I like being the first one

After Macy's, I like to be the first one with my Christmas Tree(s) up. I forgot that I bought a bonch of $2.99 CB2 ornaments last year after Christmas. This one is my favorite ornament. And this is my favorite Christmas so far, for sure. It's the first one where I've done what I want. That's what Christmas is all about: you know, valet parking in Palm Springs.

Sweet. Chin. Music.

This is when you know you've made it.

New Car

So what do we think? I've been looking for about two months, and I think I've settled on a winner.

This is the Nissan Rogue. She's a 2011 with front Wheel Drive and all the Sirius, GPS, JBL, blue light bells and whistles you can imagine. I've been a Nissan fella for about 11 years and I just feel comfortable in their Japanese metals. Call me anti-American if you must, but I'll make up for it by getting an SUV. Well, it's a mini-SUV. Sedans scare me. And I'm a bitch. I don't want to be at the same level as the rest of you--and neither do my dogs. What do you think? Probably will buy sometime between Thanksgiving and New Years.

Election Spin!

One of my favorite moments as an American is visiting the polls on election day in 2008. So many gay people were there to vote, in long lines to oppose prop 8 and to support Barack Obama. It was an amazing moment of brotherhood among progressive people. I'll never forget it, or the IHOPing afterward. To honor election day, spin class tonight is election themed. It's music about the issues, or voting, or choosing, about the future or the past--and we finish with a song from the world's most successful election winner ever. Thanks for visiting and for bringing friends!
