Yeah I can see why papa Dirk was head over heels for little Bjorn. I extremely miffed that I like muscled, stubbly men and cannot appreciate such angelic thingy.
Annoyingly I've posted this for Mr Pornandez because he isn't into angelic thingys so here's the most suitable Chad Douglas piccy I found!

Grumpily and forebodingly I have to admit that I'm a 'tash rider. What can I say? I'm tingling junkie.
Yeah, I bet that was a hard one to find, 'cause he's showing EVERYTHING all over the net hahahaha.

Their views and practices regarding the LGBT community is one of the major problems I have with raising our children Catholic.

I am deruggered that our muscle Goesta (The Enforcer) Struve-Dencher has not stopped by the Bruno Gmünder offices in Berlin and "made them an offer they couldn't refuse" Godfather style in order to get them to fork over royalty payments owed Oliver & Roger. Of course the fact that they are owed these payments is a shock to me because I didn't even know Roger and Oli were royalty.

It sounds as though th odd bottle of Riesling has been popped in Berlin:
Hi Oliver and Roger,
Thanks! Congratulations! I informed our marketing department about it. Let's hope it helps boost the sales ...

It really peeves me off when I hear that a publisher isn't paying the authors as they should. Especially with Roger being one of the "lower orders of British aristocracy." :-) hahah. Why do so many Americans have such a large obsession with royalty?
I am =>Kendra - I tried the links and well have to try again later, darn it (not cooperating). As for the fascination for royalty - we don't have any of our own so we beg, borrow and steal from everyone else! :op
I am enraged with a member in another group for completely ignoring simple facts and asking the same questions over and over. If someone who is a celebrity or has a good job comes out and it is celebrated, if it makes news, you can't say it is the norm of 2012-2013. If you want reality in the books you want to read, then you can't expect realistic books full of gay CEOS, managers or athletes, because it is not the reality of 2013. Argh!
I MUST complain about how ineffectual the administration of the university I attend is. The Offices of Student Financial Aid & Bursars are at it again. If this whole process wasn't so frighteningly Kafkaesque it would be funny. In fact it probably is, unless it's happening to you.
I'm enrolled for two summer 2013 classes and four fall 2013 classes. In filling out my financial aid forms, that is what I listed as what I would sign up for. Now I have two holds on my account. One from the Bursar saying that my bill for summer semester is past due and, as they always threaten, if the balance is not paid in full before the start of summer semester, May 20th, they will cancel my classes. Great. So, off to the Financial Aid office to see what is happening with my loans and such. They have a hold on my account because they claim I am not enrolled for the same number of classes that I had said I would enroll for. Now when I first filled out the forms, I was not enrolled for four classes IN THE FALL, only three, but I am enrolled for four classes in the fall now. But that isn't their problem. The hold is there because they claim I am not enrolled in six credit hours (two classes) for the first six week SUMMER session. But I AM enrolled for six credit hours (two classes) for the first six seek SUMMER session and have been for at LEAST a month. Why is there a hold? As usual no one seems to be able to explain, but it might be because I have an outstanding balance for my summer classes - which, of course, I have because the office of Student Financial Aid will not release my funds to the Bursar. So the Bursar won't remove the hold until they get the money and the Financial Aid office won't release the money until the Bursar removes the hold. The worst part is that the office of student financial aid claims that the Pell grant which I have supposedly already been approved for and supposedly received shouldn't be affected by either holds and that the Bursar should recognize that and not have put a hold on my account to begin with - but they just smile and say that they have no record of that.
Everyone says that it will all work out. But I have ZERO confidence in either of these offices to actually do their jobs considering the level of competency that they have illustrated to me from past experiences. Right now, after having been back and forth to both offices this morning when I should have been studying my French homework, all I am left with is - wait and see.
Except for the realization that they are probably doing this to hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of students and the university is making money on the interest off the money that the office of Student financial aid claims was already submitted to the Bursar, but which the Bursar refuses to acknowledge they have received.
I am P.O'ed that Rick has been a victim of silly bureaucracy and feel anxious because of that. I hope everything will be sorted out soon and you'll feel better, Rick.
Rick, you have my sympathies. Ah, the joys of red tape! Not.

Watching poor Dirk Bogarde obsess over the beautiful teasing Tadzio is heartbreaking and after watching it the very first time, Mahlers "Adagietto" 4th movement from the Symphony No. 5 became my all time favourite piece of classical music. The first time I heard it I cried buckets because it suited the film perfectly. The scene where he's sweating and the hair dye is running down his face stays in my mind. Fabulous film.
Oh yes! Plus the scene where they are disinfecting Venice. The music, the great beauty and the beauty of the horror, all just a magnificent movie.
@Goetsa, yes Tadzio is jailbait. He is not my thing, but I can appreciate that which I don't crave.
I am enraged! Firstly I didn't know today was the annual day of silence:( and secondly I just saw this http://massresistance.com/docs/gen2/1...ASSAULT!!! Really!!!!

