Cinqo de Gayo

Posted on May 5, 2016 | 5 comments

gay, I’m not sure how today became an excuse for excessive drinking, but if I could remake the holiday, I’d brand it as Cinqo de Gayo and use it as an excuse to have Eliad Cohen parade around shirtless in a sombrero.

I realize Eliad has no connection to Mexico, but I feel like that isn’t really an issue. Who do I petition to get this a nationally recognized holiday in the US?

NC anti LGBT law could make the state lose hundreds of millions in Federal funding

Posted on May 5, 2016 | 1 comment

North Carolina anti LGBT lawLate yesterday the US Department of Justice (DOJ) warned North Carolina that significant aspects of the anti-LGBT legislation, officially known as House Bill 2 (HB2) violate federal civil rights law. Non-compliance with federal law could lead to North Carolina losing hundreds of millions of dollars of federal funding.

This follows the 4th Circuit’s decision that denying restroom access to trans students is sex discrimination under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act.

SpeakEasy Stage’s Dogfight opens Saturday, May 7

Posted on May 4, 2016 | Leave a comment

Boston theaterThe SpeakEasy Stage concludes their 25th season with their production, Dogfight, a powerful musical about an unlikely love story set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War.

For more information and to get your tickets link here

Dogfight: It’s November 21, 1963; and on the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines set out for one final boys’ night of debauchery, partying, and maybe a little trouble. But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion.

Swede (swēd/ noun) 
Definition: A native or inhabitant of Sweden, or a person of Swedish descent.
Example: Sweet lord, I need to meet more Swedes.

The Bear-Naked Chef returns

Posted on May 3, 2016 | Leave a comment

Madrid, Spain, cookingIt has been three months since The Bear-Naked Chef (a.k.a. Adrian De Berardinis) last cooked for us. A few weeks ago Adrian shared a teaser video of him in Madrid, Spain, promising to return soon with new recipes and yesterday he did just that. Adrian’s first recipe, “Albóndigas En Salsa Española” perhaps better known to my readers as, Meatballs in Spanish Sauce, looks delicious.

While the recipe does call for a number of ingredients, it does appear to come together fairly easily and looks like something I could easily whip up (although I’ll probably forgo the Spanish saffron) and add extra parsley.

Look delicious? Want to try the recipe? You can access this and previous recipes from Adrian’s website.

It is the thought that counts

Donald Trump toilet paperMy brother hit it out of the park this weekend when he sent me “Donald Trump’s Words of Wisdom” printed on cheap toilet paper (and made in China to boot) as a birthday gift. The gift makes me laugh each time I think about it; proving that it isn’t what you buy but the thought that really matters. Well done little brother.

Louis Boniface and Olivier Pierre video: Headway

Posted on May 1, 2016 | Leave a comment

Louis Boniface, Olivier Pierre

Much thanks to Brenton for sharing this video (see below) on his Aussielicious blog last week. After watching it I thought I would post it on my blog too because it is spectacularly shot and really quite beautiful; the perfect way to spend a few minutes as you wind down on a Sunday and get ready for work tomorrow.

Louis Boniface, Olivier Pierre

According to Brenton’s blog post, the video was a creative collaboration and experiment between the gymnast and slackline expert Louis Boniface and classical violinist Olivier Pierre. The project was art directed by Nicolas Romieu.

If you like this sort of thing you can follow Louis Boniface on YouTube, here.
