It seems that everyone we know is reproducing this year. I’ve got two co-workers expecting or recently “parented”, one guy is going to have his fourth early next year and another just had his first. In addition to that, an old co-worker from NYC is about to have her first, a grad school classmate is going to have his third, some UT classmates just had their second, and one IQ couple is having their first while some other former IQ’ers just had twins. Several Cistercian<\/a> classmates are also weighing in with the Shackelfords adding twins to their family and Adrian and Amy are expecting their first.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Cistercian, I ran into James Lanyan at the gym<\/a> yesterday. He was in the class behind me and left after 8th grade, meaning that the last time I saw him was probably 1986. He recognized me thanks to the Tip-Off Classic shirt that I was wearing (which, incidentally is also from 1986, go polyester). Neither of us remembered each other’s names, I made a guess and got it wrong. Apparently, he’s been in Austin for 4 years and recently started going to my gym. Oddly enough, that’s two people from my grade school past who are members of my gym, the other being Chance Carlin from St. Paul’s who actually works there. Small world, yadda, yadda.<\/p>\n

Lastly, if you haven’t watched this show<\/a> yet, get on it. It’s absolutely hilarious. There’s nothing funnier than five catty gay men ripping apart every aspect of a slob straight guy’s life (except maybe the Daily Show<\/a>). Carson, the fashion maven, is by far the most amusing. For those of you that don’t have Bravo, NBC (the parent of Bravo) is re-running a half-hour version of the series premiere (it’s usually a one hour show) after Will and Grace tomorrow night at 8:30 central time. I guess they’re trying to ease in most of America by placing it with another gay-friendly show. There’s also a Heather Havrilesky<\/a> article<\/a> on it on Salon<\/a>. I’m not sure if it’s premium content or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
