The Search

Dear Jack,

I am looking for a new job, as my old job is no more. All is good, so no worries. I've been applying to stuff for the past four hours, hoping that as potential employers arrive at work and check their email, my resume will be one of the first things they see.

Michael is still in Anaheim, and I he can't come home too soon, but for us that means Friday. I miss him. A lot. Daniel F. is back from Nebraska and Dirk, Dan, Frank and I met him at Michael's Restaurant for dinner last night. It was good to see him, and he brought back goodies from a Czech bakery back in Nebraska.

Dirk and I also met up and saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I rather enjoyed it. I've read already how people are complaining that it modified some parts of the book. One person said that it was one thing to leave something out and another to change things. The reality, is that a screenplay based on a book always has to change and modify the storyline. There was nothing that was outrageous, although I had wished more memories were included.

Hit Me Again

Dear Jack,

So once again I have been bit with the blogging bug insisting that I should write about life and get some thoughts out of my head. I honestly wish it were as simple as Harry Potter, where I could take them out in strands and let them rest in a pool of memories. Instead i tend to let them overpower my dreams and cause me to have broken sleeps as nostalgia and reliving the memories haunt me.

Since writing last, a lot has happened. I worked for Episcopal Migration Ministries through February. I had a really nasty departure from them, and can't say I am completely over how I was treated. I will not take time to discuss the issues, but let's just say that when the job ended, I did not feel bad for it ending, only in that my Supervisor had won against me.

Regardless, I am in a much better healthier place to work. I work for a law firm and a connected ESL school (Hello World). Additionally, I am volunteering on a political campaign for my boss (Yetta Kurland 2009). M3ch12l and I are still together, and still living in Astoria. Not much has changed there except that we are busy with a lot of organizations (QLGPC, IntegrityNYC, St. Bart's Church, St. Bart's LGBTQ Fellowship, OUTAstoria, and I'm sure I left one out).

Our parents are all doing well, and life, for the most part, is very good.

That's about all for now. If all goes well, I'll blog much more often.

Ali G Show

Dear Jack,

After watching Borat, Michael and I decided to put the Ali G Show on our Netflix. Although some may find the show a little low collar, I have to say it is petty funny. It is satirical. I highly recommend it for a good laugh. We just finished the second disk.

I'm also getting into the Harry Potter books. It was after we watched the latest movie that I've finally gotten into reading them. I started with the first and am now mid way through the fourth. I must say it is impression how little the movies deviate, although there are some notable differences.

Well that's it for now.
