Own a Piece of History

For $2.3M, you could own the house used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off as his friend Cameron's home (garage included!) And it's being listed by John Hughes sister!! (Not really - I made that up, but her name IS Hughes...)

Without Pretense

His name is Thiago, which is a variation on Tiago. Both of which are very indicative of Brazilian, but the "misspelling" with the 'h' is especially so.

Make you Sweat

We're having another blast of summer. About 90 yesterday, probably about 95 today. Tomorrow will be like 70 and raining, so it's not permanent heat. And of course, Nauber wanted to go to "the beach" last night. Where we could go at 6:30pm from here, to find a beach, I don't know. Maybe I should have just hosed him down in the back yard!

Hottie of the Week

Futbol

Here's a blog I stumbled upon. It features men in various stages of dress / undress. It favors soccer players, but will dabble in celebrities, as well. Frequently not workplace-friendly.

Academia

Facing the prospect of full-time student again. Lots of studying.

Validation is Great

I took the GMAT exam (business school admissions test) this morning. And the estimated score (they still have to read the essays) came back as 760 out of 800, which places me in the 99th percentile. I am in the top 1% of all GMAT takers!! I haven't turned dumb, even after all those years at the essence-draining job I had.

My friend Nish, upon hearing me exult, replied with "Well, you can go anywhere - you should try for Harvard!" Turns out I missed the app deadline there by two months. So, no Harvard. (Images of Elle Woods "you mean like on vaca!?" kept dancing through my head!) So, UMass Boston will most likely still end up being the school I go to. Though wouldn't that be cool if UC San Diego (who will receive the scores) calls me up to chat??

Hot Mormon Boys

I know a fair number of people who have expressed the opinion that Mormon boys are often quite yummy. Their religion tends to be a little uptight about sex, even compared to other Christian denominations. Maybe it is that unavailability that lends them that extra touch of desirability.

Well, one Mormon decided to make them more accessible! He got excommunicated for his efforts. But let us rejoice in the fruits of his labor.

Epic Brazilian

I get the feeling that the Boston gay club scene is being overrun by Brazilians. I was at Epic again this past weekend. Went with Nauber and Mykael. We picked up Nauber's friend Geremias on the way into Boston, as well. Ronny would have come, but he was tired from working too much again.

At the club, I bumped into Diego and Marcelo. Marcelo and Geremias do know each other from the mutual friends that invited Geremias to come to Framingham. Marcelo (Mr. I'll You Tomorrow) was a bit flirty until I pointed out (3rd time) that Nauber (that guy right there) is 'meu namorado'. Diego also was flirty, but he was there with his boyfriend, so it was risk-free. He did apparently like my hair, too. I buzzed it all off again.

We met up with Nish there, and were all hanging out together. Then Nish's ex, Mark, shows up. I said hello, and he mentioned that he "was not expecting to see" me there. It seemed like an odd thing to say, so I had a feeling it meant Sergio was around. Sure enough, I did see him out on the dancefloor later, though I did not go over to say hello, and he did not come over to me, either.

Mateus was there, as always. It's getting tiresome trying to draw his attention, so I didn't chase him down to say hello. He is always there with at least 4 other friends, all Brazilian, having a good time. Either he was too wrapped up in his bubble of a world, or just didn't want to say hello to me.

I also saw the latino guy from last summer, Juno, out on the dancefloor. He was with some guy, so I was happy for him. The guy was tall, lanky, dorky, wearing glasses, messy computer-science-major hair. OMG - his type is dorky white guys. That would make me one, to his eyes anyway, too.

When I was college, gay clubs were about 90% white. Looking around this past weekend, I would guess it was around 30% white. A few more blacks than those Olden days, and still not very many Asians, but lots and lots of Hispanics. Eastern Massachusetts is quickly becoming the largest US population of Brazilians, which only started 5/10 years ago, so I don't know how this trend is going across the entire country, but I know at least one person whose happy!

Already

Tuesday of this past week was about 90° outside. It has cooled back down to seasonal temps since then, but Nauber has started insisting on going to the beach. Beach. Beach!



And, yes, this is in Brazil.
