"I wouldn't love anyone with a character like mine"

[theholyinnocent]

Big gay Monday news. Well, big because it's stuffy and sticky in my office and as a result I don't feel like working (but when do I ever?):

1. Gothamist reports that Brokeback Mountain may be made into an opera. For the love of all that is holy, PLEASE keep Philip Glass away from this project. I think we should all be thankful Brokeback is not getting the third-rate movie-to-Broadway-musical treatment.

2. Watched the movie trailer for the remake of Brideshead Revisited:

I like Matthew Goode, I love Emma Thompson (even in frump mode), but boy, this looks like a ton of suckage. A complete bastardization of the book that makes it into a boring, quasi-tragic hetero love story, where the homoeroticism between Charles and Sebastian is nothing more than an exotic counterpoint. Gutless. Give me the original any day:

I used to think she looked more like an Afghan hound

Ha! During her perm years, my gf called her Poodlehead.

(Sorry, SJP, but this is what you get for positing yourself as a fashion icon...)

Yeah, there is a definite downside to meat-locker AC status...I shudder (hyuk!) to think what our bill will be this month.

We just had a three hour thunderstorm that seems to have helped significantly.

Naturally, I hid in the bed, pillow over my face, for the duration.
Thunderstorms down here are scary!
