This is the first (and last post) I write from my shiny new MacBook (and let me just say, I LOVE it!).  Yep, you read it right, this is my last post.  It's been a month since my last post and in that time, I've realized that the time has come for me to give this up. Anyone that has been following my blog since this summer will know that I took a break from blogging for a while while debating if I

Saturday night I realized I am becoming more comfortable with myself as a gay man.This Saturday at boy's birthday party while talking to some people, I noticed a guy across the room from me that I recognized. At first I couldn't place where I recognized him from. After a little time I realized he is friend's with C, a female grad student in my department, who I'm not really friends with

Saturday night after the boy's birthday party, my best friend D told me I need to put a bag over my head.He wasn't saying this to be mean or to imply that I am ugly.On the contrary.He actually told me I am too cute.Guys seem to be falling all over themselves to ask me out.This is all very new and foreign to me.When I was "straight" girls never seemed to be into me.Now more guys are interested

FINALLY!!! The updated MacBooks are out! I can't wait for mine to arrive!Also, another "finally" involving the boy. Plans had been made to go to sushi last Wednesday, but he had to postpone them for a legitimate reason.We went out last night. As always my friend (the sushi chef) made AMAZING sushi and the boy loved it and was totally impressed!The "finally" came after dinner at my place

This would make me happy! It would be exactly what I need right now!It was painful for me to see Leopard released Friday and to not order my MacBook. Please let it be true!In the mean time I've begun making a list of software that I will want to put on my MacBook once I get it.For those of you that have Macs are there any suggestions for essential software that doesn't come with a Mac?I know

Ok, I need help from everyone. I have been invited to two Halloween parties on Saturday and I have no idea for a costume.Monday, I saw Aaron for the first time since we ended things. We have talked since the breakup, but this was the first time we'd seen each other in person. It really wasn't awkward at all (at least for me... he seemed fine as well). We were both attending a seminar. We

Last week Beth was gone to a conference and with the exception of a few texts I hadn't talked to her since last Friday.I stopped by her lab to ask her something and she told me how her professor is giving her tenure talk today.The following conversation ensued:Me: Ugh, I should really go to the talk, but I don't have time to go to the talk, workout, go to the grocery store and make it to your

This weekend, I felt like I went non-stop.I have had something to do every day since last Thur and I have plans for ever day up through this coming Thur (with the possibility for Friday, likely).After lunch with boy on Thur, I wasn't expecting to see him all weekend as we each seemed to have different plans for the weekend.Friday, some of my friends invited me to see a screening of the movie For

Wednesday night, boy signed online and I decided I'd say hi, seeing as he had earlier.He was pretty exhausted as school's been really busy. He asked what I like to do when I just want to veg and I said either watch The Office or clips of Lauren Cooper. He'd never heard of her, so I sent him the link to a youtube clip.After watching it, the next thing he says is "Hey, want to get lunch tomorrow

A LOT of good albums have come out this year. There were several I had been anticipating, some totally met my expectations and others were kind of disappointing. One that I can say I was really excited for and that I LOVE (just like their/his first album) is The Flying Club Cup by Beirut. I REALLY, REALLY want to see them live... REALLY!!!! Of course they aren't coming to Salt Lake.They have

I almost bought the MacBook I have been dying to get on Sunday. I was in the store, money ready... and then I found out that you can only get the larger hard drive in them online, not at the store. So with my head down I plodded back to my car empty-handed and a small piece of me dead inside.You may be wondering why I was going to buy it Sunday, when I keep saying that I am waiting until they

I haven't really posted much (read anything) since I made my return to the blogging world. Life post-breakup has been surprisingly fine. I don't feel all angsty, really, I feel more emotionally stable then in the weeks leading up to the breakup, since now there's some resolution and no more wondering.Currently my life has consisted of lab, working out, being neurotic (though less so) about food

I've been thinking a lot about the future of this blog lately. It started off as a coming out blog and for the most part I am out and the little I have left to do I'm not really stressing about.Obviously I've posted about other topics and could continue to do so, but I'm really just don't have the desire or motivation to post.I'm sure part of this comes from the fact that I used this blog as a

I'll update later about my weekend, but right now I need to be an asshole.I really dislike the people I work with. It's quite possible they dislike me just as much, I constantly have my iPod earphones in while in lab and avoid social interaction with them at all costs. If they dislike me... I'm just fine with it.I could list a plethora of reasons why I dislike them, but my current dislike for

