Pete. Here is a review of the book I found at Barnes and Noble.

“James Robert Baker’s groundbreaking novel of simmering rage and justifiable violence is follows combative ex-lovers Tim and Pete as they are thrown together on a bizarre trek from Laguna Beach, Calif., to Los Angeles. But it is when they find themselves on the trail of an anarchist gang of queers that Baker’s novel takes off with a roar. Sarcastic, satiric, violent, and exhilarating, Tim & Pete is a fantastically imagined, boldly realized vision of the cultural war that continues to rage in the hearts of the disenfranchised and in the streets of America.”

I’m not sure it’s the kind of book I’d enjoy but I’ll give it a try. I don’t often put down a book without reading at least half of it. Actually, I can’t remember the last book I actually couldn’t get through. We’ll see about this one. Of course I’ll write what I think about it after I read it.

On another note, there is debate and speculation on a few sites that suggest that Apple may be returning to their original Apple logo. Some sites say returning to the gay style logo my not be a good idea. I don’t really have an opinion. I like both the old and the new. I don’t have a preference.
