[waldrobe malfunction] Aaron needs his vajayjay waaaarshed:
Aaron:: I've had Madonna's album since last week. My favorite tunes are "Miles Away" and "Give it to Me". And not necessarily in that order.
Me:: i love them all. i can already foresee that this album is gonna spawn a MILLION remixes.
Aaron:: I have about 10 remixes of 4 minutes.
Me:: two came with the album -- peter and junkie XL. also, the paul oakenfold edit of Give It 2 Me on the album is F-I-E-R-C-E!!!
Aaron:: I don't have the oakenfold one. Wanna send it to me. :)
Me:: sent. you are going to CREAM your manties.
Aaron:: I just changed...
Me:: if you find the peter saves london and peter saves paris remixes for 4 minutes, i will do your dry cleaning forever.
Aaron:: I have the Paris one at home. What do I get for that one?
Me:: my undying love and attention. but you'll still have to do your own dry cleaning.
Yes, ladies. It's *THAT* good. If you only buy two singles, get "Miles Away" and the Oakenfeld edit of "Give It 2 Me"! Maintenant, Ahora, NOW!!! @ 14:11
[hard candy is...] ...WOW!
Sticky, sweet, and raw... yea, bay-bee!
Whatever Madonna's selling in her Candy Shop, I'm buying!
From Entertainment Weekly: "...the lyrics offer candy as a metaphor for sex, sex as metaphor for dancing, and dancing as metaphor for world domination."
There is no doubt in my mind that she has already dominated my world of music, from when I was 7 -- bobbing to Material Girl on the radio in my dad's car -- to Hard Candy. Madonna, to me, boils down to one word -- Aspire.
I can totarry see myself listening to this album all day today, and all summer. So. Fucking. FIERCE! @ 10:56

[etch-a-sketch] The NYT has the best articles. Love them.
Check this one out: Is Obama a Mac and Clinton a PC?
Question: So what does that make McCain?
Answer: An Etch-a-Sketch
p.s. God is playing a cruel trick on me. Gorgeous spring (almost summer-like) weather today in the 80s and I can barely walk outside without tearing up or sneezing so hard my spleen falls out. Stupid tree cum. So not fetch. @ 14:51
April 25, 2008
[i live there] OMB, they should just haul me to juvie coz I've been going out everyday for the past SEVEN days!! K-w-a-z-y.
I mean, I was like totarry giving bartender Matt the evil last night for carding this guy at the bar but not carding me (yes, I am having "I feel senior" moments this close to my bithday and I need some feelgood), and he says to me:
"Why should I? You live here"
:-o
The nerve!
And now the weekend is here! Aaahhhhh! (That's the sound of my liver screaming)
Speaking of screaming... I almost had a coronary last night when the LCD on my mobile started acting up. I have a backup phone but I was in total panic mode; just as Chris and I were gonna start our weekend off with a bang (yes, in the gay world, the weekend starts on Thursday night). Tony took charge, ripped the phone apart and I have no idea what he did but he saved it from the brink and brought it back to life. My world is now spinning the right way round again.
Tony to the rescue! And *that's* why, trannies, I've kept him around for 4,005 days now :-D
I am surprisingly chipper this morning considering what went down last night (seriously, we did not plan on closing down JR's, no sirree... hmm, I guess I *do* live there LOL!). Must be the fab weather. The pollen is still not my friend but I'm learning to deal with it. Nasal spray and eye drops are my friends ;-) @ 12:00
p.s. I am about to pull all my hair out dealing with this project at work, so don't be surprised if I show up bald to my birthday party :-D
pp.s. What "birthday party" you say? Well, if you don't know about it, you weren't invited and if you weren't invited, you're stank. Deal.
April 24, 2008
[ballsonyourchinokov] It's 78° right now, on the way to a sublime 80° (27°C!) high today. It could not be more glorious outside.
To take advantage of such an amazing day, my co-workers and I ventured out to Lafayette Park for some sandwiches across from the White House just now. It was absolutely perfect. It being tourist (hell) season and all, there were a bunch of foreigners speaking weird languages all around us...
Me:: That could be either Russian or Ukrainian
Dave:: Didn't you use to date a Ukrainian?
Me:: [incredulous look] What?! Me? No...
Dave:: Wasn't his name Ballsonyourchinokov?
*giggle* My co-workers are evil. @ 15:37
April 22, 2008
[4,000] While crashing through my busy weekend schedule, I had forgotten a quiet little milestone that Tony and I passed on Sunday -- 4,000 days together.
