Great television that is educational as well...

...and it is about the British -- what could be better?

Muchas gracias

I am so grateful to Brazil for creating my friend who came to visit me tonight.

More than a modern day babysitter...

...it is a surrogate boyfriend on lonely nights.

At the crossroad of Unexpected and...

...what the hell have I gotten myself into this time?

Dinner with friends and family...

...one of my friends, and a friend's family, but still a nice get away nonetheless.

Never been good at this...

...especially when I am the one doing the interviewing.

A new player to the cast of characters

The roommate's cousin arrived in town today and she is lovely.

Absent minded to a point

Forgetful yes, but always properly clothed.

Catching up on my soaps...

...who knew so much could happen in a fictional town in Pennsylvania.

The rain maker undone

He partied long and strong and then the draught came upon him again.

Here it is...

...the Miss USA/Miss Universe pageant marathon.

It's raining man...

...and the rain maker is in town.

My own personal support and friend in one

Now there is something the other guys can't offer can they...I don't think?

Regular blogging to return...

...someday.

Is it confusion or...

...bats in my belfry.

Perfect description of my state of being...

Head not in the clouds, but head of clouds.

And yet another euphemism

And so begins a series of saying the same thing...

Overtime...

...it sucks.

Memories of another day...

Amazon.com used to put this sort of thing up when there was a system outage in the food old days so seemed like a good idea for my own mental system outage.

How do you spell relief

Tonight, it was not R O L A I D S...

Happy Halloween

Also Happy birthday to my kitty...

Fine line between boring and stimulating...

Accounting for Estates & Trusts is not all it was cracked up to be.

Happy birthday Harry...

Why do so many of my friends have their birthday in October?

Happy birthday Min...

Why are so many of my friends so cute?

Reunited, and it feels so good...

Catching up with old friends in a familiar situation is the best medicine in the world.

Sequels out of control?

Never saw Saw the original, no desire to see the release of Saw IV, so why the hell do they keep coming?

Happy birthday Justin...

Isn't he cute...

Chiropractic wonderland...

...everyone should try it.

Now this is getting ridiculous...

but in Blogger's defense, this is user error.

Continuing technical difficulties...

...your patience and understanding during this time are appreciated.

We are experiencing technical difficulties...

...again.  Please stand by.

We are experiencing technical difficulties...

...please standby.

Now that hits the spot

Sometimes massage is just the thing to make you feel better on all your levels.

Screening #5: Straight Guys: Shorts

Shorts programs are always a freakin blast and this program no exception.

Screening #4: Secret Screening

When the Secret Screening is not so gay, does that make it just another movie you accidentally caught on television.

Screening #3: The Picture of Dorian Gray

The only thing more confusing than the movie itself is that David Gallagher can actually put Simon Camden behind him.

Film review coming soon at Sean C. At the Movies.

Screening #2: Naked Boys Singing

What does it say about me when I am more turned on by the songs than the naked boys?

Film review coming soon at Sean C. At the Movies.

Screening #1: Erotic Films of Peter de Rome

It is amazing how you are still taken aback when asked inappropriate questions at a retrospective on classic 1970's gay pornography.

Film review coming soon at Sean C. At the Movies.

Down for the count...

After a week of losing a fighting battle with this cold, I had to take a sick day...

Celebrate!

Happy National Coming Out Day...everyone!

Rule my world...

This little man should not be in my head...

PayPal

Not as easy as it should be and definitely not my friend this day...

Medicine head...

I hate being sick...

Judgment, Prejudice and Profiling

I saw this gem of a program on GSN tonight. It is a game where a panel of five people view clips of 5 contestants who are all trying to get the panel to award them $25,000.00. Each round of the game the panel learns something new about the contestants and after each round the panel must decide one contestant to eliminate -- often with very little information.

The overall premise is to examine how people make decisions and based on what potential prejudices. I watched the entire 90 minute episode wanting to know more about the panelists, since I am curious how they came up with their, more often than not, completely ridiculous conclusions about these people. It also made me start to think about my own profiling of people and wonder how much of it is based on prejudice and judgmental arising out of my own baggage.

I have always been somewhat accurate at profiling people based on only knowing very little about them. I usually attribute it to understanding the core human patterns of behavior from my literature and sociology study. But now it makes me wonder if there is something more to it.

I have a belief in the metaphysical, but never believed I was specially attuned to it. But after watching this show, I wonder if I do have an ability that I just need to develop more or is this the first time in a long time I have been faced with the level of stupidity that exists out there. In any case, I think the bottom like is, I need a vacation.

Saturday night in the city...

Only because he was in town would I be watching you.

Ewings?

My friend has returned and he assures me that Ewings have indeed left the city...

Annie Lennox inspired...

here comes the cold again...

She is no Lindsay Wagner...

...but Michelle Ryan is winning me over.

The written word...

I may be betraying my calling, but sometimes nothing beats the real thing...

Comfort food...

When you're just starting that first fall cold, there is nothing better than a little comfort food, to warm the heart and soul.
