marie got me wasted on a wednesday night
So in order to expand my group of 'hot' circle jerk friends, I went out to Halo last night with Marie from In Shaw and other blogs. Again, we LOVE the smoke-free environment! We had a nice chat over cosmos and mojitos and irish creme something drinks, and were even blessed by the 'boo for a short visit. We had nice chat about the dialectics of bloggers vs. their blogs, and our crazy career paths that led us to a university environment. She works at UMD too, but is pretty much on the other side of campus, so it's actually easier for us to meet up in DC.
Yesterday I went to get my annual HIV test at the campus health center. I try to go twice a year, but just haven't had the time so it's been almost a year. I didn't have much to worry about, but it was time. I still marvel at the quick test they have now, as opposed to the agonizing 6 day wait that one had to endure back inna day. That always sucked.
So I'm sitting there in the waiting room, reading the literature that was handed to me as required by some law. I know the nurse is just doing her job, but honey, I could read these back to you by heart...I've heard the dog and pony show at least once a year since 1990.
Anyhow, I notice that the 'Making Sex Safer' brochure features a woman with severely crimped early 90's hair. Like Janet Jackson 'Control' hair, but blonde. Then I look over at the 'Safer Sex Guidelines for Gay Men' brochure, also featuring people with outdated hairdos, straight out of a Cameo or Menudo music video. I turn over the brochure to read the credits, noticing that it's last update was from 1991. Hmm...thanks. Most of the information inside is correct, but no mention is made in the brochure about crystal meth and other drugs, or recent trends in barebacking. Plus there is an UGLY-ass picture of the nastiest sphincter you have ever seen. Like enough to make anyone never toss salad again. Couldn't they have featured a picture of a nice, clean, rosy sphincter?
The whole brochure kinda confrimed what I've been noticing over the past decade or so...updates in information and education about HIV and AIDS have declined, or have become completely absent. You pretty much have to do the research yourself if you want to stay informed. And I remember a time when I never had to buy a condom, as they were in each and every bar and club one could go to. These days, I have to 'gasp!' BUY condoms in the store. And lube too! Heavens to Betsy.

Circle jerk friends? Where do I sign up?

That was more than I ever drink. I'm glad I made enough sense...I think. Did I make sense?
Thinking back, I think we could have planned to just sit in front of the boob-tube watching Smallville and kicking back [insert name of drink here]. I try to catch the reruns if I miss the 1st showing just to keep up with the show. But I am glad I got to go to Halo, and see what a smokefree bar looks like. It would be neat if more establishments were smokefree. *sigh*

Marie I was so drunk on 2 cocktails I couldn't even tell if you were drunk or not. You didn't appear to teeter on your bike, and I think you put your helmet on the right way.

Since I am more of a squirter than a dribbler, I would love to do my easily translatable live prose performance piece on circle jerking. It will be titled 'Come On Eileen Ulich'

Jim, you should have went for beer after rugby practice Tuesday night. Some nice girl was handing out free packs of condoms and lube at the bar. I must have made an impression with her (or perhaps a total lack of an impression) as she handed me a pack no less than three times during the time it took me to drink two beers. But just in case, I grabbed two extra packs on my way out the door. I'm set for the next . . . damn, nevermind, these things expire.

Menudo hair is making a comeback my friend! You can sit back and enjoy the revolution if you wish, but I, myself, will fight the ugly fight.
Hopefully we can eventually get the fade back, and then re-insert caucasian-canadian-jamaican rapper Sno back into the mainstream. The time is nigh!

Whatever happened to Sno? He was like cute and all.... In Former youknblah, blah, blah (could not understand a word of it)

There's a church group that passes out condoms every weekend in the same area.

Thanks for posting the Control cover!!!
I am not sure how (probably during house moves), but I managed to loose my book :( I have the CD and case but no book - it must be here somewhere! At least know I can print a card cover at least!
