Ever since it premiered on October 9, I have been faithfully watching A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila on MTV. In case you’re not familiar with it (it is trashtastic, after all), this show is another dating show along the lines of The Bachelor, for crackheads – 16 straight men and 16 lesbians are… Continue reading bisexuality goes mainstream

family first (or, the entry in which Rachel overuses the bullet-point function)
Australia isn't known as a queer-progressive nation. Although the country has its fair share of the GLBT community, and although they're no Iran in terms of recognizing the community, they're certainly not pushing any boundaries in giving the gay community rights and recognition. They do, however, have a fairly recently-founded and vocal conservative party, the… Continue reading family first (or, the entry in which Rachel overuses the bullet-point function)

I was wrong about where Ween is from (it's New Hope, PA, not Canada), but I was totally right about their song "Push th' Little Daisies" from 1993.Yeah.
I recently had a drunken phone conversation with an old friend. He was kind enough to indulge me for quite a while (I wince at the thought of the cost of that bill, as he lives in California, and if my call log is correct, he listened to me ramble for the better part of… Continue reading

I received my acceptance letter and admission packet this weekend, and I've got until December 12th to acknowledge my acceptance.I'm excited. I do enjoy going to… Continue reading the grind
