benadryl haze is so two years ago. and yet.
hey @whitehouse, why no video yet of obama’s big gay speech? transcripts are great but i’d love to hear for myself.
today @lexicaljewel discovered PONYLAND, and has named them ponies. it was beautiful. pics coming.
obama’s gay history lesson almost seems impossible to me, still: http://bit.ly/O0bwB
“Now, 40 years ago, in the heart of New York City at a place called the Stonewall...”
– President Obama, teaching us about the Stonewall riots. I learned about Stonewall when I was 14 or 15 and my aunt, who had lived in the neighborhood, quite deliberately took me by the bar and told me the story. She wanted to make sure I knew what had happened, and because she also wanted me to get a...
cannot actually believe the ferocity of mosquitos in this part of the world. eaten alive but re-eloping was worth it anyway.
why hasn’t anyone bought US a headphone splitter so we could cuddle?!
Via @nytimes: w/ 17k+ votes, “Billie Jean” is our readers’ favorite Michael Jackson song: http://bit.ly/2tIX8I [duh, bc it’s the best!]
did we go BACK in time? Via @TheAdvocateMag: Gay Bar Raided, Arrests Made in Texas http://tinyurl.com/lc5yxf - on the anniv of stonewall?!
if you don’t believe in your soul in the power & importance of pop music, stfu about MJ’s legacy. you don’t get it anyway.
morning after lazy lounge time now over. time for the beach.
still amazed by how last night @madartista launched into “let’s go crazy” at karaoke bar & w/in seconds 2 random gays were dancing to it.
no kidding, our phones/texting don’t work on this island. dm or email or save it till the 6th!!
RT @jamietwitter funny there is apparently minimal to no att service on ocracoke, but I have it in the ocean
fried fish, brief meetup with caravan. now we have the dog and are on to the ferry!
open up your plans and damn you’re free (now entering dubious connectivity)
this morning: RT @jamietwitter on our way to ocracoke. biscuits for breakfast, adam lambert in the car. nice way to start the day
now: @lesliedean takes over driving, bwright on digital-via-analog, and I get the backseat with my wife.
happy pride weekend to all our friends in SF and NYC and other places going gay(er) this weekend!!!

didn’t sleep at allllll on that flight. now two hours for breakfast. then next try.
totally blew the opportunity to use #heygirlhey on that last tweet.
just had our travels blessed by the Rev Jesse Jackson. “hello ladies,” he said.
learning via @annkpowers that Rev Jackson flew in to be of comfort to the Jackson family, tonight saw Aretha at the Bowl…
.@petzoo okracoke on the outer banks of NC for 10 days with the housemates & family. even with a redeye between here & there it sounds fab.
.@meganwest just said, “hey pardner, ready for our week together??” to puppyface. i died of adorable.
last California sunset for 10 days. if you need me this week, text me or DM for most accurate results.
packing last of stuff, scarfing down Thai, contemplating how much to unplug and for how long.
spotted on SMB: Allison Iraheta doppelganger, woman w large parrot on shoulder, 2 men arguing in sign language. not even halfway home.
have scheduled in advance practically a full day of mtgs for my 1st day back after vacation. but: i am about to leave a tiny bit early.
glad i had a chance today to contribute @petewentz & co’s ultimate fanvid (aka Beat It) to this roundup of covers: http://bit.ly/oYJOJ
ridic long wait to get a burrito before i leave california mexican food for 10 days. also this is steak, not chicken. but whatever.
if MJ really had broken the internet i wouldn’t keep falling behind like this.
flipping through cable at work and found @OhFerras on directv’s 101, which continues to have awesome randomness.
will never get caught up on the internet today.
motown billie jean perf made me gasp (again). i’d forgotten that move. (this is not unlike last night’s repeat viewing.) http://bit.ly/TJDYx
Michael Jackson traffic doubled Twitter, tripled Facebook activity, broke AIM: http://bit.ly/OslAF (via @LATimescitydesk) @sarahlane
we are of the thriller generation. now that @madartista is home we’re drinking and trading stories and it’s — idk. we’re having a moment.
pretty sad how @mtv has to go so far back into its ex-/fired/retired talent to find ppl who can talk intelligently (and they are) about MJ.
weird day to be in the music news business. also, pretty sure i was in a room w/ @mikasounds when MJ was being taken to UCLA.
in better musical news, my biggest & immediate dream for an adam lambert producer has been realized: linda perry. http://bit.ly/9IZVG
every pop song i ever fall in love with will continue to be judged against “billie jean,” still the best best best ever ever ever.
whoa. in the lobby of a music publishing company with mj on the overhead. crazy to get the news now.
ahahahahah totally just exchanged awkward staring with jc chasez as we bottlenecked on sunset. tiny black sports car.
As a little @gaybird asked: If someone’s going to try to make money off Adam Lambert without his OK, why can’t it be a sex tape?
