All I want for Christmas...

Christmas the way it should be

Sad, beautiful, and sung by Judy Garland
I think I'm going to go home, make some wassail, curl up in a good blanket this fantastic movie. I suggest you do the same.

And I know this has nothing to do with Christmas... But it's the Trolley Song...
I think there is enough love in your heart for the baby Jesus and this song.

Happy Birthday!

I just wanted to wish Brian Bahr's boyfriend, Jake, a happy and joyous birthday.

My! My! How can I resist ya?

I'm so excited for this movie.
I know it's fluff... but don't we all need a little
fluffing now and then? Am I right gentlemen?

Cooties

I wish someone had told me.

I'm speechless

So funny. They should have sent a comedian... so funny. I had no idea.

I really just can't believe this.

My friend Jason sent me this quote and news article today.
I laughed at the quote at first thinking how dorky our love for White House Press Secretary CJ Creig is. But then I opened the article.


This article made me a little ill actually. But I guess these are the types of people our government feels comfortable dealing with. It's amazing what human rights violations we're willing to overlook just as long as there is oil in your country.

Anyway here is the quote and it is probably my favorite CJ Creig quote ever. To put it into context CJ has just leared from the news wires that 17 Saudi school girls were forced to stay in a burning building and die because they weren't wearing the proper clothing to be seen in public. This was her response to the question "Aren't you outraged"

"Outraged? I'm barely surprised. This is a country where women aren't allowed to drive a car. They're not allowed to be in the company of any
man other than a close relative, they're required to adhere to a dress code that would make the Maryknoll Nun look like Malibu Barbie. They beheaded 121 people last year for robbery, rape, and drug trafficking, they've no free press, no elected government, no political parties, and the royal family allows the religious police to travel in groups of six, carrying nightsticks and they freely and publicly beat women. But "Brutus is an honorable man." Seventeen schoolgirls were forced to burn alive because they weren't wearing the proper clothing. Am I outraged? No, Steve. No Chris. No, Mark. That is Saudi Arabia, our partners in peace."

If only there were someone in our current administraton who thought like this.

And just to lighten the mood... Another reason why I love this woman.

Like the best news ever!

I love Jim Halpert

Regrets

When I look back on the last few years I think one of my biggest regrets is not getting into so you think you can dance soon enough. I completely missed the first season. I was a Johnny come lately on the second season.

And if watching the entire 3rd season without missing an episode (thanks DVR) wasn't proof enough that this show is ridiculously awesome... I came across this picture of Dimitri from season 2.

Cute, Jewish, Canadian, Twin, Singers

The five greatest words in the English language combined.

Forgive me Jesus. I was so wrong to doubt your existence.

RyanDan isn't simply a play on the names of identical twins Ryan and Dan. It reflects an indivisible bond that runs so deeply that there is no discernible line where vocally one ends and the other begins. To hear them - and to connect to them - is to be taken on an emotional journey of rare intensity.

This just in!

George W. Bush just vetoed a bill that would provide health care to millions of poor children.

MILLIONS!

Sorry little Tim. I'd love to help you see a doctor... but we've got a war to fund.

Is it 2008 yet?

Before Kathy Griffin won a creative arts Emmy last weekend for her reality show, "My Life on the D-List," she joked that an award would move her to the C-list.

She was right: "C" as in censored. The TV academy said her raucous acceptance speech will be edited when the event, which was taped, is shown Saturday on the E! channel. The main prime-time Emmy Awards air the next night on Fox.

"Kathy Griffin's offensive remarks will not be part of the E! telecast on Saturday night," the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement Monday.

In her speech, Griffin said that "a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."

She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, "This award is my god now!"

The comedian's remarks were condemned Monday by Catholic League President Bill Donohue, who called them a "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech."

Well if there's anyone who would be an authority on hate speech....
Isn't it ironic... don't you think?

We The People... Remember Us?

So Funny!

Finally found a version of "You're gonna love me" that is better than Brians.

This only furthers the belief that I am adopted.

Found a great new blog today.

Queer #1: I kind of like Barack Obama. He's cute.
Queer #2: If I didn't have a husband, I would be so far up Barack Obama's ass that if anyone pulled me out they would become King of England.

I was laughing for at least 25 minutes.

Girl Crush and New Movie

LOVE HER! LOVE HER! LOVE HER!




And from the director of this little gem, one of my favorite movies ever, comes this...

Atonement

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

My dear friend, Ryan Shattuck, writer of the wildly acclaimed blog bullshattuck.com, has just had his first article published in the Advocate.

