Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

but the heat in between my Loins is so delightful.

What really is better than Winter in New York? I can name many things, but just walking around the empty streets of the city on Sunday was quite refreshing. The cold has finally hit but the action indoors never stops. After another dreary work day, Tuesday is shaping up to be one exciting night. My first foray of the night will be the Scissor Sister's Hurrah! A Year of Tah-Dah DVD release party, at Sunshine. Free drinks, food and a screening of the movie...count me in. After I'm sufficiently glammed out, I'm following the glittered path around the corner for the 9th Anniversary party of gay downtown dome of sleazy satisfaction, The Cock. The queen of the hens, Justin Bond, will be performing. Only in NYC, does a cold, Tuesday evening have so many fiery attractions.

Warriors break .500...

Post Holiday Monday...

I'm usually quite disinterested in life after a holiday weekend and dread coming to work, but the last four days seem to go by so slowly that I feel more rejuvenated than tired. Instead of a recap, lets just say my friends are awesome, food was delicious, the drinks still flow, men look best in fall/winter, and the upcoming holiday party season is going to be sweet! I'm thankful for a lot of things but it's truly my friends and family that I appreciate most.

Public note-to-self: Lay off the dairy cause my farts are stinky...
