Margaret Cho played the Wiltern in Los Angeles' Korea Town this past Friday and Saturday night to huge crowds of gays and Asians. She was on her game! I laughed my ass off. She was hilarious and biting in her political commentary, a nice mix from her recent past shows.

Well that was certainly my weekend. You see... for a while I have become, as my roommate Mandel, describes it, "The Sacheen Littlefeather" of Disney. Since accepting my new position here, I have been asked to go and accept awards given on behalf of the many different guilds and associations of various causes.

And we celebrated our third annual "Ted Larry and Mandel's Holiday Special." This year, unlike in the past, our special came pre-recorded and light up the living room with the warm glow of television specials past. The special started with a vintage commercial for Sunkist juice boxes, followed by the announcement that Archie Bunker's Place would not be seen Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08609944579940349753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075967.post-1101943564919605152004-12-01T15:25:00.000-08:002004-12-01T15:26:04.920-08:00If there truly is such a thing as hollywood royalty...

Christie is always saying... "Ted gets things because he tries." I think she says it lovingly, but sometimes it sounds like it's deprecating. But it's Christie. So who cares?! ;-) About a month ago we went to an event at the LA Gay and Lesbian center called the Mis Match Game. One of the delightful stagings from Dennis Hensley.

I've always considered myself a concerned citizen. Political? Probably not. But definitely concerned. When W. Was elected in 2000, I felt it expected. Clinton had pulled the liberal pendulum to the left, and the law of gravity would dictate that pendulum to naturally swing just as far to the right on it's initial release before it will eventually remain still in the center.

I have not had five minutes to update in over a month. So I'm making it a priority today to write an intriguing update of a months worth of events.... and keep it short enough not to bore anyone.
I guess formost is the update on my animated series.

On Monday, September 6th, 1983, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe aired on WTVI Channel 29 in Philadelphia PA. I was 8 years old. Thanks for 20 years of the Most Powerful Man in the Universe!!!

So... when someone says they have no self esteem… what does that mean? The dictionary defines esteem as “to set a high value on: regard highly and prize accordingly.” But what do we compare to when setting that value, the merit of others? Growing up an only child, and the only male in a neighborhood full of girls, I was dotted on and praised left and right.

Ok... so after winning my dough on the Weakest Link... I spent a good chunk of that zapping away the unsightly hair on the top of my shoulders and upper arms. Because... well... it's GROSS! But, dear lord... nothing could have prepared me for the pain. I described at taking a ten gauge needle and jabbing it into each and every pore. Over and over again.

Ok... so something occurred to me. This so called daily journal has become less of me celebrating the moments of my celestial Seasonings life, and more into monthly orations about movies and ideas. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. But I'd spend time writing, re-writing, checking my spelling, punctuation and grammar... and I realized...

So this time last week, I (and millions of other sci-fi, horror, fantasy, action, animation freaks) descended upon the unsuspecting hamlet of San Diego California for the annual International Comic Con. This is the biggest gathering of Industry, Independent creators, fans, and dealers who all love the comic genre.

YO HO HO! ( A Spoiler–free review)
Ok... when a movie like this comes along… one I can’t stop talking about… I kind of want to herd all my friends into a theater and make them watch it immediately. Walt Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the best things to come out of the mouse house in YEARS.

Few things on this planet bring straight men and gay men together. A good martini is probably one of them, Cher is possibly another, and then… there’s Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. From the get go, CAFT is an action packed T & A extravaganza with lush sets, fabulous costumes and musical numbers, Peter Allen would be jealous of!

Twenty eight years ago, almost 6 months away from Christmas, an amazing gift was bestowed upon a woman named Gerri, and her husband named Ed. Yes... a tiny bundle of joy... that they so unimaginatively named... Edward. The birth of this angelic creature also fell upon the couple's 6th wedding anniversary, and they woman's 25th birthday.

If ever the CIA needed proof of the existence of a "Gay Mafia" they need look no further than Radio City Music Hall last night. As the 57th Annual Tony Awards sauntered through CBS's airwaves, I was caught up in a gay typhoon of emotions. The opening sequence interviewing New Yorkers for their opinions struck a nerve. I remember fondly hopping a hound early in the Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08609944579940349753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075967.post-953448662003-06-05T15:01:00.000-07:002003-06-05T15:01:38.000-07:00"Swirling Pool of Agitation"
So this week has slowly been bringing more and more nerve wracking thoughts into my head. It's no secret that I'm not a flag waving, rainbow wearing, Streisand singing, Pride-marching homo. In fact, I'm kind of the opposite. But I do get angry and offended when people assume that I'm not pro-gay. I don't know if anyone's heard about the Family Policy Network's Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08609944579940349753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075967.post-947160092003-05-21T19:30:00.000-07:002003-05-21T19:30:13.846-07:00This BITES!
It really doesn't take much to make me cry. Dumbo's mom cradling him, CC Bloom singing to Hillary Whitney on her death bed, Daniel LaRusso getting back on his feet for that final kick to win the karate tournament... I'm usually sobbing like a kitten. So when last night's Buffy finale failed to pull tear-one from me.. I kinda felt a bit let down.

Is there a Spoon? Is there a Computer? Did I know I was just going to type that? Am I typing? Do I know what I'm going to type next? YES I DO!!!

Last night was my third year participating in Disney's Minnie's Moonlit Madness park-wide scavenger hunt. If you're not familiar with Moonlit Madness (and really... why would you be?) it is an annual event held in the Anaheim parks, after dark, wherein teams of 4 (2 cast members - 2 "regular people") traverse the terrain (tied together) to decipher clues and perform physical Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08609944579940349753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075967.post-937541452003-05-04T11:08:00.000-07:002003-05-04T11:17:27.000-07:00X-Cellent!
So the first BIG movie "event" of the summer was released Friday... The Lizzie McGuire Movie! Just kidding, though I suppose for some tweens, that could be the movie they've been waiting for. But for me, Larry, Mandel, Mike and Christopher, and a gazillion other people in Hollywood... it was X2- X-Men United (as Fox is insisting it should be called).

What the hell is happening!?!??! There is not one, NOT ONE Good reason that Joshua Gracin is still a contender for the title of American Idol.

Yes that began my weekend. On Thursday night, Me, Larry, Mandel, Nathan, Matthew, Jess, Ken, and Mike ventured to West Hollywood for nothing less than GAY BINGO! you heard me right...

As I work this morning with the TV on behind me... I listen to this term with perplexity and intrigue. Is it some Middle Eastern festival that our military force is interrupting?
