[Untitled] Running Up That Hill.
Telling Paul, my boyfriend, would prove to be the biggest hurdle I would have to jump. I thought telling my mom would be, but I promised myself that I would be brave and honest. I walked right out into the waiting room and I told her. Paul was in the bathroom at the time so it made it a little easier that I only had an audience of one. The words just fell out of my mouth. I could see the pain and shock register on her face but I held onto my guns and told her that “We will... Read More
The Myth of Gay Privilege
The Birdcage depressed me tonight. You wouldn’t think that a comedic movie combining the talents of Robin Williams with the antics of Nathan Lane could in fact be depressing, but there you have it. A short word about why I was watching it: I am a bit between places to live right now and am staying with a very good friend of mine, Erin. Erin has a roommate who has a 16 year old daughter, Emma. Emma, never having seen some of the classics that I grew up with, is being... Read More

Anglophiles and geeks alike are beside themselves with grief as the news was released today that the actress who played Sarah Jane Smith on Doctor Who has died of cancer-related illness.

The character is widely credited as being the most popular companion of the Doctor to ever grace the small screen. Russell T Davies, creator of... Read More
Transparency
People often congratulate me regarding my willingness to live my life as openly as I do. I was (marginally) in the closet at the workplace when I served in the military, and ever since my discharge I have sworn to be painfully honest about who Ian Awesome really is. Whether it’s my experience being poz or my understanding of life as seen through the eyes of a meth addict, I have been as transparent as possible. The reasons for this are multiple. The first and loftiest... Read More
NEW Santigold (ft Karen O) - ‘Go’
It’s been three years since Santigold’s debut album, which we still haven’t stopped playing. In that time Santogold has become Santigold (legal issues with her name), and she’s collaborated with Christina Aguilera, Kanye West, Lykke Li, Devo, Julian Casablancas and Beastie Boys. But we were starting to wondering if we’d ever hear another another full length album from her. Thankfully, we will! And last week she debuted a brand new track ‘Go’ on Jay-Z’s... Read More
