I’m reading this book right now, written by nutzo homo author Augusten Burroughs, called Running With Scissors. It’s written in the ‘A Confederacy of Dunces’ vein, which means I like it. Lots of memorable characters and dialogue that is shocking and disgusting. The book is good, but it’s also pretty intense in its descriptions of squallor and various filthy perversions.
In looking at the name of the author, I think back to all the eccentric homosexual people that I’ve known (quite a few actually) and most of them have really unusual names, like Augusten, or Trean, or Milo. I find this an interesting trend.
Side note, my auction to sell my motorcycle jacket has 2 hours left and my reserve is almost met. Hopefully it will sell in a bidding frenzy in the last few minutes.

Does it make you feel hot and sexist? What’s the deal with your brother’s thing next week?

I dunno, I think the ‘thing’ was called off, but he’s coming to town anyway. Also, mom is going to be here this weekend and maybe your mom and Jim. So if you don’t have anything else going on, you might want to come on over. It’s going to be interesting.
