Pictures from the wedding - Wedding at City Hall

I had some worries about getting married at City Hall (CH). I'd never been to the CH in San Francisco, so I really wasn't sure what to expect. My worry was that we'd be getting married in someone's office, which would totally suck out the excitement.

Instead, when we arrived and signed the paperwork to get married, we were told that it could be done in the office (hahaha), in the chapel next door, or at the top of the stairwell (the photos can show you what we decided to do). We were there with a few other couples (straight and queer) getting married as well that morning.

The ceremony itself was pretty brief, but it was still beautiful. And even though we've been together for almost 7 years - and had been in a domestic partnership for over a year - we're still kind of giddy over the whole "wife" thing. And still getting used to it, although I still say "partner" on occasion.

Photos!

I don't seem to get it. The idea of having maids come to the apartment to clean the place up, that is.

I spent part of the weekend cleaning up ... and also spent part of the morning cleaning. Mainly, just picking up the big junk and taking recycling downstairs.

But still, I was cleaning when there are people here to do it. What is my damn problem anyways?

Last night, Kellie and I went to see the Jay McCarroll documentary, Eleven Minutes, about his post-Project Runway experiences and what he went through to get his first show at Bryant Park in September 2006. {This was part of a GLBT film festival - Frameline - in San Francisco}

It was a really good movie - and Jay himself was at the theater, doing a Q & A session with the directors. He was hilarious, and a bit catty at times, and he did share some dirt about PR and what he's got going on this year.

The Project Runway dirt:

Apparently, Wendy wasn't as bitchy as she was portrayed - and she was a flirt with pretty much all of the men. Jay made a comment that she was so good, he wanted to take flirting lessons from her!

He mentioned that he occasionally has people mistaking him for Chris March - which he finds amusing, and says that he loves Chris. Christian Siriano, on the other hand ... Jay did get kind of catty about him!

For this upcoming season, be on the lookout for him, Christian and Daniel V. as guest judges (for different challenges, of course).

His favorite judge? Nina Garcia - apparently she was good at encouraging the contestants, doing what she could to get them to do their best work.




What's up this year:

He's got a line coming up on QVC, July 21st. He'll be there, showing the line and doing whatever else people do on QVC!

Also coming this year - a line of fabrics. No specifics given, besides "this year".


And, as for Urban Outfitters*? Of his 30-piece collection, they only bought 5 items. And then, it fell through, so there were no items! :-(

* Jay was supposed to have a clothing line through Urban Outfitters a couple of years back - but it didn't happen, obviously.

So, "it's been one week..." (ha) since gay marriage became legal in California. The good news is - there haven't been any reports of straight couples griping about their marriages falling apart, or becoming invalid, because about a million or so gay couples can get married, just like them.

I don't know of any bad news - except that fundies are still seething and gnashing their teeth, waiting (im)patiently for November, so they can attempt to rescind our right to get married.

What, are they afraid that we're actually gonna do it right? That we're gonna upstage them with the ceremonies and receptions? That if we can get married - who will help plan their weddings? We're too busy planning our own! ;-)




The Wii Fit? Kellie got that almost 2 weeks ago, and it's awesome. Granted, I kind of skip over some of the yoga and strength training, in favor of my awkward attempts at step aerobics and boxing, as well as skipping over moguls left and right on the ski slalom game.

I don't trust the weight tracker for anything, since it shows insane weight fluctuations over 24 hour periods of time (gaining 3 lbs overnight? HAHAHA) - and I'm not really doing this to lose weight. Right now, I'm more interested in getting more coordinated and balanced, as well as improving my general fitness. Losing weight would just be a nice side effect.




And, as many other have mentioned, George Carlin has died. It's a sad day in my little world - he was one of the "forbidden" comics in my family, as I was growing up. Granted, I could watch "Benny Hill" and "Bizarre" and see topless women on late-night "regular" TV - but George Carlin's dropping F-bombs was not allowed. At all.

