What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

   GOD BLESS US...EVERY ONE

Three days away and I've barely started my Christmas shopping -- oh, the stress! I've been obviously quiet on the blogging front these past few weeks as most of my energy has been going into the magazine. But it's been fantastic. The new issue features a lengthy piece on gay activists in Iran and a little wrap-up on this year's 'outing' spree in the press. Meanwhile, I had a lovely series of interviews with New York-based photographer Joe Oppedisano. He was surprisingly open and friendly, just a incredibly-cool guy, and I can't wait for the piece to be printed.

Yes, after a tumultuous year (I changed jobs twice!), I've had a great autumn, full of friends, writing, my little dog and watching America start to wake up from its six-year nightmare. Life feels a little better for me and hopefully all of you, your friends, your family.

In A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens wrote:
"It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour."

With that in mind, happy holidays from me and the gang at -- oh dear -- Star Wars:



I could only make it about three minutes in -- it's a brilliant car wreck! Have a wonderful holiday and I'll check back in before the New Year...
