Help Me Parent-Proof My Apartment

June 23, 2011 in ListSmoker

There is nothing that causes me more stress than house guests, and when those house guests are my parents, ratchet that up by about a million. Don’t get me wrong, they are wonderful people. It’s just that my mother makes me want to stab myself in the ears with a spork before jumping out of the nearest window, and I’m not sure my father would even notice that I was gone.

Ten Things That Really Piss Me Off

January 13, 2011 in ListSmoker, Rants

1.  Being the only schmuck who picks up after my dog. Every day I walk my dog, and admittedly, I have occasionally failed to pick up my dog’s poop because I ran out of plastic baggies. But usually, nine times out of ten I’d say, I pull out the baggie, bend down to pick up the little turdlets of dog shit that my doggie deposits on the sidewalk and then quietly go on my way, leaving said baggie of dog shit in the garbage can near the entrance of my building.

BJonston’s List of Interesting Books He’s Read and the Lessons He Learned From Reading Them

January 21, 2010 in ListSmoker

1.  Exodus—Leon Uris:  Oh, so that’s how the modern state of Israel was born from the ashes of the Holocaust.  You can fuck with the Jews, but you can’t keep us down forever.  Also, Nazis = bad news.

2.  In The Heart of the Sea—Nathaniel Philbrick:  Don’t fuck with whales.  They might be cute and friendly-looking sea mammals but if you mess with them long enough, eventually, they WILL. FUCK.  YOU.  UP!

The 10 Best Pre-2009 Films That I Saw This Past Year

December 31, 2009 in ListSmoker

I enjoy the hell outta film.  Almost too much.  I’m addicted, really.  I consider my taste in film excellent, almost to the point of arrogance and elitism, but I’m okay with that.  I tend to avoid American mainstream cinema, largely for it’s lack in creative and intellectual integrity, and instead steer myself towards foreign films, independent films, and films from highly thought of auteurs, the masters such as Kurosawa, Godard, Renoir, Tarkovsky, Melville and so on.

Lawyergay’s List Of 10 Beautiful Men

October 8, 2009 in ListSmoker

I love a beautiful woman, don’t get me wrong, but I am also quite partial to the fellas. I’ve always thought that one of the reasons some men are so freaked out about us homos is that they can’t stand the thought of being stripped of their sexual agency (and, of course, their clothing) by one of their “bros,” “brohams,” “broheims,” “brahs” and/or Rip Taylor. Memo to the man-candy out there: The tables have turned, broseph! In the spirit of objectifying the hell out of some seriously sexy dudes, then, I offer you the following, in no particular order:

1. Randolph Scott: So-so actor during Hollywood’s golden age (and beyond) and Cary Grant’s secret boyfriend, Scott is the kind of handsome that makes you want to start wearing hats just so you have an excuse to run into him at the haberdasher’s.

2. Jason Bateman: Who fills out a pair of corduroys better? Bateman is both great-looking and deserves some kind of MacArthur Genius Award for his performance in “Arrested Development,” the funniest television show ever made. Read the rest of this entry →

BJonston’s List Of Ten Beautiful Women

October 7, 2009 in ListSmoker

This is a list of ten women. Ten beautiful women. Ten ladies I really like. Because, why not? We all enjoy a good list and the subject of ladies is a perennial favorite around these parts. And yeah, I’ll be the first to admit that this is probably an infantile, sophomoric, virtually meaningless exercise. That making a list of extraordinarily attractive women only furthers the cultural paradigms by which women are objectified and so on. But, I’m sure we can all agree that women are the greatest thing on Earth and if it weren’t for women, none of us would even be here. So it is in this spirit of celebration and beauty that I offer up this here list of BJonston’s top ten favorite women.*
