little. yellow. different. A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

akeelah and the butt

So, I have this friend; we’ll call him B, for now. He wears designer jeans and works at the front-desk of a gay gym, yet somehow we get along swimmingly.

B: (on the phone with me) So I’m hanging out at [my ex-boyfriends house] and…
Ernie: Wait, what? You’re talking […]

the invisible man

(The scene: on the car ride home with my friend Royce. We were at a bear bar earlier.)

Ernie: …man, events like these are cool because I know people, but sometimes it’s frustrating, you know? Like, I go to these things and I’m totally the invisible man.
Royce: Bullshit. People were […]

the gay bloggies

So, a co-worker tipped me off that I’ve been nominated for the 2006 Gay Bloggies, created by totally not-safe-for-work gay adult site Queerclick. The inspiration comes from the mainstream Bloggies awards, except for a couple of differences:

All Blog award nominees must be gay men, and “Bloggers must be able to prove (!!) their […]

mothers, hide your gay children’s cabbage patch dolls

(The scene: A gay Halloween party. Richard is dressed as a zombie in a night robe holding a Cabbage Patch doll.)
Adam: What? No teddy bear?
Richard: This is Joey. Joey’s my childhood buddy - he’s my bestest friend in the whole wide world! (Hands Joey to Adam)
Adam: Hmmm… […]

Pouring Myself A Tall, Cool Glass of Hateraide

And not to be a big haterator in this dancerie, but the webpage for last night’s said event could really use… uhm… some work. Warning: Not pornographic, but not work-safe, either. Not like you’d really get turned on by soft-core thumbnail images in the improper aspect ratio, anyway.†
For those of you that […]

Obvious Songs to Play At Gay Hip-Hop Joints

“No More Drama” by Mary J. Blige: You would think this one would be obvious, right?

Club Queen: (walking up to the DJ Booth) I know you’re gonna play No More Drama.
DJ: Sorry, I forgot to bring it.
CQ: Oh, HELL naw! What kind of gay DJ doesn’t bring No More […]

The Thing About Dating, Part 2

(Hmmm. Let’s see how much I can write about him without actually writing about him.)
He’s been insisting on paying for every single dinner we’ve gone out for. All of them. Even when I insist on paying for it, he talks the waitress into giving back my credit card and replacing it with […]

The Thing About Dating, Part 1

So, I’ve been dating someone for maybe a month or two by now. It’s weird.
It’s weird, because the last guy I had anything close to a romantic relationship with was when I was nineteen, and I’m currently 26. For all purposes, he was my boyfriend, and that was that, and we were automatically […]

Like Sex in the City, Only Gayer. Like That’s Saying Much.

Philo and Choire are back in business, updating their weblog into a magazine format. Good for them.
Now that I think about it, more and more people are expanding their personal websites into a more general format, maybe as a way to challenge themselves creatively. Maybe people are doing more “magazine stuff” because the […]

Who would bottom?

Go Ank, with the worldly hypothetical questions:

Question: If Spiderman and Batman were lovers, who would be the “quarterback” and who would be the “receiver”?

Answer: Batman would be the quarterback. Spiderman would be the receiver.

It’s true, you know. Now, how about this: Who would be the bottom: Aquaman or Batman? (Let’s assume, […]
