Summer of Discomfort Summary, Part 1

So here we are, midsummer and I’m still alive. I’m not doing much though, I’m working, full-time. It’s a strange experience, but also strangely satisfying. Seeing how all you other guyses have kept me up to speed with what you are doing I thought I'd return the favour, this is my virtual postcard to you.

So far this summer has consisted of;

YouTube love:
21 and 24 Gear Up (as a matter of fact large parts of the summer has been spent recreating this scene on messenger)
Angels (HD has never looked as good as it does in this brilliant manipulation)
Dee Snider on censorship (this is what I strive to be)
Hero. (Childhood)

Listening to:
Amadou & Mariam – The Magic Couple
Gossip – Music For Men
Snow Patrol – Run - Revised Album Version
Various Artists – New Orleans Jazz Of The 1920s

Reading:
Queer Theology ed. Gerard Loughlin
Crip Theory ed. Robert McRuer

Temptations:
8-bit tie
Soundtrack Shirt
Free Time Watch
Andy Richter Controls the Universe
The Venture Bros. - season 2
Squirrelly T-shirt

When it comes to the discomfort I’m actually doing good. I’ve engaged in some anger, which is not a usual feeling for me to revel in and I’m doing far too well with the angry queer thing (to the extent that I found Ice Age 3 troubling). I am also about to spend a lot of money on pointless gadgets/t-shirts. However when it comes to clean, I am still going with the whole fresh theme so I guess I'm failing there.

All in all a very interesting summer so far. Stay tuned for part 2, it should be here some time mid-August.

Det låter fint, men du borde vantrivas mer!

Jag har helt glömt vad jag skulle snöa in på, så jag har läst biografier om folk. Jenna Jameson, Marilyn Manson, Huset Hilton, samt en massa prinsessor bla i de nordiska kungahusen. Jag vet dock inte alls vad jag ska göra med min nyvunna kunskap.

Jag var på Rusta och hittade ett prickigt påslakanset som hette "Lolly". Jag var tvungen att köpa det, det var ett tecken.

Yours truly/ Lolly

Wonderful to hear your voice again, Ape. I haven't checked all your links. Internet isn't slow. I know slow. But it's nowhere near fast either. But I did check out the 8 bit tie. Wow. I expect to see it round your delicate little neck upon my return.

And Lolly, a pleasure to realize you're alive and kicking as well. I wrote you a postcard. Four weeks ago or so. But I seem to have a problem to get my ass over to the post office (mail boxes seem to be a rare and exotic thing over here, if they exist, at all). But I am working on it.
