Scattered.

Business first: a new HomoMojo post from The Groom (psst! it's me) is up in the "Life" section. I hope you enjoy. Leave feedback!

I'm more than a little scatterbrained tonight - two nearly simultaneous posts is more difficult than I thought. Try these on for size - a few random facts that amused me:

I spent the entire day today at work thinking it was Friday. Needless to say, I was disappointed on more than one occasion.

The TVs in the buses broke down in the middle of the little word game they put on in between "news" stories. Damn - now I'll never know what movie _ield _f Dr_ams was going to be. And a word to the wise - if you're going to sleep on the bus (not recommended, by the by), don't snore. I'm liable to strangle you and nobody would notice or care even if they did.

At the gym tonight, there was this guy I couldn't stop looking at. I'm not usually one who goes in for the whole "bad boy" look - you know, tattoos, etc. I'm not turned off by it, but it isn't a major turn-on either. But this guy had what looked like an Egyptian hieroglyph on his chest - a large bird of some sort. And he had on a hoodie that said "The Pogues" on the back. And then he opened his mouth and the most amazing Irish brogue nearly made me drop the freeweights on my foot. It was then I decided to stop by the grocery store and buy some Lucky Charms^tm.

At the store (I decided against getting the cereal, FYI. Who needs all the sugar?), I perused the produce when "I Love Rock N Roll" came on. I instantly became that guy - the one who bops along and even sings a little when he knows the tune in public. The store was nearly empty so I only got noticed by the lil' emo kid who was stocking up on yogurt and soy milk. He seemed amused. I saw him bopping along when he thought I wasn't looking. I'm sure he wasn't as excited as I was when "Circle In The Sand" by Belinda Carlisle came on afterwards. But he did seem to like "Enjoy The Silence" as we were at the check-out.

OK, so I didn't really go to the store for Lucky Charms^tm. I was picking up my prescription at the pharmacy next door and took the opportunity to do some long overdue grocery shopping. $40 later I basically have enough to last the weeknd, if I eat sensibly (yeah right!). Ah, impulse shopping. But I need to make those cucumber sandwiches for my impromptu tea party on Sunday...

...which reminds me that I was supposed to write about my theater experience last night. I saw The Importance of Being Earnest at the Ahmanson - but I'm going to put that one off again. It deserves a whole post to itself because of some funny tie-ins. Sneak preview: Lynn Redgrave was great and the seats kicked ass.

That's all for tonight, kiddos. Bang bang!
