  • Twinks Who Buy Drinks?

    November 22, 2009

    • (Posted from The Publeconomist, published 11/19/09) I recently wandered across this Boystown-based (Chicago) blog: Twinks Who Buy Drinks.  Cute stuff, check it out.  If you’re not sure what a twink is, it’s slang in the gay community for a young, thin guy.  The term also usually carries some implications of ignorance, naivete, and sexual promiscuity.   The author’s pitch is that he’s ...

  • Books Are Good For Leaving Messages

    November 11, 2009

    • While in the library the other day, the man next to me was looking at A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. His laptop buzzed and he quickly abandoned his reading continuum for a short blast of finger pulses transmitting data to followers everywhere across the cyber universe. He was tweeting at the speed of light. I took out my lined notebook...A Brief History of Follow MeA couple of ...

There was a nice sized crowd, about twenty, which for a small library was good, and one gentleman, who is one of my followers on Twitter, had ...
  • The Sandwich

    •  Visit http://thepeepdiaries.com for complete info on the book, the documentary and more  Last week, director Sally brought the film crew over the house to film a scene she’d come up with. The plan was to record me making a sandwich. No big deal for me. I’d already napped, urinated, played Scrabble, gotten drunk, wandered around half naked, made spaghetti and pretty much done ...
