This myspace page still gets thousands of views per week so I thought I'd link up my twitter feed.  I post regularly to twitter and have fifteen whole followers. It's the ultimate lazy blogging, I love it.

Follow me for the latest scoop on my projects or if you just want TMI about about my bizarre little life. I promise to limit to toilet, eating, and sleeping updates.

I'll soon be tweeting details on how to submit for casting for EATING OUT 3: ALL YOU CAN EAT and a brand new show I'm creating.

I can hardly bring myself to login to myspace anymore. I suppose that’s obvious from the date of my last entry. August?! Back in the Bush years?! Everything takes forever to load on here. The layout is terrible. And there is just too much damned spam.

Most of my inbox messages read "Wassup?" or "Wanna shoot a load on me?" It takes hours to jump through myspace's sucky navigational hoops to find the few gems from real people. And then I'm lucky if my response even goes through on the first three tries.

When I migrated over to facebook during my six-month stint/sentence in Canada, I left this account sort of festering here like a forgotten sore that one really should get checked out by a doctor. I kept telling myself I might come back and update everything ... But after months of guilt trips from friends and strangers, my mom has finally convinced me to post some sort of good-bye.

So long myspace! It was cute while it lasted! I will leave this account and blog here as a sort of signpost for the curious.

What's happened since August? I finally left Canada and came back to LA. RICK & STEVE season 2 premiered and is airing in more than a dozen countries. NOAH'S ARC: JUMPING THE BROOM was released and kicked box office ass. I finished writing EATING OUT 3. I'm still single. I voted for Barack Obama. I protested against Prop 8. I bought myself a waffle iron for Christmas and started making Belgian waffles. I have a bunch more projects in the pipeline and I'm eager to see which one will squirt out first.

Please visit the RICK & STEVE site at www.happiestgaycouple.com for RICK & STEVE updates. Let them know you want a Season 3! The Season 2 finale airs on Tuesday. Since Logo is not Nielsen rated, this is really the only way they know how popular the show is, this and iTunes and DVD sales. The DVD comes out March 3!

You can find me on facebook where I don’t keep a blog but I do those one-line status update thingies pretty regularly and post pictures as I take them. I find it much more fun and interactive than blogging, so that’s what I’ll be doing until the next great thing comes along -- or until I get a boyfriend.

I hope to see you all there. I love you and miss you. Thank you for reading my 500 or so blog entries on here. It has truly been a pleasure!

A couple weeks ago was Montreal Pride. I suppose it's always pride somewhere in the world. Except Iran. It was a three-day weekend here in Toronto (the blandly named "Civic Holiday") so I decided to take a trip up and see how they gitchie gitchie their ya-ya's up there.

I'd been to Montreal once before, but it was winter, so I was excited to experience their legendary beautiful summer weather. Unfortunately, it rained all weekend.

It's a little late, but here are the pics.


My friends Sid and Neville and I took the train. It's a 5 1/2 hour ride. It'd be sort of beautiful if it wasn't so boring.


The view from my hotel room. It was perfect. I centrally located to of all the chaos. In the lower right you can see a full-on dance party underway.


It's weird to see French everywhere. I have no idea what this means.


There are a lot of hot boys in Montreal. And they sound all French-ish.


Even the porn in Canada is all about equality.


Faster and more comfortable than flying actual Air Canada.


More French. Six years of studying French gets you nowhere when they bring on the Quebecois.


The rain came and went, but the naked boys stayed.


The performances continued in the rain.


Disco cover band.


Dancing in the rain.


From my hotel room.


Dancing queens.


Just when it couldn't get any more Woodstock...


...It started raining some more.


Hunky beer men walked around keeping everyone nice and drunk.


This family was dancing in their with their baby. I thought it was quite cute.


Hot and wet.


At least her baggage is physical. Sigh.


Random meat.


This was kind of cool. I know people from all these films! Um, and I made two of them. It's still weird to see something I made when I'm in some random part of the world.


