I have finally recovered from Bar Nite (All the gay bars join together once a month to promote themselves and back stab each other through a rotating cycle). After only 4 weeks of bartending, We got bar nite. I had the pleasure of being overwhelmed and severly humbled at my talents. I am truly blessed with a supportive family (Maureen, Debbie and my Father Jack) and faithful friends (Cha Cha, Chauffer Brian and Woody Galore) who all made an appearance. Jeannie joined me behind the bar at 10:00 after putting out a buffet of food that she had made herself. The Bar was wall to wall people from 10 till 2:30, with a large part of it being the twinks of Eddie Murphy's One Night Wonders (Eddie Murphy manages bars that open one night a week for the gay community, take their money and then go straight again). Eddie runs a tab for his employees and they drink away on his dime. It was a candy shop for them, ordering top shelf and refilling their glasses like a Burger King soda fountain. I got to see many of the old faces from past days. Kisses and hugs were all around, while I checked to make sure my wallet was there after each one. We stayed packed till 2:30, when Eddie closed his tab, like cockroaches in a well lit room, they climbed over themselves to leave so fast they overlooked the "tipping" part of the night. Eddie must know his employees well, because he left a sizable tip to cover them. As the last customers left, One bossy, toothless bitch who had been tirelessy working our regular customers to come to her bar decided that the person she came with was overgenerous with her tip so she combined it with her non-tip, left us 5 dollars and pocketed the rest. Though I don't like to smear names, I will say this "A thief by any other name would smell as skanky". I couldn't believe my eyes and would have disbelieved it if it wasn't for 2 other customers seeing this. After I told Jeannie, She grabbed a knife chasing the car out of the parking lot. Such language from a petit little woman. Sadly to say, Jeannie didn't catch the car, but I pray I'm in the same room when Jeannie confronts her.
The Golden Globes were a bag of mixed feelings for me. As predicted Aunt Meryl walked away with the trophy for "Julie and Julia" making her the front runner for the Oscars (Or as I call it Holy Day), with Sandra Bullock picking hers up for "The Blind Side". Glee triumphantly won best comedy show, but sadly the 3 stars went home empty handed. I seriously don't get the ommission of Jane Lynch, for best supporting actress. The woman steals every scene she's in, eating up the scenery and the cast alike. I seriously think the Gay Mafia won't take this sitting down, so the members of the foreign press better watch their backs; Jane and Neil patrick Harris will be gunning for you. The real upset came in the Director and Movie Drama categories, both going to Avatar. For the record, I haven't seen Avatar, but James Cameron's ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow, was supposed to be a shoo-in for best director for the "Hurt Locker" and "Up in the Air" was a front runner for picture. If there is a positive side, at least it will add great suspense to the Oscars this year. Hopefully the Academy will overlook these awards and finally give a woman the directing oscar, or N.O.W. might be hiring their own hitmen.
Today is Manny day for me, so I need to ready myself for Liam. We have a big day prepared of shopping at BJ's (sadly disappointed when I found out it was just a wholsale chain) and stopping in to surprise Cha Cha LaBucca at his dance studios.
I have previously posted the video for "Taylor the Latte Boy" and now they have post the responce video (seems Kristin is a bit of a stalker) so enjoy and TaTa for now.
