There are several reasons, but one of the main ones is that maybe now the news-media fixation on her will end. I'm especially glad that she died before the pope. Now, I'm not at all a fan of Pope John Paul II. I think he (with his whole cadre of... religion Scott 2005-04-01T07:51:38-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/bad-education-by-almodovar.php [img]/bits/BadEducation.jpg[/img][3me] Bad Education (La Mala Educación) is pretty much everything one might expect from a film by Pedro Almodóvar. There's attractive men, drug use, transsexuality, mistaken identity, some nudity, unlikely coincidences, Castellano dialog, and sex. Not necessarily in that order. But most importantly, there's an interesting human story. The story can be a little hard to follow at first.

I can identify with him a bit as well. And I even envy him. Henry Darger is the subject of In the Realms of the Unreal, a documentary whose name is taken from The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused... movies Scott 2005-03-14T23:04:54-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/40.php Enough being coy about it. Today I turned 40. I don't generally bother celebrating (or mourning) my birthdays, since - once past 21- they really don't matter for anything. But there are some that force you to pay attention to them. They usually end with a "0". Ten years ago, I played around with that milestone, telling people that I... me Scott 2005-03-11T07:37:00-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/debt-free.php It hasn't happened quite yet, but I'm about to become debt-free again. I've lived most of my life without carrying any signficant debt. I borrowed money the first time I bought a car, and I've had a credit card since my last semester in college, but I paid the car loan off as soon as I could, and except for... econ Scott 2005-03-10T08:04:43-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/naked-warnings-naked-violence.php tv Scott 2005-03-09T18:13:56-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/beef-stock.php I've been seeing this guy lately. He's kinda cute, with a sort of harmless puppy-dog scruffiness to him, letting his facial hair getty prickly and letting his dirty-blond locks go a little wild. A subtle smile and totally dreamy eyes. I first ran into him on a men-for-men dating web site. What's cool is that we seem to have a... econ Scott 2005-03-04T22:11:51-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/whose-ten-commandments.php With all the Christian legislators, judges, and busybodies trying to get the Ten Commandments of Moses into permanent public displays at places of government, I thought a review of them would be in order. After all, they're supposedly an important part of our cultural heritage and the basis of our legal code. So let's check them out one by one,... religion Scott 2005-03-03T17:26:42-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/the-irony-of-product-liability.php Today a co-worker sent me one of those ha-ha-snicker e-mails that get passed around the 'net like the sniffles. It was a list of warning labels and disclaimers found on various products, the point being to show how stupidly obvious some of them are. Things like a package of peanut brittle saying "contains nuts". Of course the real purpose of... econ Scott 2005-02-28T21:14:13-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/tourism-economy-of-last-resort.php It seems like every time community leaders and government officials talk about the future of the local economy, they talk about tourism as one of its pillars. You hear it about cities and towns of every size, state after state, and even occasionally on the national level. Around here the economy has always been based on manufacturing (furniture in this... econ Scott 2005-02-27T10:23:13-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/legal-kiddie-porn.php You hear a lot of talk about kiddie porn on the internet. It seems that every legislator on the planet is trying to eradicate it. It's the one category of material that no one on the internet permits; read the terms of service for web hosting services, and if they give specific examples of material they won't permit, child pornography... sex Scott 2005-02-26T12:51:11-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/gay-sex-in-grand-rapids.php OK, I said last week that I wasn't up for pursuing any kind of relationship, and I'd just stick to the exquisite pleasures that can be had in bed alone. But since then I've reconsidered... somewhat. I'm definitely not in the market for a husband or even a boyfriend. But as I think about it, why not take a little... sex Scott 2005-02-17T22:45:01-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/middleclass-white-suburban-punks.php There's an article in The Grand Rapids Press about some arrests today, involving a recent rash of public vandalism in several inner-city neighborhoods. You can probably picture the situation: former middle-class homes now somewhat run-down, maybe vacant... closed businesses... most of the white folks moved out a few decades ago... lots of low-income tenant and homeowners... and now the scourge... society Scott 2005-02-16T20:42:37-05:00 http://godsexboyfriend.com/archives/wireless-tv.php I've decided to switch how I watch television: I'm going wireless. Now that I have a wireless phone, and I've done some consulting work for wireless networking, I've seen the light, and I'm switching my television to wireless technology. Which is mostly just a futuristic spin to put on "I'm canceling my cable service".

An unused condom. With an expiration date of "02/96". Considering that condoms have a pretty good shelf life (at least compared to milk), it's a safe bet that this condom is a full decade old.