I wanted to eat at Pizza Madonna, but it looked really sketchy. Big surprise. Besides, pizza's the last thing you wanna eat before dancing with your shirt off.


I ran into my buddy, author and movie star, Jesse Archer (left) and his bf Bambam. He was there in the official Playgirl van doing something official. I forget what. He's life is so random and he's been EVERYWHERE. I want to come back as Jesse in my next life.


Fierce.

I have to admit, Canada isn't just about the adrenaline rush of public libraries and jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes the weather isn't putrid and I can do less exciting things, like go to the gay clothing optional beach.

Wait. A nude beach? In Canada?! Yep, a nude beach in Canada. It's on one of those great lakes. I should probably know which lake I'm on, but I'm too lazy to Google it. See, I've been obsessed with learning the names of world leaders--useless trivia that will constantly be outdated, but I'm saving my brain cells for this anyway. I mean, I don't want to look like an idiot if I run into Dame Pearlette Louisy on the street.

Back to the beach. There was a sunny day a week and a half ago and I went with some friends to a beach barbecue. None of us opted to go without clothing. I guess that makes us spineless losers.

I'd say only about 5% of the beachgoers were nekkid. And of that 5%, I'd say the ones you'd pay to see nude are about 0%. But it's not all about sunburnt penises and sandy vaginas, it's about enjoying the few moments of sun and 30 degree weather (that's Canadian degrees).

Here's some pics.



What's a nude beach without wieners.


Photo of a group photo.


My buddy Steve.


They're just roommates.


Seth and Aaron.


There are some blue spots between the clouds. I explained that in California, we call that "sky." Sometimes we get it between our smogs.


Kelly.


Sid, cruising like a prairie dog.


He's always dancing.


Always.


Some hot guy.


This picture says it all. Bare ass. Hot boy. Parasailor. Baby carriage. Alcohol.


Gay gay gay. Love it.


Took this picture of Steve just to get the basket on the right.


Okay, so I don't remember everyone's names, but I was doing pretty good so far.


Still drawing a blank, but dude, you were really funny and cool.


Like any of you need tans.


Kelly's self pic.


Vance and Kelly.


I have like a thousand of these, camera hogs, these are the two best.


That's me in the middle between Adam, who hosted the bbq, and Sid. This is why I usually hold up the camera and take self pics. Then I know I will actually show up in them. I had a smaller suit on under those shorts, but this was me about to leave.


You have to ride with a ferry fully of gays (insert pun here) out to the beach and back.

I'm still in Toronto, working on season 2 of RICK & STEVE. I thought I'd share a little of my life here. I live above this place. Well almost, I'm in the next building over. I haven't eaten at The Spotted Dick yet, but I haven't found the right person to eat there with.


Unisex Ho's Place. My favorite name for a barber shop ever.


The Toronto Public Library is a block from me. I heard a little boy and his mother arguing over whether it houses 2 million or 6 million books. I think the boy was right. I come here to write. I can feel the knowledge emanating from the stacks. I stragically move around every two hours to get inspiration from different sections.


When I need a break from working, the last thing I want to do is look at a screen or read. And doing physical stuff doesn't really count as "a break." So I wind up doing weird things. I got it in my head that I needed to put together a puzzle. I picked out 1,000 piece jigsaw of the Sistine Chapel.


The first two pieces.


Edges first, right?


I made myself do it without looking at the box. To develop whatever skill that helps you develop. You never know, I might need to use that skill some day.


There sure are a lot of penises on the Sistine Chapel. When I read the bible, I didn't really picture everyone with their penises hanging out. But they're very very small penises, so I guess it's still religious.


It really does clear my mind. I've been particularly stressed out lately.


Almost there.


Now what. I've got this lame looking puzzle sitting on my dining room table. My first instinct is to immediately break it up and start putting it together again. But that would be a useless waste of time! I tell myself. Then I think, more of a useless waste of time than doing it the first time was?


Oh, and here it is. A bag of milk. That's how they sell it in Canada. You have to open it with scissors or a knife or whatever. My life is exciting, huh? How's yours?

