goodbye january... it's not hard to see you go...
THURSDAY | 01.30.03 | 3:56pm | catching up... wow, okay, sorry... haven't blogged in a few days because, well, there was pretty much nothing to blog about... i spent the last two weeks slumming (happily) in the east village with my charlie... now i'm back up here in hell's kitchenette looking out my window at a still somewhat frozen hudson river... *sigh* tonight it's back to the normal social obligations that i'm used to but didn't miss at all while i was out... stopping by barnes and noble for my friend craig's book signing and then over to a new bar called the slide which i'm scouting for my big party on february 15th (don't worry, details will follow soon)... there's a change in the air, ladies and gentlemen... something big is gonna happen soon... i can feel it...
FRIDAY | 01.24.03 | 7:50pm | another year... in less than 12 hours i will have been on earth for 25 years... i think that this is the first birthday that i could deal with or without... i really don't care... eh, well...
WEDNESDAY | 01.22.03 | 4:09am | you suck, dan'l... okay, so i didn't get one single nomination for any of the bloggies (again)... what the fuck ever... voting is stupid, anyway... (but i'm still totally backing you, you, and you...) (motherfuckers)... (no, not you, you, or you... just everyone else)... (well, sorta... i mean, not everyone else... i mean... what the fuck ever)...
MONDAY | 01.20.03 | 11:03am | hmmm... okay... the golden globes took place last night and all i have to say is that it was the strangest mishmash of awards given that i can remember in a long time... there wasn't really any one show or film that swept the awards this year and, in fact, it seemed like each one that was nominated got at least one award... yeah, the film musical/comedy category was somewhat monopolized by chicago (which is, in my opinion, understandable) but in the dramatic category the best director/best actress/best actor/best picture awards all went to different films... weird... my favorite moment was edie falco's inability to speak when accepting her award because of laryngitis, but i really have to agree with something i read on entertainment weekly site this morning: seeing "curb your enthusiasm" get a globe comedy award almost assuaged "the shield'"s defeat of "the sopranos" (which i don't exactly agree with, but whatevah...) (thank heaven the latter series' edie falco snagged a trophy). but the funniest moment wasn't larry david's funny-enough acceptance speech -- it was those celine dion commercials for chrysler, a perfect match of unhip auto company with unhip singer, whose vocals sounded alternately like cher or jewel on one of jack nicholson's valiums. please, next year: drop tv movies from the ceremony and hand out a golden globe to the most inadvertantly entertaining commercial. hollywood is weird...
SUNDAY | 01.19.03 | 12:24pm | the high life... things in the east village have gotten better... either the apartment is getting warmer or my poor little body has adjusted to the cold... *shrug* charlie and i decided yesterday to turn all of the clocks over or put tape over the digital time displays on the tv, stereo, etc. and wear bath robes all day... "we're going to live like liz taylor for a while," he said to me... it's actually kind of fun... we're eating junk food, smoking too many cigarettes, and watching bad horror movies... i'm having a blast... it's like i'm vacationing except i'm still in the same city... damn, by posting this i know that it's 12:24pm... don't tell charlie...
FRIDAY | 01.17.03 | 2:26pm | misc... i'm co-apartment-sitting with my friend charlie in the east village... this apartment is COLD... there's a constant draft and i froze all night... i'm sitting here now in the living room with my freakin' coat on eating domino's dots and sneezing and shivering... aren't you jealous??? keith informed me that thesexfilmproject.com won the award for "best special promotion (movie)" from man net dot com... does anyone have problems getting onto friendster??? it takes forever for me to get in when i first log on... i just don't get it... i need my friendster fix NOW!!!
WEDNESDAY | 01.15.03 | 10:42pm | i'm a geek... okay... okay... fine... okay... it took me forever to make it over to friendster.com after poking and prodding from several friends and i finally did it... thanks a lot, people... i've successfully killed the last five hours of my life (and i'm still loving it)... so, yeah, anyway... um, what happens when kevin bacon joins???
WEDNESDAY | 01.15.03 | 5:38pm | made for me... found this (via uffish thoughts) just now... think i should get it???
