How is it that I'm just finding out today about the new show that Logo will be premiering in February, Transamerican Love Story? So exciting!TLS will be a competitive dating show, with one bachelorette and several male suitors.

wakes me up faster than a cup of coffee.
For the second time in a week, I got screamed at this morning.The first time was on Friday, in a bar, by someone I used to consider a friendly acquaintance – while I was surprised, I have to admit that his behavior at the bar fits my image of him as a person. He called… Continue reading wakes me up faster than a cup of coffee.

Poor kid.Considering the boredom, he is remarkably well-behaved, and has been showing off for my coworkers.