Tuesday I come into lab to realize the experiment I setup on Friday to run over the weekend, although it ran fine, did not give me the results I expected. I won't go into the details of it but I essentially made up a method to test something in order to give me a better idea about the results. I essentially pulled this method out of my ass and it worked. I then declared myself a genius. Aaron

Tuesday night on the drive home I am feeling extremely popular. I have 3 sets of potential plans for the evening. The first set, sushi with some friends, gets pushed back to Wednesday night. I am actually happy about this as it means I now have the opportunity to go with plan #2 and it also means I will have something to do on Wednesday night as well, thus making me feel even more popular.I

This weekend I track my earphones that I ordered and see that on Friday they have reached Denver, Co. I decide that this means it is not unreasonable to expect them to arrive on Monday. I spend the day thinking about how amazing they will be. On my drive home I begin to convince myself that they will not have arrived yet so that if I get home and they are not there I will not be disappointed.

Thursday, I go to the dermatologist to get the results of my skin biopsy. The dermatologist gives me a copy of the lab report and it says in all capital letters and bold that it is ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS. As we all know if something is written in all caps and bold it means either 1) something is being yelled online or 2) this thing must be completely true. I assume the pathologist was not

Thursday night I only had half a slice of pizza. I am OK with this, half a slice isn't going to set me back. Also, I learned that it wasn't worth it. Not that I felt this incredible amount of guilt or felt like shit or anything like that, just it wasn't nearly as good as I remember it being. For the calories/carbs that it is, it's going to need to be a lot more delicious then it was for me to

Yesterday I was craving chocolate like crazy. Beth mentioned that she had a Lindor Peanut Butter Truffle in her desk and I could have it. Seeing as these are amazingly good I was tempted, but then thought, no, the reason they are so good is because they are obviously awful for you, don't succumb.

Sometimes it's good to know about drugs. What I mean by that is I've learned a lot about them (prescription, not recreational) in graduate school and as much as I loathe grad school, this knowledge can come in handy.I saw the dermatologist yesterday, explained the whole history of the issue from about 5 years ago and then over the past two weeks. It's always fun when a doctors response upon

I am so incredibly itchy right now! This is bringing back bad memories.You see, October my senior year in college, I developed this weird, red rash under both of my arms. I had just bought a new stick of deodorant, so I put two and two together and thought, "hmmm I must be allergic to something in this, maybe they changed their formula." I stopped using it and took Benadryl and used calamine

I was going through my year book trying to remember someones name for a post I want to write up soon. While doing so, I was reminded of the kid that I graduated with that later posed in the Playgirl College Edition.He's a model now. He's apparently gay and out now, as he was on some show on MTV where he went on a date with a guy and he was recently named a Genre Man for the city he currently

I am an Ass!!! A really big one!!!Wednesday night a new guy came to Wallyball. (Virtually everyone that comes to Wallyball is gay). He looked very familiar, but I couldn't place from where. After a bit of conversation, I was convinced he is the kid that works at the campus gym that my friend has a crush on.So a bit later I text said friend and tell him I am hanging out with his crush.

I nearly fell out of my chair today.My parents computer recently began acting up and will not allow them to access the internet (vie Firefox or IE), but allows them to get e-mails in Outlook. Based on what they've told me I'm pretty sure it's either a virus or some spyware that has gotten onto their computer.Neither of my parents are very computer savvy and I tried helping them over the phone,

Thank God for this:Last night, I went to my friends (RIDICULOUSLY NICE) condo to play wallyball, like every Wednesday night. I had a really good time, as always, and it started getting late, so I prepared to leave. Then my friend brought up the movie American Pyscho. He couldn't believe that his boyfriend had never seen the movie. I love this movie (just like I love Ellis' books). In the end

Some of you may have noticed that over the weekend my template went from what I had been using to a different somewhat plain one, to another blogger template and now back to this one.I really like the look of this template, but I miss the sidebar. I read a lot and although most of you don't care, I miss being able to put up what I'm reading.I also miss having my blog roll in the sidebar instead

I decided to scrap the sub par weekend post I had planned. Really all it comes down to is me being in a mood and Aaron being preoccupied with his move. Honestly can I really blame him? He's a gay man with an opportunity to decorate. Oh and I also realized that none of you really want to listen to me whine.Instead, here's a recap and we'll move on.Thursday: Aaron returned from Central Utah for