For the less mathematically-inclined of you lot (aka all of you), that's almost 11 years -- actually, 18 days shy of. Yup, you can pick your jaw up from the ground now.
In just over two weeks, Tony and I will be celebrating 11 years together in London (and to see my bestie, Su Ann). Yup, back to where we first met. At Heathrow Airport in the arrivals area of Terminal 4. That seems like so friggin' long ago.
Almost 4,000 days ago, in fact :-)
And that night, May 8th, 1997, we had our first dinner/date at Belgo Centraal in Covent Garden (um, after LOTS of hanky panky that is :-p). Mussels, yum. What, I was a poor 19yo student back then and Belgo was still a hip place to be. Not so much today.
So where will I be 4,000 days from now? I may not know where but I do know that I will be almost 42 years old!!! So not fierce. Anyho, physical location is (and will always be) uncertain, but I know where my heart will be. And home is where the heart is...
I love you, Tony! Will you be my baby for 4,000 more days (at least)? @ 17:15
[it's like rayeeain] Holy Mother of Everything Wet.
At some point over the past 48 hours, did you think that it was ever going to stop raining? What a wet tranny mess. My hair was not lovin' it.
Last night, I accidentally left my wet umbrella from the morning in my office to dry out, AND had to walk home in the rain without it! Not fetch! Wait, did I say "almost" walk home in the rain? Tony came to my rescue, of course. Der. Officially since Sunday, DCA recorded almost 2.1" of rain and Dulles piled up almost 4"! That's, like, a lot of rain. Kwazy.
I was thinking that if it had continued to rain today, I was gonna start building an ark and would've had to round up 6 of everything. That's a chore, especially on a Tuesday.
Why 6? Well, we need the straight pair to procreate. We would then need a gay pair and a lesbian pair for diversity and to balance the genders. There... Six. What's that? I didn't cover the bi's and the trannies? Well, I figured the gay/lesbian pairs could bi-it-up and play musical chairs amongst themselves. That covers the B in GLBT. As for the trannies, well, I'll have to accommodate the FTMs, MTFs, the pre-'s and post-'s, the WTFs (err...), and then each of those categories has their own preferences like FTMs who like males... or females... or both. And vice-versa. It's just too much of a hot tranny mess, and multiply that by all the species on the planet and I just ain't got enough room on my ark, mmm-kay? We'll just stick to the straights, the gays and the lessies.
If you think about it, there will only be 6 humans onboard this ark but thousands, if not millions, of animals that range from mammals to reptiles to fish and to insects, etc. Case in point, I would need 6 polar bears AND 6 panda bears for continuity coz no two bears are alike. I mean, they are far different than, say, a Caucasian man (polar) and an Asian man (panda). So, really... there is far more that unites us humans than divides us. Which makes it strange that we kill each other for fun (well, at least Bush does) whereas animals only kill for food. I guess we're not so "intelligent" after all, eh?
What am I rambling about??
No, I'm not bored. I have a shit ton (how heavy's that? go figure!) of work to do but I'm procrastinating. Der.
Tonight -- the PA primaries -- is make or break (again) for Hillary. Will we have a Democratic nominee by tomorrow?
Umm, almost as unlikely as it raining again today! *fingers-and-all-11-toes-crossed*
p.s. I love the rain. Sometimes. It makes me think of London (16 more days!). And Madonna's "Rain". One of my favs. Wuvs that song long time. @ 16:26
April 21, 2008
[beijing '08 in kl] For only the second time in history -- the first was 44 years ago for Tokyo 1964 when the Olympics were first hosted in Asia -- the Olympic flame passed through a rain-soaked Malaysian soil today, making a 10-mile long journey criss-crossing the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. KL is one of only 21 cities outside China given the privilege and honor of hosting a leg of the Olympic torch relay.
The flame arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 2:25am Sunday morning (Saturday afternoon ET) from Thailand, and "stayed" for two nights at the swanky Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the shadow of the Petronas Twin Towers (formerly the world's tallest buildings) in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) district.
The KL leg of the 2008 Olympic Torch Relay kicked off from Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square) at 2:15pm (GMT+8) with the first torchbearer -- Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Ja'afar, President of the Olympic Council of Malaysia. The torch was then run by the City Hall Building, Parliament House, National Museum, National Mosque, Old Central Railway Station, and Merdeka Stadium. In an unusual twist, the torch was also taken to the top of KL Tower with a birds-eye view of Kuala Lumpur, before ending at the iconic Petronas Twin Towers just under 4 hours later when Malaysia's ninth king and sultan of Perak -- Sultan Azlan Shah -- lit the cauldron, marking the end of the relay in KL which featured 80 torchbearers.
