Connie's Getting Prettied Up

Landscaping the front yard has been my project the past few weekends. I've planted a few things in the backyard too.

A new project for Chilly?

I was walking in Soho yesterday and came across these cool coral reefs in a gallery window, all made of yarn. The artist had some amazing knitting skills. Chilly, can you make me one of these? Now that you don't need to knit scarves and hats anymore. :-)

My New Two Cents

I like new bands too, especially when they sound like the 80s (a sign of age):



AND

My Lip Gloss is Poppin

This happened to me the other day when Chad gave me some lip gloss.

The video is like a mini after school special at the end.

We went out to the Puppetry Center last night (the center itself was way cool) with our friend Lucas. The puppet show we saw was very entertaining, a bit thought provoking and mucho funny. The two puppets in the picture are of the main character "Karagoz" who is part of a very ancient tradition, even with his (eventual) enormous dick that got him into mischief. The big penis was nice.

OMG... Griff and Chad introduced this to me in Atlanta and I'm addicted to it! Basically a Trans gal, Mimi Plastique is filming a blog entry on the L train in Chicago and some ass clown decides to "fcuk with her".
There are so many great one liners in here. It gets better and better every time I watch it.
Disturbing and hyterical... Just like my man's.
Enjoy!

Joyce doesn't know Jack . . .

. . . but she sure would like to.

I thought some of you might like to read this story in the most recent issue of poz.com. Rumor has it that two of our COD contributors know Jack from the swimming world.

(And I apologize for taking the attention-grabbing approach with the pic. I just couldn't find a good enough graphic of the magazine's cover, and when I went looking for other images . . . .well . . . . I thought this one was rather nice. In fact, if you do a google image search for "jack mackenroth," you'll see that I had other nice ones from which to choose.)

Some volleyball fun (and drama)

For those who don't know, I'm in a bit of a transition right now in terms of moving out of my old apartment and into my new room in a communal house near the east village in nyc on May 1. Going through some big changes and have been spending this time in transition in columbus and atlanta.

I'm currently in Atlanta and had the privilege of seeing Griff and Chad play with their volleyball team last night. Fun times, and very impressed by Chad's blocking and hitting skills and Griff's quick reflexes and killer serve. I loved seeing their positive energy on the court and their encouragement and patience with other players. I was even more impressed at how great Chad looked after playing 4 sweaty games (see pic. below). Notice the contrast in sweat production between chad and his teammate to the left. Amazing. I wonder if there is a similar contrast in "stink" production, and if so, who would be stinkier? ;-)

With that said, things got *cute* with a bit of volleyball drama when griff disagreed with some of the decisions made by the team captain, Larry, and in spectacular "griff style," decided to lead the team in a revolt against Larry. A few angry words were exchanged, proclomations of "I quit" and "he better stop" were exclaimed. But the team worked out their problems for now, and I'm sure will be back for more fun next week. At the end of the night, Larry walked over to griff and chad to apologize and, I think the facial expressions of griff and chad below says it all. Ahhh, Larry, not sure if there is any hope for you.

Apparently, the little bit of humble activism I participated in has resulted in an apology from Jay Leno. Please make with the clicky for more information about that: My Gayest Look Results
