loooooove Dwight Yoakam. No musician's gotten away with writing great songs about assholedom as long as he has.

He's never made a great album. Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room has a killer first side and spotty second one. If There Was a Way comes closest but it's too long. This Time has all the huge radio hits, most of which are melodic and lyrical wonders but rather wooden in the rhythm dept ("A Thousand Miles From Nowhere," "Ain't That Lonely Yet").

but, really, you can't go wrong with one of his comps or one of the first five records (all cheap and easy to find).

this is my favourite yoakam song, yoakam is p indebted to buck owens in general and he says this song is specifically influenced by "tiger by the tail" the way it stops and starts

(and then later opening for Husker Du)

I like the idea of turning the sandbox gay thread into a Yoakam one.

He's an artist too; I was thinking abt how much you'd likely fancy him. We're very friendly and I'm worried it might lead to some level of tension...
― Stevie :-D, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 22:33 (twelve years ago) link
i would probably move out
― judith, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 23:27 (twelve years ago) link
But I just moved in! And he's like my new Philly gay bestie!

i said I would. it would be silly for you to.

this wasn't so much advice as daydreaming.
You should at least go in for a nice shirts-off make-out before you leave.
― Stevie :-D, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 23:52 (twelve years ago) link
But he keeps mentioning over and over how he won't date people that are shorter or significantly younger than him, sorta the way closet cases keep mentioning over and over how they're straight.
― Stevie :-D, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 23:54 (twelve years ago) link
oh is he tall?

after living with someone for six months the sexual urge seems to dwindle (at least ime)

but I've seen aforementioned roomie and he is pretty (and likes cats!)
― tanuki, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:19 (twelve years ago) link
Have you been living w your man?
I've said it before, but the best sex I ever had was in LTRs. In the first one, even after 4 years, evenings and days off were unmitigated priapism time. Like skin-abrading f-fests.
― Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:23 (twelve years ago) link
I've been sleeping over his house almost every night but not really living w him per se. And truth be told I have little desire to have sex with anyone else atm so roomie is rly nbd. Just glad I didn't move in like 6 months ago.
― Stevie :-D, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:36 (twelve years ago) link
same here — I get enough sex elsewhere that I don't feel the need to bone my roommates (which would just be weird)

how do you make that happen? school/stress/not-actually-living-together-but-may-as-well-be-given-how-often-we-see-each-other-or-sleep-over has been taking its toll.
― lexferenda, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 05:30 (twelve years ago) link
Well, we lived together and we were not very busy, so that certainly greased the skids, if you will lololaknfnsddf. But also, he had a very strong sex drive and for me, sex improves with familiarity. (I approach sex and music similarly: I don't like *new* music or romance or sex. They start to be really good after they're worn in and I'm comfortable with them. I absolutely hated the supposedly exciting thrills of new relationships.)
In the 2nd relationship it was similar, except that dude had some major baggage w/r/t sex, so things never flourished quite the same.
Anyway, for me it's like what people say about reading the Bible over and over and learning something each time.
So yeh, my advice is be me, I guess.

Unless you were asking how to get the abrasions, in which case, just ditch the lube.

Which store was the half head/half sex toys store, J?
Tonight I went to one of our city's fine woman-owned sex toy stores and bought my first grown-up adult toy. I was on the bus home with my gym bag and really, really didn't feel like going to the gym, so I made the bargain that I was either going to go to the fucking gym or buy a decent toy. It was not the most expensive one, but it still seemed $$$$, but I believe that you get what you pay for with these things. I certainly hope so, anyway.
It felt a little weird asking the cute lesbians (a couple, apparently) for assistance and information, but they were helpful and knowledgeable, despite their not having prostates (I assume).

ummm it's on belmont, it's called "igor's dungeon" (lol)
― How many days after a period? Started by Tuomas in December 2011 (v-shasty), Friday, 30 December 2011 02:03 (twelve years ago) link
oh wow
Oh god that place. I went there once years ago and the owner (he said he was, anyway) let me have it with some over the top high pressure sales. I think I went there for poppers, and he was like, "NOW THIS HERE [$$$ brand], THAT'S TOP O' THE LINE RIGHT THERE, SEE? ONLY A COUPLE BUCKS MORE AND WORTH EVERY PENNY."
I tried to get away, but he kept selling at me, even hollering across the store at me when he was ringing up (and upselling) the bachelorette party ladies. When I went near the videos, he told me about the promo he was running. At the sex toys, he asked if I had any questions, and commented "NOW THAT ONE THERE, THAT'S REAL POPULAR" whenever I let my gaze linger on an item. Same thing at the novelty items and pipes.
God, that guy.

there was a very nice woman at the counter when i was there

We're getting into town the morning of Jan 3rd and we're around until the evening of Jan 6th, so if you guys decide to do something, I can either try to talk the boy into it, or bail on him for an hour or two to grab a drink.
