It's raining again.... But such fine rain it is. Suddenly Dumaguete looks exactly like the memory I have of it when I was a kid, and I used to go to my grade school quite early in the morning (a full two hours before flag ceremony, which meant going to school when there was still barely any daylight out -- on account of having been accused by some of my teachers of "chronic tardiness," so of course I had to show them that I could wake up early if I really wanted to -- and I did, for about three months, only to have my teachers calling my mother in once more, telling her that, this time, they were worried that I was coming to school too early): It is a misty, foggy day... a little cold, with a bit of drizzle, the scent and leaves of the acacia trees hanging and floating about in a kind of sepia slow motion. So very New England, what Dumaguete has not been for the past few years.



I should be back blogging in a week or so. Work mushrooms and I don't even know where exactly to begin.



And it doesn't help that despite my busy schedule (we just had our presentation of The Vagina Monologues last night), I am doing a marathon of the second and third seasons of Queer as Folk, no thanks to Beadle-Doodles, who also gave me a copy of Bishonen (see screendancing) during his brief visit back to Dumaguete.



What can one flesh-and-blood guy do when he's presented with this....





Or this...





Or this?





Nothing, but to surrender to the dictates of... um, studying the, ehem, Semiotics of Desire in Popular Television and Film.