So, when I grew up and had access to his comedy routines - I really got into it. It seemed like his wit and observational humor (as well as Lenny Bruce's) were influential on comics like Dennis Miller (before he crossed over to the Dark SideTM) and Lewis Black.

As I'd read on a message board - the radio stations and TV networks should be allowed to play "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television", uncensored. I'd *love* to see people's reactions when they hear "shit, piss, cunt, fuck, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits". (Tater tits for all!)

Rest in peace, George. You'll be missed for years to come. {And in the Frisbetarian tradition, he will be on a rooftop somewhere, looking down upon us all - and laughing.}

Apparently with gay marriages coming up one day closer, celebrities are opening their mouths and proving themselves to be "Celebretards".

Take, for example, Usher. He's come up with the theory that lesbianism is caused by a lack of good men. It has nothing to do with, you know, actually liking other women and preferring them romantically/sexually. Apparently, we just need good men in our lives. Well, damn. Unfortunately, the good men I know of are either gay or married (or, now, both)! So, sorry Usher ... looks like I'll be sticking with the girls' team.


Another "celebrity" with this problem is MENSA candidate MySpace Whore What the *%$@! is her purpose again? - Tila Tequila. Apparently, we can get married because of her. Wow. And here I thought it was due to the California Supreme Court deciding that we should have the right to be as happy and miserable as straight folks. Instead, it's thanks to some reality show retard that being queer is acceptable, and therefore, we can get married because of this resulting acceptance.


I don't get it. I really don't. All I can do is sit back and laugh at the inanity of their statements, and wonder where the hell they got these insane ideas.

Now, for something a little on the lighter side. On Michael Ian Black's comedy CD, "I Am A Wonderful Man", he does a bit on Satanic Messages, and how as a teenager, they were such a big thing. At the start, he talks about how the performance is being recorded for an album, and says, "It's like fucking Altamont in here! {some applause and laughs} Only without the Hell's Angels! {less applause} Or the murder! {near silence} Okay, some of the murder... {laughs}"

Being a major music geek, I got a laugh out of the "Gimme Shelter" reference - and kind of died a little inside over the collegiate audience not getting it. And I kind of fell in love with Michael Ian Black over that reference alone.

Regardless, it's really fucking funny.

A Christian Fundie group - Love Gods Way - has a section of their website that lists "Gay Bands" and "Safe Bands".

So, who - or what - has been deemed to be a "Gay Band"? Well, there's some of the usual suspects (Elton John, k.d. lang, Indigo Girls) as well as some not-so-usual (Wilco, Jay-Z, and Frank Sinatra). The full list - typos and vague coding included - is under the cut.

Gay, Gay, Gaaaaaayyyyy!! )

Oh my G*d, I wish I were making this shit up. Still, the LULZ really made it worth the page view(s) I was giving that jackass.

One year ago...

And today, that can become more than a "Domestic Partnership", since California Supreme Court Says Same-Sex Couples Have Right to Marry

So, we have to wait a month before we can get married - the ruling is effective in 30 days - but we can get married. For Reals. We just have to make an appointment at City Hall - and we'll be doing that as soon as possible, because it'll be a madhouse in this city.




Of course, the Fundies have petitions to get a measure on the November ballot to overturn that ruling ... so my marriage would risk being null and void after 6 months. But, I really don't care. I'm just geeking out here!

I'm kind of confused here ... tonight, I saw shopping cart poaching taken to a really fucked up level.

Typically, if someone is going to take something out of an unattended cart, it's usually the last of something they wanted.

For me, my unattended cart was poached. Not for the cat food or the bread, but my paper shopping bags. Seriously. Went to the restroom and left my paper bags in the cart, only to return and find my back brace box in the cart - which was rather odd. I put the box into the bag, and found that two of my bags were gone. That's a ballsy move.

However, if that person was going to take my bags, why not go full-on balls to the wall and take all of the paper bags?


The mind boggles...

These are from yesterday - but you'll play along, right?

