Times are tough for everyone

Please don't reuse your catheters.

I just saw a commercial for Liberator Medical Supplies. In the commercial an actress said her insurance company denied her getting new catheters. The actress appeared very sad as she sat in a field and talked about boiling and reusing her catheters and her constant urinary tract infections. Liberator Medical supplies claims to help you afford their products whenever you need to "cath". I didn't even know "cath" was a word.

Even though the actress ended up getting her catheters which allowed her to run in the field by the end of the commercial, I'm still greatly disturbed.

Please don't reuse your catheters. You deserve a fresh pee every time!

WTF Perez?

If you haven't heard the self proclaimed "Queen of All Media", Perez Hilton, is in a war with Black Eyed Peas' founder, will.i.am, and GLAAD.

Perez called will.iam a gay-slur and in returned got punched in the face. Then GLAAD got involved and reprimanded Perez for using a hate word. The dramarama continues and I was asked to weigh in on the matter.

Brunch with Dee & Nekisa

Hi kiddies- BRUNCH is back! This week I have the two women who brought us the award-winning short film Pariah: director Dee Rees and producer Nekisa Cooper.

Dee and Nekisa talk about the making of Pariah, and their new documentary Eventual Salvation, which will air on the Sundance Channel in October and will screen at Brooklyn Academy of Music as a part of their Cinematek Program during the Afropunk Film Festival.

The real-life couple also talk about how they met and are challenged by my newest game, "How Well Do You Know Your Lesbian?" The results are shocking!

Please vote for Pariah in the Netflix "Find Your Voice" Film Competition. If Pariah wins, Dee will receive a $150,000 cash grant, production resources, and the film will be distributed on Netflix. (The film is currently in second place, so vote today!)

5 Things I Am Looking Forward To

No matter how you feel about Michael Jackson or Farrah Fawcett, these two artists have changed our culture and I feel badly for their mourning family and friends.

Since every channel is airing a biography on one of them I can't escape the sadness so I decided to make a list of: 5 Things I Am Looking Forward To!

(in no particular order)

#1 The next Harry Potter movie: HP and the Half Blood Prince. My cloak is ironed and ready.

#2 My sister's wedding. I bought my bridesmaid dress and tear-free mascara.

#3 Decorating my porch with plants and flowers. They have to be fake or plants I can't kill easily.

#4 My wife's birthday. Endless presents for the princess.

#5 California Gay Marriage on the 2010 Ballot. Fingers crossed it will turn out right this time.

Burger King's New POUND OUR PATTY: 7 Inches and Counting Campaign

RIP Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson, The King of Pop, has died today at the young age of 50.

Obviously, he had a life full of great successes and even greater scandals and I wish his family well as they try to heal.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

I wish I could give Janet a big hug right now and maybe a tap on the ass...too soon?

TMZ announced Michael Jackson has died!?!?!?!

Today is a dark day, TMZ announced that two great entertainers who have shaped our culture have died, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

We all knew that Farrah was dying from anal cancer but I didn't know Michael had heart problems. TMZ reported that, "Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him."

I hope for his children's sake that this report is premature and he'll be revived.


RIP Farrah


Michael Jackson died?

SUPERMODEL GOLF?

Whilst flipping thru the channels I came upon a television show called SUPERMODEL GOLF on the Asian Network. The premise of the show is Supermodels being taught how to golf. BRILLIANT!

This is the most literal show title in the history of the world. I didn't recognize any of the "Supermodels" so maybe the show should be demoted to "Model" Golf because there was nothing super about these women or the show.

p.s. I'm now watching CHEATERS.
What's wrong with me?

Below is the infamous clip of Bob Barker and Adam Sandler golf fighting in HAPPY GILMORE (I'm 100% sure this clip was taped from someone's television hence the glare):

WTF is Obama Defending DOMA for?

My friend Dara Nai is the editor in chief at the new gay website Ourscenetv.com.

Dara asked me to write a blog about Obama's administration defending the DOMA, the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, a law he promised to repeal when he was running for president. It states that ONLY marriage exists between a man and a woman.

Please check out my blog and leave a comment. :)
WTF Obama?

p.s. Is that Halle Joel Osmond?

Soup Scam?

I'm sick and when I'm sick, like many of you, I drink lots hot tea and eat lots of soup. Whilst eating my 3rd bowl of minestrone soup I realized it's all a conspiracy...

What if the soup companies were purposely making us sick so we eat their product?

Now I have real reason or proof to believe this but why else would anyone eat mass amounts of minestrone soup? Minestrone soup is nasty but it's the only thing my body won't puke up. Coincidence? I don't think so...

p.s. Maybe my sickness is messing with my rational thoughts.

p.p.s. I'm going to heat up more soup.

Fuck Guinea Pigs!

The movie industry is slower than ever and I just saw a billboard for an animated guinea pig movie called G-Force and it's due to come in July.

