| THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Well, as most of my counterparts are already back at school, I am savoring my last few days of summer vacation by...going in to school to get my room ready. Whoopee. I must say that I do enjoy the start of the school year. All new paper, notebooks, pencils, and doing things like handing out books, giving a new look to the old room, etc. However, the one thing that I absolutely HATE about getting my room ready for the new year is BULLETIN BOARDS. I freakin' hate putting up my bulletin boards. It is impossible to put up those LONG sheets of paper in a nice smooth line all by yourself. And I am so damn anal retentive that if there is even the slightest wrinkle in the paper, I notice, and I must fix it. Bulletin board papering can take me up to 2 hours. It's insane. And that's just getting the initial paper up. Then there is the scallopy trim that has to go around, and also, let's not forget the actual content of the board. For that, I have to laminate colored paper to contrast the board, and then go punch out the letters from the laminated paper on the letter press. Then, I must aesthetically arrange the content so that it is pleasing to the eye. I hate that I am so anal about stuff. But, I hate bulletin boards more. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:29:00 AM |

AMAZING RACE...AMAZING GUYS
 I am so psyched that these two ended up being the big winners of "The Amazing Race 4."  Even though at times Chip was incredibly annoying, these two guys did a wonderful job of showing the world just how determined, and how focused they could be, while at the same time, never once losing sight of the fact that they were partners, they were there to enjoy themselves, and above all, that they love and respect each other.
But, it is true--that Reichen was my favorite. He's just cute as a button. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 1:04:00 PM |

| BRAVO FOR BRAVO
I must say that as "The Amazing Race 4" comes to an end tonight, I was about to be both sad and worried.  I was going to be sad because the total number of shows that I watch on a MUST SEE basis was about to become ZERO. Since "Fame" ended, "The Amazing Race" was really the only other show I watched every week. I was also going to be a bit worried because it didn't seem that I was going to be able to find any other gay guys on TV that were as cute as Reichen from "The Amazing Race."
Was I ever wrong.  I just love "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." It is my new MUST SEE show. It is freakin' great. I hate being "trendy" and watching what everyone else in America is watching, but, I started watching this from day 1, and I loved it. Now all of a sudden, it's the rage, and the Fab 5 are EVERYONE'S favorite. THAT will be the one annoying thing about this show. But, that is minor compared to how much I love these guys.
Jai is the cutest little thing, and Carson makes me laugh like no one else can. I think Kyan is absolutely gorgeous, and there is also something inherently attractive about Thom--not to mention that he probably works the hardest out of the 5 since he is always doing some sort of physical labor in his quest to reinvent the living quarters. And Ted...well, I feel a sort of bond with Ted. He seems to be a lot like me. I love these guys. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 4:19:00 PM |
| HOW CAN I EVER REPAY YOU?
A huge thanks goes out to Zam for blogsitting while I was gone. She did a great job, and upon my return, in my state of delirium, reading over her posts was one of the few things that made me laugh out loud. She's a real class act, and if you haven't checked out her cute little blog, be sure to do so. And, if you're a single dude in Houston, TX, you had better get on the stick, since you're time to score with Zam is running out. You've only got about 2 more years before she turns gay. Click on the link and then scroll down to the Aug. 14th entry to see what I am talking about... ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 3:55:00 PM |
| BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Yes, it is I. I am "back." I think. I am coming around after a nasty bout of (as Zam so eloquently put it) "the Carribbean Death Bug." All I can say is I KNOW I didn't drink the water. How the hell does this stuff always seem to happen to me?!? I was the only one of the four of us to get sick. I waited 5 days before going to the doctor. Yes, stupid, I know. But, in my defense, the doc did say when I was there that these types of things are "what we call 'self-limiting', meaning that they will usually run their course and disappear on their own. But, " he added, "we can chase them away." Yes, please do. Chase away. And, so, it is now that I sit here, having come to know the wonders of Cipro™. Drugs are good, and I am on the mend. Not quite 100%, but getting there. Pictures will follow in the photo album soon. I'm back. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 3:52:00 PM |