1) I had the afternoon off yesterday (yay comp time!) so I got to run about the city and just do whatever. While doing that, this is what I experienced:

2) A mediocre mani/pedi that was looking wrecked before I even left the place! (Damned sandals)

3) A cool purse - mine is actually black, with red / white print.

4) The drunken "Whooo" people hanging out in the Upper and Lower Haight areas - oh the joys of St. Patrick's Day. I will admit that the Upper was more fun, with musicians at one bar playing traditional Irish music.

5) Not wearing green - and not getting pinched.

6) Seeing 9-to-5 desk jockeys/wage slaves reading Guitar World magazine. I just love the idea of someone all buttoned-up and serious, with a rockstar side. Even if it's just a Guitar Hero rockstar side.

And, of course, this one's for the fangirls - Brendon Urie - Equal Opportunity Boy. He could totally be full of it - but if not, go Team QueerMo! :-P


So, that's that for now. More to follow!



p.s.: I think my friend, [livejournal.com profile] lordgroovius, would really appreciate some good thoughts, prayers and beams, since she is in the hospital - and on last report, is doing well.

I was thinking about how I sometimes play the game of "If I had a band..." - namely so I can come up with band names.

My personal favorite, so far, has been "Aguilerica" - which I lifted from a Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) interview that I'd read a couple of years back.


Yesterday, however, I saw something that prompted a new band name. I'd gone to a dollar store in the Mission, mainly to look around - wound up getting some of the cotton rounds, so I can take care of my infected eyebrow piercing. When I was at the register, I saw a display for condoms - and you could tell that they were "Classy with a K", because they had names like, "Blow", "Kinky", "Tooshie" and "Shaft".

What I'm getting at is that if I had a band, I'd call it "Condoms at the Dollar Store".

Just because it's a really odd name, and it could catch people's eye - even though the music would suck, because I can't sing for shit. (And I'm taking the lead from Panic at the Disco and leaving out the (!).)



So, yeah, that's that for now. I'll have an actual post later on - I need to get ready to see one of my favorite gay boys! (It's time to get my hair done - cut and color. I'm looking like a borderline trashy soccer mom. Not cool.)

The Good:

1. American Idol last night. My Pocket GaysTM really seemed to bring it this week, and Danny is continuing to cement the IPW status I'd determined last week. Being in a punk band with his fag hag kind of did that.

2. The young boy (Nathan) I'd overheard at Lane Bryant last night. While shopping with his mom for clothes for his grandma, he went right to the jewelry, with his mom calling him back a few times. By the time they were at the back of the store, Nathan was back at the jewelry. When he found a pair of earrings for his grandma, he brought them up to mom and said, "these would be nice, they're kind of basic." I was giggling the entire time - and I should've gotten him to help me pick out some jewelry!

3. Today is my dad's birthday - so Happy Birthday to him! I'll have to give him a call, to wish him a Happy Birthday - and I need to send out his card!


The Bad:

1. This morning, waking up all nauseous and puke-y. I have no clue where it came from, just that it hit pretty suddenly. So I've been drinking water and eating crackers, trying to keep that down - so far, so good.

2. I'd gotten a "fancy" MedicAlert bracelet - made of sterling silver - last weekend. Unfortunately, I wore it overnight, and woke in the morning with blue-ish/green marks where the bracelet was worn. That really sucked, because I wanted to have something dressier - and I couldn't wear it! {It does have a semi-good resolution; I called MedicAlert, they are taking the bracelet back, and letting me exchange it for the silver-rhodium, which doesn't cause a reaction. So, I just have to mail *that* as well.}


The Indifferent:

It's Wednesday. Kind of the standard issue "Hump Day" - oh joy.

Don't mind me while I squee for a moment here - I think I've just found my houseboy!

Hey white boy, you'd make a great slave

It's the 2nd video - and it kills me a little that it's basically an advert for American Eagle Outfitters.
:-/

But, due to my being so easily amused, it's kind of made up by Patrick wearing my favorite dish gloves - pink Casabella gloves. Although, mine are better because they cuffs have a pink leopard print! :-P







Now, I just have to wrest him away from Pete Wentz. That hussy.
