Sloth

I’ve added something else to this site — now you can read all about me. There’s a link in the sidebar to it as well.

Tonight I was a sloth and watched TV. I had a dilemma between 8:00 and 9:00, as I wanted to watch “Survivor” on CBS at 8:00 but also wanted to catch the 20 minutes of live sketches done by the cast of Saturday Night Live on NBC at 8:40. So I wound up flipping between them both. I saw Kel (good-looking military intelligence officer) get voted off the continent of Australia, and I saw Darrell Hammond impersonate Bill Clinton. When doing Clinton, Darrell Hammond can make the crowd titter with anticipation just by sitting in an armchair without even opening his mouth. Then he says, in hoarse, charming, laid-back Clintonese, with a grin on his face, “Good evening.” And the crowd bursts into laughter. After two words. He’s so good.

Tomorrow night I’m going to a cocktail party hosted by a member of my alma mater’s gay alumni group. It should be fun. Those of us in New York get together about once a month for some social event. Everyone seems to wind up living in New York City… this place is the center of the universe. Even my 10th anniversary high school reunion is going to be held in New York. And my high school was in Tokyo, Japan. See? Everyone comes here.

And on Saturday night, I’m having sex.
