If you're anything like me (and most people I know), you can't concentrate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We owe it to ourselves to get distracted every now and then, and I have all sorts of recommendations! I've got book reviews, links to some really great sites, and YouTube videos of my favorite TV/movie moments, music videos, and random idiotic fun. Enjoy! It's fast food for your brain, so it won't go to your hips!

This is the most hilarious (and kinda sad) slipup.

BOOKS: FREAK SHOW by James St. James

Um, WOW! This is the story of Billy Bloom, who's a pretty-much-gay teen drag queen who's just moved from the Liberal Wonderland of his home up North to the conservative hellhole of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Academy in South Florida. Well, calling him a drag queen doesn't really begin to describe it well enough. Even "Glitteroid" and "Gender Obscurist" don't quite do him justice. Billy hates dealing with the abuse the "Bible Belles" and "Aberzombies" are only so happy to dole out. But then there's Flip Kelly, the devastatingly beautiful, drool-inducing Football Star, who Billy's not quite sure about. This book is simply amazing! I was completely blown away by Billy's voice, which is unlike anything I've ever read. Not to mention the masterpiece outfits he creates. Like I said, unlike anything I've ever read or imagined. A total must-read.
