In the past couple of days I’ve read about two gay films, one new and one old, which are bound to rustle some feathers.
The first is a new film called “Another Gay Movie” from TLA Releasing and it is almost like “American Pie.” The four teen guys are just as “hormonal,” hilarious and stupid… except [...]

Talk about a pain in the…
So I finally got around to buying an external hard drive: 160GB at Best Buy for $79.99 (it was over $100 at Circuit City).
Because my old laptop didn’t have USB 2.0, it took about 3 hours to transfer my approximate 8GB My Documents folder to the hard-drive. Most of that is, of course, music and [...]