The torch will leave for Jakarta in an hour's time for the 14th leg of the global torch relay, followed by Canberra, Nagano, Seoul, Pyongyang and Saigon before spending three months in China beginning May 2nd.
Only 109 days left before the Opening Ceremony in Beijing! The excitement builds... @ 09:49
April 18, 2008
[84°] It's 84° outside right now -- a full 20° above our average high and just 10° off the all-time high for today.
Best yet, by the end of this month, the sun will set at 8pm!
I ♥ global warming AND spwingtime!
It was even more glorious last night when a bunch of us congregayted at the Melrose for 4H (Homo Hotel Happy Hour, der). The weather was absolutely stunning and drinking outside (street level!) is always fetch. It was so crowded that we had to get drinks from the bar, walk through the lobby, out the main door, and out on the street before getting to the outdoor patio/bar area. Yup, we broke DC law for, oh, about 20 feet, shhhhh.
And then we went to Jack's and drank some more. I should def file last night under "F" for "fit-shaced and ferosh"! Getting wasted on a Thursday night is so juvenile, and something I haven't done in months (since last summer actually).
All's I can say is I'm still payin' for my hangover right now, lol! Juvenile, indeed. @ 15:14
April 16, 2008
[papal shame] Guess what?? I just saw Pope Benedict XVI! Yea, he just glided by in his Popemobile along Pennsylvania Ave after leaving the White House. And guess what also? It's his 81st birthday today *giggle*.
A Pope-purri of pictures from my office building's 4th floor balcony which has an outdoor, panoramic view up and down Pennsylvania Ave:
It was a gorgeous day to boot!
Leader of 65mn Catholics in America, more than half of all Christians worldwide and a full 1/6th of humanity, this is his first visit to the US since becoming Pope three years ago. I'm not big on the Pope but since they don't come around very often -- this is the first papal visit in almost THREE decades -- AND he was gonna be visible from our offices, I thought to myself, "why the hell not, right?". Could be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Honestly though, I could not care less about the Pope or the church he leads. I thought long and hard about mentioning the Pope at all on here. After all, he is not just the head of the anti-choice Roman Catholic Church, the Pope himself has called homosexuality an "intrinsic moral evil" and an "objective disorder".
Check this out (straight from the Vatican):
"Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil; and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder."
"The church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions."
"Allowing children to be adopted by persons living in such unions would actually mean doing violence to these children, in the sense that their condition of dependence would be used to place them in an environment inappropriate for their full human development."
What was that again? Right, Mr. Leader of the Church of Child Abuse.
I actually don't really care whether the Pope accepts me for who I am or not. Really, it's not like he's judging my shoes or anything. Now, *THAT* would've sent me over the edge.
But seriously folks, this is the same Pope that rails against abortion and birth control. WTF? That makes no sense whatsoever. The promotion of the latter almost guarantees the reduction of the former. Yet, the Pope and the Catholic Church seems to thing that people only fuck for procreation. Pfffttt.
But what truly, Truly makes me sad is the birth control bit; condoms, in particular. In this day and age when condoms are the most effective method to prevent the spread of the incurable HIV/AIDS epidemic, this man at the head of the Catholic Church not only dismisses it as irrelevant, he maintains the Vatican's complete and absolute ban on the use of condoms. That pisses me off the most. And I place the lives of millions of AIDS deaths around the world indirectly on him. What happened to the values of a good compassionate Christian? Nothing sounds less like compassion to me than that.
Condoms saves lives. Period. The Pope is flat-out wrong. And his ridiculous, back-ass-wards stance on this issue is a form of indirect genocide.
If anything (like the reason why I even bothered to mention him at all on here), I really just want to say to him: How DARE you claim to be pro-life at conception but then stand idly by watching millions being struck down by this terrible pandemic?
Values, my ass. @ 17:47
April 15, 2008
[foul spring] Yea, yea, I'm in a foul, bitter mood today; and most likely for the rest of the week. It's work-related and thank God the work engagement (aka culprit) is only temporary, but the end cannot possibly come soon enough.
