I’m sooo excited about tonight! Well, to be fair, I get excited and giggly every time I know there’s an Ugly Betty episode coming up. How will Betty crash the wedding? What vile repartee will Wilhelmina, Mark, and Amanda banter about? How will Betty handle the anguish of dating Henry? It’s the telenovella without the Spanish! And totally gay! And authentic!

The last episode brought up some memories that I had wanted to write down. Last month, I joined my BF’s gay flag football tournament in New York. I made it clear that I was only “on the team” to accomplish a sole purpose, i.e. totally slut it up and attend a musical every day (3 days). Mission accomplished (I got in the film The Good Night as well). So, I saw Avenue Q (Friday evening), The Drowsy Chaperone (Saturday matinee), and The Color Purple (Sunday matinee). Collectively, it was one of the most succulent, wonderful things this poor little Midwestern homo could do. More on each soon…