For as hard as I tried, I fell victim to the island curse--violent diarrhea. My posts will be short and sporadic until I am back to 100%. Suffice it to say, I am still alive. Rock on, ya'll. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 1:20:00 PM |

| ADVENTURES IN BLOGSITTING
With this post, I conclude my duties as sitter to this blog. PDawg will be back tomorrow, and I request that you all join me in giving her a hearty welcome back. Thank you, and goodnight. “If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream…” ~ Puck ¶ Ξ zam Composed at 11:18:00 PM |

| STAND BY FOR TRANSMISSION...
For those of you not keeping track (shame on you) - our resident Dawg o’ the Blog has been away on vacation this week and has left me, Zam, in charge of the entertainment. Somewhere over the Caribbean satellites are linking, computers are coming to life, and fax machines are regurgitating entire reams of paper, so that I may bring to you all of the dirt on PDiddy’s island get-away. My spies report the following regarding the events of the last couple of days: - An evening at a strip club called Privates of the Caribbean - PDawg staring out to sea mumbling, “He’s out there. I can feel it.” - On a cruise around the islands, PDawg kept insisting that the captain take her to Tenille - When PDawg asked the cruise director where the lifeboat was, he pointed to a fat guy - Never stopped throwing up - Never stopped sneezing - An unfortunate incident involving a Dominican midget and some bar-b-q flavored Corn Nuts - Nightly entertainment – cockfights ¶ Ξ zam Composed at 10:22:00 PM |

| THE FRIDAY FIVE
In true PDiddy fashion, I bring you The Friday Five…on Tuesday. I have responded to these five questions as they would pertain to PDawg’s life, or how I best thought that she would answer each question. We’ll see how close I am when she returns… 1. What's the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country? The Caribbean. 2. What's the most bizarre/unusual thing that's ever happened to you while traveling? Wow…so many to choose from. My life is a virtual sitcom of bizarre and unusual events. Hmm…well, there was that one time we were all backpacking in the Swiss Alps and got caught in the blizzard. *chuckles* We panicked and ended up eating Roger’s left buttock before realizing that the snow had stopped and the storm had only lasted ten minutes. Ha ha ha…good ol’ Rog. Man, what a sport! I wonder how the little half-ass is doing these days… 3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go? 1982. 4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car? Actually, I prefer traveling by unicycle. It’s environmentally friendly and leaves both of my hands free to eat and operate a cell phone without being a detriment to other travelers. 5. What's the next place on your list to visit? That’s a no-brainer -- Ocheyedan, Iowa: ”Home of the Mound”. ¶ Ξ zam Composed at 11:00:00 PM |

| BLOGSITTER
While the proprietor of this blog is off on a Caribbean vacation (no doubt laying poolside with some sort of umbrella drink in hand as we speak), I have been left behind to blogsit. Fear not, gentle reader, for you are in good hands. Unbeknownst to said proprietor, my spies have been dispersed throughout her Caribbean resort. Disguised as bellhops, waiters, bartenders, and one fat calypso player, they are ready, at any given moment, to report on the (mis)adventures of our very own, Pdawg Q. Blogger. I’ve already received word on how the trip has gone thus far: - At the airport, Pdawg spoke loudly of having drugs and/or bombs on her person just for the cavity searches - The plane made an unscheduled stop in Colombia to pick up “supplies” - Lavish hotel lunch buffet turned out to be three bags of Doritos and a quart of Pepsi - Not only is Kathie Lee there, but also that elephant that tramples people - The locals keep mistaking Pdawg for Xena, Warrior Princess - Brochure boasted that the resort was subject of a "60 Minutes" expose - Nearly incited a riot at a cantina when she attempted to order “eggs-over-easy” in Spanish - No matter what Pdawg orders from the bar, it tastes salty - Repeatedly annoys companions by insisting they all speak pirate (arrrr…) More to come… ¶ Ξ zam Composed at 1:07:00 PM |