I ran across Ryan's blog on his myspace profile about 2 years ago and have been a huge fan ever since. Ryan is willing to say what the rest of us are only thinking. He puts it out there almost every week on his blog. Some people walk the walk, but dear readers, Ryan Shattuck talks the talk. He's funny, brilliant, witty, sarcastic, and the most tender lover I've ever known.

Ryan is not just a writer though. In his spare time he is a part time jazz choreographer, a classically trained baritone and a stone mason.

Ryan sweetie, I know I tease you.... a lot. But it's just cause I'm so damn jealous. Congratulations on this wonderful achievement. I've got a bottle of wine at my house with your name on it.

UGH!!!

I can't believe these are the kinds of questions being asked of our candidates.
This is what matters to people?
Seriously? This is what you're going to base your votes on?
Fuck you! Seth Ford, South Jordan, UT. Fuck You!

Dynasty or whatever happend to class?

Well I know what I'll be buying this week.

Crush of the Day! Boy With Piano Edition.

So I'm sure I'm totally behind the times on this discovery as well. But it's like my mother always used to say a we were shopping for school clothes at Deseret Industries, "It's new to you."







Jon McLaughlin. Pretty, plays piano, sings, pretty, talented, looks good on film... Did I mention that he's pretty?




I happened upon his video for Beautiful Disaster today. I was totally amazed at this video. It was very reminiscent of Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful'.
The girls in the video made me think about my 14 year old niece. She is getting ready to go back to school. She's a very pretty girl but isn't as skinny as th other girls in her class. I don't envy kids at that age. I wouldn't go back to Junior High for all the money in the world.

So You Think You Can Dance

Some Highlights from last nights show.


An amazing Broadway routine. Liza has never sounded better.



What the Judges said..."I don't get it"
What the judges should have said...
Dance is about connection. There are all kinds of connection, and while we aren’t quite mature enough as an American culture to allow you two to explore a romantic dance with each other, the way you established and told the entire story of parenting - ranging from the tired efforts of a mother to feed her child, the foxling’s curiosity and playfulness, and finally even the support and sorrow involved in setting one’s young off into the world to take their own steps - you both managed to convey all of that. Your beautiful dance, the comfortable way you combined talents to tell a story, got run over like a hot tamale in the express lane of the tunneled vision.

I thought this was one of the most brilliant numbers on the show. Ever!



Danny and Neil met up with Mia Michaels for a contemporary piece. I thought the concept was great, and the two of them performed it very well. But I was disappointed in the judges reaction. I they ate this shit up. I don't think this dance showed the abilities of either of these dancers. I was so excited during the lead up to this number and when it was over, much like the rest of my life, I felt very disappointed.
You get one Mia, you get one.



If God has a dance floor... this is what's playing on it. Sans the music. Avril Lavigne? Seriously?

I may have voted for Sabra last night... like 30 times...
But I would totally be happy to see captain ridiculous (Danny) walk away with the prize tonight.

Athletic Crush of the Day

Unreasonably hot model, Todd Sanfield, scores a home run in this getup.

The Daily Show

Still the best thing on Television.

Disillusioned Crush of the Day

Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe is set to release an album - and thinks he could be the new James Blunt.

The actor, 28, is certain the album will be a huge hit.

‘People are going to be shocked by my first album. It’s going to reveal my unseen mature side and I’ve even co-written some of the songs,’ he tells the Daily Sport.

‘I think I could be the next James Blunt.’

Wow Jesse... way to aim for the bottom.

Missing you is easy cause you're beautiful.

I miss Faith... Stupid Alaska.

Damien Rice... Take Two!

He's coming back! Sure it's not with Lisa but Faith will be sitting right next to me so I'm sure I'm bound to hear a little harmony.

Sunset Boulevard

Meryl Streep, Glenn Close and Barbra Streisand are fighting to play Sunset Boulevard diva Norma Desmond on the big screen, according to Hollywood reports. The ladies are reportedly on a shortlist being considered by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who composed the music for his version of the 1950 film classic.

London’s Daily Telegraph reports all three stars have been in discussions about taking on the role of Desmond, played famously by Gloria Swanson.

Close played the role onstage in Los Angeles and originated the role on Broadway, while Streisand has recorded versions of Sunset Boulevard ballads As If We Never Said Goodbye and With One Look.

Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman are reportedly favored for the role of screenwriter Joe Gillis in the musical remake.

Who do you think the role should go to?