Omg! I want these! Well I want the standard size, two of them! A while back, I posted about how to make your own invisible bookshelves. The post is somewhere in the back log, but honestly I can't be bothered to find it. This weekend at Ikea I saw a shelf that I thought about getting to hang above my bed and put books on, but it comes in red (which wouldn't match) or white, which is just

While re-reading Less Than Zero this weekend and searching around on Wikipedia about Brett Easton Ellis, I became aware of the fact that one of my favorite bands, Bloc Party wrote a song inspired by Less Than Zero (a book by one of my favorite authors). Here are the lyrics: I am trying to be heroic,In an age of modernity.I am trying to be heroic,because all around me history sings.So I

This weekend has been pretty sub par (more about that in a bit). I did talk to my mom today. My entire life she's amazed me. I really take her for granted at times (for example when she tells me the same story about their priest for the 3rd time).Today though, she amazed me again. We were talking and she said that she went on amazon and bought some books for parents of gay children so she

I took Matt's advice and checked out London Preppy. Not only is this guy HOT, but his blog is really well written. He loves Brett Easton Ellis and hate Harry Potter. I like him already. He's extremely well written and funny. I love his sarcasm.I spent the past few days reading through his entire back log of posts and I found his blog completely addictive. Check it out! It's a great read!

While on vacation, I read 6 books, plus half of another one. Aaron made fun of me for packing so many books but I'd just like to point out that I was right seeing as I ended up having to buy one before I flew home.I read a lot of contemporary fiction (Sedaris, Burroughs, Perrotta, Hornby, Easton Ellis, Foster Wallace, Palahnuik, among many others). I've decided I need to read more of the 20th

I'm a bad blogger. I meant to get this up way sooner... but I'm a slacker.As you all know, I came out to my parents last Friday. As I said, it went better then I could have imagined.We were staying at a lake house in Maine for a week and I had decided I needed to tell them in person, and since I didn't want to wait until Dec (the next time I would be home and when my sister is having a baby), I

A fair amount of you may have heard the song Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez, but do many of you know that it was originally written and performed by The Knife? The Knife just re-released their album Silent Shout in a Deluxe edition. Silent Shout was one of my favorite albums of 2006 and the live CD that comes with the Deluxe edition is pretty great as well (it also comes with a DVD of the live

I am throughly disgusted! When I returned home on Monday from being back east for two weeks, I opened the door to my house and was greeted with hundreds, possibly thousands of these fuckers, dead all over the floor.It was truly disgusting! Thankfully these bugs are harmless and don't cause damage to the building, but still the only living non-human thing I am willing to share my house with is

Today was a very long day! I woke up at 5:30 Eastern time in some random hotel near the airport in Atlanta. I flew from Atlanta to SLC. I got home, unpacked, showered, took care of a few things around the house, picked up the dog, then got in the car to go see Aaron.I think I've mentioned he's currently doing a rotation a little more then an hour south of SLC in a podunk town this month. So I

I will post about my two week vacation, and coming out to the parents as well as come pics from the lake house soon (ie, hopefully tomorrow), but for now I need to shower, go pick up Hunter and then go see Aaron.

Well, I came out to my parents yesterday morning. I even did it without puking, haha. It went better then I could have expected. They were completely accepting and my mom even said 'this doesn't change anything, you are still the same person." She truly never ceases to amaze me... if I can manage to someday be half as good of a person as she is, I think I will be doing well.I'll post more

Well I said I would post about coming out to my sister on Wednesday, but needless to say, that didn't happen. I could say it's cause I've been so busy I didn't have time, but that would be a lie.

I probably won't be able to post for about a week. My vacation continues at a lake house in Maine. I'm 99% sure it doesn't have internet. I will be coming out to my parents at some point this coming week. I think I need to pick a date so that I have a definite plan and time doesn't get away from me.I have lots of books I plan on reading and I'll have the iPod. I also plan on going running, if

When I think about this month, it's with a mix of excitement and also a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.I am now back East for two weeks.

I feel so butch right now. Much like Billy, I too hate shaving. I am going back East for the next two weeks (ie vacation bitches!) and I decided the other day that I am not going to shave the entire two weeks.* It's actually going to turn into 3 weeks though, because the last time I shaved was last Friday, so I've already got a weeks worth of growth.This isn't the first time I've had a beard.

