in passing

So why has no one ever told me about Leslie Jordan before? And why does he never get real parts outside of "Will & Grace"? Because he's doing a one-man show in the theater I work at, and on Sunday before the show while I was working box office he popped his head in to ask about ticket sales and I was all thinking Psh, you're a strange little old man but whatever, you seem to sell tickets. And then the theater was kinda dead once his audience went in and my supervisor was all, just go see his show now. So I did. And OMGWTFBBQ, this strange little old man is a fucking GENIUS and hysterically funny and incredibly gay, and now I really want him to pop his head into the box office again while I'm working there because he is so WEE and FEY and FABULOUS and I want to squeeze him a lot.

Leslie Jordan, yo. If any of y'all are in or around the Chicago area between now and September 4, get thee hence to the play "Like a Dog on Linoleum" at the theater wot I work at. Seriously. It is all kinds of fabulous.

In other news, walking to the El from work, this relatively normal-looking guy stops me on the street.
Guy: Can I talk to you for a second?
Me: (warily) What about?
Guy: (looking strangely disappointed) You're into chicks, right?
Me: O_O
Guy: Yeah, you're into chicks. (walks away)

That was...interesting. I've never been pegged as a dyke before. I mean, I ping so straight that people think I'm kidding when I say I'm bi. And this guy wasn't a street wacko, just a normal guy. So bizarre.