All my actor friends are filing for unemployment and drawings of rodents will be cleaning up at the box office. Sure a lot of actors (Nicolas Cage, Penelope Cruz, Sam Rockwell) are loaning their voices to the film but voiceover doesn't pay the same as long union hours on set.

If Hollywood cares about its people it will make more live action movies and scripted television. If this keeps up poor Penelope Cruz won't be able to afford polish for her Academy Award.

p.s. Wait...The G-Force movie will be in 3-D?!?!?! Disregard my above rant and let's go opening night!



p.p.s. Remember the awesome Michael Jackson Captain EO 3-D movie at Disneyland? Looking back now it's kinda disturbing.

I HEART SICK OF SARAH

Last night I attended the ROXY's girlfest of powerhouse bands starring Sick of Sarah and Von Iva.

Both bands fucking rocked it and made me proud to sport a vagina. If you don't already own their albums (or a vagina) BUY THEM.

Support indie music and female bands.

If you didn't attend the concert you missed the AMAZING Abisha (SOS) spitting water like a porpoise and Lay Lay (VON IVA) smashing the drums until her stick shattered. Lay Lay is the new Animal.

(ok this is a dolphin but you get the idea)

FREE DONUTS!

Ok maybe I shouldn't be as excited about this as I am but I just read on msn.com that tomorrow, June 5th, is National Doughnut Day!

Why do donuts have their own National Holiday and Harvey Milk doesn't?

In celebration Krispy Kreme will be giving away free donuts and no purchase is necessary. Dunkin' Donuts will be will giving out free donuts too but you'll have to buy a beverage to get one.

When I was a kid my parents would take us to Dunkin' Donuts every Sunday after church. I never liked donuts because their smell use to give me migraines so instead I would get an ice cream cone at the Carvel located next door. awww... memories.

20 years later I'll be first in line at Krispy Kreme tomorrow when they open. Partly because I have learned to appreciate the magic of donuts and partly because I'm now lactose intolerant and there isn't a Carvel located near my house.

Below is an instructional video on how to make donuts:

Tears and Honey.

Today I went to the doctor for my yearly check up and I forgot I needed to get blood work done...oh shit!

I HATE needles. I always cry, I pass out and then I continue to cry some more.

I instructed my doctor that I was A-O-K and my blood was in tip top super-duper shaped. He listened to my pitch then instructed me to go down to the 2nd floor and get my blood taken.

On the 2nd floor the receptionist was lovely. She took me to the back to get prepped and I told her I was bad with needles. I asked her for some water and a piece of candy.

She laughed. I didn't.

She smiled and then dialed the phone next to her and whispered into it, "Grab Katrina."

Katrina? Who's Katrina?

Katrina was large russian woman who was summoned from her lunch break to take my blood and make sure I didn't faint in their office. Katrina entered with no eye contact and was all business. She told me they didn't have candy in their office because their office wasn't for babies.

Katrina 1, Bridget 0

Then she handed me a dixie cup of water and a packet of honey. She told me that the office didn't provide the honey, that she takes the packets from Starbucks and brings in for people like me.

Katrina 2, Bridget 0

Katrina rolled up my sleeve, groaned and then began to stab at my tiny veins. I told the receptionist my veins were little but apparently she didn't pass the message onto Katrina aka Sweeney Todd. I tore open the packet of honey with my teeth and sucked on it while tears began to stream down my face.

I HATE needles!

Katrina said she didn't understand why I was crying. She said she took blood from a 3 year old last week and he didn't cry.

Katrina 3, Bridget 0

I said, "I thought this office wasn't for babies?!"

Katrina 3, Bridget 1

Katrina quipped, "The three year old wasn't acting like a baby."

Katrina 4, Bridget 1

Ummm WTF? Why was this woman being so mean to me? Was I in a Quentin Tarantino movie? I couldn't be because if I was then Quentin would be standing by waiting to jump in and ruin the scene with his overacting...I digress.

Katrina finished taking my blood, licked her fingers (ok she didn't do that but if she did I wouldn't have been surprised) and bandaged me up.

I held my arm up and wiped my tears from my face. She then said I wasn't allowed to cry on the next one.

The NEXT ONE?

Katrina said she needed to take more blood. More? Why didn't she just take it all when my veins were dripping? Katrina told me we were going to have to wait 10 minutes until I calmed down because she couldn't work with my crying. Apparently my crying was too distracting for her.

I told her that she either do it then or not at all because I wanted to leave immediately.

She agreed and handed me another honey packet. I sucked down that little packet in 3 seconds as she stabbed me in my arm yet again and told me to sit still since my crying was causing me to shake.

2 gallons of blood later I'm all bandaged up.

IN SUMMATION:

#1 Honey packets ROCK!
#2 Katrina SUCKS!
#3 The KILL BILL series RULES!

p.s. Maybe Katrina is short for California Mountain Snake?

Who's ready for summertime?
