Yesterday, Dyanna came over and we decorated cookies for the hell of it. Dyanna is by far a mos def better cookie decorator than I but I gave it a good shot.
While we were listened to the 80's music station on cable, head bopping to Wham and Richard Marx, I realized that I think my high school reunion was this weekend. I decided a few months ago not to go. Since moving, I don't really have it in my budget to afford any traveling right now. It would have been nice to see some folks I haven't seen in a long time, but it's also nice to pay for air conditioning since it is 147° outside.
I know this is Pride weekend for many of you. So just for you, I made a very special cookie.

Dear Internets,
I've been blogging since 1745 so you can imagine the vast amount of fascinating content that is available for your view pleasure. Colonoscopy humor? Check. Endless photos of my cat? Check. Constantly making fun of my friend Thomas? Check.
(Seriously, Thomas should campaign for his own category. Doncha think?)
However looking through some of the search terms you've used to find my site, I feel compelled to answer a couple of your queries.
Is Jonatha Brooke a lesbian?
No.
Is Jim Brinkman gay?
OMG YES!
Sincerely,
Brian
PS - There are still no "cheap guitars" here. Sorry to disappoint.
So this lovely fellow, Patrick, has these monthly "submit a quote contests" on his blog. I entered the last one and won. He sent me an iTunes gift certificate for a prize. How cool is he? (Thank you Patrick!)
Here's what I got:
If you like these, you can purchase the iMix on iTunes.
After the jump, read why I like these songs.
It Looks Like Love - Josh Rouse
I've dug Josh Rouse for years, but somehow missed this song. After watching this video, I knew I needed to download it.
Hanging On The Telephone - Blondie
My friend Deek has a Deborah Harry story. Once when he was living in New York, he was at some club. He turned to his side and there was Deborah Harry standing next to him. He said to her, "You're Deborah Harry." She looked at him, put her finger to her lips and said, "Shhhhh."
She. Effin'. Rocks.
Gimme - Jill Scott
Years ago, I used to frequent a bar that showed music videos. Whenever Gimme was on, I was completely transfixed with Jill and her nurse drag. She's good medicine.
Collarbone - Fujiya & Miyagi
Someone suggested I check these guys out. I kinda dig this song.
Tyrone - Erykah Badu
"I'm gettin' tired of your shit. You don't never buy my nothing." Need I say more?
Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille
Free Man In Paris - Sufjan Stevens
Sufjan singing Joni. Blows my mind.
Bad Reputation - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
When I hear this, it makes me miss Freaks & Geeks.
Mona Lisa - Grant-Lee Phillips
Sublime.
You Had Time - Ani DiFranco
One of the best breakup songs ever written.
When the world gets loud, overloaded and seems unruly, it's good to stop, close your eyes and just breathe.
While I toil away at my job, I receive a pix msg from my vacationing co-worker.
That bitch.
