I love my friends. I can always count on them to prevent me from embarrassing myself (thanks, Jason, for advising me to remove that horrible photo from my blog yesterday). But I can also count on them to mock me lovingly and create things such as this:<\/P>

That’s Chris’ handiwork there. I love it! It sure beats my pathetic photoshopping attempt from yesterday.<\/P>

Well, tonight I’m getting together with my friends, Sven and Mark (and a gaggle of other gays), to see Kathy Griffin at the Berklee Performance Center. I can’t wait. I’ve not been there since I saw Margaret Cho ages ago. I’m proably going to get my gay card revoked for saying this, but I think I enjoy Kathy’s humor more than Margaret’s now (the Notorious C.H.O. has just become so political…Kathy just pokes fun at the rich and famous). I need my mindless entertainment: no message required.<\/P>

Speaking of mindless entertainment, I noticed a trailer at the end (of should I say beginning) of my street when I got home last night. However, I should note that my “street’ is essentially a court (or, alley, as Chris calls it) and is literally only a few townhouses long. I think this must be the actor(s) trailer for the movie being filmed in my neigborhood. I guess I’ve got a celebrity living on my street (sort of). <\/P>

Or, at least one is getting his make-up applied on my street.<\/P>
