It's grey in Belfast this morning, which is slightly discouraging as yesterday was so sunny and uplifting. But as ever there are websites out there to ensure that your average online experience is never grey. For a start, The Cannes Film Festival has just screened Nine Songs, a film by Michael Winterbottom, which features real sex. Not simulated. With a cumshot too. I want to see it. It hasn't got a certificate here yet, but I'd be obliged if the censors would leave it uncut. Come, don't go.
Then we have the news (well, it's newsworthy to me) that Silbury Hill, a pre-Roman manmade mound in Wiltshire, is hopefully going to be classified as a building rather than protected land, to protect it against increased rambling rights. It's close to West Kennet Long Barrow, which I've also visited twice. They were clever people, those comparatively early land-dwellers.
Now we come (pun certainly applicable) to the superb Honeytom, the blog of a young man who I know, slightly, although not yet in person. He has a wonderful ability to create jaunty readable prose, and although that challenge is easily achieved by many, few can achieve it while blogging exclusively about gay stuff, as Honeytom does. Today there's a post about a slew of hot actors, including the very very gay Elijah Wood (who as a kid actor snogged Christina Ricci in Ang Lee's superb The Ice Storm) and, even better, the previously-unknown-to-me Tom Lenk. You'll have to scroll down Honeytom's post to see him, but grrrrRRRRRRrrrowl, he's worth it.
And finally, as an antidote to all that gay stuff, but still remaining within the gay meme, here's a page called Medical Consequences of what Homosexuals Do. I hate the word 'homosexual' as it's so puritanically Victorian but it never fails to make me grin when I see it on the website of an anti-gay group, especially when there are choice sentences like
Smokers and drug addicts don't live as long as non-smokers or non-addicts, so we consider smoking and narcotics abuse harmful. The typical life-span of homosexuals suggests that their activities are more destructive than smoking and as dangerous as drugsin there. MetaFilter, which supplied the link, mulls it over here, and The Boston Globe has an excellent links list all about gay
