Kenny vs. Spenny Season 1

How great a boyfriend is Jeff? He bought me the 1st Season DVD of Kenny vs. Spenny. Now I can revel in childish competition whenever I want.

Size Queen

I’ve got Christmas/Chanukah money burning a hole in my pocket and I’ve decided I want a new computer monitor. I’ve had my current 15″ LCD monitor for three years and it still works fine. But I have a 19″ LCD monitor in my office, so it’d be nice to have a comparable-sized one at home.

But it’s a slippery slope. As long as I’m getting a new monitor, it’d be nice to get a widescreen model, so I could watch movies on it. As long as I’d be getting a widescreen monitor, it’d be nice to get one with an integreted TV tuner, so I’ll be ready for HDTV. As long as I’d be getting a HDTV capable set, I should upgrade to HD cable. To say nothing of getting a new graphics card so I can connect with a DVI cable instead of a VGA one.

I’m pretty confused with what’s happening with HDTV. Wasn’t the entire broadcast industry supposed to be switched over by now? I hate to contemplate buying a new display without taking the (near?) future into consideration.

Butterfly pats

What’s with all the kissy-kissy amongst my gay peeps lately? I’ve been to 3 (mostly-gay) social gatherings this week and I’ve been “pecked” to pieces. Meanwhile, I’ve been giving back my awkward “butterfly pats.” I’ve never been good at giving or receiving hugs. At least I know one gay man who enjoys a firm handshake.
