Doctors Without Borders on Tumblr →
Hey everybody. I just made an donation ($35, but still a donation) to MSF in order to help their relief efforts in Haiti (or as I like to call it: The Tragedy of the Western Hemisphere) and I think you should donate, too. Have a great Thursday.
staff:
Doctors Without Borders is doing an extraordinary amount in Haiti. Please support their efforts and donate anything you can.

Gaudí's Christmas Day in Sacramento →
Gaudí could not spend Christmas morning with me; BGM’s family has an old dog, crazy dog. Also, bringing G into situations with a lot of people is tricky— he’s an anxious pup. I knew this…
Things I miss about New York →
In no particular order: Walking. The often unexpected change in the weather. Complaining about the unexpected change in the weather. Running into my friends in the neighborhood. Going to the…
Cuba Libre: A guided photo essay →
Ingrid wasn’t feeling well; she’s been having some relationship troubles. We decided to celebrate her misery by getting her tanked. My choice? Cuba Libre on Vermont. Why? Because they have a very…

NY/LA Throwdown #2: GUELAGUETZA →
If you live in LA you kinda have to be obnoxious about your Mexican food. You can’t just go anywhere, and you know not to spend your rent money on a good burrito. In fact, if you find the right taco…

Dog walks like a lay-day →
Gaudí and I went out for a morning stroll. And whereas I tend to strut when I walk, my dog likes to sashay. Watch out RuPaul. Gaudí’s salsa hips are ever more apparent now that…
Avatar: See it in the theater →
Tonight I did something really geeky. I went to the midnight show of Avatar, in 3D no less, at the Arclight Cinerama Dome. I was sitting next to a bunch of over-weight dudes with about a…
El Niño Dios en Glendale →
Hey everybody. This is a PESEBRE. In English, you gringos call it a “Nativity Scene” (which is a lame name, I think). Gaudí and I found it on our walk last night. It is a Christmas…

On gay marriage →
Not that anyone asked me. And most people don’t because they make assumptions about my views on gay marriage due to my being a homo and all. After NY voted down the bill, people assumed that I was…
Golden Boys- Res →
Res’ How I Do came out in 2001. Most important thing to note about this album, besides the fact that it’s fantastic, is that 90% of the songs were written by an S. White. Guess…
