I reached over to smack the snooze on my alarm clock this morning, and I noticed there was a chunk of plastic missing from the face of the clock. I don’t know when it got knocked off, but it’s gotta be sometime in the last month or so. This can’t be good.

A few selected scenes from the big gay parade: * A bemused (but quite good) tejano band on a float for a western-wear store. * Numerous men hitting on Eddy. One guy giving out Mardi Gras-style beads was down to his last beads, and loads of people were reaching for them, including me and his ...