TUESDAY | 01.14.03 | 2:02am | well, that's just too serious... i started to go to bed and couldn't stop tossing and turning... why??? no, it wasn't the left-over drugs in my system... it wasn't that bbq chicken i had for dinner... it wasn't that i needed just one more cigarette before falling asleep (well, okay, so it was partly that)... no, it was that little thing in my head asking how i could leave my site hanging on such a serious note for the rest of the night... so i crawled out of bed and turned my unconditionally understanding little pooter back on to search for something with the least bit of humor to share with you folks... ugh... i've already found everything that's funny on the web, i thought to myself... i hate to say it, but when all else fails, checking my search engine referrals is pretty great... people have arrived at my poor innocent little site by searching for: wow... welcome to revolution freedom...

TUESDAY | 01.07.03 | 5:03pm | hey, jesus, pass the budha... from the guardian via high times... Jesus 'healed using cannabis'
Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.
"There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion," Carl Ruck, professor of classical mythology at Boston University said.
Referring to the existence of cannabis in anointing oils used in ceremonies, he added: "Obviously the easy availability and long-established tradition of cannabis in early Judaism... would inevitably have included it in the [Christian] mixtures."
Mr Bennett suggests those anointed with the oils used by Jesus were "literally drenched in this potent mixture... Although most modern people choose to smoke or eat pot, when its active ingredients are transferred into an oil-based carrier, it can also be absorbed through the skin".
Quoting the New Testament, Mr Bennett argues that Jesus anointed his disciples with the oil and encouraged them to do the same with other followers. This could have been responsible for healing eye and skin diseases referred to in the Gospels.
"If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil... and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ," Mr Bennett concludes.
TUESDAY | 01.07.03 | 3:58pm | don't say it unless you mean it... yeah!!! hey!!! what ever happened to this???
TUESDAY | 01.07.03 | 11:32am | in the press again it may not be directly about me, but i still love it... from today's page six... Slow casting for sex flick
JOHN Cameron Mitchell is directing a new movie that will make his role as a transsexual glam rocker in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" seem as tame as "Mary Poppins." Mitchell's "The Sex Film Project" will feature actors having actual sex while cameras roll. He tells us he's looking for "downtown, bohemian, Williamsburg" types to fill one or more gay male leads and a few other parallel "lesbian or straight" roles in the picture, which Mitchell hopes will have "the humor and emotion of a film like 'Y Tu Mama Tambien,' but with much more explicit sex." So far he's gotten one inquiry from a celebrity. "Someone from William Morris called and said, 'Is there a part for Mandy Moore?' " The squeaky-clean songbird's rep decided against pursuing the role after Mitchell's casting agent directed him to the movie's Web site, which features a man performing oral sex on himself. "After that, they lost interest," Mitchell chuckled.
TUESDAY | 01.07.03 | 12:46am | um... um... um... i'm completely addicted to reality tv... (by the way, you do realize that there are only about 5 days left in the nomination process, right???
MONDAY | 01.06.03 | 11:02pm | i won!!! i won!!! i've been named "fag of the week" by the lovely fellas over at east/west... isn't that sweet!?!?!?!
SUNDAY | 01.05.03 | 5:17pm | the gayest injury... my friend john bought a karaoke machine and invited a bunch of friends over to his place last night to play with it... it was fun... laughing, cutting up, singing our silly little hearts away... kylie minogue comes up and everyone refuses to sing it so i, being the loyal fag that i am, say, oh, give me the damn microphone...
i climb up onto his pool table and sit there belting out my best "la la la" when john decides to jump up on the table with me... he starts this sort of silly interpretive strip tease behind me and pulls me backward so that i'm lying down... i'm singing and laughing and the next thing i know--there it is... john's little big butt sitting on my face... this wouldn't normally be such a big deal (it's happened lots and lots of times!!!) except that there was a metal microphone between my poor vulnerable lips and his rock hard little big butt...
SCRAPE!!!!!!
[into the mic] ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
the audience is loving the show...
a little more oblivious pushing and rubbing the mic into my mouth... what bad could happen???
when john stood up i covered my mouth and ran to the bathroom... blood... blood... ow, ow, ow... let's suffice it to say that i had this very interesting mesh-patterned scab and bruise running across my mouth this morning... ... i called my friend howard in texas this afternoon and told him the story... i had called it "the gayest injury" and he quickly canceled it out by telling me about something that recently happened to our friend jeremy... it seems that he almost had his uvula ripped out by a prince albert... you figure that one out... yup... THAT would be the gayest injury...