Happy 4th of July everyone. I'm still up here in Toronto, where we celebrated Canada Day on Tuesday--it's like the 4th only Canadian, totally cute. Since it was a Tuesday, that meant a 4-day weekend, during which GAY PRIDE, just happened to fall.

Pride here is HUGE. The only bigger one I've seen is San Francisco. Luckily the parade marches right past my window, so I have a pretty good view, albeit from 16 stories up.



It started with the traditional Dykes on Bikes.


It doesn't look that crowded from here, but either side of the street is 6-7 people deep... and this goes for at least a mile. Note how even this crowd is organized. Canadians are polite that way.


Gay people doing everyday things is a theme in all parades. Gays who are lawyers, gays who sell real estate, gays who collect garbage. Here are some gays who ride bicycles.


A gay cowboy.


Apparently upset with the media.


Lots of shirtless hunky boys with banners.


Lots of boys in dresses.


Hot Trojans.


So check out my totally hot neighbor on the right. Droool. Six floors down in the next building over. I'm stalking him. We are going to meet and fall in love.


Let's get in closer.


Shit! Caught! Actually I don't even really know what his face looks like. If I ran into him on the street I probably wouldn't know him.


Gays on scooters.


Gays who enjoy the sun.


So apparently the two shirtless dudes in front caused some sort of incident and are being arrested. The cops chased them, grabbed them and the parade stopped momentarily. It was all very dramatic.


Since there were barriers on either side of the street, they actually had to march in the parade while under arrest to the next street down.


I call them Neverland Ranch trains. I don't know what they're for, but they're in every parade.


Here's the view from my other window.


It's a very long flag.


I went down to the street level once I was nice and drunk.


Avenue Q was all over the place.


People climbed on top of anything to get a good view.


It looks so much more crowded when you're down in it.


They lined the tops of buildings.


The parade marches right past Tom Cruise's church.


I see you peeking, Scientologists! And so does Xenu.


Eat your heart out Scientologists!


Eat your heart out Jesse Helms!


This is about two hours into the fucking thing.


Afterwards, all these people went to Church street and looked and booths, bought funny hats and funnel cakes and drank and drank and drank.


Even here in Canada Obama's popular.


Wait, that's the Jerey Boys guy with a repaint.


Until next time. Happy 4th!

Last night I went to Cyndi Lauper's TRUE COLORS concert. It's a big gay-o-palooza type event to promote marriage equality and queer visibility. I know what you're thinking What?! Cyndi wasn't in LA last night! That's right... I'm in Toronto. I'm here shooting RICK & STEVE season 2. It's a LOT of work.

Canada is exactly as I remembered it from the first season, only wetter and more expensive. Some things suck: they don't have iPhones, you walk around with pockets full of change, and you have to buy milk in plastic bags. But other things rule: people are polite and they ALREADY have real gay marriage here--if only I had me a Canadian to gay marry.


The Indigo Girls.


The B-52's. I saw them in concert nearly (ahem) 20 years ago. They were just as fun.


Love Shack.


Look at all the Canadians. Everyone is so polite.


Cyndi opened with "Change of Heart." An odd choice. The set altogether seemed rather random. I was most excited about "When U Were Mine." But honestly, I could listen to her sing anything and LOVE it.


Rosie O'Donnell warmed up the audience between sets--but during "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" Rosie played the drums. Cyndi kept getting her name wrong, calling her Rosie O'DONALD. I love that.


Cyndi played a few instruments.


It ended a la Saturday Night Live where everyone who performed comes out on to the stage and thanks the audience for being so gay.


Totally SNL. Rosie and Cyndi on opposite ends. That's Carson Kressley next to Cyndi.


I got to meet Cyndi before the show and get a photo. I'm even more worn out than I look.

You know you've made it when you get featured in exciting articles with names like "Celebrity masturbation confessions!" (exclamation point theirs). It's National Masturbation Month and gay.com has an article featuring myself and some actual celebrities answering personal questions about masturbation.

