Graffiti in Jena

Graffiti in Jena

Originally uploaded by elmada.

I posted this photo to Flickr yesterday and already three people have named it a favorite image.

The graffiti is located between where I get off the train and my office, so I pass it at least once a day — usually twice. The pixelation of […]

Queer Learning

I was looking through profiles of people living in Budapest on one of the gay chat services, when I stumbled across this line:

For locals, we offer English lessons at very reasonable rates. We are both professional English teachers. We can teach you the words you need for man to man action that you would […]

Crashed

I lay down on my bed to try and finish a book tonight. Instead I fell asleep, waking at 1am. I’ll probably go back to bed shortly.

It turns out if you click on the “www.visitgaybloomington.com” icon on the page, you know, the one I assumed redirected me right back to the page I […]

Why NYC is Great

Reading about Improv Everywhere’s latest gig, Romantic Comedy Cab, gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. I hope you enjoy it too.

Gay Bloomington, Revisited

Yesterday’s Gay Bloomington posting might have accidentally given the wrong impression about Bloomington, Indiana.

The problem with the article in outTraveler isn’t that its information is wrong, but rather the information it provides is more geared to the question, “Would a gay/ bisexual/ queer/ lesbian/ transgendered person want to live in Bloomington?” This is a […]

Gay Bloomington

This morning I received a package from the States with mail!

I disposed of the credit card offers right away, which left me with a few pieces of interesting mail, plus my copies of RollingStone and the Advocate. Packaged with one of the Advocates was an issue of the outTraveler, which is a magazine targeted […]
