Today I am feeling much better! Thanks to those who offered the good wishes.

Tonight is the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Olympics. Between the terrorism threats and the drug scandals, it’s easy to forget that sports will be played. But I intend to watch the hours (and hours and hours) of coverage whenever I’m able to. Between NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Bravo and Telemundo, there won’t be any lack of options.

Yesterday while I was lying delirious on my couch, I saw some of the Iraqi soccer team winning their first game against Portugal. It’s really cool to see the Iraqi team succeed, particularly since they had been unable to practice in their war-torn country, and since they no longer have to fear torture by Uday Hussein should they lose.

So Jim McGreevey is a gay American. When I heard that a tri-state area governor was resigning, I had hoped it would be Pataki. No such luck. I suppose it’s a good thing that McGreevey came out of the closet but that’s tempered by the knowledge that he never would have come out if he wasn’t being blackmailed. And then there’s the knowledge that he gave a $110,000 job in homeland security to his lover. Shady. But it makes one wonder how many gays have lived closeted lives, married out of convenience and denied their true selves. Some good recent films that explore this topic are "Far from Heaven" and "The Hours."

Florida is bracing for Hurricane Charley. It’s supposed to hit the Citrus State today and it’s supposed to be the worst storm that Florida has seen in 50 years. With all the time that the presidential candidates have been spending in Florida, maybe we’ll get lucky and the hurricane will blow them away.

Watched an...interesting...program last night. It was on TRIO and it was called "Good Clean Porn". The concept is they take classic porn films from the '70s, such as "Debbie Does Dallas", edit out all of the porn & nudity and only show the bad acting scenes. And are they bad! "Boogie Nights" did a great spoof of the cheesy porn acting trend with their Brock Landers & Chest Rockwell scenes.

4-day weekend coming up for me! Taking off on Monday and Tuesday. So if anyone’s free those days and wants to do something, feel free to get in touch with me!
