You Queer It First

That’s Gideon Yago. You might know him from MTV News, CBS News, or perhaps from his interviews with Bush, Clinton, McCain, Kerry, and many of their Washington peripherals. Gideon is basically the face of you and me to The Olds when they blabber on to try and gain entry to or keep hold of their position in the White House. He also balances vodka on his head.

I think that perhaps 50% of the time that I’ve hung out with Gideon, he has balanced alcohol on his head. Of those times, only once has a tumbler shattered all over his living room, and I didn’t even have to help clean up! He knows how to entertain. Gideon Gaygo. Obsidian Dayglow. Leggo my Yago.

Yesterday Kathy and I inadvertently ran a halfway house again. Last year we had someone staying on the couch almost all the time. Often it was Jes before she moved nearby, which we liked. Sometimes it was a freeloader that we couldn’t seem to say no to. Last night it was all friends, and it felt good to have the house full again. This must be why my mom now collects strays. Evan’s staying with us on the air mattress downstairs for a bit while he finds his first New York apartment, Jes was over with Kathy and it was late so she stayed on the couch upstairs, and Christian was here with me. Felt like Chelsea and Anna should have been on the chairs in the living room.

Here are my two cents on this year’s VMAs: 1) Pink’s blue coat during her performance was designed and made last minute by Christian, and shipped with great haste. I think she looked amazing in it. 2) Christina Aguilera just ganked Lady Gaga’s look and choreography so hardcore I can’t even believe it. And then her new song was the most blatant Goldfrapp/Kylie ripoff… that said, I loved the whole thing and I can’t wait for her new album. I guess I fell for it.

shit, if you guys wanted more people crashing at your place, you should have told me!!! that was one of the MAJOR things that kept me from going to NY this weekend! i would have even fed you guys!!! oh well…. ill be in NY one day….

anyways, i must say that i give the VMAs this year a solid B…. the host had quite a few hit or miss moments, was kinda bummed the xtina didn’t sing live & F Kanye for not bringing it down for the finale!!! Other than that, the performances were pretty entertaining, speeches were quick & i ain’t gonna lie– when britney came out looking like she did circa 2000/2001, we all teared up in the room!

ttyl & give your mom a hug for me when she gets there….

<3,
me =)
