Lesbians After Dark

Lesbians After Dark

So, Sunday was great.  The air was cool, we get a ton of house stuff done and even snuck away for ice cream in the middle of the afternoon.  Game time rolls around and we make good on a mutual promise to attack the giant pile of laundry that seems to have mutated in our […]

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin

I waited all day for this, enduring a meal at TGI Fridays (blaa) and a movie at the Waterfront (why must there be so many non-movie related distractions in one giant place?).  Then we rushed home, jumped into our jammies and saw this.  It is hilarious:  

Books, Dinner on the Southside and Other Queer Stuff

Books, Dinner on the Southside and Other Queer Stuff

Leading off tonight, a thoughtful post from The Bilerico Project about the 12 most significant books for the lesbian and gay community (his term).  I've read one – the Bible.  And I have to stay that I am absolutely stunned that Middlesex did not make the cut.  It is a phenomenal novel.  I'm adding the […]

Update from Steel City Stonewall

Update from Steel City Stonewall

Some news from our friends at Steel City.  Two ways for you to get involved. A movie night at Cattivo and a Bonfire.  How fun is that!  I haven't done a bonfire in years and years.  Ironically, I was moaning to Lance about the events all being in smoking venues.  Lo and behold, an actual […]

Smoking in the Girls Room?

Smoking in the Girls Room?

September 11 marks the date when local business must comply with the anti-smoking ordinance.  I CAN'T WAIT!  Here's the link to the rules and regs. I went to the bathroom at my lunch stop today and passed people smoking where the food is prepared.  That is so beyond disgusting.  It was like 80 degrees — […]

Unpalatable: a lesbian quest for cupcakes

Unpalatable:  a lesbian quest for cupcakes

Update:  I edited out a sentence that was offensive to someone whom I did not mean to offend.  I am running out of bakeries to patronize. First, there was The Priory on the Northside.  I loved their baked goods, but disliked their tactics opposing the drink tax which cost our community an ally. Today, I did it […]

Shut Up and Vote Syndrome

Shut Up and Vote Syndrome

I watched her speech last night and was proud that she was my candidate for President.  She did a great job lifting up Barack as her candidate, calling for unity and reminding her supporters why they got into her campaign in the first place.  I thought her speechwriters masterfully celebrated her accomplishments while folding them into […]

Michelle Obama and the LGBT delegates and other convention stuff

Michelle Obama and the LGBT delegates and other convention stuff

Some interesting tidbits for your political viewing pleasure.  Michelle Obama addressed over 600 LGBT delegates at a luncheon cosponsored by Congressman Barney Frank and the Victory Fund.  Is this a sign of things to come?    Pam's House Blend has this live coverage of the speech.  Frank in his opening remarks, noted that no Democrat […]

LGBT Blog in NY Times and other stuff

LGBT Blog in NY Times and other stuff

A big favorite of the Correspondents has always been Pam's House Blend, the nation's most interesting LGBTQ blog.  Pam and her bloggers were prominent in a New York Times article about political blogging. WHEN Pam Spaulding heard from two contributors to her blog, Pam’s House Blend, that they couldn’t afford to attend the Democratic National Convention, […]
