Punk Smurf pens a bilingual blog

A record with a queer edge of random musings, murmurs and dorky/silly things that are me - citizen of the world and traveller of the globe.”Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” (Dr. Seuss)”Our lives can only be lived forward and understood backwards. Living a life and understanding it, occupy different dimensions” (Soren Kierkegaard)

(Old) Stuff. This. Week

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about my radio interview on KINK FM. Well, I finally found the podcast. You can listen to it here. And EurOut published another one of my columns - this one’s about PDA.

Talking about EurOut, the editor-in-chief reminded everybody that today, August 8th, is - apparently - International Orgasm Day. Uh-huh… The first song that popped (no pun intended) into my mind was “I touch myself” by The Divinyls. Don’t ask.

Movmnt Magazine, issue 9, has a nice interview with Serena Ryder:

Hee!

In the meantime a K’s Choice fan recorded two new songs the band played at Dranouter Festival in Belgium. Both are uptempo and sound upbeat. I can’t wait for 2010 and the release of their new record! If this isn’t right / Echo Mountain.

In the meantime thousands have gathered at the Tel Aviv rally for the victims of the shooting. Read about it here. How heartwarming is this:

… And singer/songwriter Jill Sobule finally opens up on how she really feels about Katy Perry and her version of “I kissed a girl”. Maybe I am biased, but I’ve always liked and prefered Jill Sobule’s (original) take on kissing a girl.

Two American gay icons will be honored by President Barack Obama at a White House ceremony on Wednesday.

Assassinated politician Harvey Milk and tennis legend Billie Jean King are among 16 recipients of the 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom.

America’s highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom is awarded to individuals who make “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”

In the meantime Terry Moore (of Strangers in Paradise, and ECHO, fame) blogged some specifics - and posted some pictures - on the Omnibus. A few more weeks, and then my copy will be delivered, too. Looks like Christmas comes early this year!

Six inches of SiP goodness… And from Terry Moore it’s only a small step to Paige Braddock. I’ve been reading Jane’s World for the longest time (I’m now waiting to get my hands on volume 9). For those unfamiliar with JW: it’s about the life (and loves) of Jane, who lives with her room mate Ethan (a straight guy). I think it’s hilarious, and I have to say that I can relate to some of the antics… Now, this cracked me up:

Despite the fact I’m able to stay awake mmost of the day now, I still don’t feel well, and I’ve decided to go see the doctor first thing tomorrow.
