HTC group assignments tomorrow, but I’ll be on a field trip to the Honda (or Toyota) plant… woo.
Thrilled.
Then more laundry, and catching up on more HTC. It’ll be another long day.
Also, Charlie’s back. We don’t have a cat door and I can’t leave the front porch window open forever, but at least he knows where the house is and can come and go as he pleases if there’s a way in.
The Cat Returns
One of my top 3 favourite Studio Ghibli films. I haven’t seen Ponyo yet, but I love Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. I also own Porko Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Kiki’s Delivery service, and 5 or 6 older ones like Castle in the Sky.
When I was in high school, I loved smoking weed. I loved it. But I cut myself to once a month. That was my rule. And so as the first of the month came closer, my friends would be like, ‘All right, what’s the plan this weekend?’ And actually it’s really cool when you do it that infrequently, you can really trip. In hindsight, could I have smoked weed on the weekends? Yeah. But it was cool to do it once a month. I still do that sometimes, I go on little weedfests. I’m a pothead. That’s my drug of choice.

This song makes me cry.
Nick Patrick: Did Americans in 1776 have British accents? 
Reading David McCullough’s 1776, I found myself wondering: Did Americans in 1776 have British accents? If so, when did American accents diverge from British accents?
The answer surprised me.
I’d always assumed that Americans used to have British accents, and that American accents diverged…
Interesting post and not the answer I would have expected!
Neat! Makes sense about NY & Boston
It’s immature, but how can I not be phased by my friends getting naked around me? I can change around them with no problem, but I keep my eyes averted and avoid conversation (an acquaintance saw me last week and came over to chat… WE ARE NAKED I DON’T WANT TO STAND HERE AND TALK TO YOU). Some guys, thought not really the ones I’m ever with, are far more jovial when nude… not I.
It’s honestly not a huge deal, but I’ve had problems with crushes on straight friends as I assume every gay man has, and a long time ago I decided to never get into situations where I’d ever feel anything towards them. I’m pretty sure that includes nudity. It’s not like I’d fall in love with someone if they were NEKKED, but I’m someone who’s embarrassed by sex dreams (and has apologized for them!?).
Maybe the only thing more awkward for me is the fact that David and Ben, who I went swimming with today, will probably READ this. Boys, we should still go swimming; I will just change with my back to you and use the other shower room. No offense.. hah.
JUST GETTING THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM. Other homo buddies, amiright!?
Attempting to make myself a flower for my hair. Very tough! Not sure if it’s done yet/if I like it at all.
Love it.
Where Will’s tumblr name came from.
we don’t have screens in the windows downstairs and our front door doesn’t close, so it was only a matter of time. He’s been outside twice and has come back in eventually, but he’s been gone for about two days now (according to his food bowl and litter box).
I hope he’s ok and can get back in tomorrow if he needs/wants to.
I know I just wrote about Florence, but since then I have been to Venice and am now in NICE, FRANCE. I’m way too tired to write all about Venice right now (loved it, obvi) but so far Nice is like a literal dream and I am on vacation on the FRENCH RIVIERA WITH MY BEST FRIENDS. Yessssssss my life is so prime at this moment.
The only thing I’m worried about is your inevitable depression once you’re back in REAL LIFE.
Watched this on Netflix tonight. Things I agree with and things I don’t, but I always like looking at masculinity through the lense of “gay men”
“Masculinity has to be a special challenge for gay men, because we are attracted to other men, and so the question of what makes a man a man, and how I can be the thing that I desire, is a central question about who we are as a people”
Too many quotes that I’d like to share. It’s pretty amazing how many people, including gay men (and myself) can call some things or people “gay” which makes little-to-no sense when you look at all the gay men out there. They aren’t the same.
“OMG you’d love it, it’s so gay” makes no sense.
“Girl talk, pop culture, Madonna, high fashion… I found myself being a sedentary participant in the gay culture.”
Happy fourth, flies!
Nope, it’s part of a photo I took of myself jumping
