Confession

Last week the bf and I had a misunderstanding. It didn’t last very long and was totally my fault. He was driving home; calling from his cell asking about a text message assuming was from me. But I knew I had not sent one and all of a sudden bells, sirens and whistles went off, loud enough to wake the green eyed fire breathing beast I thought died years ago.



In a few brief minutes or so I had the worst attack of jealousy I can remember. It was not something I care to repeat. I made an instant false assumption and grew a molehill into Mount Everest. In seconds I ordered a DEFCON 3 alert, armed the warheads with nukes, let fly the missiles in a surgical strike, and annihilated all of LA killing millions of innocent men, women, and children. And I wanted my poor innocent bf skinned, filleted, and burned at the stake.



Jealousy is an emotion I have not experienced often. Thank God. I think the last time I had an attack I was 19 or 20. When I met BC he was a bartender in hottest gay bar in town. Everyone loves the bartender and BC was hot so he had tons of admirers. In the first days of our relationship I staked out my territory and sat right in front of where he worked. Any too friendly soul was sent packing – fast; much to the amusement of BC. It didn’t take too long before I was secure enough to realize that it didn’t matter how many guys flirted or wanted him BC loved only me. No relationship that lasts as long as ours is without rough patches but jealousy or doubt about my place in BC’s heart was never a factor.

I am still settling into this new relationship. So far it has been easy and worries free. But I guess a few insecurities are still alive. The bf returned the call, found out it was from his ex, and it was easily decoded. When he got home all ruffled feathers had been smoothed and harmony in the land had been restored. He enjoyed the whole episode immensely. But I can’t say I did. It was stupid, silly, and embarrassing. But we agreed to call it our first tiff just so we could have make up sex.

And a few words of advice ... if you want to text my bf and live make sure it isn’t anonymous. Thank you.

Boys and their toys

I started the search for a house this week. The bf and I have been discussing the matter for a while. There’s nothing wrong with his house at all. It would be a great house if it were a little bigger. There are a couple of musts for the new place. This is California, it must have a pool. It also has to have room for my 1,000+ books and room for Dark’s film library and memorabilia collection. Both of us are big fans of the horror film genre. He says I only wanted him because he owned A Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger doll. And I say he only wanted me so he could get his hands on my Trilogy of Terror Zuni fetish doll. But he’s wrong. Actually I wanted him because he starred in the 1987 short film, Horror Brunch. There’s nothing like having a bf that can be seen on film with an Alien-like creature popping out of his chest.

Sneak preview

It’s November sweeps time for network TV. During sweeps time networks trot out special guests, major events on network shows, and prime time movies and miniseries. Normally I could care less. But now I’m a Hollywood spouse and I have to pay attention to these things. So I bring to your attention NBC’s 3 hour made for TV remake of the camp classic The Poseidon Adventure.

This Sunday, the 20th, is the air date. This version of The Poseidon Poseidon Adventure will be a pale imitation of the original. I mean the lead character is played by Steve Guttenberg for crying out loud. In the remake the ship isn’t overturned by a tidal wave. Terrorists detonate a bomb onboard causing the ship to roll over.

I don’t suggest anyone stay home to watch this stinker. But I do have to pimp the bf’s work. Dark did the matte paintings for the overturned ship’s hull. He never knows how they will be composited until he sees the film. To save you the agony of watching the whole movie I present you with a sneak preview. This is the plate he is given for reference. And then he paints this and this. There. You have now seen the best part of the film. I suggest skipping the movie and catching the opening weekend of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Like you weren’t going to do that anyway.

Ok, I’ve done my duty. I’ve promoted the bf’s career. Hey, this is November sweeps; to boost my hits I should be posting naked pics of the bf instead of his work! *just kidding honey* That reminds me; sometime Saturday my site meter reached 10,000 hits. That is a drop in the bucket compared to the popular kids but it amazes me. Next month will be this blog's first birthday. I should celebrate it and post naked pics of the bf. *just kidding honey*

Best invitation yet

We have been organizing our social life this week; accepting invitations and marking the calender. We are invited to the premiere of Minotaur, one of the bf's films on the 22nd. We have been invited to Thanksgiving dinner in Beverly Hills by the parents of one of his friends. The invitation to the premier of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on Dec. 6th just arrived. But the best invitation by far just arrived by email from one of Dark's crazier friends inviting us to a Craft Night. Craft night for 28 gay boys with ironing boards, glitter, and glue guns. The date has been circled; can't wait for this one.

Hey, who wants to craft Christmas, Valentine or Birthday cards
AND iron neato stuff on our shirts?
ME TOO!
Come over to my house
at about 7:00
on Friday, November 18
and we can do it!
I'll have the stuff for makin' cards,
so all you have to bring is stuff if you want to personalize 'em,
like photos, trinkets or your mom's cool heirloom jewels!
I'll have an ironing board & iron
you'll have to bring your own
cool shirts & transfers.
I'm gonna have snacks & hot chocolate
...& hooch if my mom forgets to lock the liquor cabinet again

be prepared

The bf just got some emergency work so we have to delay our mini vacation for a couple of days. Having a partner with a career is making me think more and more about going back to work myself. I’m seriously thinking about starting a business with the bf. He mentioned something he would like to branch into someday and I think it is a great idea. He could be the artistic force and I could supply the operations and marketing know how. More about that idea to follow. Stay tuned.

Until I do go back to work I’ll just have to be a good Hollywood spouse. It doesn’t appear that I will be standing on stage accepting an Oscar anytime soon. But I will happily settle for a televised thank you from the bf when he gets up onstage to receive the Best Visual Effects award. In fact I think I’ll start writing his acceptance speech now. I have NO intention of being another Chad Lowe. Hillary Swank forgets to thank him, her husband, publicy when she won the Best Actress Oscar for BOYS DON'T CRY? That’s so not happening to this boy.

Halloween redux

Here are some pics from the Halloween party.

It was a success so I’m going back to bed now.
