New Domain

My new domain for Bottles finally went live sometime yesterday, it seems. Took long enough. And it seems like the DNS lookup is slow too; that would mean that it takes a long time for the site first to start loading, but then everything’s OK. Is anyone else having this trouble? Does anyone else care?

Back to working on other people’s sites now…

Erroneous Assumptions

PJ said: “and the really shitty part? the “gay community” is just as bad. this community that’s supposed to be about supporting diversity? augh, sorry, i’m not even going to start down that road.”

OK. I’ll start down that road instead. Who didn’t see THAT coming?

Things Sodomites and non-Sodomites (erroneously) assume about me because I like to suck dick:

  • That everything I do is somehow related to sucking dick.
  • That I will be interested in what made for TV movie happens to have a gay character this week.
  • That I really give a flying fuck whether or not any given celebrity is gay.
  • That I really want to see naked pictures of complete strangers the first time they email me (especially when they’re ugly).
  • That having a “very active gay community” or a “big gay scene” is a top consideration in where I choose to live.
  • That I am, God forbid, a “spokesperson” for the “gay community”.
  • That I believe there is such a thing as a “gay community”.
  • That I ever use the acronym “LGBTQ” in everyday conversation.
  • That I don’t laugh at people who DO use it.
  • That I ever read The Advocate or visit Planet Out.
  • That I find the statement “I never would gave guessed about you” to be a compliment (or an insult, for that matter).
  • That, by definition, I have loads of shared interests with every other Sodomite on the planet.
  • That I know about all the crappy music (movies, books, jargon, etc.) that I’m “supposed” to.

Glad to get that off my chest…

Randonly Tuesday

  

I used to trade porn via email. Now I trade pictures of old supermarkets. Thanks Rick and Wayne…

On an unrelated note, does anyone have any brilliant ideas on how best to observe the upcoming fifth anniversary of Planet SOMA? I already used my best ideas last year (reposting the whole site circa March 1996) and the year before (with the parade of front pages). It seems a little wimpy to do either of these again…

On another unrelated note, I can’t stress enough how great New Years Day is for doing laundry. I had six dryers and a whole table to myself and I was able to park right in front of the house when I got home. Heaven…

On a final unrelated note: KABL is back. No more crappy adult contemporary from 1975 mixed with doo-wop. It was a bizarre experiment. It is over. The AM band is a better place. Welcome back Louis and Ella…

Is it just me or have things been a little boring around here for the past couple of weeks? Maybe I should go back to waiting until I actually have something to SAY before babbling…

01.01.01

It’s very disorienting hearing the fireworks outside and watching them on TV inside. Anyway, they’re over now. I’ve done my duty. I can go to bed now, thus allowing me to wake up early and have San Francisco pretty much to myself until 11:00 or so.