Oh man, that is, is ... I don't have the words for that website, except that they're on the level of a certain so-called "Christian" church ... Bah.
How frustrating, Dreamspinner and Harmony (their YA line) ate donating 20% of all sales today to GLSEN and I wasn't planning to buy today". grrrr!!!
More of that parochial thinking, I get very angry to see such things and hate such people who use religion for their own well-being, injure homosexuals and their rights as human beings. "Day of silence" that is mental and physical bullying, meanness and injustice to others' sexuality.
I love how the facts in their brochure is out of touch with facts. In fact, those facts are more valid for heterosexuals. I just pity those people who do nothing but show hatre. That tells me that religions are related to hating differences than understanding them.
OMG! I've just been to THAT unbelievably appalling site where I've never read such utter , poisonous, garbage before! It mentions some idiotic woman and states she is a mother ..... Well god help her children for being so unfotrtunate to be born into such a nasty family environment as that. Pity is they will have no chance to form their own opinions after being brainwashed and pounded with such dreadful..... I really want to say the sh word but I'll settle for excrement! In Helles words Grrrrrrrrrrr! I'm off to Dreamspinner to buy some books so that I can help donate to GLSEN!
From academic bureaucracy through financial irresponsibility to fundamentalist idiocy, this appears to be a wretched day for all, and I commiserate withal. Sadly, I have little energy for anything more than that. But am with you in spirit! Still dithering, sorry LL, Roger & Zack, whether I should rattle sabres at Gmünder, since I have vague plans to try them myself one of these months, once the novel's done. Ah, the evils of self-interest. More realistically, I never win these things; I have at least three fights currently going (losing) with various service companies. I'm just too darn NICE, which apparently they can sniff out even between the lines of my outraged, legal-action-threatening prose. Like people on the street who always zero in on me to ask for money or smokes, rather than anyone I'm with.
I am rainbow-raged with people like this so called mission. Sad sad individuals who only live to hate. So now every obese woman is gay? So all cancers are from deviant behavior or just specific ones?
Wow, I need a drink and like two hours of kinky kinky manly porn to erase all that steaming crap from my system.

Congratulations Roger xxxx
Glad you won Roger! Most of the times I get notice to cast my vote, but this year, not a whiff. Beside yours the only one that really made me happy was August, excellent movie.
@ Roger & Oli
I need to complain that the French President is at it again. His cyber-thugs have come and removed the words "and Oliver" for all the above posts that accord congratulations for the 2013 Gaybie Best Romance/Best Erotic Romance Book award from the public voting tabulated by TLA.
Obviously a Zack book is not a Zack book without Zack Art as drawn by the legendary world-acclaimed master of gay artistry Oliver Frey (see http://www.zack-art.com ) as demonstrated on the cover of Zack the Art.
So all those Congratulations/Congrats Roger and Oli messages are missing the "and Oli" because that Frog King has done it again. He really is devious.
On behalf of all the members of the Complaint Department including those whose messages were messed up by the tyrannical plot against you—
CONGRATS BOTH OLIVER & ROGER ON HAVING A GAYBIE
AWARDED FOR:
I regret that I cannot complain about Death in Vencie since I love that movie. What a beautiful film (I do need to read the book though). In fact, coincidentally, I just re-watched it last week. I love the scene with Tadzio teasing Gustav by weaving back and forth between the polls, making sure that Gustav gets to see every single of his body. And look at Tadzio's eyes, the intensity of ensuring that Gustav is watching him is there in every glance. Just mesmerizing.

I hope everything will be sorted out soon and you'll feel better, Rick."I really hate dealing with these offices. They are SO frustratingly dehumanizing. Thank you for the sentiments Anil and Lori (and everyone). It's been a long day and I probably failed a French quiz because I did not study as much as a should have and had poor concentration on what did study. BUT - I did get the Office of Student Financial Aid to lift their hold on my account, so now I only have to get the Bursar's office to acknowledge that they've gotten my funds. Hopefully in a week or two it will get all ironed out and I won't have to resort to daily complaining in their offices.

Congrats Roger & Oliver!!!Sorry Rick:( those things suck.
Thanks to everyone for the congrats! And don't worry, Goesta, about storming the Gmünder offices unless it's on your own behalf. The Ryanair flight's low cost so we can nip over to Berlin and Something that's often overlooked about Visconti's Death In Venice is the way he created Dirk Bogarde's amazing performance. Although if you're a Bogarde fan, you'll know his "serious" performances in films like Joe Losey's Accident, but to the majority of the cinema-goers, Bogarde was a lightweight matinée actor, so Death In Venice was an eye-opener
Roger wrote: "Thanks to everyone for the congrats! And don't worry, Goesta, about storming the Gmünder offices unless it's on your own behalf. The Ryanair flight's low cost so we can nip over to Berlin and beat ..."I am annoyed that Roger has added yet another interesting tidbit to my general knowledge. I have only seen a few Bogarde films, and have always considered him an amazing actor. I guess I must have caught the "serious" ones by accident, though not as yet "Accident".
I am frustrated because I have no idea what movies your are talking about?!? And never have seen any of the movies, so I sit here and see what the talk are going.
Not to worry Helle. I regret to say that I am useless at watching movies and so I also have no idea about the films people are talking about. I shall endeavour to put them on my list of things to do when I have no books to read :)
Story of my life (I hope not, never mind my name). Speaking of characters.I am deeply embarrassed that I feel an urge to introduce the main characters of the novel I'm writing to you, via a bit I just fiddled together, to celebrate getting back into the swing.
Ijeoma I see more like the new movies from UK, USA etc. but I like to learn about movies, new as old ones so maybe I can find the movie and see it.
Goesta thank you for introducing your the main characters of the novel that you write, happy that you are getting back into the swing.
I like to complain that I am tired and wake up early because of my pain, and that my parents need to give the hospital a earfull because they have not done the things asap that we want them to do :-(

happyirked that I managed to go to Kendras links and sign both petitions.
