THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW
- I sent nothing to my moms–biological or adoptive–for Mother’s Day. It’s one of my least favorite holidays, but then, it’s not a day for me, is it? I can be such a Leo…
- I don’t really like the Magnetic Fields, but I positively hate pseudo-lesbian pseudo-hipsters with no sense of humor but plenty of self-righteousness.
- I put on about ten pounds after Katrina, and I can’t get it off for the life of me. On the other hand, I’ve been doing a different routine at the gym and getting back on track with the yoga, so I’ve probably put on some muscle. But ten pounds of muscle? Probably not.
- I’m kinda obsessed with Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. I only wish that Cartoon Network’s new, Sims-esque tie-in game wasn’t so damn buggy.
- I’m looking forward to summer, mostly because I enjoy canoeing, and I didn’t get to go for my birthday last year because we’d planned to go on August 27, which was the day they started the contraflow and the day we skeedaddled to Lafayette. But although I’m eager to frolic once more in chilly Mississippi waters alongside scores of rednecks, in the back of my head, I’m secretly making emergency plans: what to pack up, where to leave everything else, how the hell to carry the cat (not gonna make that mistake again). In one fell swoop, I’ve gone from a stubborn always-ride-it-out kinda guy into an evacuation monkey.
- If I were to haul one of these up to my grandparents’ farm in Mississippi, I could live out the rest of my days in relative happiness–provided I could score some wi-fi. The boyfriend, however, would last about 5 minutes. Er, seconds.
