But I also feel bad that I&#8217;m denying the world my day-to-day observations. What&#8217;s a boy to do?<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><br \/>\n<P><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\"><FONT size=\"2\">Well, I suppose I can provide a brief filler beforehand. Last night (Wednesday) is my one weeknight without scheduled obligations (classes or therapy). So I had my friend, Fernando, over for dinner. I even cooked! It was horribly lame, but still edible all the same. Neither of us got sick &#8211; always a good sign. Afterward, we watched the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas on DVD. Ah &#8211; such fun. Is it just me, or were those Aggies the gayest football team ever put on celluloid?<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><br \/>\n<P><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\"><FONT size=\"2\">Ok, here&#8217;s the blog question-thingie I got from Karyn:<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">1. What time did you get up this morning? 7:05am. It&#8217;s funny, my upstairs neighbor&#8217;s alarm clock goes off exactly 10 second after mine.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">2. Diamonds or pearls? Is this a naughty reference? I&#8217;m envisioning early 1990&#8217;s Prince. Anyway, I don&#8217;t like jewelry so I&#8217;ll just take the cash.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? &#8220;Why We Fight&#8221;, the war documentary<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">4. What is your favourite TV show of all time? hmmm &#8211; Strangers with Candy, perhaps?<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">5. What did you have for breakfast? a bowl of Smart Start cereal with 2% milk, a beer mug of orange juice, one multi-vitamin, a banana, and a blueberry yogurt.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">6. What is your middle name? Let&#8217;s not go there<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\"><\/SPAN><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">7. What foods do you dislike? mushrooms and odd texture combinations (like peanuts and chocolate&#8230;though I like both separately)<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">8. What is your favourite crisp flavour? Salt &amp; Vinegar (I&#8217;d have to agree wtih Karyn on this one).<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">9. What kind of car do you drive? I&#8217;m car-free&#8230;don&#8217;t like them&#8230;they&#8217;re mobile death traps<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">10. Favourite Sandwich? Back in the 1980&#8217;s, Au Bon Pain had this great grilled chicken with bernaisse (spelling?). But they stopped making it. Bastards.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">11. Who do you think is a babe? Celebrity? Or people I actually know? HMMM &#8211; David Cross, Seth Green and&nbsp;Breckin Meyer for celebrities. Let&#8217;s leave it at that.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">12. Favourite item of clothing? I&#8217;d have to say my Levi 501&#8217;s (how gay)<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\"><\/SPAN><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">13. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? There are so many places I want to say. For the past few years, Switzerland has been calling me, despite its reputation among Europans as being the most boring country. HMMM &#8211; I suppose that&#8217;s fitting for me, huh?<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">14. What colour is your bathroom? mostly off-white and various shades of grey (it came that way &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t my doing)<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">15. Favourite brand of clothing? I&#8217;ve been leaning toward H&amp;M and Zara the past few years<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">16. Where would you retire to? There are these new gay retirement communities sprouting up in this country so I think that could be a good option so I could be around like-minded people. As for location&#8230;I do like everything New England has to offer, but suspect I&#8217;ll crave warmth as I age. Maybe New Mexico?<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">17. Favourite time of the day? mid-morning. I&#8217;m a day person.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">18. What was your most memorable birthday? Matt&#8217;s thrown me a few surprise birthday parties over the years (though, he typically screwed up and let the cat out of the bag). Maybe 30&#8230;when the party was at our apatment in Whittier Place and he got people from California and Maine to show up.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">19. Where were you born? Cape Cod Hospital<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">20. Favourite sport to watch? I don&#8217;t understand the concept of sports. Does Dancing with the Stars count?<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">21. Coke or Pepsi? I don&#8217;t drink soda<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">22. Vodka or brandy? I don&#8217;t drink alcohol<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">23. Birthday? May 24<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><br \/>\n<P><FONT size=\"2\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\"><\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%; FONT-FAMILY: verdana\">24.