Here are my answers. Also giving out masturbation secrets are Kathy Griffin, Ant, Reichen, Jane Lynch, Michael Musto, and Ari Gold (yum).

Coincidentally, it is ALSO National Stroke Month. The bad kind of stroke. I wonder if the month-naming people realized this when picking a month for National Masturbation Month.

It's also Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, Foster Care Month, Military Appreciation Month, National Bike Month, Arthritis Month, National BBQ Month, American Wetlands Month, Hamburger Month, Physical Fitness Month, Electrical Safety Month, Historic Preservation Month, National Chocolate Chip Month... gross it all starts sounding masturbation-related.

The picture above is from the Manila premiere of EATING OUT three years ago. It was banned by the censor board until literally the day of the screening. Now if we can just get RICK & STEVE on the air over there... heck, the lead is Filipino.

Look who I ran into at the airport. I didn't know it was him at first. I came into the Air Canada first class lounge and the only seat available is next to this totally hot guy whose face is buried in a magazine. I happily take the seat next to him, pull out a book and (try to) read. Then I notice the tattoo on his wrist... Wait, is that?

I duck my eyes to get a better look at his face. OMG! It's Mr. David Beckham. I remember passing the rest of the soccer team downstairs and make the connection. I secretly send a group text to a bunch of friends at once: OMG! I'm sitting next to David Beckham!

I put my phone away and steal another glance. He's still buried in the magazine. All of his clothes look brand new and he has such smooth lickable skin. Stop it! I try to read again.

Then the texts start coming back. Every few seconds my phone starts vibrating. "Kiss him!" "Hot! Sneak a pic! Or try to blow him!" "Get an autograph!" "Tell him I'm pregnant and it's his!" "Touch him!" "Is Posh there?"

Eventually I ask him for a picture and he happily obliges. I feel something vibrate in my pants as we smile for the pic. It's another text message: "I hate you, bitch!"

Damn, he's hot.

His flight is boarding now and I'm still here. Take me with you!

The Spanish "Gayo Awards" were recently announced. These are awards for LGBT themed film and TV in Spain. BOY CULTURE was nominated for 5 awards and won two! We won for BEST DIRECTOR (ohmygosh that's me!) and BEST ACTOR (Mr. Derek Magyar).

I hadn't heard of these until awards we won them. But now they're my new absolute favorites! Gay Spanish Oscars?! How fucking sexy is that? And they look like cocks. The crowing kind.

The big winner for Best Picture went to ANOTHER GAY MOVIE... alas, we weren't even nominated in that category, but congratulations to the AGM boys, they're good friends! Best Actress went to Dame Judi Dench for NOTES ON A SCANDAL so Derek is in pretty good company.

The other three nominations we got were for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR (Darryl Stephens), BEST ENSEMBLE CAST, and BEST COUPLE (Derek Magyar and Darryl Stephens). Congratulations to my wonderful fabulous cast! Spain loves you!

Speaking of gay TV. OMG. Anyone watch GOSSIP GIRL? I'm so glad there's a gay on it now. Not that it's a big surprise. From his very first episode I've been calling Eric "that Matthew Shepard kid" because they look so similar.

GLAAD is the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Each year they give out awards to people and projects in the media that are Against the Defamation of gays, or to put a positive spin on it, For the Famation of gays. This is their 19th year of doing so.

Last night was the Los Angeles leg of the Awards Ceremony. Apparently there's like four of 'em. I don't know about the others, but this leg was exhausting. 7 hours of open bars, fundraising, auctions, dinner, photo-ops, and yes, a few awards.

It was the hottest day of the year so far. Ideal for wearing a black suit. Boy, did I stink by the end, but the free vodka numbed my sense of smell.

Whenever I wear a suit, I feel like I'm going to a prom or funeral or something equally comforting. Because I felt so nerdy, I decided I might as well wear my glasses. They're so UGLY BETTY. I RARELY do this, but tonight I wanted to look more like a writer. It worked. Some of my friends didn't even recognize me. How fucked up is that?