Which is why I'm unloading on the only person I know who deserves all my vile right now :-D
It's a shame too, because the weather forecast for the remainder of the week could not be anymore perfect: Sunny, Sunny, Sunny and 68°, 73° and 83° by Friday!! @ 22:17
[i want...] ...this bumper sticker:
W is for Waterboarder
I want to laugh. But the destruction of this beautiful country by an intolerant, divisive, jingoistic, arrogant, mediocre, dishonest, embarassing, rancid right-wing Administration is so not funny. @ 22:12
[stupid americans] Bush isn't the only one to blame for America's troubles...
"While most of the responsibility for the present sorry state of affairs surely goes to Bush and Co., those Americans who voted to reelect them must also take their share of the blame. The presidential election of 2004 should go down in the history books as one in which enough fear-rattled voters ignored the obvious basic incompetence of these guys and instead kept them in power, allowing their attacks on the constitution to continue. The resulting erosion of civil liberties at the hands of a power-swollen Executive Branch (with the aid of a spineless Congress) is a self-inflicted wound that will take generations to heal."
Amen. I could not have said it better myself.
"Rather than villify the president (he seems to have an inate knack for doing this to himself), I think more attention needs to be paid to the people responsible for giving him the opportunity, i.e. - US citizens. His re-election campaign enjoyed a larger margin of victory than the first one. The importance of this fact cannot be overlooked. I think it is comparable to hiring a pilot, watching the pilot crash the plane, and then re-hiring the pilot for the return leg of the flight. Remember, he didnt just show up and take the job nobody wanted; we let him win."
ROTFL! OK, I had to find some humor in the extremely depressing thought that we have another 280 days of Bush to go... @ 22:03
[bad or worst?] Apparently, an informal survey of 109 historians, 98.2% considered President GWB's presidency to be a failure.
Let's see...
The unjust war in Iraq
The inept post-war occupation
4,000 American soldiers killed, and counting
Torture
Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo
Extraordinary rendition
Hurricane Katrina
Gutting the US Constitution
Illegal, warrantless wiretapping
Destruction of environmental laws
Politicization of the DOJ
Huge tax cuts for the wealthy
Exploding budget deficits
$10 trillion in national debt
The plunging dollar
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. So, really... WTF are the 1.8% that think it was a success??
There really is only one question left to ask about his Presidency -- so eloquently asked in a bumper sticker -- that is even remotely relevant or worth answering:
Bush: Bad President or Worst President?

[poop matters] Tony's words of Confucius-like wisdom about why he doesn't really care for big dogs (like Great Danes):
I don't want to pick up poop that's bigger than mine.
Damn right. @ 22:00
[april pics...] ...bring May tricks? ;-)
Pics from the past two weeks:
[L] Aww, happy birthday ma-wee! @ Kinkead's
[R] The birthday tranny was hungry that day... and looked it too
[L] How many times do we have to celebrate twanny's birthday in one day??
[R] With Carlos and Marjorie at Logan Tavern for Rick's b'day (again!)
[L] Mah-jo-wee...
[R] ...and Ma-wee!
[L] Wick and Cah-wos
[R] Denisse, Serra, me and Rick @ Veritas for GQB's 4th anniv. I was *SO* drunk that night I walked off the runway...
Yea, yea, I'm slacking these days in picture-taking. Case in point -- I took zero pictures this past weekend @ Jack's/Wii on Friday, dinner party on Saturday and Jack's/JR's on Sunday (I'm a bitch about town, mmm-hmm).
Not a single pic the entire weekend. I'm losing my Asianness. @ 21:51
[closed] "The Roof of the World is Closed" was splashed across the NYT last week. I had high hopes that China would reopen Tibet to foreign tourists bringing in much-needed foreign currency -- one of the lifebloods of Tibet -- some time soon, but all that was dashed by this CNN report.
I guess I was a lil' naive to think that China would lift its ban on foreign tourists to Tibet before the Olympics. I was quite excited when I read last week that the Tibetan Tourism Bureau was gonna start issuing permits again for foriegners to visit the Himalayan region beginning May 1st. My excitement was very short-lived as that decision was quickly reversed.
I'm a little bummed as we were thinking of going to Lhasa just before the Olympics in August. I wanna go, waaa! Then again, they *do* hate ethnic Chinese people there so perhaps I should just let things simmer down for now.