SATURDAY | 01.04.03 | 4:14pm | a message from john cameron mitchell... hey, just wanted to let you all know about the new film i'm directing. it's all explained at: http://www.thesexfilmproject.com
we need help with casting (agents aren't being helpful because of the unusual explicitness) so i'm asking everyone to spread this message around to anyone who might be interested in the project--and not necessarily union or even experienced actors. i'd prefer that people whom i don't know go through the first round of auditions and submit a video, but if there's anyone you want to specially recommend, let me know their name and contact info. if they have agents, they should contact our casting director, susan shopmaker, directly at 212 686 5502. also, if you have some ideas to publicize the casting process, lemme know, cause we don't have money for ads. (we'll take just money too--financing ideas are welcome!) thanks, john cameron mitchell
FRIDAY | 01.03.03 | 4:10pm | public sex... my latest site design (which is absolutely NOT safe for viewing at work) (or by my family) has been launched... go check out www.TheSexFilmProject.com!!! but hey, if it gets you hot and excited, you can always submit your video to me!!! (i'm only kidding) (well, sorta)...
WEDNESDAY | 01.01.03 | 3:46pm | memories... i went back to bed for a while and woke up a few hours ago to clean up my apartment... it wasn't bad at all... good people make a small mess... i've mopped the floor and now i'm sitting here nekkid smoking a cigarette and waiting for the floor to dry...
tonight marks the third anniversary of the night i met brian... we don't have an official "started dating" date, so we make january first our anniversary... yup... it was three years ago tonight that i was recovering from what was next to the worse new year's eve i'd ever had (not quite as bad as the worst new year's eve ever - four years ago i totalled my car at approximately 11:45pm december 31st and was unconscious in an ambulance on the way to the hospital when the clock struck midnight... if i would have died i would have been the first death of 1999... damn the luck!!!)... no, new year's eve three years ago had been the second worst ever... i had spent it with my (then and still) ex-boyfriend at a stupid party in jersey city where i got completely hammered and punched him in the nose and then cried 'til i peed in my pants... it took a lot to get me to go out that next night... i felt like poop... but some friends convinced me that i had to get out of the apartment and do something or i'd go insane... they took me to the cock (which had temporarily been moved to FC29 (once also the fat cock and now the hole) because of a sex bust that had gone down a few nights prior)... i stood in the corner by myself for a little while before meeting brian... he wanted me to go home with him and i refused... i was a good girl back then, you know... he asked me for my number and i gave him my email address... i was really playing hard to get... then he said he was gonna take off so i decided i'd leave also... there were quite a few people between us in the coat check line so i went up to him and asked if he'd get my coat for me... he rolled his eyes... we left and went in separate directions... but he emailed me... "so, dan'l. what's your story? i'm intruiged." i went wild. that's the perfect question to ask someone when their life seems to be spinning out of control... i needed to rant and i wrote what would probably go down in history as the longest freaking email ever... "i knew that you were insane at that point," he now says... and, yet, here we are three years later... and i'm still insane...
WEDNESDAY | 01.01.03 | 9:35am | it's here... happy new year everyone!!! i had a great time last night... i've discovered the secret to a successful new year's eve: have the party at your place!!! you can get as drunk as you like and not have to worry about cabs or the subway or any of that... ahhhhh... so refreshing... now, onto business... please??? now, not that i'd ever try to sway you (my favorite person in the whole world!!!) these are just some suggestions: best merchandise of a weblog vote... it's your duty as a loyal friend... (not that i'd ever try to pressure you into anything...) but hurry up!!! we only have 12 days!!! and oh yeah, that's right... it's spelled REVOLUTION FREEDOM and the address is HTTP://WWW.REVOLUTIONFREEDOM.COM thank you... *grin* (geez, i'm pathetic...)
FRIDAY | 01.31.03 | 7:43pm | thank the gods...
i think that's pretty neat...
(by the way, there is a collage of images showing chris meloni naked here somewhere... be resourceful...)
Duncan Campbell in Los Angeles
The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims.
