Jason's Room

Good Taste

Earlier this morning, USA Today posted an article about the upcoming Iron Man movie slated for Summer 2008, which includes the above pic from the film and an interview with star Robert Downey Jr.

Personally, although I think the guy is a great actor, I've never been a big fan,... until I read, in the last lines of the article,...

"Downey knows a thing or two about comics, and he can get downright geeky when discussing them. He prefers Marvel to D.C. comics..."

Oh, really?---He prefers Marvel, huh?  Hmmm...

I think I love him.  ;-)

Sanjaya on Letterman

On Ellen in Los Angeles in the morning,... and then, later that evening, on the other side of the continent, on Letterman in New York.

*Sigh*  Rough life.  :-)

Sanjaya on Ellen

This kid just continues to impress me.---To hear the hurtful things that people said (and continue to say) about him,... at just 17 years old,... and to say:

"I just try to learn from every thing that I can... I mean, there are some really creative haters out there, and they've got some really good stuff..."

Time will tell, of course,... but for the time being, he certainly has my respect.

Three Favorites Converge

Yesterday...
Neil Patrick Harris... talking about Sanjaya... on Ellen.
Three of my favorite things all on one television screen.
(So overwhelmingly perfect that I had to take a picture.)

It felt like a birthday present from the universe.  :-)

Well, that explains it...

Today is the birthday for....

James Franco

Kate Hudson

Hayden Christensen

and...

Matthew Kelleher

*I started reading Matty's blog back in *gulp* 2003, and he continues to be one of coolest, hottest, and most heartfelt sources of inspiration in my life even today.  (Happy Birthday, brother!)

So, you see,... April 19th had to give out so much of its "cool" to other people... that it didn't have any to spare for me.

*sigh*

Oh well...

At least, I still get 25% off at Sizzler today, right?  *heh*

Sincerely grateful for what I've got,
your jason

Cleaning & Crying

The hardest part for me to deal with, while my boyfriend is out of town on business, is being at home alone.

Go ahead.  Call me "co-dependent."  Call me a "wuss,"... but you see,... "home" is where we spend most of our time together, and... it's so quiet here without him.---Even sitting on the sofa knowing that he's not going to be walking through the door feels... unusual, uncomfortable, and...

It makes my heart hurt.

So, the moment he left for this trip, I decided that I would NOT be spending any time at home. 

For the past two days, I have flown through our house, only stopping briefly to gobble food from the fridge, shower, iron, and dress faster than a quick-change artist... allowing me to get out the door as soon as possible.---I've stayed at work until 10pm, waiting until I was so exhausted that I'd have to collapse immediately upon returning home (and thus, not be conscious of the empty space in the bed beside me).

However, after two days of... leaving dishes in the sink, throwing mail wherever it landed, dropping dirty clothes on floors in multiple rooms throughout our place,... and even leaving our ironing board standing in the center of our living room littered with Diet Coke cans and hangers,... well,... let's just say that it had taken its toll, and I knew I needed to at least spend some time tonight picking up after myself a little.

However, I had no idea what was waiting to be discovered.

Apparently, before my boyfriend left, he hid cards/notes for me around our place, and... I won't share all of them with you, but here's the first one (and my favorite) that I found... 

Oy.

Even after eight and a half years,... he can still knows how to make me bawl.

Walking Sex

If you didn't see Jonathan Rhys Meyer on Ellen this past Monday, you absolutely need to watch the clip below.---The boy is literally "sex on legs."

When he does the "Elvis snarl,"...

I'm sorry, but...

It makes my panties wet.

--------------------------------------

Though it's just too bad...

...that he had to cut his hair.  ;-)

(I think he even made Ellen reconsider being a lesbian. *heheh*)

Sleeping Single & Selfishness

My boyfriend had to leave town for work this morning, and he won't be home till Saturday.

And I know I'm being selfish,...

But I still wish he hadn't had to go.

See, I've been spoiled rotten recently.---OH, I'd already been significantly spoiled, getting to live my life under the same roof as him, but... in the last couple weeks, it seems like we've had even more "quality time" together than we've had together in months.

And I understand that this business trip wasn't an option...

And I know that he didn't get to pick the days...

But I still wish he didn't have to be gone,...

...especially later this week... on my birthday.

Lil' Bit Better

Feeling a little bit better today.  (Hopefully, I'll be totally well by tonight, in time for Guerrilla Gay Bar.)  Above is a pic that five year old Logan took of me this past Easter Sunday.  Not bad for a little kid, huh?  :-)

A Biological WMD

This little boy may have looked innocent, but he secretly harbored a dangerous weapon---And it wasn't his lightsaber.

On Easter, when nephew Logan wanted to sit on my lap, I let him.  When he wanted to hold my hand, I let him.  When he gave me a big hug goodbye, I hugged him back,... never thinking that these short moments of contact were enough to transmit a biological weapon that's kept me on the couch for  the past two days.

*sniff/cough/sniff/sniff/cough/sniff*

Dang,... little kids are dangerous!  :-)

(Of course, I'm  complaining about my cold, but... seriously,... spending Easter with those kids was SO totally worth it!)
