chicken and potatoes

....just might be my new obsession.

is that creepy?

like, seriously...grilled chicken and roasted potatoes.

i go through these crazy food addictions...for about a year it's been yogurt. it started off exclusively with dannon raspberry yogurt in the blue containers (cuz that light n fit shit in the purple containers fucking sucks and tastes like sweet-n-lo). then it sort of grew into plain yogurt with fruit and granola. for breakfast...every morning. low- or no-fat yogurt of course, because i need to lose 400 lbs. (and yes my goal is to weigh -220 lbs.)

anyway the point is now it's chicken and potatoes. preferably on the blue plate special from whole foods, but i don't always have time to wait in lines that stretch all the way to Westchester.

chicken and potatoes. almost as bland as this blog entry. but i can't fucking stop thinking about it and where the hell do i get chicken and potatoes at 3 a.m.? (that whole "new york is the city that never sleeps" thing is the greatest lie ever told)

ramen it is then. goddammit.

why oh why

so im in a hotel room in delaware trying to do some work on my laptop before taking the train back to NYC (since i don't sleep anymore, i might as well be productive)

played here at the University of Delaware last night, and the show was a lot of fun...thanks so much to everyone here who came last night...and especially to Doug & Andrew & everyone at their organization for inviting me and making it happen

the show in Paris sold out in under 24 hours! hopefully no one's getting left out as space is limited, but there's still space at the 2nd london show...and it's only a train ride away! :)

speaking of trains i have to leave for mine. it's back to NYC and straight to work from penn station (i proofread legal documents for a translation company). why oh why must i have a dayjob?

i'm probably going to be waiting tables at a diner when i'm 80. with no retirement fund or health insurance. god bless america!

the world as i see it

to blog or not to blog

hi. my name is jay brannan, and i have a stomach ache, but i'm sure you don't care.

i don't have a stomach ache because i'm sick...i have a stomach ache because i've...i'm...oh god. can i even say it?

i'm blogging

ew that word tastes bad

but. the truth is a lot of people have asked me to do it for a long time. and i have a real hard time keeping up with the emails i get from people, and i feel really bad not being able to answer them all--or sometimes being months behind.

so i figure MAYBE this is a way to let you know what i'm doing and to check in every now and then with the people who might care--or for those who don't care at all, but are bored enough to end up here anyway. so i'm giving it a shot.

conclusion: i'm not blogging because i particularly have anything interesting say. i'm not blogging because i think anyone really cares what i have to say.

i'm blogging because you made me.
