its monday, so that means im going to yell at you to watch "Heroes" and "Studio 60" tonight. Heroes promises to be a BIG show. and speaking of "big"...um...this is from last night's "Big in '06 Awards" on VH1:
did he say "katharine mcphay?"
in all my gushing over katharine, i TOTALLY forgot to mention the fact that her big turnaround on American Idol was her rendition of um..."somewhere over the rainbow."
take a pause and let that marinate.
somewhere....over the fucking RAINBOW. kat mcphee. my wife who pretends to be straight. you mark my words: that bitch is gayer than this.
the Billboard Awards are also on tonight, so im thankin' the Mcphee gods that i have tivo. my wife is doing something on the awards. not sure what, but it doesnt really matter. just WATCH for her! you guys know why.
on Thursday, hopefully ER will keep moving forward with this new storyline:
Weaver gets all the hot professional women over 40, dont she? damn. Weaver's got game. who'da thunk. if she was on the L Word, Tina would have had to hold on to her shit (aka Bette) like WHAT.
there's lots of gay flyin around the ER this season. (fine) gay younger brothers, the hot chick that starred in "Bend it Like Beckham" with Pouts Knightley (dont know which way she swings, but she's hot and the accent..OH MY)
i want...nay...need to know if youre a lesbian the next time im pervin on you at Starbucks. so that i can always tell before i approach you, you must wear this <--click
the commercials for Gayle King's appearance on The View this week said one thing, and one thing only, about her: "Oprah's friend, Gayle King!"
i wont get into why i *heart* Gayle more than Oprah (and i *heart* Oprah a hell of a lot), but wouldn't it suck to have that be the only thing Barbara Walters could say about you, if you were an editor of a magazine that has a 5 million circulation, and you had a 20+ year history as a successful news anchor?
oh well, im sure she's not crying herself to sleep at night. mostly because she's probably too busy sexin' Oprah. hee, the thought of that makes me giggle. hard.
i bring up Groprah (i just coined that, you like?) because sometimes my friend Terra and i joke about me being her *Gayle*. and surprisingly, even with one XL lesbian (extra-lesbian lesbian--that would be me) in our couple, we're still not as gay as Oprah and Gayle. Exhibit A (taken from a recent interview they did with Oprah's mag that Gayle edits):
Lisa: Well, let's get right to it! Every time I tell somebody, "I'm interviewing Oprah and Gayle," the response is always the same: "Oh. [Long pause] Are they…you know…together?"
Oprah: You're kidding. People are still saying that?
Lisa: Every single person. And I say, "No, I don't think so." And invariably, they respond with something like "You know, you're very naive."
Oprah: I understand why people think we're gay. There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women. So I get why people have to label it—how can you be this close without it being sexual? How else can you explain a level of intimacy where someone always loves you, always respects you, admires you?
*a little later in the interview* Gayle: And sure enough, the tabloid headline was "Oprah's Hideaway with Gal Pal." Ridiculous. But that said, I have to admit, if Oprah were a man, I would marry her.
mm hmm.
oh and side note! about a year and a half ago, i had been selling my shirts for about 6 months, and there was lots of interest in them. so i thought that i should let my mom know about em, before she heard it from someone else. my mom's SUPER cool about me being gay, but i dont like talking to her about it or anything sexual...its complicated but im sure some of you can relate. sooo, all you need to understand about my mom is that shes just like me...but in her 50s. when i called her, i was expecting her to be a bit weirded out by "id go gay for..." shirts...and this is what happened...
me: "i just need you to know that i have a tshirt line that people are liking and you might hear about it sometime." her: "oh good! what kind of tshirts?"
me:"well they say "i'd go gay for angelina"...and "i'd go gay for shane" who is this woman on a tv show i like. her: *pause*
me: *worried* her: "make me one that says, "I'd go gay for Oprah!!"
me: uh, what? her: "oh! and one that says, "I'd go gay for Martha." cause i would! cause you know...she's been in prison...
me: uh, what? her: *sounding really excited about this* "make sure theyre the right size"
now finally, to the point of my post. terra naomi:-) one of my best friends, one of the people i respect and admire the most. and one of the sweetest people in the world. *aw, lovefest*
ive mentioned her numerous times here before. so you might know that she has a new web-only little show on youtube called "Virtuality." (look for my lesbian name in the credits:-) ) there's a brand new episode that id love for you to check out and comment on. all the episodes are shorter than 5 minutes, so definitely take a look if you can.