Sigh. I'm such a travel whore and I want to go to Tibet! @ 15:46
[w is for wretched] Dan Froomkin in WaPo today:
"It's true that it has been widely assumed and occasionally reported that the CIA's use of brutal interrogation techniques could be traced back to the White House on a general level. But it was most definitely new last week when ABC News reported that a group of Bush's top aides, including Vice President Cheney, took part in meetings where they explicitly discussed and approved -- literally blow by blow -- tactics such as waterboarding. And while Bush has previously defended these tactics -- vaguely, and insisting against all evidence that they did not amount to torture -- he had not, until now, acknowledged that he personally OK'd them beforehand."
"If you consider what the government did to be torture, which is a crime according to U.S. and international law, Bush's statement shifts his role from being an accessory after the fact to being part of a conspiracy to commit."
Anthony Lewis in the New York Review of Books:
"In these last weeks of turbulent events, the single most significant has not been the financial crisis, not the fall of a governor, not the passing of the fifth year of the war without end in Iraq. It has been an American president's formal blessing of the use of torture."
"That was what President Bush did in early March when he vetoed legislation prohibiting the use of brutal methods of interrogation by American intelligence agents. His action was quickly overtaken by other news. But in its redefinition of American values -- of the American character -- it had profound implications."
"I grew up believing that Americans did not torture prisoners, as Hitler's and Stalin's agents did. There were rogue episodes of American brutality, but to make torture a national policy? Unthinkable."
"No one should be in any doubt that torture was what President Bush had in mind. No one should be fooled by Orwellian talk of 'enhanced interrogation techniques.' . . ."
"George W. Bush can seek his God's mercy for trying to legitimize torture by Americans. But here on earth he cannot escape judgment. For me he will always be the Torture President."
From the ACLU:
"The American Civil Liberties Union is calling on Congress to demand an independent prosecutor to investigate possible violations by the Bush administration of laws including the War Crimes Act, the federal Anti-Torture Act, and federal assault laws."
"'No one in the executive branch of government can be trusted to fairly investigate or prosecute any crimes since the head of every relevant department, along with the president and vice president, either knew or participated in the planning and approval of illegal acts,' said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. 'Congress cannot look the other way; it must demand an independent investigation and independent prosecutor.'"
"Fredrickson added, 'Congress is duty-bound by the Constitution not only to hold the president, vice president, and all civil officers to account, but it must also send a message to future presidents that it will use its constitutional powers to prevent illegal, and immoral conduct.'"
"W" is for Wretched. @ 15:33
[panda rocker] Look at what Tony wants to get me for my birthday next month: (yes, beeyotches... it's comin' up soon :-p)
I know... How rude, right?
The only thing that stopped him was the "maximum weight 100lbs" label on it.
p.s. OK, the rocker is totally spong -- alluring yet disturbingly so. @ 15:24

[pussy galore] And in honor of Her Divine Betchy Asian-Divaness...
Me:: Hi, my name is Gwen... And you're next!
Rick:: Pussy ride metro to ping pong store

[L] Hot Tranny Messes (HTMs) -- At (skanky) dinner pre-Cho with Rick and Nicole!
[R] HTMs at Jack's post-Cho, totawy dwunk! Chotastic.
And the morning after...
Me:: OMB, what happened last night? Did you get your oil checked?
Rick:: Haha, but no. I did spill some oil though.
Me:: Gwen will come clean up your oil spill
OK, you had to be there for the long-and-thin-penis-for-oil-check joke. Hiwwawious.
Oh, and guess who opened for Mahgwet? Liam Sullivan aka Kelly! Oh, my Beyonce, she was *such* a Betch. And the crowd adored her. She performed her hits "Let Me Borrow That Top" and "Shoes". She rocked so hard I came all over myself and crapped my manties. Hot.
And that was even before the Asian diva herself showed up. And of course, Margawet was fierce, Fetch and FEROSH! She was so gay last night, she outgayed the gays... even if the Warner Theatre was so gay you walked in and there was glitter everywhere. It was like a Manhunt convention, where everybody knows your bod pic/cock size. @ 12:00
[you, tranny!] Rick almost didn't get to go to last night's Cho-travaganza.
Rick:: You've been replaced with my new, cuter, younger hotter asian.... [insert random skanky 3-letter gaysian's name here].
Thank you for your years of semi-loyal service.
Me:: I guess you're going to Margaret Cho with [random skanky gaysian] then
Rick:: Oh! No no, I love you longer time
Me:: Who's Your Empress
Rick:: You, Tranny!
