continuity/intimacy
Let me put on my hack blogger hat for a moment. There was a major continuity problem in lastnight's episode of Studio 60. In "Nevada Day Part I" several members of the show and the network fly on the company jet to Nevada. The exterior shot is (I think) a Falcon business jet... a beautiful small plane. The interior shots don't match--the width of the cabin suggests a much larger commercial passenger airliner.
Poor set choice, people. Awesome episode otherwise!

On yesterday's post about my AWOL weekend date, St. Dickeybird commented, " How can you be fending for yourself on a Saturday?" and listed some popular avenues of hook-up, including the Internet.
I think the Internet is part of the problem. When I look back at my experience, the most common result of meeting someone on the Internet is a quick fuck. I don't usually find fault with that, but when someone comes along with "BF Material" stamped on their forehead, can I be blamed for thinking about a second date? Perhaps. Silly faggot... tricks are for dick!
I know others have landed relationships from the web, but any of my past relationships originated in the non-cyber here-and-now.
Maybe I'm not built for the Internet. I can be a bit shy in person--so meeting someone online gives me courage. And although I don't think that I have intimacy issues, I think the online dating/hook-up world attracts more than its fair share of people who do.
And I usually end up meeting them.

Basically, I decided that any quick hook-up would NOT be relationship material, unless something really amazing happened. Potential B/Gf's didn't get laid right away...
as usual.

These are tough issues you post. I don't have any answers. If you find some, let me know.
Ice cream also works.
I hate to say this, but YJA is right on the money here. I concur.
Never underestimate joining something like a soccer team or art classes. You will already have a common point and something to start a conversation.
At the minimum -- what about gay church? The gym!!!
Gay internet life scares me. I'm a-scared for my gay friends. Is it just me? I wuv you guys.
Try Nerve.com, or some other, less gentrified site.
I wish I didn't hate sports. The team thing seems a great way to go.
AG: I met my last b.f. at the gym. (Swimming pool, to be exact.)
