The Beer Bar

I used to really like about half of Southland and hate the other half. Loved the patrol officers and Lydia (young black detective) but couldn't stand most of the other detective stories. Deep into lives I didn't give a shit about to tell yet again the dime-a-dozen(-hundred) story of a marriage on the rocks because the idiot wife married a cop yet can't stand being married to a cop... Luckily they killed off an annoying detective or two and divorced the cunt-wife (hope we never have to see her again, she played annoying way too well), and the other stories have gained some great depth and texture. And the stuff about LA, hearing two officers joke about different ar…

So we have just pushed into May. To date I have not hired a single escort this year. I have no desire to do so at the moment either. I have met a few guys through different avenues and am well satisfied. How about you guys? How many escorts have you hired so far this year?

I doubt this happens to just anyone every day. . .aren't they just adorable? I want them as neighbors too. . .

Has anyone watched this show? I discovered it a while ago and at first didn't think too much about it, but have gotten hooked on it. the questions range from G to X but what i fiind interesting is that these guys in their 20's can be out and open on TV such a change from "our generation". there are 5 guys on the show that revolve around 12 or so regulars. Matt Barker(2nd clip) and Taylor James(blond in first clip) are two that I would love to jump on! There are 20 questions each show, it is a MTV show, but it plays on LOGO here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGp3TtWoy9U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwSkrVLJb3E

I donate books to my local library and recently one of the books I donated was checked out. It was a rewarding experience. Most libraries lack recent books. If you have good books please donate. You can share knowledge through books.

While listening to the latest Jonny McGovern podcast this week, I heard mention of three websites devoted to celebrity gossip (often with tons of blind items about people behaving badly).

Mick Jagger will host the Season Finale of Saturday Night Live. That will be an interesting choice. It's like it will be on fast forward I'm sure. I wonder if he will sing as well?

I am sure many have been influenced by parents or school teachers ... what I am curious about what public person has had the most impact on your life and if you can share why that would be great!

The trailer for The Dark Knight Rises has been released in advance of running with The Avengers on Friday. It's very quiet, scary, and seems to build on a lack of hope, from which a hero will rise. I'm fascinated by the role they seem to have Catwoman playing, and I managed to understand most of what Bane said, so there's that. But it's really a teaser, without very much Batman at all.

So I thought I'd put a few things I've been wondering about lately in a post... 1. Have you heard of BURN NOTICE? I love that show! Michael Westin is played by Jeffrey Donovan. Have you ever noticed that he hardly EVER EVER EVER does interviews? He keeps a very low profile. I've even ordered the BLU-RAY dvds hoping for commentary tracks but they don't even do those on the burn notice seasons. It's like they run their entire show like a spy network. One thing I have always wondered about is who helps them with their spy advice. 2. do you know the show MAD MEN? how about the character PETE on Mad Men? He's quite ascetic. Lives in a very sparse house in Los Angeles. He on…

Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks are starring in a new movie "Sparkle" and they released a first image of the two from the movie. This is the Whitney that we all hope comes back eventually. I just wish her voice was back. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20563718,00.html

Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream" sold for a record $120 million at auction on Wednesday at Sotheby's, far exceeding pre-sales estimates of about $80 million. The vibrant piece from 1895, the most famous art work in the world still remaining in private hands, went under the hammer at Sotheby's Impressionist and modern art auction, where clients and press packed the salesroom for the much-anticipated sale. Bidding started at around $50 million for the work, one of four versions by the Scandinavian painter being sold by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, and elapsed over about 15 minutes until an unnamed bidder by telephone gave the final offer of $119,922,500, includ…

The next closest is Samsung at 15% WOW a huge difference. In fairness to other Android tablets the Kindle Fire is also the most skinned of them all. If one did not know about the Android OS he might mistake it for a OEM OS of Amazon. Anyone here own the Kindle Fire? If so how do you like it?

At the Tribeca premiere of his movie Any Day Now, about a gay couple adopting a mentally challenged kid, Alan Cumming talked about myths of gay parents. “You know, most of the abuse against children comes from straight parents—from straight men, actually. And its a terrible misstatement that gay men are somehow going to be more abusive to their children. It’s absolutely not true in any way. And yet still there’s kind of this myth in society. And I find that part of the whole prejudice that gay people suffer. We’re still fighting against it and I hope that this film will in some way help to eradicate that.”