Episode 5 -- in London/Manchester...this one makes me smile
Episode 4 -- im quite proud of this one...
Episode 3 -- im a nerd and Richard Branson is my hero, so all the youtube behind the scenes stuff excites me. 1.65 billion?? *goosebumps*
"Beauty Fades" -- again, one of my top 3 terra songs of all time.
you can add Terra as a friend on myspace at www.myspace.com/TerraNaomi. tell her that "her Gayle" sent you;-)
(i switched the order of this blog entry on purpose...)
i have received a few messages from people wanting me to make the "id go gay for Oprah" shirt my mom thought of (see THIS post! ). you dont have to wait for me to make these officially. i offer personalized shirts! so, if you would like to buy a personalized "id go gay for..." or "id go straight for..." tshirt, like these:
just click here and scroll down. choose "customized shirt" in the pulldown menu near the "add to cart" buttons. if you want it to say "...oh wait!" on the back, just let me know in the order comments. you can have any statement you want as long as its less than 30 characters including spaces. easy as that:-)
ok, so i hate the word "blog." i hate the words "webinar" and "webisode." i hate the word "podcast." there are lots of random words i hate. mostly for reasons that i wont get into here...but if you wanna know, send me a message and i'll bore you with my mild-o.c.d ramblings.
be that as it may, this post is about all of that stuff. i guess any word can be made better if you throw the word "lesbian" in front of it. am i right or am i right?
first up, im being thoroughly entertained by a couple of podcasters that go by the names "Slo" & "Green." they're two lesbians who live on opposite sides of the U.S.. i dont think i ever really listened to a full podcast before theirs actually. like i said, i dont like the word...and the idea used to sort of scare me. random people talking about random shit. hmmm...i do that every day...why do i need to listen to it? well i'll tell you why...cause they have hot voices...they talk about hot things...have good chemistry, um...lets see...oh yeah, theyre GAY...and they like to use the words "pussy" and "fuck" a lot. (which, by the way, are words i do like.)
based on that, im sure 50% of you reading have already started looking for the link.
go to their blog here. read about fun stuff. then click on "shows" to access their plethera of um...well...shows. ive listened to a few already and i laughed, i cried, i said "ew" out loud a couple times. it was good times.
speaking of "plethera,"..."Three Amigos" was a fuckin' awesome movie. and now Jefe is on "Ugly Betty" as the dad. you see that?? crazy. i used to own the movie on VHS. if anyone would like to send me the dvd, im taking old random dvd donations. *call me...we'll do lunch*
Slo & Green are friends/fans of the (seemingly) uber popular L Word podcasters KC & Elka. check them out here.
and to round out the gay experience we're all having here, i stumbled upon a lovely lady named Allison. Allison has it all going for her. she's British....she's a lesbian........
wait. yep thats all it takes.
oh! and she blogs about being British and being a lesbian. click on her name above and bob's your uncle.
for those of you (and when i say "you," i mean, "me") who dont like all the words and book learnin', here's YOUR daily lesbian moment:
for anyone who hasnt been able to see the Season 4 promo vid on the showtime site, etc. this is being featured on the front page of Youtube.com right now on CBS' page. CBS owns Showtime...so yeah.
i'm still mad that this new character's name is "Papi." and im wondering why they didnt utilize the wonderful eye candy that is Kristanna Loken in this promo. but whatevs.
(song is "Something Like a Phenomena" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
, and Busy Phillips 
who ive had a crush on since "Freaks and Geeks." no one can crash into a house on Thanksgiving like Audrey from "Dawson's Creek." she's hot, wearing a purple string around her wrist or not:-)