Me:: Good. The next mere suggestion of another gaysian in your life and you'll be walking to Tarzhay... For eternity! *suh-nap*
Rick:: Yes massa Kiat-san
That's how I keep my bitches in line. @ 11:45
April 10, 2008
[beautiful] I am *FAR* too busy at work to describe how I'm feeling right now about tonight, but suffice to say I need cleanup on aisle 4 coz I just pee'd a little thinking about seeing Margaret Cho tonight at the Warner Theatre!!!
Oh, and please send Gwen. My vajayjay needs to be waaaaashed as well. Y'know... the pee. @ 14:30
April 9, 2008
[queeny] Tony is in St Louis today, speaking at a hospital, and look what he sent to me:
He's so juvenile *giggle*

[37] I was just chastised over e-mail by the Godmother of music herself -- Aaron -- about my inability to name all of Madonna's 37 Top 10 hits. In chronological order. And with their highest position on the charts (in parenthesis).

1998 Frozen (2)
1998 Ray of Light (5)
2000 Music (1)
2002 Dont Tell Me (4)
2002 Die Another Day (8)
2005 Hung Up (7)
2008 4 Minutes (3)
Bitch was incredulous. I don't blame her, LOL.
Gosh, isn't it shocking to see that Material Girl never made it to #1? Nor did La Isla Bonita, Express Yourself, Cherish, I'll Remember, Secret, You'll See, Don't Cry for Me Argentina, Frozen, Ray of Light, Don't Tell Me, Hung Up, etc.? Those are all now classics and as far as I'm concerned, Madonna's music beats Mariah's hands down. I have no idea why the latter diva-lite has more #1s than the Queen Diva herself.
And how is it possible that Confessions only produced ONE Top 10 hit??

HOT. BTW, Madonna has 12. @ 18:18
[elvis has left...] ...the charts, and who better to eject him off his perch than the divas of pop -- Mariah and Madonna.
Mariah's "Touch My Body" -- the lead single from her new album "E=MC2" -- leapt 14 spots to become her 18th (!) #1 single, passing Elvis Presley for the number two position on the all-time #1s list. It has taken Mariah 18 years to get to this point. The Beatles are still in the top spot with 20 #1 singles, and Mariah is on pace to take down the Fab Four. As a solo artist with the most #1s however, she reigns supreme.
"Touch My Body", btw, recorded 286,000 downloads in its debut. That tops Rihanna's previous record of 277,000 first-week downloads for the infectious, summer of 2007 smash hit "Umbrella". Elvis still has the most total weeks at #1 (80 weeks), but Mariah is closing in at 78 weeks.
Meanwhile, the Queen of Pop (Madonna) usurped the King (Elvis) as the sole owner of the record of the most career Top 10 singles with the release of "Four Minutes" -- the lead single from her new album "Hard Candy" -- which became her 37th (!!) Top 10 single; jumping 65 spots to #3 this week. "Four Minutes" recorded 217,000 digital downloads.
Both records, btw, have stood for almost 40 years (which is how old Rick is today, LOL! j/k... Happy Birthday, Ma-wee!). And it thrills me to no end that two divas ended his reign at the top of the all-time charts.

[the 90s] I can't believe I'm saying this but I cannot *wait* for my walk home in about an hour's time. It's 75° outside! So fetch.
Work's slower these days, thank God. I cannot possibly handle anymore 60-hour workweeks. Things will pick back up again in two weeks' time so this is like the calm before the storm; or more like the eye of the hurricane!
Anyho, I just realized something today... The club kids that go to Town these days -- well, at least on Fridays anyway, and legally at that -- are, well, born in the 90s. Yup, you read that right -- the NINETIES.
*clutches pearls and gasps in horreur*
Can you eff-ing believe that? If you were born in April 1990, you can now start going to Town and party with the wrinkly old queens such as myself and my friends. Sickening, isn't it? I mean, for fuck's sake, these mo's were born AFTER Vogue was released!!
I mean really, do they even know who Madonna is? You know... Madonna? Madge?? Of course they don't. I mean, she turns FIFTY this year (in August). To them, she's just as ancient and fossilized as I am. And do they even care that she has a new single with JT and Timbaland and it's called 4 Minutes? Speaking of which, have y'all seen the stills from that music video? (Thanks, L'Alex!) Goddamn, we should all wish we looked that fierce when we turn 50.
I remember the 90s really well. It was the most important decade for me, as far as growing up was concerned -- high school, college, coming to America... And these lil' 90s party mo's won't even remember much of it.