| THE TEARS OF A CLOWN
My one remaining reality TV addiction for the summer has been The Amazing Race. I have to admit that of the final four teams, there was not one that I disliked. As a matter of fact, I rather liked all of them and was having trouble deciding in whose corner I should be. Last night's episode almost gave me an aneurysm. My two favorite teams were both in peril. I had decided that, of the four teams, I would have to hope that David & Jeff were eliminated. Unfortunately, it quickly became obvious that that was not going to happen, as they immediately went for the Fast Forward. The race came down to the fact that my #1 team, Reichen & Chip (well, mostly Chip) screwed up big time by not reading their instructions carefully. Rather than travelling on foot, they chose to drive, and were assessed a 35 minute penalty for the infraction. If my #2 team, Jon & Al (better known as The Clowns), arrived at the pit stop before the 35 minute penalty had expired, Reichen & Chip would be eliminated. If they did not, The Clowns were done. I was a wreck. Either way, one of the two teams I was pulling for was going to be eliminated. Sadly, The Clowns did not make it. The final reflection that these two guys offered at the end of the show almost reduced me to tears. What a genuine and truly wonderful pair of guys. Jon seems to be a great husband and father, as his love for his family was quite evident. They may be clowns by profession, but by golly, they are seriously terrific men and human beings. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 12:35:00 PM |
I just read this article. THIS man is my President (as well as the rest of the country--since he is the one who actually won the popular vote). Al Gore totally ripped Dubya and his administration a new one in his speech at NYU. Apparently, it was quite a speech. I wish I could have been there to hear it. Especially the end: Gore said there was a time when he blamed Bush's advisers for the problems, but "obviously I was wrong. ... I've just about concluded that the real problem may be the president himself, and that next year we ought to fire him and get a new one." Amen, brother...Amen. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 12:12:00 PM |

| SLEDGE-O-MATIC
I know things are bad in California, what with the recall election and all. It's bad when Arnold Schwarzenegger is running for governor. It's worse when Arianna Huffington is running for governor. You've hit rock bottom when Gary Coleman throws his hat into the ring. But, when Gallagher is also running... Others who have filed with the state in order to receive campaign documents include the melon-smashing comedian Gallagher, comedian D.L. Hughley and Angelyne, a model who made herself famous in southern California by putting her picture on billboards. I can see it now: he'll whip out the Sledge-O-Matic, and just like John Henry, with one fell swoop, California will finally crack off and drop into the ocean. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 4:31:00 PM |
| YOU ARE SOOOOOO GOOD LOOKING
Why is it that every time I step out into bright sunlight, I have to sneeze? I know this happens to other people, too, but none of the "other people" seem to be members of my inner circle. My friends give me that "yeah, whatever, you wack job" look everytime we exit a store or house or whatever, and I sneeze because it is sunny. My reason for bringing this up is because I will be spending a few days in the carribbean very soon. Will I be sneezing up a storm while I am there? Will it be as if I have some bizarre allergy? I suppose not, as long as I don't keep going from sun to shade and back again. Oh well. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 3:54:00 PM |

| ALL GEMINIS TO THE RASPBERRY HATS!
Just FYI, and for your browsing pleasure, I found this nice article about my favorite member of the Scooby Gang, Alyson Hannigan. 
It's a little heavy on the "American Wedding" stuff, but there is a pretty good section on her days of "Buffydom," and some nice compliments from Joss Whedon. If you're bored (and you MUST be if you are here), give it a browse. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 1:26:00 PM |
| I HAD SOME DREAMS, THEY WERE CLOUDS IN MY COFFEE
I was reading up on some news headlines this evening when I stumbled upon this link in the entertainment section. Finally, Carly Simon is about to reveal who the subject of her song "You're So Vain" is, after 31 years... For a price. It has got to be a pain-in-the-butt to have to be asked that question over and over and over again...every interview, every time she has to promote a new album, everyone wants to trek back to 1972. She's an amazing singer and songwriter who has produced innumerable hits, and that sometimes gets overlooked. On, the other hand, THAT song (along with the Heinz 57 Ketchup ads which prominently featured her song "Anticipation") is her claim to fame. Well, the song, coupled with the mystery of to whom she is singing. At least she is going to do a little bit of good by finally revealing the identity for a hefty fee of $50,000, which she will donate to "Martha's Vineyard Community Services, which provides child care, counseling, substance abuse treatment services and visiting nurses to the community." Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC sports and NBC Olympics, said he'll never tell once Simon divulges to him the subject of her 1972 song "You're So Vain" after a private performance in about two weeks. Ebersol won the information with a $50,000 bid in a charity auction; he also gets a lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She's also being quite shrewd about the whole thing. Ebersol has to sign a confidentiality agreement. He can't tell anyone else. So, the secret remains. Possibly for another charity auction? Imagine...one by one, wealthy Americans will learn the mystery man's identity...while dining on PB & J's. The rest of us will just have to wait until the guy dies. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 12:30:00 AM |
