Yo. Dude. It has been raining up in this town. We here in San Diego are NOT made for rain. Actually we are not ready for anything other than 85 degrees and sunshine. So this rain, thunder, and junk has been CRAZY. Look, we were “rained in”! LOL. Whatevs. So this past Wednesday was a big day in spite of the weather. The big NOH8 Campaign was in town. You know, big photographer, celebs, professional photo, duct tape mouth?  YES. So of course with this going on, Richard and I were in. So we planned ahead, got out of work early and braved the weather. WE got to the very HIDDEN location in the gayborhood early enough that there was no wait. The photographer, Adam Bouska clearly adored my Richard. It was like an *eternity* till my turn. And I’ll admit, the white shirt, white backdrop, and tape scared me. I have lighting issues due to my hairline receding and all. And to put tape over my beard (the most loved change I’ve made) left me feeling insecure. So my actual photo may SUCK. I am glad I did it tho. The experience of being Professionally Photographed was amazing. Amazing. The camera, the direction, the flash. Awesome. Plus the cause and all. I hope my photo is awesome, yet I fear… anyhooo here I am just after at Urban Mo’s wondering if I need to build an ark to survive the floods..

So there we were, watching the evening news. On FOX. Not my favorite… Well, until lately. The new Weather Man is so hawt! I mean H.A.W.T. So I tuned in, even though we all know there was another Kyle before the FOX News Kyle. I clearly LOVE news. Anyhoo, so we were watching and it was time for the weather. My favorite part. Kyle Hunter. Helllooo Kyle! My Richard hates when I crush on news personalities but I can’t help it. Have you seen Kyle? Well, if not, you have to trust me. I tried to Google him but as it turns out “Kyle Hunter” is a big porn name too… LOL

So yeah. Watching the weather with my main man Kyle and he asks his question. You see, every night he has a question he asks viewers and we are to reply via Twitter to @kylehunter (natch) as to our answer and if you are right, well… you might get mentioned ON THE NEWS. Tonight my man Richard had the right answer. When do tornadoes most often occur? Apparently between 2 and 6 PM! *squeal*

Now if I could just get @KyleHunter out for a drink… Hey! Get your mind out of the gutter! I am a married-ish man (stupid laws)! He just seems like good people, and I’d love to have a friend who knew if it was going to rain… Not to mention how hot he is!

So we are sitting at the bar at Chevy’s cause we love chatting with the lady bartender. (And the traffic was murder due to the Big Game so we had rendezvoused there instead of going straight home..) So we are gabbing amongst ourselves mostly but she chimes in when she hears something to reply too. It’s casual like that. That’s why we love her. Anyhoo, so we are bitching about the weather and I say, more to her than to Richard “I just bought myself my very first designer sunglasses and it’s overcast!” She totally chortled. I know she totally got what I was saying, but in the meantime Richard said I was a dork.

Come on. You get it, right internets??

Yup. That’s what I said. Somebody has gas. It’s bad, but that’s as far as I will go into detail. Needless to say, Richard and I have mutually decided that the ‘chicken style’ taquitos that we have loved and trusted for years have changed. Or we have changed. They will no longer get into the grocery cart. It’s a bit sad, as they were one of the healthier frozen snacks that we still allowed. I cannot tolerate… no, WE cannot tolerate the physical reaction that has recently been occurring.

Anyway, outside of our digestive issues, the weekend is coming to a close. It has been fun, but I am ready to be done. I am tired yo.

This next week there is so much fun to be had! Tuesday is our day off. Back to the gym, the grocery, and all that. After work on Wednesday we are going to the Big Gay Event and seeing Pirates!! I cannot even wait. Sure it’ll be long. 168 minutes I hear, but I am excited anyway. Spidey and I get along, but I adore Jack Sparrow. Then comes the weekend. The weekend OFF. Sigh. Yeah. I hope it is hot and sultry. BBQ weather. If the weather news looks promising I will email the Idol boys and see if we can all hang out in my back yard. Or at least an afternoon at The Prado. I don’t know. I might want to just hibernate though. We’ll see.

It is late. No show notes. It’s one of those podcasts you just have to listen to for all the fun dp.com goodness!

[Okay not really.. We are still working out this podcast thing. I need to learn about sound first and foremost! Then I need to get a bit more organized. Until then I guess we can say my program is a bit of an audio journal, right? And if I weren’t skulking around with a recording device ‘after midnight only’ I might even get to involve my podcasting partner more often… So erm, yeah!]

It all started on Thursday night. I had gotten home late from a long day at work. Richard had our friend Amy over. I visited a bit, checked email, and settled in to blog about my day. Pretty normal, except when I got back to the computer my site was down! I didn’t panic though. My host is like really awesome and saves my electronic ass all the time… So I sent him an ‘FYI, Site Down’ email and watched some TV. He reported back that not to worry, all should be back up in a bit. Erm. Okay. But before I went to bed he sent this:

hey daniel, you know that power outage in eastern missouri? that’s why you’re still down.

I think i have a super old backup on a different server on the server in texas, but it’s about a month old. :/

My server is in St. Louis?? That’s where dp.com lives?? Weird. Wait! Gah! Bad news… and it kept getting worse:

I was sitting here freezing my ass off. I finally got up to close the window when I noticed it is all the way down to 75 degrees in here!

That’s when I realized how spoiled I am.. Cold at 75 degrees.. LOL! My blood sugar must be low.