I got the soundtrack which is amazing, but I would recommend that you wait to see the movie before you get the soundtrack as the music plays such a role in the story.

As far as the conversation about Aaron moving in... so much for that being tabled. Today we were chatting online and he sent me some links from Craigslist to some different places he was looking at. I debated whether or not to bring up moving in together and decided to broach the subject.We discussed it some and ultimately decided that it's a bit too soon. He's been living at his parents for a

Ok... I imagine I am going to have a lot of angry gays after this post but I just need to say this. I think Mika is overrated!!!! He's unoriginal, derivative and really not that talented. I will give you he's cute, but for music, that doesn't cut it for me. I can probably even concede that he might be a good entertainer, but good musician, he is not.Case in point, his new song, Big Girl (You

I feel like there are multiple things I have been meaning to blog about. Let's see how many I can remember.First, I met my neighbors on Friday, the gay ones that live directly across the street. I mentioned in my Pride post that Aaron knows one of these guys. Apparently he's been friends with this guy for a long time. He came over after work on Friday and as he was getting out of the car they

I'm convinced that Steve Jobs must have some method to telepathically make me desire ALL things Apple.  Although I don't currently own a Mac (yet)... I am strongly considering getting a Macbook in October when Leopard is released.  I am a convert.... I grew using Windows & used to ardently loathe Macs.  And then I got my first iPod... sigh, it was literally a life changing event.  I remember it

I am so lazy! It's really absurd! Six+ months ago when the ex and I broke up, I decided I needed to be more healthy. I was going to change the way I eat... I was going to start exercising regularly. I was going to loose the weight I put on while she and I dated and fit back into the clothes I had when I first moved to Utah.I accomplished some of this. I changed the way I eat, I cheat more

Aaron & I went to Utah Pride Sunday, along with "other gay guy in his lab" & his fag hag*. At first I didn't want to go. I just didn't have the desire to go to it, it didn't seem that appealing. At first Aaron said he felt the same way, then he later changed his tune and said that we had to go... this was my first pride and everyone had to experience it at least once and as my boyfriend it was

Well... Aaron is on his way over, so I won't have a chance to finish the Pride post tonight. I SWEAR I will finish tomorrow morning... seriously! In the mean time check out some new blogs: Nothing Golden Stays Very cool blog, from another closeted guy. I can relate to many of the thoughts he has... ie, not coming out to the parents via phone/e-mail... is it a valid point or just a stall tactic?

Please... someone find the irony/humor in that title!  Don't tell me I'm the only one immature enough to find humor in that. I went out for guys night tonight with lawyer friend and grad school friend.  I'd hung out with them a few times since I came out to them, but this was our first guys night out at the bar & sushi since I'd come out. The night started off awkwardly as I went to buy a bottle

Watch This:and then once you've watched it... watch it again!I was talking with one of my friends yesterday who is in nursing school right now. We were discussing getting tested and how one of their profs had mentioned during the STIs section that even when you are in a monogamous relationship (gay or straight), you should wait a year before stopping using condoms. In a years time you should

Any of you that are regulars to my blog, will probably notice how drastically different it looks.  I found this template at Blogger Templates.  I really like it.  The color scheme.  The pull tab to get (some of) the stuff that used to be in the sidebar.  The single column of just posts. The downside is everything I had in the sidebar is now gone... well that's not true, some of it is hidden & can

This is the first post I am attempting to make using Windows Live Writer (based on a recommendation from Jake). We'll see how it turns out. Also, I noticed that Wordpress 2.2 can now import blogs from the New Blogger (formerly beta). I've given some thought to trying Wordpress, but don't really know if it's worth it or not. Do any of you have an opinions on Wordpress vs. Blogger? Lastly, look

My hair had become a huge crazy mop. It was beyond the shaggy look. Friday I went to get my haircut. I was debating what I wanted to do with it & finally decided I would bring a picture with me and get it cut pretty similar to this:(Just in case you are wondering... that is Jonathan Chase, from Another Gay Movie)My stylist cut it a bit shorter then that, which is OK... it'll give it some room

Well Aaron and I finally made it up to his parent's cabin this past weekend. It was really nice, but it was different then I had imagined it. I had pictured a cabin, alone in the mountains, far from any neighbors. In reality it was actually a gated community of cabins in the mountains. The cabin is on 3.5 acres of land, so it's not like we were right on top of other people. It was really

