Brawl at a gay bar

So, on Sunday, the boys and I went to JR's to do our normal cheap vodka thing.  All of a sudden, an old-fashioned bar brawl broke out.  OK, maybe not so old-fashioned - it involved 2 gay guys, quickly followed by each gay man's respective posse of lesbians.  It was actually pretty exciting - there was broken glass everywhere after it was over.  HOT!

I think the phrase "posse of lesbians" has a nice ring to it.

Tristan Und Isolde
see related
I just read that one of my favorite opera singers, Birgit Nilsson, died this week.  This woman could, without forcing, easily make herself heard over a 120-piece orchestra playing as loud as they could, all while producing a beautiful sound.  Her Isolde in "Tristan und Isolde" is specatcular.



Speaking of which, is anyone else grossed out by the previews for the Tristan & Isolde movie?  I really love watching classic, beautful, ancient Celtic love sotries set to cheesy pop ballads.

I made a badass pork tenderloin for dinner last night and had my friend Andrew over.  It was fun - we finished off a whole pork tenderloin, almost 2 bottles of wine, and half of a pumpkin pie.  Then I went to JR's with Jeff and had a martini and 2 beers.  It was a good evening.

Work sucks today, but that's normal.  I'm planning a trip to LA for grad school auditions and found that renting a Mustang Convertble only costs $30 more than an Economy car.  So, in February, I'll be driving around LA in a Mustang Convertible.  If that car doesn't get me laid, I will be very disappointed.

Holy Shit.  There's a new show on Oxygen called Campus Ladies about 2 40-year-old women going to undergrad.  Watch this outtake and try not to crack up.

Who knew Oxygen could produce something so funny?