Glasses can be really cool, but if they get just a little crooked in a picture, you look like a drooling idiot.


Kathy Griffin kicked off the ceremony by bringing her mom on stage. She asked her to point out the gayest looking person in the audience. Her mom quipped, "Is Ryan Seacrest here?"


Wilson Cruz got a very big award from GLAAD a couple weeks ago. Next week he's coming into the studio to reprise his role as Evan on RICK & STEVE season 2.


With Adam Bouska and Jeff.


It's Jesse Brune from WORK OUT. We went to school together and he starred in my thesis film ROBERTA LOVED.


PROJECT RUNWAY'S Rami.


During the ceremony and dinner I sat with Craig Chester and Nicol Paone.


DEGRASSI's Adamo Ruggerio easily got the loudest screams from the audience. The ceremony was in the Kodak Theatre and the fifth floor was filled with young 'uns from Gay Straight Alliances across the country. They howled like twink-banshees every time DEGRASSI was mentioned. I wish they were down in the orchestra, we needed some energy.


The ladies from EXES AND OH'S also sat at our table.


Our table had a disco-ball Absolut bottle as a centerpiece. I took it home.


After the dinner and auction I shared a town car with TRANSAMERICAN LOVE STORY'S Calpernia Addams and Andrea James to the East/West Lounge for a night cap.


I sat shotgun.


Rex Lee and I sweat a lot during the night cap.

We finished our first week of recording voices for RICK & STEVE! It has been such a long and exhausting week. I'm wiped O-U-T. We still got a ways to go, but the second season is going to be more fun than the first!

All our amazing actors from the first season are returning along with a butt load of celebrity guest stars! I'm not gonna say who they are yet. But it was a fun and humbling week of meeting hilarious people I have always wanted to work with!



It's Rick & Steve! Will Matthews and Peter Paige.


Taylor Dooley and Emily Hands.


Taylor Dooley and Billy West.


My fellow Filipino cast member, Liza Del Mundo. We play Rick's parents. We'll get a little Tagalog in there this season! Liza also plays Pussy and Ebony and various and sundry other townsfolk. She has an amazing little boy voice.

Last night I went to the premiere of yet another gay movie by yet another wonderfully talented friend. This one is KISS THE BRIDE directed by C. Jay Cox. You may have seen his last film, LATTER DAYS, or the big Hollywood film he wrote, SWEET HOME ALABAMA.

KISS THE BRIDE stars Tori Spelling and two really hot guys you probably don't know yet. One who I used to see at my old gym (Crunch) all the time and the other bartends at the Abbey. I really love seeing people from everyday life make it to the big screen. It's inspiring.

The film opens Friday in LA at the Regent Showcase Theatre. I hear it will be the last film to play there, as it's being turned into some kind of church.


With C. Jay at the after party. Another premiere another open bar.


With Jonah Blechman, whose hair is getting lopped off today. He'll be having his own gay movie premiere soon with ANOTHER GAY MOVIE's sequel.


I sat with Alec Mapa, who squirms a lot and has a great laugh for movie-going. We were a little Filipino sisterhood in an ocean of gay vanilla.


The poster was shot by the supercool Brian To, who also shot our BOY CULTURE poster.

Remember the Pulicinella Awards? The Italian animation award named for the wife-beating puppet, Punch? RICK & STEVE was nominated in the odd category "Best TV Series for All Ages." Well, we didn't win that category... but what I didn't know was we were also in the running for for BEST TV SERIES OF THE YEAR. Period. 176 shows from 24 coutries. And we won it!

We got the biggest Pulcinella of all. Here's what the jury said: "For pushing social boundaries and tackling stereotypes in a wickedly well-written, irreverent and hysterical one-of-a-kind television series."

Here we are in today's Variety.

This is a such an amazing honor-that-I'd-never-heard-of-until-last-week-but-have-wanted-more-than-anything-since-then.