So I was sent an e-mail last week asking me to post about the FDAs decision to continue to ban gay men from donating blood, even though 1) the Red Cross says it's "medically & scientifically unwarranted" and 2) there is a shortage for blood in the country. Due to the fact that I had a busy week/weekend, I'm not getting around to it until now.First let me direct you to the N.Y. Times article.Here

Yesterday was Aaron's birthday. Being the amazing procrastinator I am, I was finishing to wrap his present as he walked in the door. Seeing as we are going out with a bunch of his friends for dinner then drinks tonight, I decided we would have a nice quiet evening in. I made him dinner and originally I had planned to make him a chocolate birthday cake, but then I remembered how much he loves

Since today is Aaron's birthday, I knew I wouldn't have time to workout later today, so I decided to do an abbreviated workout at home this morning.Whenever you sit on the floor, Hunter thinks he's a lap dog (He's an 80 lb Chocolate Lab). So this morning, I had him lay down on his dog bed and told him to stay. He did, until it was time for me to rest between sets of crunches. To him this was a

I've come up with a new goal for my life. I've decided I want to eat fugu before I die. Who knows maybe it will be what does me in, but if so, I'll still have accomplished that life goal.If anyone is interested in trying it, here's a list of restaurants in the US that are licensed to serve it.-Tim

Anyone that regularly reads my blog should know I am into music... a lot!I am the type of music lover that prefers whole albums as opposed to singles. Lately I have been latching on to certain albums and playing them repeatedly.The album The Reminder by Feist has been on heavy rotation, lately. It's a nice little indie pop record that even includes a cover of Nina Simone, which in my book makes

He is a huge movie buff & I've thought of getting him some DVDs, but I wouldn't even know where to begin.So, I'm asking advice from you, my faithful readers.Do you have any suggestions for what I should get him for his birthday?

Well the ex called last week. She wanted to "clear things up" seeing as she now knew that Aaron and I were dating. I wasn't purposefully mean, but I didn't sugarcoat anything. I told her I thought she was a pretty crappy person and that her actions were really immature and thoughtless. She told me why she hates me, which I replied with she has every right to be mad at me, but she doesn't have

Well this past weekend didn't turn out like Aaron & I had planned. We had planned to spend the night at his parents place on Friday night, since his parents were at the cabin, with his grandfather. We got some delicious pizza, got Hunter, and headed to his parents'.After Hunter explored every inch of the house and backyard, we settled in on the couch to watch Hedwig and the Angry Inch on his

Aaron recently introduced me to the work of former Poet Laurete of the U.S., Billy Collins. I'm normally not a big fan of poetry, but I really enjoy his work. It's especially good hearing him read it, his delivery & timing just adds to it. You can download here a free audiobook, The Best Cigarette and listen here to a reading at Boston College. You can also hear him on This American Life from

Some how lately I've gotten out of the habit of brushing my teeth at home in the morning. Before you get all grossed and think ewww, Tim doesn't brush his teeth in the morning anymore, I said at home.A week or so back I was running really late and so I didn't brush my teeth, knowing I have a tooth brush and toothpaste (and floss) in my desk drawer in lab. Once I got to lab I brushed my teeth.

It was a thought that crossed my mind, but honestly I think I would miss blogging even if I don't do it as often as I feel I should.Events that transpired today reminded me exactly why I started this blog...As I've mentioned

Well, I did it... I came out to lawyer friend last night & then grad school friend this morning. Lawyer friend unquestionably had the best reaction out of anyone I've told so far. I would have never in a million years predicted he would react as incredibly positively positively as he did. I'll get to that in a minute, let me start at the beginning.So as I mentioned in my last post, I knew I

I finally got to see Aaron yesterday, after not seeing him for 5 days due to his utterly insane finals schedule. Tuesday night he texted me & said he wanted to take me out to lunch, I told him he didn't have to buy me lunch, but he insisted, so who am I to turn that down? We went downtown and got these really great sandwiches on baguettes that came with a side of the best pasta salad I've ever

Is my neighborhood becoming a small gayborhood? Granted there are no clubs or shops, etc that cater to gay men, but I've recently been informed & become aware of the fact that I am not the only gay man on the block. My friend D (I think that's how I refer to him on here), apparently met one of the guys that lives two houses down, across the street. When D called me to tell me about this, I was
